Time is seriously flying… I can’t believe we’re almost approaching Summer and I haven’t had time to start watching Outlander new season yet (I feel like I’m talking way too much about TV shows around here lately… )<\/em>! So, beside trying to get all my work done in due time (and comparing 154878 types of blenders on Amazon so that I’ll have my smoothie breakfasts and summer-vibish snacks right on time before high temperatures start hitting us again<\/em>), I still found time to publish this monthly wishlist, compiling some highly-attractive expressions!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ardbeg Dark Cove – Ardbeg Day 2016<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dark Cove is a limited-edition whisky released on 28 May in honour of Ardbeg Day 2016 \u2013 the distillery’s open day as part of the yearly Islay Festival. Matured in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, this is smoky and spicy with a hint of sweetness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Compass Box – Enlightenment<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the spirit of Compass Box’s Campaign for Scotch Whisky Transparency comes Enlightenment. This blended malt is made up of 48.2% bright, waxy, apple-y Clynelish (first fill American oak barrel), 36.7% fruity, hebal Glentauchers (first fill American oak barrel), 10.8% perfumed, bright Balblair (first fill American oak barrel) and 4.3% muscular weighty Mortlach (rejuvenated American oak barrel). EU law currently stops them letting us all know how old these constituent parts are, but as Compass Box say, this is a whisky “with which to ponder the world of Scotch not only as it is but also as it could be”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
