This robust sixth batch of Teaniich from That Boutique-y Whisky Company weighs in at a respectable 59.1% ABV. It is a from a combination of two refill sherry buts that were finished in an ex-Bourbon Barrel. I am not sure how that math works, but regardless! Only 421 bottles were filled, with a small portion coming to Kensington Wine Market.
500 mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Plenty of fruit and toasted oak right off the hop. Notes of lemon-scented furniture polish, wine gums, honeydew melon, strawberry rhubarb pie, macadamia nuts, and plain old Cheerios cereal show as well.
Palate: Wow – great build of candied fruit notes right up front, but with a sour/citrus note to balance it out. Dehydrated apple and banana slices, canned pineapple slices, Juicy Fruit gum, and plenty of grain and cereal notes along with some wood spices are carried along with it all
Finish: Pineapple and even mango along with pears and apples on the fade, plus some drying nutty and wood spice notes.
Comment: If haven’t tasted this side by side with the Boutique-y Teaninich 10-year-old from last year, but I think this 12-year-old is a bit less green and leaning into the lush fruit notes more than last year’s dram. Don’t ask me to pick a favourite though – I love all my children – I mean Boutique-y Teaninich - equally!
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.

Producer Description
"A luscious wee fruit bomb of an Inchmurrin is the latest juice to grace our Decadent Drams series. Distilled in 2012 and matured for over 12 years in a second fill barrel before we bottled it with slight reduction at 57.1%. Pure, grassy, green and full of bright exotic fruit notes - this is highly luscious and fruity whisky, exactly as we love it! Angus had just come back from Japan when he did the label for this one, which is why it is drenched in indigo."

From The Producer
"Built in 1817, Teaninich is a Highland single malt distillery. It’s quite unique-y really, instead of a mash tun, it uses a filter press to extract the sweet sugars from the malt. There is much mystery surrounding the distillery, so we did as all Boutique-y’s do and went to town on the label - see below.
The Label
Based on a true love story from many years ago about Captain Hugh Munro (founder of this distillery). He was shot in the head behind his eyes but, he survived! Unsurprisingly, he lost his eyesight as a result. His sweetheart was forbidden from marrying him due to his condition, so she married someone else. Despite their differing paths, she continued to love him and as her dying wish, visited the church to see him one last time."
