A slightly belated announcement regarding the release of our 5th batch of Infrequent Flyers, which was actually bottled October 2020 and released around Nov / Dec last year. Humble apologies folks, we just didn’t get around to dropping the story on the website at the time. At this stage it may be tricky to find most of these still available in the UK and Europe, however stock may well just have landed further afield – specifically Taiwan, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In the interests of completeness, however, we are putting the news on the site today regardless.
The line-up consists of the following 5 casks, all Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, release numbers 29 through 33:
- Bowmore 1997 cask # 2692 / 23YO / Virgin Oak Finish
- Undisclosed Orkney 1999 cask # 5743 / 21YO / PX Sherry Finish
- Linkwood 2006 cask # 6144 / 14YO / Virgin Oak Finish
- Braeval 2009 cask # 27768 / 11YO / Classic
- Glentauchers 2009 cask # 6254 / 11YO / Ruby Port Finish
This batch features our 2nd Bowmore bottling, aswell as Infrequent Flyers debuts for both Braeval and Glentauchers, and welcome returns for Linkwood and our Undisclosed Orkney. A few highlights from the official tasting notes:
Bowmore 1997
‘That unmistakable sweet cigar smoke aroma of Bowmore – peat, iodine, marzipan and floral notes.’
Undisclosed Orkney 1999
‘Dark chocolate, treacle toffee and cinnamon rolls… a velvety and indulgent dram.’
Linkwood 2006
‘Creamy and full-bodied. Toasted marshmallows and crème caramel.’
Braeval 2009
‘A real bakery store vibe… toffee, vanilla cheesecake and custard.’
Glentauchers 2009
‘Incredibly vibrant and fruity… Nectarines, apricots and plums.’
Available through our regular UK stockists, and in the following export markets – Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and Australia. For more details contact info@alistairwalkerwhisky.com
