WHISKY WANDERERS – Adventures Off the Beaten Track 2025
For the 2025 Whisky Festival, we launched 35 one-of-a-kind single casks and 1 global batch release representing the 5 regions. These releases emphasize our commitment to innovative, adventurous, and unconventional whiskies. While other distilleries can create unique liquid from their specific region, we possess a unique advantage – the ability to showcase the full range of Scotland’s distilleries. In 2025 we celebrated ‘the path less trodden’ by highlighting liquids you wouldn’t normally expect from certain distilleries or regions.
Spirit Notes
There was plenty going on here with aromas of blackberry citrus cranberry jam, cloves, tobacco and high cocoa-content chocolate next to wood glue and staves dipped in maple syrup. On the palate we took a large bite of a cherry cola cupcake and washed it down with an old fashioned cocktail garnished with orange zest and two cocktail cherries. After reduction we stewed rhubarb in red wine, found oak shavings in our wild cherry fruit tea and had a slice of blackcurrant, lime and coconut cheesecake. This was mouthcoating like a mango lassi with yoghurt, cardamom, lime and honey – very invigorating and so refreshing!
