The Whisky World Unites: Exclusive Releases and Luxury Experiences
The world of whisky is abuzz with excitement as two exclusive releases and a luxurious experience are announced. From the limited edition Bonnington Sherry Cask to the ultra-luxe Macallan Horizon, whisky connoisseurs are in for a treat.
Bonnington Sherry Cask: A Limited Edition Release
Halewood Artisanal Spirits has launched a Sherry-cask-matured whisky from Bonnington distillery in Edinburgh. This small batch Lowland single malt whisky release has been aged exclusively in four ex-Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry casks. With only 250 cases available, this is a rare opportunity to experience the rich, bold flavors of this whisky.
“I am delighted to follow up our inaugural launch with this very nice Sherry cask release. The liquid itself is something we’re really proud of – aged in PX casks and cut at 47% ABV, it’s bold, rich, and full of flavor,” said Jamie Lockhart, distillery manager at Bonnington.
The Macallan Horizon: A Luxury Whisky Experience
The Macallan has partnered with the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh to offer an ultra-luxe whisky experience. This exclusive package includes a two-night stay at the hotel, a visit to the Macallan distillery in Speyside, and a bottle of the $50,000 Macallan Horizon. This limited-edition release is a single malt whisky aged in six first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks.
“The Macallan Horizon is a single malt whisky aged in six first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks, but the real reason why this limited-edition release was so expensive is because of the partnership with Bentley Motors,” said a spokesperson for The Macallan.
Rare Whiskies Up for Auction
A collection of rare American whiskies is set to go under the hammer at an auction next month. The collection, curated by author and historian Dr. Paul S. Hirsch, includes notable releases from names like Weller, Pappy Van Winkle, and Willett. With some bottles expected to fetch up to $15,000, this is an opportunity for serious whisky collectors to add to their collections.
Conclusion
The world of whisky is full of exciting releases and experiences. From the limited edition Bonnington Sherry Cask to the ultra-luxe Macallan Horizon, there’s something for every whisky enthusiast. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your whisky journey, these exclusive releases are sure to delight.
