The renowned wholesaler and importer Kirsch Whiskey has announced a whole series of exciting new bottlings for whiskey enthusiasts. This includes many bottlings from the "The Single Malts of Scotland" series, a new malt whiskey from the Irish Dingle Distillery and the last bottling of the "Raasay While You Wait". Here is a brief overview:
The Single Malts of Scotland
The "Single Malts of Scotland" range from Elixir Distillers offers single cask bottlings of exclusively selected casks from the five whiskey regions of Scotland. The series is filled in cask strength or 46% vol., Without artificial coloring and without cooling filtration. There are also "Reserve Casks" fillings from small batches of 4-6 barrels, filled with 48.0% vol.
The new products that have just been released include: a. Single malts from the distilleries Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, Bowmore, Glen Elgin, Glen Keith, Glenlossie, Glenrothes and Imperial.
Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey Batch # 5
Since 2012 there is a distillery in the picturesque village of Dingle on Ireland's west coast. The Dingle Distillery produces a small amount of Irish single malt whiskey here, which the distillery's founder, Oliver Hughes, describes as "malty, soft, delicious & velvety". However, each of the small batch bottlings has its own character. Batch 5 of the single malt whiskey matured in bourbon, PX and Madeira barrels, to which it owes aromas of raisins, blossom honey and vanilla.
Raasay While We Wait - "Last Orders"
In order to shorten the waiting time until Raasay's first own malt whiskey, which is still maturing, the R&B Distillers created the "Raasay While We Wait". The single malt comes from an undisclosed Highland distillery and is a mixture of peat and untied whiskey, finished in Tuscan red wine barrels. The malt is intended to provide a foretaste of the eagerly awaited Raasay whiskey: a slightly peaty single malt with a fruity taste and a long finish. The "Last Orders" is the last "While We Wait" bottling before the first own single malt whiskey on the island of Raasay will be available.
We hope to see some of these exciting new whiskey novelties from Kirsch shortly
