Description
Keith Bonnington is one of those people for whom whisky is the elixir of life. Based in Edinburgh, he bottles the finest whiskies under the name The Whisky Cellar. He is assisted by an experienced team of tasting professionals. The latest seven bottlings, some of which have undergone elegant final maturation, demonstrate that this combined expertise and refined palates pay off.
The latter is especially true of the Pintail series, with which the bottler specializes in non-Scottish and unusual wine-cask-finished Scottish whiskies. The Pintail Indiana Rye Whiskey 6 yo owes its notes of caramelized pecans and apricots to an Oloroso finish. Finished in a Marsala cask, the Pintail Blair Athol 12 yo is fruity, ripe, and peppery, while the Pintail Teaninich 15 yo, after a stay in a French fortified wine cask, balances mint tea and exotic fruits.
