Shetland Reel Batch No 1 Limited Edition 2015 (70cl, 47%)
One of 1,800 bottles.
The first batch of blended malt whisky produced by Shetland Reel, a distillery built on the former RAF Saxa Vord base on the isle of Unst - officially the most northerly distillery in the UK.
Shetland Reel Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is a series of award winning blended or “vatted” expressions first produced in 2015. Each batch is prepared from a small number of carefully selected casks of single malt Scotch whisky to create an exceptional whisky that is inspired by the distillery location in Unst, Shetland. The recipe was carefully developed by master distiller Stuart Nickerson, and is blended at cask strength on mainland Scotland. It then begins a 16-hour journey by ferry to the UK’s most northerly inhabited island Unst. Once it arrives at the distillery it is reduced using pure Shetland water to the bottling strength of 47% before being bottled by hand at Shetland Reel Distillery.
