Celebration of the Cask Wardhead 1997

This item is archived.

Alright. Hopefully this isn't a case of telling you the tooth fairy isn't real, but at some point we all have to grow up and learn the truth, aye? There is no Wardhead distillery. There are also no Wardhead Single Malts. Any whisky you find with the Wardhead appellation associated will be a) a blended malt and b) 99.999% distillate from a distillery that rhymes with Fengliddich. Yup. Wardhead is nothing more than 'teaspooned' Glenfiddich. In fact, it's almost certainly Glenfiddich with a few drops of Balvenie added, just to prevent the independent bottlers from being able to use the distillery's name itself. For all intents and purposes...you're drinking an independently bottled expression from the biggest selling Single Malt brand in the world. As if the high abv wasn't enough to differentiate this one, it was sourced from a single Hogshead. Only 354 bottles. Unique, of course, but more importantly...delicious.
