Originally created exclusively for Lotte Travel Retail, this special release was once only available to globe-trotters passing through international terminals. While it didn’t make its way far beyond duty-free shelves, we’ve just uncovered a small stash! ✈️
Usually, you’d need to book a flight overseas to get your hands on this.
But for a limited time, it’s available right here online.
Nose: Honey, raisin, nougat, sandalwood, spice, oak
Palate: Mocha, cocoa, butter, orange
The whisky has a deep nose with a long structure. The French
oak delivers notes of mocha, spice, butter & fruits leading to a
dry style influence of the French oak.
This single malt is the marriage of three casks. One cask has
spent a full term ageing in Tonnellerie Meyrieux French oak
(Tradition medium plus) and the other two casks spent three
years in Buffalo Trace ex-bourbon casks prior to spending 10
months in shaved and re-charred Tonnellerie Meyrieux French
oak (Tradition medium plus).
About the barrels:
Tonnellerie Meyrieux is near Beaune in Bourgogne. Meyrieux
crafts about 8,000 barrels a year choosing oak trees from
specific forest plots and carefully selecting grain. Oak
purchases are 100% French, from forests managed by the ONF.
