The highly-anticipated Flaviar Awards of 2022 have been announced. The results are in and it seems that in 2021, our community especially loved drams like an up-and-coming Danish Whisky, a classic triple-matured Irish Single Malt, and a premium Rum for Whisky lovers. Let’s meet all of the contenders, shall we?
The GlenAllachie 15 Year Old is a flavorful Scotch Whisky that’s carefully crafted in the Speyside style. Finished in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry puncheons and hogsheads, we love to savor it neat. Stauning Kaos Danish Whisky could be described as a controlled chaos blend of fine Danish Single Malt, peated Single Malt, and malted Rye Whiskies. Brugal 1888 Rum is a Rum every Whisky lover will adore for its dry and refined notes. This blend features Rums aged from 5 to 14 years in American white oak casks, and finished matured in first-fill Sherry oak casks. Yellowstone Select Bourbon presents itself as a rich and flavorful blend of 4 sourced Kentucky Bourbons from a legendary Beam family. And finally, Bushmills 16 Year Old Single Malt, an absolutely classic Single Malt triple- matured in American Bourbon barrels, Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts, and Port pipes.
With this bundle, you can compare your taste buds with other Flaviaristas or simply stock up on a unique collection of fine, premium Spirits that’s bound to elevate your home bar.
