New Releases from Turntable Spirits: A Symphony of Flavors
Turntable Spirits is once again captivating whisky enthusiasts with innovative new releases from its music-inspired series. The latest addition is Track 6: All My Life, a meticulously crafted blend comprising 81% malt whisky sourced from renowned distilleries like GlenAllachie, Balblair, Benriach, and Knockdhu, married with 19% North British grain whisky. This intriguing composition brings a flavor profile brimming with complexity and charm.
An elegant blend celebrating quality and craftsmanship.
Sensory Journey through Whisky
As you approach the glass, the nose reveals an elegant and sweet fragrance, characterized by the scents of red apples, plums, and raisins, nicely complemented by a hint of potpourri—likely a nod to the Limousin oak’s influence. Layered with sour berries and cinnamon, the aromatic profile deepens with vanilla pastry and subtle almond biscuits, intertwined with a touch of pencil shavings.
Upon tasting, Track 6 unfolds beautifully on the palate. The initial sweetness bursts forth with a rich spiciness that surpasses expectations. The experience is reminiscent of stewed fruit, suggesting apple pie and raisins, before gradually introducing notes of gentle cocoa, dried ginger, and walnuts. The finish is medium in length, revealing hints of grain, and overall, the blend showcases a wonderful integration of its components, making it an excellent choice for a daily dram.
This delightful blend, which boasts a sherry influence more pronounced than its original recipe suggested, can be found at various retailers, including TyndrumWhisky and select stores in Germany through Kirsch Import.
A Toast to Collaboration: Dingle Release
In another exciting venture, Turntable Spirits launches a limited edition that marries Irish whiskey with Scotch whisky, featuring a unique blend with Dingle distillery. This iteration highlights single pot still whiskey aged in Oloroso casks, harmoniously blended with whiskies from Balmenach, Blair Athol, and Loch Lomond.
Celebrating the art of collaboration in whisky-making.
The aroma offers a slightly musty yet buttery PX influence, evoking imagery of caramelized nuts and gingerbread intertwined with figs and raspberry jam. On the palate, this exquisite blend indulges the senses with a rich sherry character, boasting flavors of figs, dates, and toffee, all undercut by brighter notes of peaches and a whisper of vanilla. Although it showcases a brighter fruitiness than Track 6, the rich depth of the sherry elements remains present.
While the Dingle component subtly enriches this blend, it maintains balance, ensuring that no single flavor overshadows the others. This limited edition will primarily be available in the UK, Ireland, Germany, and The Netherlands, with plans for broader distribution in the near future.
“This product exemplifies how collaboration can lead to remarkable outcomes; it’s about more than just merging flavors—it’s about creating a narrative,” says Dingle’s distillery representative.
The Significance of Blending in Whisky
The artistry of blending whiskies is often celebrated yet frequently underestimated. It requires not only technical skill but also an innate understanding of how different flavor profiles can complement each other. Each spirit contributes its own story, creating a layered experience that speaks to the distiller’s vision.
Both releases from Turntable Spirits exemplify this philosophy—Track 6 offers a complex tapestry, while the Dingle collaboration embraces a community of flavors that reflect the essence of both traditions.
Conclusion: Embracing Innovation in the Whisky World
In the ever-evolving landscape of whisky, these two releases demonstrate Turntable Spirits’ unyielding commitment to quality and creativity. As whisky lovers worldwide seek new experiences, the melding of distinct profiles and traditions showcases the rich terrain that blends can explore. Both All My Life and the Dingle collaboration entice us to savor the stories behind every sip, reaffirming the notion that at its core, whisky is a celebration of craftsmanship and collaboration.
The future of Turntable Spirits looks bright, as they continue to push boundaries and invite whisky enthusiasts to partake in this symphonic journey.
