The second from final release in the Whisky Sponge range is a multi-vintage Glen Moray, marrying a 1990 refill hogshead with a 1992 2nd fill sherry hogshead, bottled at 32 years and a cask strength of 51.8%. 89.83pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is Whisky Sponge Edition No.99: the Penultimate Sponge! Like Edition No.1, it’s a sexy old Glen Moray. However, for this one, we did some well-honed Decadent Drinks cask mixology and muddled together a refill hogshead of 1990 Glen Moray with a 2nd fill sherry hogshead of 1991 Glen Moray. We left that brew to stew inside the sherry hoggie for several months, then bottled the mix at natural cask strength. It’s fruity, opulent, decadent and tastes like the set furniture from 2001 Space Odyssey draped with all the cardigans in rural Englandshire. Please enjoy this whisky while trawling this website and reading every single rear label on every single bottling we ever did. The first person to spot the cheekily concealed secret to quantum fusion technology contained within will win a t-shirt and a bespoke insult from the Sponge."
700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: vividly fruity, waxy and beautifully mature. Lots of polished hardwood notes, soft spices, fruit cakes, crystalised green and exotic fruits, jams and then also beers, more waxes and slightly honeyed, dessert wine notes.
Palate: richly fruity once again, lots of dark fruits, quince, more waxes, hessian, cedar wood and resinous hardwood notes. Beyond that some herbal teas and delicate floral aspects. Wonderful complexity and detail.
Finish: long, resinous, waxy, fruity and warming with soft spices, flowers and citrus peel.

This 1993 vintage Glen Grant is the 3rd release in the Whiskyland series, bottled after 31 years in a Refill Barrel at 52.7%. 89.29pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is a single refill barrel of Glen Grant 1993, aged for 31 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 52.7%. Whiskyland is a much-varied world, its landscapes carpeted and patchworked by city metropolis, cave networks, seemingly endless scorches of desert and many shades of forest and jungle.
"Perhaps the most dense and complex of these rich ecosystems are the Dunnage Jungles of Northern Whiskyland. Beneath the impenetrable Excel Spreadsheet Canopy there exists a intricate network of creatures and plant life; the beating heart of Whiskyland and a place that still reveals to us mysteries both beautiful and terrifying...
"Despite many years of research, we still know relatively little about this magical world. Please enjoy this beautiful old refill matured Glen Grant and sip it thoughtfully as you delve into the Dunnage Jungles of Whiskyland..."
