Whisky Sponge Aberlour 33 Year Ed. No.92
$699.99
We don't often see independent bottlings of Aberlour, let alone a 33 year old! This 92nd Whisky Sponge edition was created through the marriage of two refill hogsheads, one each from 1989 and 1991. The whisky was bottled at 49%. 90.17pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"Whisky Sponge Edition No.92 is a 33 year old multi-vintage Aberlour. Made by mixing together and marrying two refill hogsheads, one from 1989 and one from 1991. This brew was then imprisoned in glass at natural marrying strength. The 1989 was big and spicy, the 1991 was soft and floral. But when their powers combine... they made hyper tasty, fruity, mature Aberlour. This is exactly the kind of small-batch tinkering that we love to do here at Decadent Drinks. And we are pretty pleased with this as our very first Aberlour bottling.
"Please put your booties up and sip this rather sexy old Aberlour with a sense of wholesome bliss and enjoy the sensation of your mind gently emptying down the cosmic plug hole that nestles secretively at the top of your spine and which can only be accessed by applying the correct level of whisky-themed deliciousness. Thank you."
Whisky Sponge Auchentoshan 31 Year Ed. N
$794.99
Whisky Sponge Edition No.84 is a 31 year old Auchentoshan from a 2nd fill ex-Bourbon Barrel filled in 1991. 53.6% 89.33pts Whiskybase & 91pts WhiskyFun!
Producer Description
"Auchentoshan is, of course, usually rather boring and flimsy. However, this cask displayed an abnormal abundance of ripe fruits, honey, dried flowers and even soft waxy notes. In other words, loads of lovely, slightly old school, mature malt whisky character. Probably the best Auchentoshan we’ve ever tried, largely by virtue of being not too much like Auchentoshan.
"If you are a fan of Auchentoshan, please be aware, this whisky may have too much flavour and charisma for you.
"If you are a fan of flavoursome, mature and fruity malt whiskies, please sip this carefully while sitting in an oversize safety armchair and wearing a cycle helmet and a life jacket."
Whisky Sponge Ben Nevis 10 Year Ed. No.8
$209.99
Matured in a single Refill Sherry Butt, this 10 year old Whisky Sponge Ben Nevis has been bottled at 52%.
Producer Description
"We love Ben Nevis primarily because of its magnificently thick and charismatic distillate. This 2013 refill butt was full-on distillate-driven glory, but we also decided to experiment a little with this cask, primarily because the natural ABV was super high, around 67%! So, we re-racked this butt into four refill American oak quarter casks in order to maximize the head space and expose the whisky to more air and oxidative ageing. We also started to manage the reduction of the whisky in cask so as to bring it down in stages to our preferred bottling strength of 52%, this was where we felt the sweet spot was that expressed the distillery character inits most waxy and grungy glory. The refill quarter casks worked well for this as they managed to round the whisky off without adding any overt or vulgar woodiness to the beautiful distillate. The result is a superbly charismatic, powerful and pure highlander!"
Whisky Sponge Bladnoch 34 Year Ed. No.90
$824.99
This 1990 vintage Bladnoch, Whisky Sponge Ed. 90, is the second half of a cask partially bottled in 2023. This release has been bottled at 55.1% after 34 years in a Refill Barrel!. 91.25pts Whiskybase and 91pts WhiskyFun
Producer Description
"To mark the milestone that is Whisky Sponge Edition No.90, we have bottled the remainder of our Bladnoch 1990. It is 34 years old, has spent the entirety of its life in refill barrel and has been bottled at natural cask strength.
"We bottled a small amount of this as a Special Edition last year and left the remainder to continue maturing with additional head space in the cask to enhance the oxidative aspects and fruity qualities. We think the result is stunning and this is a whisky for anyone who loves old fruit bombs."
