The Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, known as "SRV5 Extra Special 2022 Glass Shortage Edition," is a distinctive and characterful whisky from the esteemed Dornoch Distillery, founded by brothers Phil and Simon Thompson in 2016. This exceptional blend combines carefully selected single malts from North Highland, Islay, and Speyside, creating a unique whisky experience. Aged for over 8 years and bottled at a robust 48.5% ABV, this 700ml offering showcases the distillery's commitment to quality and innovation. The blend is crafted using a solera vat process, where a 1200-liter European oak vessel is never fully emptied, ensuring each batch contains some whisky from earlier releases. This method imparts a rich complexity and continuity of flavors, making it a versatile daily dram suitable for sipping or mixing in cocktails. The toasted oak vat used in the process adds depth and character to the whisky, enhancing its robust profile. The palate of this whisky reveals a fruity core with flavors of pears, melons, bright grapefruits, and lemon peels, complemented by a hint of coastal peat smoke. The finish is marked by mineral notes, green peppercorns, and a grassy undertone, providing a well-rounded and satisfying tasting experience. The whisky's strong Highlands profile and healthy strength make it a standout in the world of blended malts. The Dornoch Distillery, known for its adaptive approach to whisky production, combines traditional methods with modern science, often drawing on Herriot Watt-gained knowledge. This blend, with its complex fructose sweetness and subtle notes of melon and pears, is a testament to the distillery's innovative spirit and dedication to crafting exceptional whiskies.
