Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Release 30

This item is archived.

A mariage of whiskies distilled in 2011 and 2012, including both lightly and heavily peated mashes, as well as a blend of two sour mashed from 2011. This is an exciting release from Two Brewers as it is a bonafide 10 year old, with 1/3 of the whisky 10 years old and the rest even older.

Producer Blending Notes

"Most of this whisky is from a 100% peated mash from 2011 (43%) plus a 25% peated mash from 2012 (35%). The last 12% of the release comes from a blend of two sour mashes, both from 2011. The intention here was to use the sour mash and the tang and depth that those mashes bring to compliment the phenolic notes of the peated mash. The two sour mashes used are very distinct and are usually used sparingly in our blending to build a bit of complexity but to not overwhelm. That character was turned way up in Release 22 back in 2020 and is presented a bit more prominently again here, but this time alongside a strong and complex smokiness."

Producer Barreling Info

"The 100% peated whisky was held in the same first fill bourbon barrels for almost 10 years to the day. The 25% peated rested in fresh bourbon barrels for about 2.5 years before being moved to some ISC classic char #2 barrels that we had previously used for about 12 months to house a different peated mash. All of that relatively fresh oak in those two peated mashes results in a depth of oak flavour that counterbalances the higher tones of the peated malt (and the tang of the sour components). The two sour mash components both came from first fill bourbon barrels that sat untouched from 2011 through to the very last days of 2021."
