Description

To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 8th May, a special edition whisky is being released as part of a commemorative collection in collaboration with Norfolk charity Walking With The Wounded.

For every bottle sold, £2 will be donated to support UK veterans receiving one-to-one mental health support.

Matured in a blend of ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks, the single malt offers a rich and complex flavour. Presented in an elegant decanter, it serves as a lasting tribute to this historic occasion.

Tasting Note by The English:
Nose: Sweet toffee, ripe bananas and burnt sugar mingle with soft tropical fruits, vanilla sponge, a hint of pepper and rich honeycomb.
Palate: Sweet sticky toffee, crisp apples and pears, milk chocolate, brown sugar and a gentle ginger.
Finish: A crisp, fresh and oaky finish.

This VE-Day 80th Anniversary commemorative bottle is popular with collectors, with customers praising "excellent service" and "superb" quality. While most shoppers purchased it for display rather than drinking, one reviewer found the whisky "dull and uninteresting" and questioned its value, noting better alternatives exist at lower prices.

Free Sample - Dissapointing Dram

I received this sample along with a bottle of Octomore. Maybe this was intended as suggested alternative. This is rather dull and uninteresting whisky. Even with an ex bourbon barrel influence it's not too sweet. The first fill influence is mold, so I'm guessing this is not a mature malt. It's not bad, but it's just not worth the price tag. Many better drams for a lot less. Now that the resale market have collapsed, I'd not be sitting on this for long either. Maybe a nice gift for a non drinker.

Excellent

Cant give a proper review as i dont drink it i collect it but the service was spot on

A Tribute to Heroes

Limited Edition Collectible
