""With projects like this, it's very rare to have complete creative freedom over what we're doing. What myself and my team have been allowed to do is just create a collection that works well as a whole and sits well, and talks about different diverse flavours and different approaches to whisky making.""
"The whisky defies its age statement, and is light and sweet, with a subtle dryness and a hit of spice. At 62.4 percent ABV, it is no wallflower and a drop or two of water is highly recommended."
"This release doesn't come alone though, and arrives on the market as part of Diageo's new Rare Series, simply described as a 'prestigious, evolving collection' of 'singular character and distinctive qualities,' each picked to represent the style of a different part of Scotland."
Diageo has launched its oldest single malt, a 55-year-old Scotch from the now-demolished Glenury Royal distillery. This rare whisky, from the last remaining American oak hogsheads, is light, sweet, and spicy, with an ABV of 62.4 percent. The release is part of Diageo's Rare Series, which features a collection of whiskies representing different regions of Scotland. Other notable releases include a 33-year-old Talisker, a 34-year-old Blair Athol, and a 42-year-old Cao Ila, each with distinct flavor profiles and limited bottle availability.
