Ten New Batches of Indie Boutique-y Whisky

Ten New Batches of Indie Boutique-y Whisky

We've got a ten new batches of single malt Scotch whiskies to share with you today - so let's get stuck in!

We've been very busy indeed getting a whole load of brand new batches from top Scotch whisky distilleries, including a few that we haven't bottled in quite a while. Well now is the time to enjoy the fruits of our labour as we show off ten new bottlings!

So, let's start with a bang - 29 year old Macallan! Oh yes. We've managed to get our hands of an absolutely brilliant 29 year old single malt from the Speyside-based distillery, and it's been bottled at 47.3% ABV with an outturn of only 217 bottles.

Continuing on the Speysider theme, behold our fourth batch of Auchroisk! A youthful though flavoursome expression from Auchroisk, matured for just 7 years before we bottled it up at 52.1% ABV. 502 bottles were produced.

Everyone is talking about Islay these days, what with Fèis Ìle 2018 happening and all. It only seems right that we unveil our fourteenth batch of Ardbeg! This smoky treat was aged for 12 years before being bottled at 49.2% ABV, with 1,928 bottles being made.

After it's first batch, we heard a call for "More Dalmore!" Well, we're more than happy to oblige! We've bottled another batch of Dalmore single malt, this time aged for 14 years before being bottled at 51.3% ABV. 811 bottles are ready to find new homes.

It's been a few years since we bottled up some Blair Athol single malt, so we decided to change that! Observe, it's our second batch of Blair Athol, aged for 17 years and bottled at 48.8% ABV. Only 502 of these bottles were produced.

Speaking of whiskies that we haven't bottled in a while, we've also managed to bottle our second batch of Inchmurrin single malt from the Loch Lomond distillery! It's a 23 year old expression, bottled at 47.3% ABV with an outturn of 285 bottles.

We've also bottled our fifth batch of single malt from the Strathmill distillery. At this point, we may have ran out of 'Goldilocks & the Three Bears'-based puns to announce these whiskies, so we'll just stick with "It's yummy". Batch five is 11 years old, bottled at 51.1% ABV and with an outturn of 702 bottles.

Feast your eyes upon the fantastic Fettercairn that we've just bottled! This one is 21 years old, bottled at 48.6% ABV with 669 bottles produced. Packed to the brim with caramelised fruit and vanilla-rich barley, this one.

Goat and whisky enthusiasts will be more than happy to here that we've bottled our second batch of Inchgower single malt! This one is 17 years old, and has been bottled at 47.4% ABV with an outturn of 225 bottles.

And finally, say hello to our fourth batch of Linkwood single malt! It's 11 years old, and has been bottled at 51.2% ABV with an outturn of 956 bottles. We're still rather pleased with the Ship of Theseus/Only Fools and Horses/actual whisky story referencing label.

A Massive Medley of New Releases!

A Massive Medley of New Releases!

We're always busy here at TBWC HQ, and we've been particularly active as of late - as demonstrated by this litany of new bottlings!

It's time for another huge haul of new That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottlings to fly the coop, so to speak. The TBWC HQ is a bit fancier than a coop. There's significantly less hay than your everyday coop - which is a blessing and a curse, really. Sometimes you really just want a big pile of hay to sleep in. Anyway. Whisky!

It's been quite a while since we bottled a Caperdonich single malt, but the Caperdonich drought (Caperdrought? Does that just sound like an intense lack of capers?) has ceased! Our first batch of Caperdonich with an age statement - this one is a 22 year old expression, bottled at 48.6% ABV. Only 250 bottles of this rare single malt were produced.

We've just bottled our 11th batch of single malt from the Islay-based Bruichladdich distillery, and this one is a wonderfully flavoursome expression. Bottled at 13 years old, with an ABV of 47.6%, expect oodles of juicy fruit notes and a hint of salinity. 478 bottles were produced.

We're heading to the Lowlands for this next one - it's Batch 4 of our Auchentoshan! This one was matured for 24 years, and bottled at 50.6% ABV. A classically gentle Lowland, with a zesty kick of citrus at its core. A release of 542 bottles.

"Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." to tell you about our newest bottling of Allt-á-Bhainne single malt! For Batch 5, we've bottled up a terrific 22 year old expression, with only 222 bottles produced. Couldn't have planned that better if we tried.

It's important to remember that Scotland isn't the only place that makes whisky - why not branch out a little bit and treat yourself to a fantastic Single Malt Irish Whiskey! We've bottled this stunning expression at 8 years old and 45.7% ABV, producing 876 bottles.

Fancy branching out even further? Well then, why not try something very new indeed - our first batch of Tennessee Bourbon Whisky #1! It's a brilliant 14 year old bourbon, bottled 52.2% ABV. With 547 bottles produced, don't expect these to stick around for long...

We've bottled another stunning Aultmore! Batch 8 is a 20 year old expression, bottled at 52.1% ABV with an outturn of 997 bottles. The shark and velociraptor remain at odds with each other. Some things never change.

We've got a new bottling of Benrinnes, too! For Batch 5, we got our hands on a splendidly delicious 17 year old single malt, and bottled it at 47.6% ABV. A release of 940 bottles.

People keep sending things into space (cars, botanicals, humans), with the intent of finding a planet which is completely covered in fur, like on the label of our Blended Whisky #2. None have been successful, but never fear - we've released a new batch to reignite the fires of discovery! This one is 22 years old, and 1,650 bottles were produced.

Many moons ago we released our first batch of Dailuaine. Seems like it's about time we got our act together and bottled Batch 2, don't you think? Well surprise! We predicted that you would agree with that question and have Dailuaine Batch 2 already ready! It's a 15 year old expression, bottled at 47.5% ABV with an outturn of 950 bottles.

The hits keep coming - we've got Batch 5 of our Glen Keith single malt ready to go! We've bottled another wonderful 24 year old whisky from the distillery in Speyside, producing 377 bottles presented at 49.1% ABV.

Feast your eyes upon our first BenRiach bottling with an age statement. This is a 9 year old single malt, presented at 51.7% ABV and with 2,501 bottles produced. We thought 2,500 bottles wouldn't be quite enough.

Another first - our very first bottling of Glencadam single malt is here! A youthful expression, bottled at 6 years old at 47.5% ABV, but it's by no means a straightforward dram. 454 bottles were produced.

Finally, we couldn't help but treat you to another excellent single grain from Invergordon! For Batch 16(!), we've bottled a 10 year old single grain, boasting a vanilla-forward flavour profile with hints of floral freshness in the background. 217 bottles were produced.

Release The Peat! (and some old grain)

Release The Peat! (and some old grain)

Good things come in threes, so they say, so here are three new releases to tempt you. Two from Islay (renowned for its peated whiskies), and a rather refined and long aged blended grain.

Our first ever release under the brand spanking new Octomore label is a 6 Year Old. And what a label it is, cracking work Emily! Octomore is the name for the the most heavily peated barley distilled at the Bruichladdich distillery. You wanted phenols, and this comes fully loaded with all of them! 796 bottles have been filled at 50.4% abv

There's a new release from Bowmore too, a 15 Year Old bottled at 48.3% abv. It's our eighth batch from Islay's oldest distillery, and we've filled 904 bottles! Expect all of the traditional Bowmore sweet smoky leafy notes wrapped in a sea breeze. 

Our final announcement in this trio of taste bud ticklers is a 50 Year Old Blended Grain. It's a new label too, but Batch 1 was sneaked out in our Advent Calendar at the end of 2017. Just 60 bottles will be available of this fine old grain whisky. Check out the label, most of our tasting notes can be found within (not the ship obviously)

These tantalising treats are available from fine retailers at the following recommended retail prices:

  • Octomore Batch 1, 6 Year Old - £144.95
  • Bowmore Batch 8, 15 Year Old - £77.95
  • Blended Grain Batch 1, 50 Year Old - £164.95
