This year's Distillers Edition collection consists of six
award-winning liquids from prominent Scotch distilleries throughout
the Islands, Speyside, the Highlands and the Lowlands: Lagavulin,
Talisker, Cragganmore, Oban, Dalwhinnie and Glenkinchie. To honor
the preciousness of the liquids, only one batch of each whisky is
produced per year, making them a perfect gift to mark life's
milestone occasions. The latest collection takes this one step
further, featuring a new label design for each malt which
incorporates stylistic elements representative of each distillery
and its core expressions.
Since 1997, the award-winning Distillers Edition liquids
continue to possess a nuance of flavor beautifully endowed by the
double maturation process. The second maturation takes place in
batches, using individually prepared casks that have held a
specially selected fortified wine. Each batch takes months to
mature, with the final product resulting in a range of sublime,
deeply flavored Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, each very much true to
its origins, yet possessing a rich depth, complexity and nuance of
flavor not found in the regular release. Nowhere though, has this
been allowed to mask the essential distillery character.
"We're proud to introduce the latest Distillers Edition line-up,
a collection created to celebrate some of DIAGEO's finest Single
Malt Scotch Whiskies and their distilleries," said Hannah Todd, Director of Single Malt Whiskies
Portfolio at DIAGEO. "The collection has a long history dedicated
to its aging process and craftsmanship, making it the perfect gift
to commemorate special moments with. Whether celebrating a holiday,
gifting a loved one, or toasting to a special occasion, the
Distillers Edition collection has a liquid for every type of person
in your life."
Historically, the Distillers Editions have won awards at major
international competitions. All six Distillers Edition bottlings
are now available in the U.S. for consumers 21+ wherever fine
spirits are sold or for online purchase & home delivery at
