The Whiskey Lab - 12 Years Whispering Waters Teaninich Single Malt Scotch Whisky
This special release from The Whiskey Lab showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Teaninich Distillery, a jewel in Diageo's crown, primarily utilized for their signature blends. Rarely released as a single malt outside Scotland, this Scotch presents a unique opportunity for American whisky enthusiasts to explore its distinct character.
Extended Fermentation: Teaninich’s fermentation process lasts a minimum of 75 hours, far exceeding the typical duration, enhancing complexity and flavor depth.
Innovative Milling Technology: Utilizes Scotland's only hammer mill that produces an ultra-clear wort without the need for a traditional mash tun.
These result in a distillate with notable floral and Japanese grass notes without any hints of acidity.
Ex-Bodega Sherry Barrique: Matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks sourced from a prestigious bodega in Spain, not the commonly used casks seasoned with low-quality sherry.
Premium Sherry Legacy: The cask previously held high-quality sherry, a rarity post-1980s when most sherry casks began to be crafted specifically for the Scotch industry, often compromising sherry quality for volume.
This Teaninich release, matured in a cask that once enhanced the finest sherry, marries the distillery’s innovative spirit production techniques with the rich heritage of Spanish winemaking, delivering a Scotch whisky of unparalleled depth and intrigue.
