Aftapningen Chapter 3 er inspireret af Sir Arthur John Tedder – The Exciseman, der var udstationeret hos Glengoyne.
Den 2. marts 1908 var han vidne til:
Royal Commission on Whiskey and other potable spirits. A royal commission to determine the very concept of what whisky was.
On one side was the purists who only thought Pot Still whisky was whisky and on the other side Blenders who thought grain and malt whisky combined was whisky.
The Scots and the blenders won the day after 37 sittings; This was seen as the sensible outcome. Blends could still be called Whisky and called Scotch if distilled in Scotland.
Chapter 3 har ligget på american oak sherry casks og bourbon casks og aftappet ved 48%

Denne aftapning er basseret på fade fra Loch Lomond Distillery. Så har Lead Whiskymaker James Saxon taget nogle fade fra North British og Cameronbridge, samt en portion af deres egen grain aftapning, Hedonism der har lagt på fade i yderligere tid, og fået denne eksperimentielle aftapning ud af det.
Noter: An appetising aroma of contrasts: banana and toffee mingle with soft, savoury barbecue smokiness and hints of rum and raspberry. Enjoy a soft and oily palate of almond and vanilla before a curiously delicious flavour of burnt pine cones develops.
Der er aftappet 6142 flasker ved 46%
Pris: £100,00

To nye aftapninger fra The GlenAllachie Distillers Company, begge kommer til at indgå i deres Core serie.
Den ene er en 8 års GlenAllachie single malt og den anden er en 15 års White Heather blended whisky.
Billy Walker udtaler:
“From the outset, it has been my aim to release quality whiskies at fair and accessible price points. This can be a significant challenge when you also choose to deploy an extensive and costly wood management policy, however, I believe The GlenAllachie 8-year-old fits the bill without any compromises or corner-cutting.
“In terms of White Heather, this has been a real passion project for me. It takes me back to my first forays in the industry and allows me to select and blend whiskies from across Scotland in order to achieve the intended flavour profile. I hold a strong belief that interest in the Premium Blend category is growing, and we very much want to be at the forefront of it with White Heather.”

Aftapningen er afsluttet på rum fade fra Barbados og aftappet ved 40%

Den 9. aftapning i serien Kylver er på vej fra Wolfburn.
Aftapningen har ligget 7 år på first-fill dark rum barrel, dernæst viet med to first-fill bourbon barrels og er hermed også den første aftapning der har ligget på rum fade. Rum fadene blev fyldt i 2015.
"Wolfburn’s Kylver collectors’ series takes its name from the Kylver Stone. Unearthed in Sweden in 1903, it depicts the entire Viking runic alphabet: each whisky in the series is named after a different letter. The ninth letter, Hagalaz, translates as hail from the sky."
