Tasting Notes

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Deeply autumnal and 'warehouse-y,' the aroma speaks of profound maturity. Rich malty notes are interwoven with polished, ancient oak. It's a complex profile that evokes a sense of 'time travel in a glass'—a classic, old-school funk alongside notes of warmed, slightly dusty vinyl and a surprising lift of overripe tropical fruit like mango and papaya, all balanced by a hint of sweet tobacco leaf.

Taste: The remarkably oily and coating texture introduces an old-school, funky, and complex flavour. Deep maturity is evident in notes of damp, mossy oak, exotic decaying fruit (rotting banana peel, dried figs), aged saddle leather, pipe tobacco, and dark, bitter chocolate. This savoury weight is beautifully balanced by bright whiffs of fresh, clean tropical fruit and a subtle, honeyed sweetness, speaking to the spirit's remarkable age and vitality.

Independent Bottler

That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."

TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.

We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.
