Royal Lochnagar Single Malt Whisky 16 Years Special Release 2021 0.7L 57.5% Legends Untold experience series With this special series, Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson has managed to select and refine each hand-picked single malt so appropriately that you really feel like you can sense the spirit of the respective distillery legend in every bottling. In addition to the artfully designed bottle and packaging designs by illustrator Ken Taylor, which perfectly embodies each individual creature, another special feature has been thought up with the packaging: There is a QR code on each package. If you scan this, the legends are 'unlocked', so to speak, and a multisensory experience begins! This is followed by the telling of the story of the single malts and a mixed reality tasting. Royal Lochnagar 16 years There is also a special legend for Royal Lochnagar. The lands of Royal Deeside are said to have been covered in thick, cold fog for decades. One day a proud, white stallion rode up and broke through this eternal, icy veil. To this day, his rapid gallop is said to drive the stills of Royal Lochnagar and give each single malt its sparkling, fresh, almost spring-like character. This is also reflected in the 16-year-old bottling: On the nose, fine fruity aromas such as orange peel and green apple, fine pastry notes seduce the senses. On the palate, a very soft texture, light sweetness with barley notes, fruit bouquet and a hint of oak give the whisky a certain lightness. The finish reflects the spring-like character of the distillery: warming, as if the first rays of sunshine were streaming through you after an icy winter, light spices and oak notes are reminiscent of the last warming fires.

Oban Single Malt Whisky 12 Years Special Release 2021 0.7L 56.2% Legends Untold-Diageo Special Release 2021 Diageo's new special series is a tribute to the mysterious fairy-tale worlds of Scottish history. According to various legends, mythical creatures have always protected the sometimes very remote distilleries. Each distillery has its very own creatures, after which the 2021 bottlings were created and with which they were brought to life, so to speak. Not only through taste but also through the images of the well-known illustrator Ken Taylor, the mythical creatures are brought back to life through different interpretations. The Legends Untold series apparently contains some of the most valuable reserves still maturing in Scotland The legend of the Oban distillery First of all, you have to know where exactly the distillery is located. It is located exactly between the Highlands and the Isles. According to legend, twin foxes were born here in light and darkness. The foxes balance each other out, so to speak, they are the Scottish yin and yang. The Oban 12 years in the Legends Untold series has taken this to heart and created a fine harmony between the Highland notes and those of the Isles.

Mortlach 13 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Special Release 2021 0.7L 55.9% Diageo Special Release 2021 With the special series, the company wants to set a foot in a different direction today. The special release has ushered in a time of 'change' in which the company wants to show that the range of taste expression is being expanded more and more clearly. In doing so, the company not only relies on special finishes, but also takes this path directly in the production of the whiskies. The 2021 release shows that it is easy to reinterpret the taste profiles of classic distilleries. Not losing the actual character, emphasizing certain nuances but also providing surprises was a challenge, but one that was once again implemented perfectly. Mortlach 13 Years Release So what gives Mortlach whiskies their special character? Legend has it that it is the mighty call of the wolf that echoes through the halls of the distillery at nightfall in the light of the full moon, giving each whisky its extraordinary, almost magical character. The 13-year-old Mortlach from the Speyside distillery Dufftown was finished in new and re-filled American oak barrels. It initially appears very mild on the nose, with subtle wood notes and a hint of sweet and sour red currants. This is followed by an unexpected wave of swampy notes of heather and herbs, reminiscent of the wolf's habitat. On the palate, the Mortlach 13 Years is very full-bodied and at the same time has a very soft mouthfeel. In addition to the aromas already present, you can now also detect vanilla, clear oak notes and a certain spiciness or sharpness. The finish is surprisingly long-lasting and all the aromas mentioned above make a reappearance here.

The series contains eight whiskies from seven distilleries, each from four different whisky regions in Scotland.

Each whisky has undergone a unique maturation process and is inspired by the respective mythical creatures that, according to legend, can be found in the respective whisky regions and around the distilleries themselves. Special Release Cardhu The bottling of the Cardhu distillery represents the mystical world of Scottish legends and myths that exist around the distillery. The label of the Cardhu bottling already gives a small insight into this world with its distinctive, colorful and mystical nature. The bright red tree shown is reminiscent of Scarlet Blooms Of Black Rock: a mysterious, bright red tree grew out of a hill of black rock. It was enveloped in a fine honey scent mixed with beguiling spice notes. When the tree lost its leaves and died, a distillery was created. These aromas of this legend have now been captured in the Legends Untold Cardhu! Behind the 2021 Reales is a 14-year-old Cardhu, which is characterized by gentle aromas. The texture is irresistibly soft, followed by a sweet taste reminiscent of toffee. Floral notes with a pleasant honey sweetness round off the taste.
