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 starting point for this small batch was two bourbon hogsheads of single malt Scotch whisky. After 13 years one was transferred into a first-fill American oak oloroso hogshead, while the other went into a new American oak hogshead with a heavy toast and a medium char. These casks were then married together for bottling. The result produced heady aromas of snuff and sailing ship-branded aftershave in country houses, clove-studded ham, liquorice-flavoured lozenges and gorse; plus some added zing, which involved potpourri, bergamot and magnolia, vanilla syrup and crisp riesling. The mouthcoating, beautifully textured palate tasted of chocolate sauce on ice cream, desiccated coconut, caramel-flavoured chocolate, Spanish brandy and multiple tropical fruits.
