Stories
Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.
The Whisky Shop Gets Rare Glenlivet Quercus Single Cask
April 26, 2013 – Single cask distillery bottlings of The Glenlivet are fairly rare, and The Whisky Shop’s 21 UK stores will have one starting on May 7. The Glenlivet Quercus is a 17-year-old malt matured in American white oak and bottled at 52.1% ABV.
Of course, Quercus is Latin for oak, with Quercus Alba being the specific name for American White Oak. However, that name is already in use for a single malt from The Glenrothes. 250 bottles are available exclusively through The Whisky Shop at a price of £199.99 ($309 USD).
