SRV5 stands for Station Road Vatted No. 5, a blended malt from Thompson Bros made from casks of whisky over 8 years old. It is vatted in a 1200-litre oak vat that has been charred and toasted, and left to rest in the wood. Only two thirds is taken for each bottling and reduced to 48.5%; the remainder starts the next batch. It is non-chill-filtered and bottled without colouring, and the label uses artwork by KK Hiroshima. The bottler's notes describe melon, apricot, green apple and marine peat on the nose, and a palate of citrus, candle wax and light smoke.

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.
