Overview

More Info

On discovering this marvellous new word, we began a quest to recreate the fragrance using Scotch whisky. Parcels were considered, identified and pursued. The process can be compared to scouring second-hand bookshops for specific volumes. Our search met with success when a distiller and bottler in the north of Scotland offered us casks of whiskies which had been blended together in the past, before being returned to ex-Sherry butts for further maturation. Whiskies, like old books, contain their own stories. We combined these Sherry-matured stocks with bold and mature malt whiskies from the Macallan, Highland Park and Caol Ila distilleries. The aroma is highly evocative for anyone with a fondness for books; the taste evolves and intensifies as any good political thriller or historical romance should. A tribute to the storytelling potential of blended Scotch whisky, and the atmospheres of our favourite book stores.

Tasting notes

Hints of leather, polished furniture and the crackling dustiness of decades-old pages on the nose. The palate is stacked with sumptuous malty notes, tropical fruit and Sherry character, with a delicate but persistent peatiness.

Reviewers on Whiskey Apostle and Flaviar praise Vellichor as a complex, balanced limited edition built from 23-26 year-old Macallan, Highland Park and Caol Ila plus 37-year Caol Ila splash. Leather, old books, sponge cake, dates and gentle peat. A lovely, delicious dram from John Glaser.
