So to launch this landmark collection we didn\u2019t want to get side-tracked by gimmicks. Or look away from our whisky. Because it\u2019s there, in the spirit itself, you see our craft, passion and dedication.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the launch, the distillery has teamed up with photomicrographer Peter Woitschikowski, who has captured photos \u2013 using a microscope fixed to a high-resolution camera \u2013 of the spirit up close.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of his imagery and the use of a microscope to offer a closer look of the spirit, Woitschikowski added: <em>\u201cYou never know how the images will come out. And every picture is different and unique.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTamdhu was a special case because the whisky is so pure. So perfect. We had to add extracts to create the crystallisation required. The results are quite beautiful, I believe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The whisky was photographed at 43 and 46 times magnification, which represented a microscope spin for every year the whisky matured in the Sherry oak.<\/p>\n<p>As a canvas, Woitschikowski crystallised the whisky with natural extracts inspired by the tasting notes of orange, coffee and lemon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE FORTY THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Forty Three matured exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry oak casks. This whisky is matured in not one but three different sherry oak casks. Each brings more complex flavours and a deeper, richer amber colour. There are only 100 bottles of this special whisky available globally.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1-.jpg\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1-.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1--300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1--480x289.jpg 480w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1-.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74598 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1-.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1--300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ZtGuikaF0TcGJlLx_Untitled-1080x650px-1--480x289.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasting Notes Magnified<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The whisky crystalised with natural extracts inspired by the tasting notes.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee and sherry aromas rise with toffee and coriander &#8211; balanced with berries and dried spice.<\/p>\n<p>Orange and molasses emerge from deep sherry notes which unfold into blackcurrant, chocolate and coconut.<\/p>\n<p>The finish is wonderfully rich, a kaleidoscope of lemon, dried berries and sherry oak.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE FORTY SIX &#8211; TRAVEL RETAIL EXCLUSIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every year in a sherry oak cask magnifies the flavour, intensity and character of our whisky.
