My Paris Whisky Live 2022 VIP wanderings moved on to Atom Brands section – with their “fan favourite” That Boutique-y Whisky Company 10th anniversary selections then the newer Darkness range of intensely sherried whiskies.
Their brilliant cheeky “That Boutique-y Whisky Company” 10th Anniversary special drams:
- Ben Nevis 25 year (2022) Batch #16 55.8% (TBWC 10th Anniversary) GBP 260 for 500ml
- Clynelish 25 year (2022) Batch #11 47.1% (TBWC 10th Anniversary) GBP 380 for 500ml
- Blended Grain #1 45 year (2022) Batch #3 44.2% (TBWC 10th Anniversary) GBP 190 for 500ml
From their new “Darkness” range, dedicated to intensely sherry whiskies, I tried:
- Mortlach 20 year 49% (Darkness) EUR 171 for 500ml
- Blair Athol 18 year 49.4% (Darkness) EUR 105 for 500ml
- Cambus 29 year 45.7% (Darkness) EUR 145 for 500ml
As for their peaty whiskies? I knew it was too early in the day for me to explore, however, my lovely tasting companion and her exceptional chocolatier friend dipped into the smokey side and were raving about the Octomore!
Which inspired me to return just before leaving to check out the “Character of Islay” duo:
- Ardbeg 15 year (2004) 54.9% (Character of Islay) GBP 315
- Octomore 9 year (2011) 50% (Character of Islay) GBP 187
