Old Rhosdhu 1993 29YO Whisky Sponge Edition No. 67
Details
Step into the petrified brain of the Sponge, from which only Old Rhosdhu can grow...
Or in this case, specifically, a 1993 refill hogshead of Old Rhosdhu, distilled at Loch Lomond distillery in their famously confusing still room. It was aged for 29 years (almost 30 dammit!) and bottled with around 2 degrees reduction to 57.1% (100° proof in Brexlish). They deliberately did this because it made everything just that bit more fruity and exotic, and as you very well know, Old Rhosdhu is all about weird, pulpy, overripe, gungy, funky exotic fruits all smooshed up into a slurry and aged in a damp hessian sack with a fistful of mottled old thruppeny bits. The kind of fruits you wouldn't dream of putting anywhere near your mouth in real, physical life, but in whisky form are actually scrumdiddlyumptious.
