WS:01 Borders Malt & Rye

£35.00

Boldly Blended by the Borders.

Welcome to the Workshop Series. In 2019, we distilled a small batch of rye spirit and matured it in the same fresh-fill bourbon casks as the malt, to create this remarkable and aromatic whisky. This is the first Blended Scotch Whisky to leave the Scottish Borders since 1837, and the first expression of the Workshop Series from the Borders Distillery.

Bottled without filtration. 63.8% Single Grain. 36.2% Single Malt.

Entirely distilled by the Borders Distillery. Each WS:01 Borders Malt & Rye bottle is individually numbered, and only 5,988 will ever be released for sale in the UK.

40% ABV 70cl. Please drink responsibly. Over 18s only.
