“Blender’s Release” single malt whisky was inspired by a visit from our friend Dhavall Gandhi.
Two months ago, we hosted a whisky blending workshop that you mentioned in your video you were unfortunately unable to attend. Eleven fellow distillers from across the province/country gathered to hear Dhavall Gandhi, former blender at The Macallan, and current Director of Whisky with The Lakes Distillery talk blending. It was a remarkable day of camaraderie, education and inspiration.
Armed with Dhavall’s insights, Gordon, Joel and Fraser went back to the warehouse and blended a new release made from a number of different single malt casks. Blender’s Release is a nod to Dhavall, his visit, and his incredibly thoughtful approach to whisky-making.
