21 YO World Whisky Blend Headlines That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Summertime Specials

That Boutique-y Whisky Company has released a 21 Year Old World Whisky Blend, the headline bottling in a new collection of seven limited editions called the Summertime Specials. The range is available now from Master of Malt, with just 475 bottles of the flagship blend priced at £74.95.

The 21 Year Old builds on the brand’s original World Whisky Blend, one of its best-known bottlings. That blend combines whiskies from 14 countries and comes with seven recommended serves, from cola and ginger ale to green tea, coconut water, or neat.

The new expression offers long-aged whisky from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and Japan, finished in sherry casks. It is designed for shorter cocktails and slow sipping.

READ THE STORY

The label was designed by long-time Boutique-y collaborator and Glasgow artist Emily Chappell. It turns the original’s floating globe into an ice ball melting into the whisky, a deliberate climate nod. The blend was created by Sam Simmons, head of whisky at Master of Malt.

“The question behind World Whisky Blend has always been a simple one: with so many incredible whiskies being made around the world, what do they taste like together?” said Simmons. “The 21 Year Old is that question asked of much older stock — long-aged whisky from Scotland, Ireland, Canada and Japan, married in sherry casks. Twenty-one years is just the youngest whisky in there — the oldest is staying a secret.”

Simmons added: “It leads a summer collection we’ve loved putting together: single malts from Bowmore, Inchgower and Clynelish, a 35-year-old Girvan single grain, and — because if you don’t ask, you don’t get — two of them at natural cask strength.”

The rest of the line-up spans Islay, Speyside, the Highlands, and one of Scotland’s largest grain distilleries. It includes a Bowmore 17 Year Old (£89.95, 343 bottles), an Inchgower 12 Year Old (£59.95, 336 bottles), a Clynelish 12 Year Old (£59.95, 350 bottles), and a Girvan 35 Year Old single grain (£89.95, 202 bottles).

By popular demand, natural cask strength editions of the Inchgower (55.2% ABV) and Clynelish (54% ABV) are also available, each priced at £74.95.

All bottlings are 45.8% ABV unless stated, non-chill-filtered, and naturally colored, in 70cl bottles.

Boutique-y has also teamed up with Drinks by the Dram on a Master of Malt exclusive tasting set of all five core Summertime Specials in 30ml wax-sealed drams, priced at £32.95.
