Douglas Laing
unveils 'The Heart' New Make Spirit from
Strathearn Distillery.
 Douglas Laing & Co today announced the
launch of Strathearn The Heart Single
Malt New Make Spirit.
Produced using Maris Otter barley and
Dried Distillers yeast that had a 120
hour fermentation time it has been bottled at cask filling strength of 63.5%
ABV, the 'White Whisky' new make spirit is presented
in a 20cl bottle and offers whisky
aficionado's the chance to 'sip and
speculate' about the Single Malt Scotch
Whisky to come from the Strathearn
Distillery in future.
Douglas Laing & Co who acquired the
Perthshire Distillery in 2019, say they
have since invested heavily in improving
facilities, whilst insisting on
preserving the hand-crafted, small batch
approach to distillation.
Strathearn's New Make Spirit which they
have named 'The Heart', takes its name
from the middle cut in the distillation
process; the spirit that is collected
and destined to later mature into
Strathearn
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Douglas Laing describe their
Strathearn New Make Spirit as 'creamy' with a
'mineral style' and a 'hint of citrus'.
Strathearn's Head Distiller, Angela
Brown, said: "Strathearn spirit is the
product of a truly traditional art. From
carrying the malt in, shovelling the
spent grain out, careful steam control
for a gentle and effective distillation
our involvement during the entire
process is key. We nose and taste
throughout every spirit distillation,
paying close attention as we make our
cut points. I am proud to be working
towards something as special as the
Strathearn Single Malt. Our new make
spirit is a wonderful preview of the
Whisky we will enjoy in the future."
Chris Leggat, Managing Director,
commented: "Our 'white whisky' is
remarkably robust and rich, and 90% of
the casks we use predominantly wine
and sherry casks are first fill. The
combination of a phenomenal new make and
unwavering commitment to the best wood
will result in our small distillery
producing one MIGHTY Single Malt. Its
coming soon, but until then, we invite
Whisky aficionados to sip and savour The
Heart and speculate about the fantastic
future promised by Strathearn".
Strathearn The Heart New Make Spirit is
a limited release of 1,800
20cl bottles and will have a RRP of £17.99,
'The Heart' will be
available from specialist online
whisky retailers
such as
The Whisky Exchange,
Hard To Find Whisky

Strathearn The Heart Single Malt New Make Spirit Review
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
A mineral style, developing to creamy
porridge with a touch of honey.
Taste:
More of that creamy character is evident
on the palate, with butter and a warming
yet gentle spiciness.
Finish:
A long and lingering finish with a hint
of citrus zest and Malted barley.
