The Authors' Series, crafted by Hunter Laing, is a prestigious collection of single malts, each paying homage to renowned authors. This particular release honors Washington Irving, a writer of Scottish and American descent known for his diverse literary contributions. Distilled at the Isle of Jura Distillery in February 1992, this limited-edition single malt spent 25 years maturing in refill hogshead #HL14223 before being bottled in October 2017 at a robust 51.7% ABV. With just 248 bottles produced, it is the 16th release in this highly exclusive series by Edition Spirits.
Each bottling in the Authors' Series is paired with an author's work and adorned with a photo or illustration on the front label, along with a passage describing their story on the back. The dekanter-like bottles are wax-sealed and elegantly presented in a hinged gift box. Andrew Laing meticulously selects the particularly rich and complex casks from various distilleries across Scotland for this series.
