Bottled at the perilously low ABV of 40.1%, this 32 year old Blended Scotch whisky by That Boutique-y Whisky Company has a cute little highland coo on the label.
Producer Description
"Married from a bundle of casks of no less than 32 years of age, this indulgent whisky is full of characteristics only achievable after decades in oak: nuts, chocolate and gentle wood spice, all a gluggable 40.1% abv. Hopefully the first of many batches of this recipe."
About the Label
"Taking visual cues from great old blended Scotch brands, in this case St. Leger, TBWC’s St. Thomas references three of our team members on a single label (Liz, Phoebe and Dave) including a whisky industry first “...& Daughters”. The inspiration for this label came from classic Scotch labels of yesteryear. All those wonderful words; “Extra” “Special” and “Finest Oak Casks”, as well as an Emily Chappell-illustrated Highland Cow."

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: freshly picked grapefruit, apricots, and sour plum; French crepes with powdered sugar and lemon juice; Flint Stone vitamins, Rockets, and Wine Gums; candied nuts and caramel sauce.
Palate: thick, doughy, and musty; this has an air of age to it, old grain, and old malt; more French crepes with powdered sugar and lemon juice; Mexican donuts and Guide's Mint icecream; the juicy fruits come later: melons, orange, apricot and peaches; more candied nuts and caramel sauce.
Finish: thick, creamy, and tasty with warming spices and bags of fruit; long, rich, and elegant.
Comment: this whisky is so thick and rich it is hard to believe that it was bottled at the perilously low strength of 40.1%; a beautiful dram, with a fun and whimsical label; I dare you to resist this "Extra Special" bottle adorned with a Highland Coo, matured in Dave "Worthington's Finest Oak Casks"!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Malty, fudgy, and delightfully inviting with no nose prickle and plenty of character.
Palate: Luscious oak, mint chocolate and lasting finish of maturity and depth.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.

"Master blender Stephanie Macleod’s innovative blend was inspired by Dewar’s famous double aging process. She separately blended parcels of aged malt and grain whisky, left each to marry, then blended them together to marry again, before finishing in oloroso sherry casks. A tantalizing nose of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, crystalized orange slice, fresh plum, black cherry, and moist coffee grounds. Smooth flavors of chocolate-dipped raspberries, gingersnaps, and bold sherry fruit yield to a finish of smoke and spice. By releasing in novel half-bottles, Dewar’s spreads the love, enabling us to experience a 21 year old scotch for just 50 bucks. —Jonny McCormick"

About the Label
"The Blair Athol distillery resides happily in the highlands, producing whisky for a number of blended whiskies, one of the most notable being Bell’s.The label sees a chap with a beard and glasses trimming the distillery's famous flora into some appropriate shapes. No, not otters - bells!"

The middle child in the Dewar's Double Aged collection, this 27-year-old is maybe the sleeper in the range: its older sibling gets a lot of attention for the higher age statement, and it's younger sibling garners love for price point. The 27-year-old is where you should really be looking for quality/price ratio. This whisky is a banger!
Dewar's has told us that this has "been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks." This time, however, those finishing vessels were ex-Palo Cortado!

Distilled in 1994, this 23 year old undisclosed Speyside single malt is possibly from Glenlivet, finished in First Fill Ex-Bourbon before bottling at 45.7%.
Producer Note
"A cracking 23 Year Old Single Malt from an undisclosed Speyside distillery that allegedly started it all! For the USA Series, we’ve finished this mature malt in a first-fill ex-Bourbon barrel from our favourite wax-dipped Kentucky bourbon distillery."
About The Label
"This label is based on the beginning of a Manga-inspired story featuring Dave Worthington as a ‘Wild West of Scotland’ a whisky warrior. This will be the first story of the series of labels of his detailed adventures. Beginning with this one the bestowing of his powers by the Whisky Gods. The setting is dark with just a few single spot lights on Dave to give light around him. There are heads carved within the stone surrounding him, as he is in a chamber. To the left hand side in the foreground is a cloaked women with her hood down. Her head is raised, mouth open and arm raised aloft, clutching Banjolnir, a Banjo, the mystical instrument of the Whisky Gods which is fizzing with light energy. In the centre Dave is kneeled with his head bowed but in respect, not fear, mindful of the awesome responsibility being given to him. He is dressed in jeans, a shirt and waistcoat, with a single leather, Bandolero strap across his chest - with, instead of bullets, a range of different pipes as well as a couple of harmonicas in it. His beard should have some real quality to it - it is quite likely that his beard may turn out to be where his power is held as the story evolves.""
