The blend to end all blends? Collectivum XXVIII is a masterful blend of single malts from all 28 operational distilleries currently owned by Diageo - hence 'XXVIII' in the name, which represents 28 in Roman numerals. Bottled in 2017 at a robust 57.3% ABV, this unique whisky boasts an impressive complexity. From the rich, tropical aromas of apples, pears, peaches, pineapple, and blueberries to the deep notes of chocolate, citrus zest, and a hint of smoke, this whisky is a well-balanced homage to the greatness of Scotch whisky distilleries. With a creamy mouthfeel and a symphony of flavors including ginger, white pepper, walnuts, and cedarwood, Collectivum XXVIII offers a delightful and intricate taste experience. The finish is long, elegantly bitter, and waxy with a feisty lemon zest and a truckload of liquorice. This bottle is a testament to Diageo's blending craft, marrying the distinct characteristics of its distilleries into a harmonious whole.
