Chapter 5 kommer lidt omkring David Stewart og hans karrierer hos William Grant and Sons.
Der er blandt andet en Fino Sherry Butt aftapning med her, og det er første gang Balvenie aftapper noget fra et fino butt.
David Stewart forklarer: "it has produced a very different taste sensation from what's normally expected"
David C Stewart startede hos William Grant and Sons i 1962, derfor er der en aftapning med fra dette år.
56 år gammel aftapning fra en european oak hogshead, fyldt 29. juni 1962.
Noter:
Nose Fragrant fruity and honeyed, ending on a delicate spiciness.
Taste Rich, velvety with toffee, honeycomb, vanilla, orange peel and ginger.
Finish Sweet, citrussy and gentle spices
I 1974 blev David Master Blender og fik ansvaret for Grants Blended Whisky, såvel Glenfiddich og Balvenie single malts.
Derfor er der en 44 år gammel aftapning fra et refill american oak barrel med, fra 9. december 1974

Aberfeldy har fundet tre fade fra 1978, som vil blive aftappet som single cask aftapninger.
Ikke nok med det, så bliver alle tre fade håndaftappet på destilleriet. Er man i området og har £2500, så kan man tage ind forbi destilleriet og selv håndaftappe fra Cask #5029.
Der kommer i alt ca. 400 flasker fra de tre fade. Cask #5029 skulle give omkring 160 flasker ved 50,1%
Har man ikke selv mulighed for at komme forbi, vil destilleriet aftappe for dig.
Noter Cask #5029 (Aberfeldy):
Honeysuckle and freshly cut grass, ushers in the signature notes of heather honey.
On the palate, a burst of cloves, then relaxing with cereal notes.

Den 5. aftapning af White Stag er nu klar, aftappet ved 57,1%
Aftapningen kommer fra 4 ex-Sherry Hogsheads hvor det yngste er 9 år gammel. Der er kommet 915 flasker af disse fade.
Noter (Arran):
Nose: Freshly baked bread, warm spiced tropical fruits and a soft hint of mandarin. A promise of creamy butterscotch and vanilla balanced oak.
Palate: The strength sits quietly in the background, allowing the complexity of the flavours to come to the fore. Gingerbread mingles with honey and caramel, and richer notes of figs and cherries also become apparent. Beautifully balanced with just the right touch of oak and spice to give it a truly gourmet mouthfeel.
Finish: The reassuringly familiar taste of Arran. Mouthwatering notes of dark fruit and sweet spices give way to intense liquorice and cloves, finishing on roast coffee beans, raisins and dark chocolate. An intense beam of flavour fades into a gorgeous afterglow, evoking memories of the magical warehouses in which this whisky matured. Unforgettable and thoroughly satisfying.
Pris £120,00

Triskelion er sat sammen af tre Master Whisky Makers – Gordon Motion, Max McFarlane og John Ramsay. De har udforsket og fundet first-fill cask types til denne aftapning. First-fill sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks og first-bill bourbon barrels og hogsheads er sat sammen med en lille smule refill casks.
Hvad er Triskelion:
"The symbol of the triskelion – also known as the triskele or triquetra – is found in many ancient cultures. It features three bent branches or spirals radiating from one central point. In Norse mythology, the Horn Triskelion depicts three inter-locking horns and is associated with the story of Odin and the Mead of Poetry.
According to legend, the Mead of Poetry is a magical beverage that will allow whoever drinks it to become a poet or a scholar. Stored in three precious containers – or horns – it was guarded jealously by the giantess Gunnlöò. The great Norse god Odin tricked the giantess and managed to consume the mead from all three horns before assuming the shape of an eagle and flying away, spilling a few precious drops of mead into the mortal world where it was said to inspire poetry and wisdom."

Som tallene antyder, så er Bruichladdich kommet med en 30 års aftapning fra 1988.
‘the Untouchable’ har ligget på refill ex-bourbon og squat hogsheads og er de sidste fade tilbage fra 1988 hos Bruichladdich.
Noter (Bruichladdich):Colour – A rich orange blossom honey.
Aroma – Initially sweet red fruit – cherry, strawberry then dried fruit – raisin, date and apricot syrup. Candied orange peel and lemon balm. Through the fruit comes chocolate, toasted oak, roasted hazelnuts, and a briny note like salted honey. The boiled sweet notes of strawberry and orange are constant and the toasted oak gives depth to the nose.
Taste – After the luscious notes on the nose this is surprisingly light and elegant on the palate. The soft texture holds a depth of flavour, again dominated by boiled sweet style fruit but the French oak gives structure and balance with its tannins. There is roasted coffee, amaretto, apricot, and toasted malty bread show the presence and depth in the oak.
