Wormtub 10 Year Single Malt 56.9%
$76.99
This Speyside Single Malt Scotch was re-racked into first-fill ex-Sherry casks. It was bottled at 10 years old and 56.9% ABV.
What is this? I high strength, 10-year-old single malt that is also heavily sherry influenced AND at a reasonable price? Has the world gone mad?!? Not quite, but the crafty crew at That Boutique-y Whisky Company might have. TBWC cannot say which Speyside distillery this whisky was sourced from, but they do use worm tubs. Hmm... that narrows down the possibilities a bit. Craigellachie or Mortlach are likely the two most famous Speyside distilleries to utilize worm tubs, but they are not alone. Glen Elgin, Cragganmore, Balmenach, Benrinnes, and Speyburn do as well. There might be a few others too.
