Distilled and matured at the brand’s grain distillery in Central Scotland and aged for over three years in first fill ex-Bourbon casks, the launch heralds an exciting new chapter for Label 5, which is one of the world’s top ten best-selling Scotch whiskies.
Bottled in 70cl at 40% ABV, Label 5 Bourbon Barrel, retails at £20 and is available in 191 Asda stores nationwide.
Smooth and well-balanced, in keeping with Label 5’s house style, delicious flavours of vanilla and oak provide the backbone to Bourbon Barrel’s subtle fruity character.
The whisky is delicious served on the rocks or as part of a cocktail, including the iconic Old Fashioned or a simple whisky and cola.Using time honoured traditions, the spirit is crafted in Scotland’s only fully integrated site to feature a grain distillery, warehouses, bottling facilities and a state-of the art approach to sustainability.
Jamie Stewart, UK Commercial Director, LMB UK said: ‘The UK launch of our first single grain whisky is a really exciting time for Label 5 and showcases the expertise and craftmanship that goes into making our globally acclaimed blends. We are confident that Bourbon Barrel will be a welcome addition to our range and a firm favourite amongst UK whisky drinkers.’
