The Loch Fyne Living Cask is a sophisticated blended malt whisky that evolves with each batch, with Batch 9 being our focus. Bottled in 2019, this 500ml edition boasts an ABV of 43.6% and is a remarkable creation by Loch Fyne Whiskies. This unique whisky is crafted using the remnants of the previous batch, resulting in an ever-evolving masterpiece. It builds upon the original and award-winning The Living Cask 1745. Batch 9 is an exquisite blend of five Speyside single malt whiskies, each matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. On the nose, it is light, floral, and soft, with enticing notes of green apples and a touch of manuka honey. The palate reveals toasted almonds and sweet vanilla, which gradually gives way to a gentle citrus note. The long and impressive finish is characterized by more soft fruits, vanilla, and honeyed sweetness, accompanied by a subtle drying spice. Subsequent batches have incorporated whiskies from renowned distilleries including Linkwood, Mortlach, and Ben Nevis. The Linkwood and Mortlach expressions have been finished in Muscatel Wine, adding to the complexity. The aroma from these batches includes sweet, complex notes of cinnamon, basil, and lemon, with a long and gentle finish that carries a salty touch of west coast charm. Overall, the Loch Fyne Living Cask is a unique and intriguing blended malt whisky that provides a new experience with each batch, making it a compelling choice for whisky enthusiasts.
