Product Description
Ready to embrace your taste for adventure? That’s what the Society is all about – and now our Whisky Team has created a series of Two to One ultra small-batch bottlings to take members on flavour journeys they won’t find anywhere else. These cask strength offerings are bottled in our traditional green bottles and follow the usual Society bottle code format.
Two to One is the combination of two casks of single malt from the same distillery that are married before bottling. Each one of the Two to One bottlings demonstrates the Whisky Team’s skills in experimentation, flavour creation and innovation, with the whisky in each bottle coming from a different maturation journey through a range of cask types to create something unique and delicious.
Tasting Notes
The medley of aromas ranged from dry farmhouse cider to fenugreek and samphire, to finally beef cranberry gravy and waxed jackets. On the palate we found burnt orange oil, heather smoke and wood char while in the background was always that fruity element coming from a berry compote. After careful dilution the scent of candied orange peel, cinder toffee and blowtorched custard appeared, while to taste this was waxy and chalky, like quince paste on pumpernickel bread. The starting point for this small batch was two bourbon hogsheads of single malt Scotch whisky. Each was then transferred to new casks at eight years old. One cask was a first-fill American oak PX hogshead, while the other was a new American oak hogshead with a heavy toast and a medium char. The casks were then married together before bottling.
