The Exclusive Blend of Malts 20 Year Old Malt Scotch Whisky

The Exclusive Blend of Malts 20 Year Old Malt Scotch Whisky

During the 19th century, illegal distilleries were commonplace throughout Scotland. In response, Parliament passed the Whisky Excise Act of 1823, which permitted distilleries in Scotland to distill whisky in exchange for a license that cost 10 and subjected each liter of whisky produced to a special tax. Within decades, the Scotch whisky became one of the countries greatest exports. The Exclusive Blend of Malts 20 Year Old Malt Scotch Whisky was crafted exclusively from malted barley, which was mashed and fermented before being distilled at some of the most prestigious Highland and Speyside distilleries in Scotland. The Highlands region is known for producing bold and powerful single malts that are full-bodied, rich and textured, and are often characterized by a touch of smoke and fruit. In contrast, the Speyside region is known for producing slightly more oily whiskies, that are lighter yet more sweet on the palate. After the Highland and Speyside whiskies were distilled in 1994, they were married together and allowed to rest for two decades in casks that had been previously used to mature sherry. Following this beautyrest, the whisky was bottled in 2014 without the use of chill filtration or artificial coloring. The Exclusive Blend of Malts 20 Year Old Malt Scotch Whisky has a copper-bronze color, along with an aroma of raisins, dates and cherries. The aroma gives way to notes of citrus (particularly orange), marzipan, honeyed cloves and ginger on the palate, and leads to a finish with hints of plums, berries and fresh tobacco.
