Last Deconstructed Farm Tasting Sets alert. When we launched our Deconstructed Farm Tasting Sets the other week, we naturally kept a few back in case we had to replace any that might have been damaged in transit. Happily they all survived intact – which means those last nine are still available. A cask strength sample of Bannow Island Single Farm Origin taken from each of the cask types we use in its assemblage, plus a sample of the new make spirit itself. What’s more, we recorded the special tasting with Head Distiller Ned, so you can watch along as you sample each one, learning how our Good Wood portfolio comes together for harmony as a single malt. And since they’re large 50ml samples, you can play around as Ned does with creating your own mini-cuvée. Just remember, we only have nine of these very popular sets left. First come, first served, and we’ll send the link to Ned’s tasting along with your purchase. Get yours here: https://lnkd.in/ecXhAwNR

Cuvée Luna, now available to buy online, is the natural next step – or, in this case, quantum leap – in our Arcadian Farm explorations and the creativity and complexity of the Cuvée Concept. Biodynamic spirit – that which we glean through the most esoteric form of agriculture, an uber-organic approach adopted by the world’s most revered vineyards and wineries – is responsible for our most intense and naturally flavoursome single malt of all. Already with a 90 point score from whiskyfun.com, taste this natural intensity of flavour for yourself. Shop here: https://lnkd.in/eJaSN8SF
