4 nye i serien Authors' fra Hunter Laing

Hunter Laing introducerede Authors' series sidste år ved samme tid. De har forsøgt at lave et par ud fra en forfatter mod en single malt således at smag og karakter fra whiskyen passer med forfatterens liv og arbejde.

Som sidst er der kommet 4 nye aftapninger fra forskellige destillerier, hver er en single cask aftapning ved fad styrke.

De 4 aftapninger er som følger:

Littlemill 1988 Authors' series Gustave Flaubert
 
This 26 year old Littlemill is from the limited edition Authors Series where the finest whiskies are selected from rare single casks. This single malt whisky is limited to 137 bottles and has been bottled at a cask strength of 56% volume. Bottled in July 2015 from a refill hogshead. Distilled in November 1988. Littlemill distillery was closed and destroyed in 1996 and this sort of release is something to get the heart racing!

Whisky Shop Tasting Notes
Honeyed flavours combine with wood spice and a herbal and savoury quality, cobnuts and popcorn lead to a finish of over ripened fruits, peach stone, toasted cereals and poppy seed.


Springbank 1997 Authors' series Alexandre Dumas   

Single cask Springbank is a rare commodity these days so to find an expression that tastes this good is a joy. This single malt whisky is limited to 96 bottles and has been bottled at a cask strength of 56.5% volume. Bottled in November 2015 from a refill hogshead and distilled in April 1997.

Whisky Shop Tasting Notes
Rich, dry and moody with a peaty/turfy edge balanced with dark chocolate, dried fruits and a rum like sweetness plus lovely smoky moments the finish has lots of charred oak and smoke with rich fudge and molasses adding sweetness. A great Springbank

Allt A Bhainne 1993 Authors' series Mark Twain  
 
Introducing a stunning 22 year old Allt A Bhaine from the limited edition Authors Series featuring products selected from rare single casks. This single malt whisky is limited to 196 bottles and has been bottled at a cask strength of 53.9% volume. Bottled in October 2015 from a refill hogshead. Distilled in May 1993

Whisky Shop Tasting Notes
Classic Speyside style with buttery toffee, honeyed cereal bars and fresh fruits of yellow plum and sharon fruit, water adds a light creamy coffee touch, (think tiramisu), a finish of soft oak and a sticky syrupy sweetness.

Hele serien kan findes her, det samme kan priserne og de er ikke just billige..
