Wormtub Speyside 10yo 56.8% 70cl

Wormtubs are classic bits of distilling equipment and the distinctive, heavy, robust flavours they create are prized by whisky fans. Yet, those long copper coiled tubes housed in cold water in a large vat are sadly too rare these days as many favoured more modern and efficient condensers. They're the vinyl of the whisky world.

This expression takes some beautiful whisky that was at least ten-years-old from a distillery in Speyside that uses wormtubs (that we can't name, but we think there will be a few among you who can work it out), reracked into refill and first-fill sherry casks before bottling. It's bottled at natural cask strength without any added caramel for colouring. Find us another whisky this cool at this price that showcases the beauty of the 'tub like this.
