Detailed Description
The final and very mysterious bottling from the Diageo Special Releases 2018, the identity of Cladach was kept under wraps longer than the other editions in the range and, to be honest, the name itself isn’t particularly illuminating. Is it a new distillery bottling? Is it a typo? Is it a blended malt from six coastal distilleries including Caol Ila, Clynelish, Lagavulin, Oban, Inchgower and Talisker? Oh, wait – it’s the last one. Cladach is a continuation of the same thinking that brought us the Collectivum XXVIII (the blended malt made using the liquid from every operational Diageo distillery) last year. This year the blend features just six distilleries, but this does provide the blend with a greater clarity of style of flavour. The limited release coastal colossus was matured in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks, refill American oak hogsheads, refill European oak butts and ex-bodega European oak butts before it was bottled at a natural cask strength 57.1% ABV.
