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
This was clearly a huge whisky, agreed the Panel. Immediately we started getting notes of mineral salts, beach sand, smouldering sandalwood, salt and pepper squid, dense peat smoke and brown sauce on a slab of square sausage. Water brought such things as sea urchin dashed on wet rocks, burning hay, salted butter, pork scratchings drizzled with malt vinegar, and umami ramen broth with a boiled egg. The palate was superbly creamy in texture with a dazzlingly intense peat-smoke profile: we found lots of rich American oak influence, singed coconut, sweet tar liqueur, herbal mouthwash and various ointments and embrocations. With water it became marginally drier with coal smoke, sooty sausages on a barbecue, wet kelp, smoked razor clams, resinous fir wood and antiseptic. At six years of age, we combined two bourbon hogsheads from the same distillery into this cask for further maturation and marrying. This second fill butt was previously used to mature another Two to One bottling, 7.243.
