Whiskey Union
Huxley Rare Genus Whiskey
(0.7l,
42%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Ladies, gents and connoisseurs of all things good,... there’s a new Whiskey collective in town that’s set to surprise and please our Whiskey senses and that it does. Whiskey Union proclaim themselves as a creative collective of Whiskey makers, visionaries and hedonists in pursuit of unconventional blends and extraordinary flavor sensations. While the established brands craft the Bentleys and the Jaguars of Whiskey—which is all fine and dandy—the fellas at Whiskey Union choose to break with convention, experiment with flavor and tread on the sporty side of things; they manufacture well-tuned Ferraris, so to speak, to keep your taste buds on the edge and your belly humming.
Huxley is the third and so far the most unconventional offering of the Whiskey Union, the other two being Smoky Goat and Boxing Hares. This is a pioneering blended Whiskey drawing on the finest drams from across the globe. So, are you ready to plunge into the unknown? To tread where no taste bud has tread before? To have a brief parley with the mysterious and the wild? To taste the whole world? You’re but a sip away… Huxley—named after a famous Evolutionist—is truly a magnificent beast, a hybrid Blend of Scotch, Canadian and American Whiskey.
The mix and and balance of the most prominent and recognizable characteristics of Scotch Whisky (grassy and lemony notes, a whiff of smoke), Canadian Whisky (candied fruit flavors, vanilla and ginger notes) and American Whiskey (buttery caramel sweetness and toasty spice) is a true testament to the glorious evolution of Whisk(e)y making and its taste.
This is a truly interesting, boundary-crossing product that is intended for the new generation of more open-minded and adventurous Whisk(e)y lovers.

Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.

First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
