Product Description
This bottle is exclusive to The Creators Collection: Whispers of Spring.
Cask No. 105.55: Crepuscular complexity is by far the rarest bottling Whispers of Spring has to offer. With only 122 bottles to come from this refill bourbon hogshead, the Sweet, Fruity & Mellow dram truly is one to savour. This whisky’s contribution to the collection is one of depth and complexity, with rich, warming notes of heather, honey and a subtle smokiness. After 35 years in cask, this spirit has drastically fallen to just 46.2% abv, making for remarkably smooth drinking. With a beautiful label to match, we found this spirit represents the lingering light of dusk, when the day transitions to night, and the promise of renewal is reflected in the sky’s colours.

Unmistakable age elevated the nose – old riesling, calvados, and peaches and cream in a cricket pavilion; amarena cherry ice cream, green apple shisha tobacco, vanilla fudge and caramel-flavoured chocolate. The palate was delicate but stimulating – candied lemon peel and spiced oranges in syrup, tinned pears, rhubarb rock and apricot flan – before a warm, dry finish of liquorice, nasturtium flowers, leather and wood. The reduced nose combined blueberry muffins and clover honey with flower meadows and oiled oak. A slightly astringent lift arrived on the reduced palate, delivering cranberry cereal bars, balsamic, fennel and grapefruit, but remaining summery, sweet, gently spiced and deserving respect.
