Released In Just One Batch Per Year, Celebrate Life’s Milestones With These Six Specialty Crafted Liquids.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DIAGEO has announced the launch of its newest Distillers Edition bottlings in the U.S. \u2013 an annual release of limited-edition Single Malt Scotch Whiskies that are double-matured in different types of cask wood, chosen to complement the characteristics of each mature whisky. The time-honoured finishing process creates a distinct and delectable flavour, making each Distiller’s Edition marque a truly bespoke gift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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 honour 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.<\/p>\n

Since 1997, the award-winning Distillers Edition liquids continue to possess a nuance of flavour 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 flavoured Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, each very much true to its origins, yet possessing a rich depth, complexity and nuance of flavour not found in the regular release. Nowhere though, has this been allowed to mask the essential distillery character.<\/p>\n

“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,”<\/em> 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.”<\/em><\/p>\n

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 Drizly.com.
