Strathearn – 2013 Small Batch #1 (70cl, 46.6%)

Strathearn – 2013 Small Batch #1 is a whisky from Strathearn (Highland). Bottled at 46.6% ABV, 70cl. The tiny Perthshire distillery of Strathearn could reasonably be described as a “craft” distillery. As well as producing rum and gin, their small Alambic stills can be used to produce whisky, which they do in relatively small batches. However, in addition to traditional Scotch whisky, they have also been known to experiment with alternate wood types for maturation, such as mulberry, cherry and chestnut. Those rascally renegades! That ought to ruffle a few feathers at the Scotch Whisky Association. Now in the hands of Independent botlers Douglas Laing. Batch #1
