“Our clients belief us, so whereas no one is aware of what to anticipate once we reveal our Black Friday whisky, they take an opportunity on it, and for good cause: we’re well-known for locating very good whiskies.”

In keeping with Billy Abbott, model ambassador for The Whisky Alternate, the one malt presents fruity aromas of “candy apple and white-wine-poached pear, raisins and sultanas, flambéed pineapple and creamy banana splits”, with a palate of “extra apples and pears”, plus “tropical fruit jelly”, “darker notes of polished oak and bittersweet darkish chocolate”, spices and “outdated leaves”.

The end delivers “outdated oak and a contact of cherry sweetness fading to go away mocha espresso”.

Earlier this yr, Pernod Ricard agreed to buy The Whisky Exchange for an undisclosed sum.
