Blended Spirit Drink

Auld Alford’s Batch 2,, 52 Year Old -An second batch of our Auld Alford’s spirit drink, our label inspired by a classic blended Scotch whisky of yesteryear (Ainslie’s “Old Liqueur Whisky”..All those wonderful words; “Vintage” “Specially Selected” and my favourite “Bottled Too Late”, in this case referring to the long maturation taking the abv below 40% and therefore no longer Scotch whisky (and a “spirit drink”).

Speyside #3 Batch 1, 8 Year Old - An unnamed Speyside single malt, from a vatting of just seven ex-Bourbon Hogsheads, It wasn't that long ago that an 8 Year Old Single Malt was known as an ‘Extra Old’ whisky.
