Producer Description
"This is Whisky Sponge Edition No.99: the Penultimate Sponge! Like Edition No.1, it’s a sexy old Glen Moray. However, for this one, we did some well-honed Decadent Drinks cask mixology and muddled together a refill hogshead of 1990 Glen Moray with a 2nd fill sherry hogshead of 1991 Glen Moray. We left that brew to stew inside the sherry hoggie for several months, then bottled the mix at natural cask strength. It’s fruity, opulent, decadent and tastes like the set furniture from 2001 Space Odyssey draped with all the cardigans in rural Englandshire. Please enjoy this whisky while trawling this website and reading every single rear label on every single bottling we ever did. The first person to spot the cheekily concealed secret to quantum fusion technology contained within will win a t-shirt and a bespoke insult from the Sponge."

"We wanted to celebrate and mark the final edition of Whisky Sponge with a whisky that was excellent quality, one that was collaborative and that we’d had a role in creating and making unique to us, and that was modern in the best sense and looked to the future. We feel we have succeeded in this – we hope you agree. Now, please buy a bottle of this whisky, place it into your rucksack, put on a sturdy pair of brogues and walk to the far West Highlands of Scotland, whereupon you will spend the rest of your days communing with nature and enjoying erotic woodland rituals with whoever will agree to participate. Good luck and farewell!
