A 16 year old Balmenach from Speyside, distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2024 by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society as 48.160, Ode To The Worm Tub. It is one of 274 bottles from a single cask, bottled at 55.8% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The whisky spent 13 years in a bourbon hogshead before moving to a first fill American oak oloroso sherry hogshead. The nose is heavy and oily, with rapeseed oil, olive oil, hessian, tool box rags and liquorice, alongside dark fruit beers, black tea, red apple skins and dried cranberry. On the palate come chopped dates, cinder toffee, aniseed sweets and heather honey cake, with putty and waxiness.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
