This foray into the “Two to One” ultra-small batch program started with old school distillate from the Highlands. Two 14-year-old bourbon barrels saw additional maturation, one in PX sherry and the other in a medium toast barrique, for 2 more years before marriage. As the name suggests, it’s a whirlwind of baked delights from around the world. Plenty to unpack in this impressive single malt.

Tasting Panel Notes
Unbound by physics, we became omnipresent in the pantries of pastry chefs everywhere. Skolebrød mingled with dolly mixtures and cassia bark, woody ginger gave way to rhubarb and gorse flowers, and macarons tussled with crushed soor plooms. The starting point for this small batch was two bourbon barrels of single malt Scotch whisky. They were each transferred to new casks at 14 years old: one cask was a first-fill American oak PX hogshead, while the other was a new American oak barrique with a medium toast and toasted heads. The casks were then married together before bottling.
