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

We imagined stirring spiced, boozy prunes and rum-soaked raisins into an apricot yoghurt. On the palate we discovered a real dichotomy between sweet cinnamon heat and fierce chilli spice as well as vanilla bean custard with sour cherry sauce. Following dilution, we made raspberry and apricot jam in a farmhouse kitchen while we ate strawberry sumac scones, combining the lovely fruity sweetness with that zestiness from the Middle Eastern spice. The starting point for this small batch was two bourbon hogsheads of single malt Scotch whisky. They were each transferred to new casks at 10 years old. One cask was a first-fill American oak oloroso hogshead, while the other was a first-fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead. The casks were then married together before bottling.
