Last year, the retailer released two other editions: The Season: Summer and The Seasons: Autumn. Each release features detailed art reflecting the season.
Dawn Davies MW, buying director of The Whisky Exchange, commented: “These”whiskies are proper winter warmers with their rich Sherry-heavy backbone, dark spices, and full flavors. Warm up your dark and dull January with these wonderful, heart-warming drams.”
Amon” the three spirits in The Seasons: Winter, is the eight-year-old Laphroaig and by far the youngest in this series. The expression offers aromas of dark fruits, moss, roasted almonds, and raisins, followed on the palate by toffee, coffee, roasted marshmallows, nutmeg, and bonfire ash.
Bottled at 66% ABV, the winter expression retails for £79.95 (US$99).
Following in age format, the 10-year-old single malt from the island of Orkney was distilled in 2013 and bottled at 57% ABV. The whisky emits aromas of roasted chestnuts, caramelized orange peel, a hint of spice, carrot cake, and marzipan, with dark chocolate and cacao nibs on the palate. The expression has a retail price of £69.95 (US$87).
The last and oldest of the three expressions is the 16-year-old Blair Athol. The single malt whisky stores the essence of walnuts, leather, a hint of fireworks, raisin, and sultana on the nose, followed by rich and bold dried fruits, nuts, and sweet spices on the palate.
Showcasing the highest price of the three bottles, the spirit retails for£110 (US$136) and is bottled at 55.1% ABV.
Later this year, the Whisky Exchange will release the fourth and final collection of the series.
