[Quick review] Living Souls - 40 years old Blended Scotch 41.2%
First of two 40 year-old blended Scotch bottles released recently.
And the first one is from a new bottler called Living Souls. It is one of their first four bottlings, alongside a 19yo Islay (Ardbeg), an 18yo Ledaig/Tobermory and a 15yo Blended Scotch. It is bottled with no added colouring or chillfiltration, and at 41.2%. It also looks like this blend was laid down to marry in a sherry butt in 1998 so over 25 years ago!

My tasting notes:
This was a fantastic purchase, first to just be able to try some 40yo whisky, at an affordable price point, and which actually tastes great! Thank you Whisky Souls for allowing whisky drinkers to access this one!
I’ve also heard good things about the other 3 releases so might have to investigate further!
The only thing I am now wondering about, is how similar/different the Thompson Bros 40yo is going to be… Guess we’ll find out very soon!
Slàinte all!
