This Blended Spirit can't be called whisky because it has fallen below the legal threshold of whisky (40%). Bottled at 35% only 140 bottles have been released of something that would have cost 8-10 times the price had it only kept its head above water...
Producer Description
"Like its younger cousins in this range, the inspiration for this label came from a classic blended Scotch whisky of yesteryear (Ainslie’s “Old Liqueur Whisky”). This time our youngest team member inspires the (ironic) name, and our cask buyer (and bonsai plant collector) Felix get immortalised as well. Having fallen below 40% abv in cask, we can no longer call this whisky, but that makes it no less delicious! "
About the Label
"All those wonderful words; “Vintage” “Specially Selected” and my favourite “Too Late”, in this case referring to the long maturation taking the abv below 40% and therefore no longer Scotch whisky (and a “spirit drink”)."

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.
