There is no better way to welcome the arrival of summer than with a fine dram in hand. The Whisky Exchange is delighted to announce the launch of The Seasons: Summer, a collection of three single malt whiskies and latest addition to the award-winning retailer’s own label collection. This exclusive series features three exceptional single cask whiskies: a Benriach 2008 15 Year Old, a Lowland Single Malt 2012 11 Year Old, and an Ardmore 1997 26 Year Old. These exquisite single malts are the perfect companions for warm evenings, bringing a taste of sunshine to your glass, no matter the weather.
A Taste of Summer
The Seasons: Summer collection embodies the essence of the season, offering whiskies that evoke the vibrant and lively spirit of summer. The Benriach 2008 15 Year Old, known for its generous notes of soft fruit and citrus, offered a particular standout to kick off this trio. The Lowland Single Malt 2012 11 Year Old offers bright notes of stone fruit and vanilla, in a floral and refreshing profile; this is the perfect dram to serve at your summer party. The Ardmore 1997 26 Year Old, with waxy, honeyed and tropical notes is reminiscent of summer holidays on the beach. While it’s the oldest whisky in the collection, it still has plenty of freshness, with peach and pineapple characteristics.
The Inspiration Behind The Seasons
Chris Bolton, The Whisky Exchange’s own label and brand product manager, shares the insight behind The Seasons series:
“Inspiration for The Seasons series came to us while contemplating the ideal setting to enjoy a fine dram. With that in mind, we began searching for the perfect single cask whiskies to reflect the changing seasons. Each of these single malts has been selected to evoke the senses of a certain time of the year, whatever the weather – something encapsulated by our beautiful new labels.
“For our Summer release, we’ve tried to capture the heady delights of a bright, vibrant day. Expect juicy tropical fruits, fragrant floral aromas, and freshly baked desserts. They’re perfect to enjoy during a long, lazy evening in the sun, after a convivial barbecue with friends, or even to shake off an unexpected downpour.”
