Previous Perth 21-Yr-Previous, a As soon as in a Lifetime Marriage of Macallan and Highland Park

In a narrative that blends serendipity with craftsmanship, Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers has launched the Previous Perth 21-Yr-Previous, a whisky born from a second of probability and matured into legend. The brand new limited-edition bottling brings collectively spirit from two icons of Scottish whisky-making, Macallan and Highland Park, in a vatting that may by no means be replicated.

Its story started in 2015, when casks from the Speyside and Orkney distilleries have been unexpectedly mixed. The Highland Park element, distilled in 2004, was already a decade outdated, whereas the Macallan portion carried larger age and depth. The union was then laid to relaxation in hand-selected Oloroso Sherry Butts, the place it matured for one more ten years. The youngest whisky within the ultimate composition now stands at 21 years outdated.

Earlier incarnations of this vatting appeared below Previous Perth’s 12-, 13-, and 14-year-old labels, quietly incomes cult standing amongst collectors. With the discharge of the 21-Yr-Previous, this unintended creation reaches full maturity, wealthy, resonant, and unimaginable to repeat. Bottled at 43.6% ABV, it delivers waves of sherried fruit, warming spice, and polished oak, underpinned by a fragile thread of Highland Park’s island smoke.

“This launch is as a lot about serendipity as it’s about talent,” says Graeme Mackeddie, Manufacturing Director at Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers. “An operational mishap has produced a whisky that may by no means exist once more, a real one-off, formed by time and sherry wooden.”

Accessible now via choose specialist retailers within the UK and Europe, the Previous Perth 21-Yr-Previous is priced at £178 RRP.
