With the kick-off of another Feis Ile, the 2019 edition, which started on Fri 24th May and will run till Sat 1st June, we thought it interesting to present you some Feis Ile beauties from the past.
Here you can find the splendid Laphroaig 2013 Feis Ile – Port cask bottling.

For over 30 years, Juveniles Bistrot à Vins in the 1st arrondissement of Paris has been a crossroads for winemakers, spirits producers, writers and various sorts of affable hedonists from all over the world.
Compass Box & Juveniles share a similar approach to good food and drink, seeking out integrity and not taking things too seriously. Both businesses are obsessed with quality and provenance. Both like to do things in their own way.
These common traits have made Compass Box and Juveniles good friends since the very first meeting between Tim and John years ago. They have collaborated with Tim on Juveniles whiskies several times.
For this Limited Edition,Tim asked them to create something “…bright, smooth, not smoky…an assemblage perhaps between 12 and 15 years-old…”. They’ve tried to give him all that an much more. This assemblage comprises single malt whiskies from four distilleries, each bringing a distinctiveness to the whole.
You’ll find notes of barley sugar, pear drop and vanilla, complemented by an ethereal underlying herbal character. It’s a whisky to be enjoyed with great food and even better company.
Bottled at 46% ABV.
Not chill-filtered.
Natural colour.

As I am personally a big fan of Compass Box for the quality they deliver, the kick-ass attitude and the out of the box thinking approach they keep showing, I will do this little promo on this exclusive limited edition!
Have a dram and enjoy the music!
A third entry in the Diageo Special Releases for Pittyvaich. It’s a rare whisky to see as the distillery was closed in 1993 and very few casks have made it out into the wild. Fortunately, Diageo have dropped another 1989-vintage edition in the Special Releases, giving us a chance to try the distillery’s idiosyncratic style. It was matured in refill American-oak hogsheads and the gentle wood influence has revealed a core of fruity spirit.
Cask wood: refill American oak hogsheads.
Availability: 4,680 bottles.
Pittyvaich was a small distillery that was only open from 1974 to 1993. A 25 YO version was released as part of the Special Releases in 2015, so this year’s release is presumably from the same stock with 3 additional years of again.
