Not a lot of whisky news to announce this week, although of course there was the official presentation of the Diageo Special Releases 2019, with prices.
They will be arriving in stores soon and you can already (pre-)order from online shops like The Whisky Exchange or Loch Fyne.
Longrow 21 Year Old
An upcoming release from Springbank Distillers: Longrow 21 Year Old, a well-aged version of their double-distilled heavily peated expression, now in its 2019 edition. It is bottled at 46% ABV from a mixture of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Starting to arrive in UK stores as we speak.
Kilchoman 2010 vintage
Kilchoman presented the fourth and final release for 2019, the Kilchoman 2010 vintage. It is a vatting of 42 bourbon barrels and 3 Oloroso sherry butts, bottled at 48% ABV.
