Our trusted trio of Scotch tamers had a special mission for the 25th edition of Deer, Bear & Moose: find a spectacular single-barrel offering perfect for Flaviar's first NFT-equipped release.

They flew to the island of Islay and captured a Spirit typically deemed untamed. Cask #200000127 is the one that caught their attention as they snooped around the warehouse of a Whiskymaker that's been wowing palates since 1815: an ex-Bourbon hogshead that held this mysterious Whisky for twelve years since October 2009.

The island of Islay is shrouded in a mystical mist of smokey peat, so we’ll deliberately hold the distiller’s name close to our chest. True Islay lovers, however, should recognize the character. We think the Trio brought back a gem, and we know you’ll love it.

Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
