Malt Spirits

A genius idea from Glenglassaugh - releasing their different styles of new make spirit - but in affordable small doses. This is the peated new make, which we suspect will be rather popular.

Fledgeling is Glenglassaugh's malt spirit after just a year in ex-bourbon casks - so it's still two years away from being whisky. However, this is a great opportunity to glimpse the evolution of whisky-in-progress in the cask.

The fad for distilleries releasing their new make spirit continues, this time in the form of Buffalo Trace's 'White Dog', the affectionate name given to unaged whiskey. Competitively-priced and attractively packaged, we reckon that Buffalo Trace's extra style credentials could well see this becoming a hit cocktail ingredient.
Please note that this is a 37.5cl bottle

A bottle of the peated new make spirit from England's only distillery, the Norfolk-located St George's. As this is less than 2 months old, it certainly can't be called whisky, but it's an interesting bottle nonetheless. A piece of Sassenach history?

A hefty American single malt spirit aged less than 30 days, Wasmund's is double-distilled at the Copper Fox distillery in Virginia from 100% hand-malted barley in small copper potstills. The malting notes for this are 'Light Smoke. 60% Applewood, 40% Cherrywood'.
