Collectivum XXVIII (Special Release 2017)
Diageo
Tasting Notes
Collectivum XXVIII is a rare gem, a harmonious blend of malt whiskies from every operational Diageo distillery, crafted to celebrate the diversity of flavors that Scotch has to offer. At a robust 57.3% ABV, it packs a delightful punch that tantalizes the senses. The aroma beckons with a delightful fusion of nostalgia and intrigue – a touch of tonic and ginger mingles with the perfume of Clynelish, leading to stewed fruits and Turkish delight once water is added. On the palate, aniseed and caramel take center stage, complemented by a creamy mouthfeel and hints of allspice and clove that dance gracefully without overpowering. The finish lingers with a spicy nuttiness and a subtle whisper of smoke, leaving a lasting impression. This unique expression is a testament to the art of blending, a symphony of flavors that whisky enthusiasts won't want to miss.
