Black Rock sorts its vast collection of whisky by taste, not region. This is a massively refreshing (and labour-intensive) shift that speaks directly to our world, as well as their commitment to guest experience. We've known the guys since the early days of our respective careers (the less said about that the better!) So when the idea of a collaboration surfaced, it felt inevitable.
The blend came together in a loose, joyful session at our Leith studio. Glasses everywhere. Laughter. Flavour first, always. The result is a whisky built on texture: silky, honeyed, citrus-bright, with dark chocolate and a quiet thread of peat. A profile worthy of Black Rock’s famous table service ritual. Flavour-packed, but with room for another layer to develop in cask or table as the blend is drawn down in batches, as in bar demand dictates.
Part of the blend now rests in a PX hogshead, continuing its slow evolution. Each release will trace that gentle shift — new layers emerging, old ones deepening.
The outcome is a layered whisky that fits a modern drinker's palate. 'Golden strength' means versatile, textured, and balanced.
