These are not new releases, that's something I rarely do. I think what we have in the line-up for this vPub is something a little more thought provoking, a little more compelling.
The six whiskies lined up for uncorking this week are all on the theme of something more than just new releases, they are the first releases of a completely new whisky, each and every one of them. That is, before these releases, they previously didn't exist.
We have the first release from Harris (optimistically named batch 00003), Billy Walker's new Glenallachie sourced Meikle Tòir; all three of the standard 48% ABV releases of The Sherry, The Chinkapin and The Original. We also have the brand new and very interesting ‘Arrival’ from Holyrood Distillery in Edinburgh alongside the interesting and premiumised-at-birth Ryelaw from Inchdairnie.
This will be an interesting uncorking and first impression session, because I feel like these are more than new releases and new whiskies, I think they could be harbingers of scotch whisky's future.
I hope to welcome you there!
