If you are starting a whiskey collection, experts recommend checking out tips to narrow down the labels and releases worth collecting. While on the hunt, explore collaborative blends like The Glenturret x Jaguar, known as the Jaguar C-Type, which boasts a highly limited production run with a captivating backstory.
True whiskey aficionados can easily be identified by the fascinating insights they share about the spirits they enjoy. The partnership between The Glenturret x Jaguar is a nod to the automotive world, a trend that has gained popularity over time. This collaboration pays homage to the legendary Jaguar C-Type, one of the most coveted sports cars, with original models fetching astronomical prices at auctions. The exclusive bottles of single-malt Scotch whiskey mirror the prestige of this iconic vehicle.
Aged a minimum of 32 years, the whiskey in these decanters was carefully selected from five casks, including Oloroso sherry-seasoned European oak hogshead casks and Pedro Ximenez sherry-seasoned American oak hogshead barrels. The blend offers rich fruit flavors, aromatic spices, sweet vanilla, and hints of light oak, creating a truly unique tasting experience.
Whiskey maker Bob Dalgarno describes the tasting notes as a delightful mix of sweet ginger, cinnamon, treacle, sultanas, apple, vanilla, and oak. The palate evolves with wood spices, ginger cake, dates, and raisins, with subtle hints of liquorice and a sweet aromatic finish. The Jaguar C-Type whiskey is a limited edition release, with only 220 bottles available.
