Glenmorangie does give this bottle to us at a preferable strength of 46%, higher than most of their core range.

They kept this under wraps while it aged for 7 years, before the first release came in 2023.

There's no age statement, but we do get this at a preferential strength of 49% ABV (98 proof).

It's an unusual cask from the distillery, as it sees no sherry maturation or finishing.

This product used to carry an age statement of 8 years, which was roughly double the maturation time that the White Label gets; now, it's not age stated.

Battlehill is a brand produced by independent bottler Duncan Taylor - one of many, in fact.

Green Spot isn't age stated, but the brand discloses that the whisky in the bottle is aged between 7 and 10 years before it is blended together.

Another one of the vast array of cask finish releases that Glenmorangie puts out.

Instead of the usual single cask releases that we usually get from the Society, this is a small batch release.

It utilizes Buffalo Trace's wheated mashbill -a distinction shared with the rest of the Weller line, William Larue Weller, and the Van Winkle bourbons.

This distillery is one of the original 'Classic Malts of Scotland,' representing the Lowland region.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottled this single cask at 12 years old, and it's still at a whopping strength of 64.4% ABV.

Available everywhere, and we can generally find it for quite a reasonable price, as well.

There's quite a bit going on with this mashbill and cask regimen - will the end result be cohesive?

The Glenmorangie distillery produces a huge range of whiskies, with just about every age statement and cask finish imaginable.

Finally, an age-stated Old Forester bourbon that isn't a unicorn, although it is still a somewhat limited release - they plan to drop more annually.

Amrut has matured this 'Two Continents' release on - you guessed it - two different continents.

We get the benefits of some natural bottling characteristics: no chill filtration, and a strength of 46% ABV.

Full 12 year maturations are completed separately in the ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and ex-Malaga casks, before it's blended back together for the final product.

It's aged primarily in ex-bourbon barrels, but the spirit is also finished in ex-Oloroso butts from Jerez, Spain.
