A WESTER Ross distillery has introduced two new limited edition bottlings to its range of single malt whiskies.
Badachro Distillery has announced the release of Bad na h-Achlaise Ruby Port Finish Cask Strength and Madeira Cask expression.
The first, limited to 30 bottles, will be a collector's item and it is an unpeated spirit coming at 57.9 per cent ABV and matured in Ruby Port casks.
Managing director Gordon Quinn said: “We’re immensely proud of our Bad na h-Achlaise whiskies, and are excited for single malt fans to raise a dram to these two new expressions.
“The Madeira Cask expression is a light and drinkable dram packed with flavours of red cherries, a hint of bitter chocolate and strawberry sherbets – while the Ruby Port Finish Cask Strength malt intensifies the popular fruity flavours of the regular strength variety.
“Experimenting with different casks allows us to highlight and amplify different flavours in our whisky, meaning each has its own, truly unique flavour profile.”
Bad na h-Achlaise Madeira Cask is limited to 1,900 bottles and comes at 46 per cent ABV.
The family-run distillery was founded by Gordon and Vanessa Quinn who met at the Badachro Inn and married just 12 weeks later. After travelling the world together, the pair returned to Badachro to follow their dream of setting up a distillery.
Both expressions will be on sale at badachrodistillery.com – with the Madeira cask to be sold by selected stockists.
