WHY THE NAME - RUMOURS?
We name all of our releases. The name is chosen specially to suit the individual cask. The age, taste, character, rarity and strength all contributing. Sometimes they name themselves. Single cask whisky of an un-named distillery always creates excitement and chatter. Many whisky lovers love the mystique of a mystery distillery and the challenge of working it out. So here is Rumours- Chapter 1, and the gauntlet is thrown down.
A rich and heady Islay, beautifully aged with fragrant peat smoke, stone fruit and a complete lack of medicinality.
WHICH DISTILLERY?
Alas, we cannot say but that it is one of the Islay 10. Feel free to guess, ask us on social media, email us, call us, send a carrier pigeon or light the Beacons of Gondor. You will receive no answer. We shall remain stoney silent and neither confirm nor deny any guess. A rumour it shall remain- second hand news, if you will.
This pre-order release will be ready for shipping in May of 2021 and is strictly limited to just 3 bottles per customer.
