- Sea Cask, described as ‘smooth and easy’ on the pack, is a classic Speyside-style single malt with nutty vanilla notes. This whisky develops its character from the time spent aging in warehouses located close to the sea on the Ayrshire coast, giving the whisky a subtle salty note on the finish.
- Land Cask, on the other hand, is described as ‘rich and smoky’ and is a peated single malt heroing the use of highland peat in the malting. This whisky’s flavors are developed in warehouses located further inland, allowing the smoky notes to shine through.
“We have developed two very different and evocative flavor profiles under the one brand, both inspired by the Scottish environment and raw elements where we age our whisky,” said Brian Kinsman, Master Blender at William Grant & Sons, in a prepared statement. “With a 10 year age statement, people can expect a well-rounded single malt whisky with depth of flavors that will intrigue not only new drinkers, but also more experienced single malt enthusiasts.”
Plans call for Land Cask and Sea Cask, both bottled at 40% ABV, to each price around $29. Limited official tasting notes for the two suggest “rich and smoky, with sweet citrus flavors, and an earthy character” and “smooth with nutty vanilla flavors, and salty on the finish,” respectively.
