Product description
The Diageo Special Releases 2023 collection consists of eight single malt whiskies and is called "Spirited Xchange".
It was created for the first time by Diageo’s master blender, Dr Stuart Morrison, who described his creation as “an attempt to identify and celebrate the idea of aromas and flavours that surround us every day and inspire the need to create. The collection is a cross-section of our impressive stock and the result of experimenting with more or less traditional casks. As a result, we have created eight unique spirits that we had not previously imagined would exist”. Roseisle 12 years old, described as “The Origami Kite”, is the first release from this largest malt distillery in Diageo’s portfolio (established in 2009). The whisky has been aged in fresh bourbon barrels and refill casks.
Aroma: fruity-sweet, vanilla, caramel, sponge cake, apples, pears, peaches, lime jam, white pepper, notes of hay, wax and oak.
Palate: vanilla, marzipan, honey, buttered croissant, peaches, lychees, pineapples, baked apples sprinkled with brown sugar, white pepper and a light herbal note.
