A Speyside Scotch finished in Kanosuke Japanese whisky and Pinot Noir casks. On the nose, there’s a very elegant tropical style fruitiness that adds contrast to the cured meat, clove, red chilli earthiness, and black pepper present. The palate expresses notes of pear drops, toffee pudding, orange peel, marzipan, and plenty of soy sauce-style umami flavours. The finish is rich and full-bodied, with honey and pepper. Diageo has revealed the details of this year’s Special Releases collection, its annual limited-edition lineup of eight cask-strength collectible scotch whiskies. Released under the name Spirited Xchange, this year’s Special Release's expressions were curated for the first time by master blender Dr. Stuart Morrison. One key highlight is a 12 year old single malt from Roseisle—it’s the first-ever bottling from this large distillery built along the Moray coastline (Speyside) back in 2010 to supply malt whisky for Diageo’s blends. There’s also a non-age stated Mortlach finished in whisky casks from Kanosuke Distillery in Japan. The oldest bottling in this year’s collection is a 27 year old from Lowland distillery Glenkinchie, marking its first Special Releases appearance since 2016. The Singleton of Glendullan is included for the first time since 2021, but all the others in the collection—Mortlach, Clynelish, Talisker, Lagavulin, and Oban—were also featured in 2022. Each label is illustrated by a different artist, all of them aiming to create a visualization of the whisky’s tasting notes.
