"Get down to a new groove from Decadent Drinks Studios.... Sideburn: Givin' It Both Barrels.

"The chap on the label reminds us a little of the singer from Slade, doesn’t he? Cum on Feel the Noise… I mean the Nose… Colour: light gold. Nose: very emblematic—mirabelles, apples, quince, vanilla, not-too-ripe banana and tiny hints of mint and sorrel. With water: a marvellous ocean of yeasts and beer notes, softened by vanilla. Mouth (neat): beyond the zestiness, there’s a green, almost brutal side that’s a little unusual for Balvenie and calls instantly for water—so here we go Balvenie, Cuz I Luv You... With water: yes, there we are, it feels almost 1970s in style. I’m serious. Yellow fruits, stones, little herbs, Wulong tea, chamomile, quinces… Finish: just the same, and it goes on for quite a while. Comments: not an ultra-demonstrative baby, but this blended malt couldn’t be any closer to the natural house style of its main distillery (that’s right, that’s right...) SGP:551 - 89 points."

The latest 25 year old offering from the venerable Balvenie Distillery also comes with a brand new, slightly higher price. Though not too high, at least. This quarter century single malt has been carefully put together by the legendary David Stewart. Bottled at 48%.
Producer Description
"To craft The Balvenie Twenty-Five, David carefully chose some of The Balvenie’s rarest Traditional American and European Oak casks to create the special tasting profiles designed for the range. These single malt whiskies had matured for twenty-five years and were handpicked to complete the layers of flavor envisioned. The two casks were then married together in the brand’s Traditional Oak Tuns for just the right amount of time to become one sophisticatedly simplistic expression."

From Decadent Drinks, This 21 Year Old bottling of Glen Garioch is no batch of casks; it is from one single 1st fill Hogshead filled in 2003. Bottled at 55%.
Producer Description
"Here is a single, 1st fill hogshead of 2003, 21 year old Glen Garioch Highland Single Malt which we’ve bottled at natural cask strength. It’s a luscious, tropically fruity and waxy example that seems to muddled together old school and modern profiles simultaneously. Like a liquid manifestation of cognitive dissonance!"

Chapter 12 of Whiskyland by Decadent Drams is a 1992 vintage 33 year old Tormore bottled at 53.7% from a Refill Barrel. 89pts Whiskybase & 90pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"Meet Jimmy Barleycorn - one of the many characters that inhabit Whiskyland. He only shows his fizzog when whiskies of great age with extraordinarily pure raw ingredient characteristics emerge. So, in other words, catching sight of Jimmy Barleycorn is a rare occurrence. Thankfully, he's cutting about with glee for Whiskyland Chapter 12: a single refill barrel of 1992 Tormore, matured for 33 years and bottled at natural cask strength. As Jimmy Barleycorn's presence denotes, this is pure, raw, vivid old malt whisky, that reeks of raw malted barley, yeast and time. A pale, powerful, bright and waxy old dram for those, like Jimmy, who like their whiskies raw, natural and naked!"

52.8% - 1991 Refill Hogshead & 2002 Second Fill Barrel
Producer Description
"This Decadent Drams bottling takes two refill casks of Miltonduff, born more than a decade apart, and blends them into something far greater than the sum of their parts. One brings robust cereal spice and nutty heft, the other delivers honeyed fruit and floral finesse. Together, they create a beautifully mature dram with a waxy richness that feels like it’s folding time in on itself. The kind of whisky that defies both reality and entropy and will be found lurking at the end of existence, orbiting a black hole. Unless, of course, you scoff it all first..."
