The Inchmurrin 12 YO is aged predominantly in bourbon casks and is light, grassy, and floral. It was a big hit at The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show 2015. The enchanting isle of Inchmurrin is the largest of Loch Lomond's islands and was once home to a chapel built by Christian monks in the 7th century. Known as the 'grassy isle' this single malt scotch whisky is soft, rounded and wonderfully wooded. It is aged in three types of cask selected by hand - bourbon, refill and re-charred. These whiskies are then brought together delivering a perfectly balanced single malt.
Scapa Skiren is a 2015 release from the Orkney distillery. Aged in first-fill American oak casks, this is creamy and sweet with notes of tropical fruit and heather. Within reach of the Arctic Circle, Scapa is part of the Orkney Isles. The Scapa distillery is perched on the tranquil shores of Scapa Flow. Inspired by summer's bright, glittering skies, described in Old Norse as skiren, this expression is exclusively matured in first-fill American oak casks, which produces a smooth creamy sweetness with that hint of tropical fruit, citrus and coastal heather.
Whether or not these bottles remain unopened for a further 30 days is however another matter....
