After the summer holidays, one of the busiest periods of the year starts: the months leading to the huge peak of sales for Christmas, a period which usually coincides with the launch of a series of new bottlings. Actually, for us the effort started much earlier, with samples tasting, cask selection and planning which have been going on for all the previous months of the year (and also part of the year before). But yes, this is actually the time when you are finally able to see the fruits of our unstoppable work!
As it often happens, we choose this period to launch some innovative bottlings, to introduce some interesting new concepts and give a new touch of freshness to our beloved classic line: the Barrel Selection.
These are the new intriguing whiskies that we are releasing:

Glenlossie 2010-24 Sherry Finish PX W&M544 (46%)
Royal Brackla 2011-24 Rejuvenated Cask W&M540 (46%)

Rejuvenated Cask - 100 U.K. Proof
W&M541
57,1%

Young but very intense, this very traditional Highlands single malt was entirely matured in a rejuvenated hogshead: a second fill cask that was internally shaved, toasted and recharred. The effect of this kind of barrels is not as strong as new oak, but more intense than refill. It’s a robust bodied malt, with great freshness of heather honey, cereals, flowers at the nose, but there is also a quizzical note which becomes even more evident on the palate. Immediately, at the first sip, a light touch of smokiness enriches the malty fragrance. The toasted note from the cask imparts a hint of liquorice, of black bread, to the malty and waxy character of the whisky. In the finale, it grows peppery and more tannic, with the toasted notes turning into a delicately ashy aftertaste.

Sherry Finish Oloroso - 100 U.K. Proof
W&M542
57,1%

A particularly long finish for 48 months in a first fill Oloroso cask was the perfect touch for this crisp Speyside malt from a very old-fashioned distillery: in spite of the exuberance of young age, it’s already extremely complex and multifaceted. At the nose, as expected, the first impact is very winey, spicy, with that typical dry, astringent and nutty note of Oloroso. It’s peppery, hot, with plenty of red cherries: sherry monster galore! But it’s at the palate that it really shows its maturity and nuance (maybe with the help of a drop of water): yes, it’s winey and spicy, but also extremely biscuity. Toasted cereals, freshly baked bread, a hint of strongly brewed tea, always with a robust mineral backbone. It grows again toward a peppery, nutty and oaky side towards the end, but it remains dry, firm and crisp.

Young and old… but always GOLD!

While only started in 2019, the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition is already considered one of the most influential spirits contests all over the world. The reason for its importance is simple: it involves a large number of industry experts in its panel of judges (259 tasters for this edition!), and it is organized in a very structured and professional way. First a session of remote tastings at the beginning of the year, then a second session in Tokyo at the end of spring: all the spirits are tasted blindly, each of them is evaluated by at least eight jurors, and the result is complete fairness and impartiality of the results. Only taste matters in the end!
The ambitious goal of the competition is to rigorously judge all kinds of fine spirits: traditional Japanese ones, but also the best spirits from the rest of the world. This year the total amount of submissions was 832, a really impressive amount! Ron Millonario entered the competition with our two extremes: the fresh, light and young 10 Aniversario Reserva, and the rich, sweet, luxurious and very mature Millonario XO. Two very different bottlings that encompass the opposites in our range: a rum made for easy drinking and cocktails, and our behemoth meant for slow meditative tasting, maybe paired with a cigar. But in our opinion, both are of the highest quality, regardless of age and price point. And we are happy to see that the Japanese jury agrees with us, because they both received the same award!
Gold:
Ron Millonario 10 Aniversario Reserva
Ron Millonario XO

Our most sincere thanks to the organization of the competition, and we promise to participate next year too!

Royal Brackla 2011-24
Rejuvenated Cask
W&M540
46,0%

Fully matured in a hogshead that been shaved, toasted and recharred (the first experiment of this kind for us), this Highlands single malt showcases the purity and cleanness of style of the spirit, with only a medium touch of oak from the cask. At the nose it’s rich with cereals, fresh and flowery, with a nice malty intensity and a touch of honey. The style remains true to the classic Highlands approach at the taste, too: firm, honeyed and mineral at the same time, with a touch of beeswax but also a dry tannic backbone to compensate the sweetness. The interplay between heather, chamomile, white pepper and herbal notes is particularly appetizing. The pepper, the mineral note and the tight tannins build in intensity towards the finale.
