Fifth edition of the Causeway Collection for the historic Irish distillery Bushmills, with eight new bottlings between ten and twenty-three years of ageing, continuing in the vein of a series that has always presented whiskeys of very high quality.
Ranging in price from €100 to over €500, this new batch includes a prestigious 23yo in Madeira and three unprecedented maturations: a 10yo in Barolo, a 2010 vintage in Double Moscatel and a 22yo in Mizunara.
After last year’s excellent debut, which was offered in different batches in the following months, the Lewis Island distillery launched the second fixed bottling in its portfolio, The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured which, as its name implies, is matured only in first-fill oloroso sherry casks, always at 46% and without adulteration.
By now, the small London distillery Bimber has accustomed us to a plethora of special series more or less inspired by whatever they can think of, and here comes the second batch of the one dedicated to the great minds of the world, Shoulders of Giants.
Several single casks exclusively for four markets, dedicated to local characters:
UK: Darwin (ex bourbon, 58.3%), Queen Victoria (ex PX sherry, 57.9%) and Churchill (ex oloroso sherry, 58.5%)
Germany: Marlene Dietrich (ex oloroso sherry, 58.1%), Albert Einstein (finished in ex tawny port, 58.3%) and Beethoven (ex bourbon, 58.7%)
Belgium: Adolphe Sax (ex sherry PX, 58.3%)
Poland: Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (ex oloroso sherry, 58.7%)
