blend of remarkable aged grain whiskies, including a barrel of 30-year-old from the Carsebridge Distillery, long since closed. Blended by Willie Phillips, formerly of The Macallan; finished in first-fill sherry casks. Subtle, elegant, authentically individual, with great structure.

Grain whiskies (wheat and corn) are the basis for all blended Scotch whiskies. Usually blended with malt whiskies, by themselves they possess a calm, rich flavor that is rounder and less arid than blended Scotch; in The Exceptional, finishing in first-fill sherry casks (photo is of Lustau’s Bodegain Spain) adds dried-fruit richness to the whiskey’s body. Ansley prefers grain to malt Scotches.

Whiskies are distilled from grain: barley, corn, rye, wheat, even oats. The grains are prepared in various ways, including malting and drying, to convert starches into sugars. Water is added to create a “mash”, which is fermented to convert the sugars into beer-like alcohol. Distillation can be on either potstills or column stills. Whiskies include single-malt scotch, bourbon, and a wide range of blended whiskies: Scotch, Canadian, American. THE EXCEPTIONAL whiskies are distilled from barley, corn and wheat.

Amazing Scotch

One of the smoothest Scotches I’ve ever tasted. As soon as a finish a bottle, I order another. It’s not cheap so I drink it sparingly, but it’s worth the price. A special treat.
