For Whisky Sponge Edition No.80 we have (finally!) sourced and selected a cask of one of the most desirable and cult distillates on Planet Earth - the Glen Spey!
Indeed, this is almost certainly the greatest Glen Spey you will (n)ever taste. A single refill hogshead of 1989 Glen Spey bottled at 32 years of age after a remarkable maturation that saw it reach a natural cask strength of 65%! This was ridiculous, and as such we reduced it to a more sippable 60%. This opened up all that remarkable concentration and power and honeyed, fruity magnificence of this bonkers Glen Spey. The profile is really closer to an early 1970s style Speyside malt in that sense. Essentially, this is a 'Scottish hot climate' matured Glen Spey - or as close as Scotchland gets to hot climate anyway - that's why there are only 114 bottles of this juice!
This is why we decided to select this totally left-field and delicious cask for the celebratory milestone that is Whisky Sponge Edition 80. It is also the next in this year's occasional series of 'Sponge Selfies', where labels across all our Sponge bottlings will feature self portraits of the Sponge in a variety of artistic styles. Why not gather, hoard and quaff them all?!
Furthermore, Edition 80 fires the starting gun well and truly on the countdown to Whisky Sponge Edition No.100 - after which time there shall be no other Sponge editions.
That is all. Ends.
