A Quarter Past | Limited Release | 70cl
Limited Collection
A QUARTER PASSED is an expression that honours patience and the passing of time in whisky making. It is a rare and exclusive limited edition blended Scotch malt whisky with an eloquently rich character.
Head of production Isabella Wemyss has exclusively sourced this blend from single malts which have matured in ex-bourbon barrels where the spirit has gently married with the oak for 25 years.
That quarter-century has now passed, the years allowing exceptional flavours to develop. Bottled at a generous cask strength of 55% ABV, this is a luxuriously sweet vanilla-rich dram, with hints of soft coconut, toffee and lingering spice.
