This exceptional cask in its previous incarnations was known as ‘Wardhead’ and clues to its identity lie within the label.
Aged for no less than 22 years in a Hogshead cask (no. 69) and bottled 54.4% natural cask strength, this dram is exceptionally sophisticated and rich.
Some famous distilleries are fiercely protective of their whiskies and adapted a process called tea-spooning; as in adding a teaspoon of another malt, in this case, Glenfiddich tea-spooned with Balvenie.
This is so ‘Independent Bottlers’ cannot call it a Single Malt or use the Distillery name.
STALLA DHU
A rare collection of small batch and single cask malts from Scotland’s finest distilleries.
First and second generation members of our family of independent bottlers carefully select the whiskies showing particular promise.
We begin by managing the wood and continue by housing the environment and casks that best affect the ageing to achieve the unique results we strive for.
We let the whisky slumber till the time is right and then select the correct ABV to bring a very special wee dram to you.
