DIAGEO 2022 SPECIAL RELEASES FULL SET
This year’s Special Releases Scotch Whisky Collection, “Elusive Expressions,” showcases eight exceptional whiskies, each carefully chosen to bring Scotland’s essence into every enthusiast’s home.
Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson selected these expressions from Scotland’s oldest distilleries. Therefore, the collection includes:
Mortlach: A dark, sweet, and rich whisky with a gingery depth, unique to Speyside’s Dufftown distillery.
The Singleton of Glen Ord: A lively and sweet whisky, aged in refill American and European Oak, then double matured in wine-seasoned casks.
Lagavulin: A true representation of this iconic whisky, matured in a mix of virgin oak casks and the smokiest reserves.
Talisker 11-Year-Old: Classic with elemental maritime malty smokiness.
Clynelish: An unusual expression with slight waxiness, enhanced by sweetness and spiciness from refill American Oak, and finished in PX/Oloroso seasoned casks.
Cardhu: A rare whisky, finished in Jamaican Rum casks, offering vibrant tropical sweetness.
Oban 10-Year-Old: Creamy and smooth with richly sweet fruitiness, light smoke, and salt notes.
Cameronbridge 26-Year-Old: Rich and exquisite, making its debut in the Special Releases.
Thus, “Elusive Expressions” redefines cask-strength whiskies, offering a range of flavours from richly abundant to strikingly rare. Each whisky breathes new energy into Scotland’s whisky heritage.
Furthermore, Dr. Craig Wilson, with access to over 10 million casks from more than 30 distilleries, meticulously crafted this collection.
In addition, the Special Releases feature artwork by Ken Taylor and digital visualisation by Kevin Tong, blending mythical elements with striking visuals.
Moreover, an illustrated cocktails and serves book accompanies the collection, providing creative ways to enjoy these whiskies at home.
