White Heather – 21 Years Old Blend af Billy Walker

White Heather – 21 Years Old Blend – 48% – af Billy Walker

For omkring 50 år siden startede Billy Walker sin karriere i whiskyindustrien, og han arbejdede i en lang årrække med at skabe nogle af industriens mest unikke blends. Nu er han tilbage ved rødderne med denne helt enestående blend, der er en komposition af maltwhisky fra forskellige skotske destillerier (herunder naturligvis GlenAllachie) samt en lille andel gammel grainwhisky. Billy’s endelige sammensætning af de forskellige whiskyer, har efterfølgende modnet i hele tre år i en kombination af Oloroso/PX Puncheons samt Virgin Oak casks.

Der er kun kommet 80 flasker til Danmark, så det er med at være hurtig!

Commenting on the landmark release, Walker said: “This whisky is particularly close to my heart. Creating this blend took me back almost 50 years to when I started my career at Hiram Walker. It was there I started to learn the art of blending and the specialist skills required to select whiskies that when interfaced with each other ultimately amplified the overall flavour experience.

“With White Heather, I poured everything I’ve learned on my whisky journey into crafting a truly memorable small batch aged blend that sits proudly alongside even the very best single malts. I wanted to honour the original blend whilst recreating it in a much more premium form with exceptional wood.  It’s a fine balance bringing together the character of such different whiskies and cask types, but I’m incredibly proud to now unveil the end result.”
