Notes
Leap Year only happens once every four years, so it should be celebrated with a truly special whisky! We found precisely that in Distillery 155! Our inaugural release from this Israeli distillery, based in Tel Aviv, comes in the form of our popular comparative series – Distillery Dive! Distillery Dive #155: A Swan Song compares and contrasts two malts of the same age and cask maturation with different malt specifications.
With Distillery Dive #155: A Swan Song, we juxtapose two 4-year-old malts aged entirely in 1st fill shaved/toasted/re-charred barriques. Israel’s hot climate accelerates the maturation process, and this type of cask packs the distillate with loads of flavour! Cask No. 155.1 A great starter was crafted from 100% unpeated malt and boasts a profile that might remind you of a delicious cocktail – bold spices, burnt orange peel and loads of honeyed character. Floral accents throughout lend sophistication to the well-textured and round palate. Cask No. 155.2 Blended at birth was crafted from 50% peated malt and 50% unpeated malt. The result is a roasty, toasty and tasty palate of game meats, stewed berry fruits and rum raisin ice cream. We suggest you try these casks side-by-side to compare and contrast the exotic styles mastered by Dr. Jim Swan and perfected by the talented team at Distillery 155!
If ordered separately: Cask No. 155.1= $150; Cask No. 155.2= $150.
