GLENEAGLES PARTNERS WITH THE GLENTURRET WITH NEW RELEASE
BOE GIN GROWS ITS RANGE
Gleneagles joines forces with Glenturret Gleneagles Hotel has joined forces with its neighbour, The Glenturret Distillery, to create the very first Gleneagles single malt. Daniel Baernreuther, Hotel Manager at Gleneagles, said, “We have always been committed to working with the finest Scottish food and drink producers, but when the opportunity arose to work with our close neighbours at The Glenturret to create our own limited-edition product, we jumped at the chance. “There have been so many changes over the last few years at Gleneagles. As a natural progression and evolution of our beverage and whisky program, creating our own whisky was the next logical step and because of our shared location, I feel like this is really a match made in whisky heaven.”
TAMDHU RELEASES CIGAR MALT NO 01 Tamdhu Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky has announced the global release of its Cigar Malt No. 01 - a special limited edition new bottling to celebrate an age-old pairing. Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery Manager, said, “While whisky and cigars have long been enjoyed together, we wanted our Tamdhu Cigar Malt to cement that bond with a marriage of flavour and craft befitting of the two worlds. “This whisky, exclusively matured in first fill European Oak Oloroso sherry casks, provides the perfect accompaniment to the finest cigars. That we were able to use those sherry casks to continue the legacy of the Cigar Malt through the humidor is very special indeed.” 6

Each expression is full of flavour, perfectly balanced to ensure that each note is detectable and can be enjoyed in a range of serves to suit different tastes and occasions, bringing a splash of colour and flavour to your cocktails. “Our new bottles perfectly encapsulate our brand; fun, bold and colourful, that looks great on both a bar and in a drinks cabinet. We know our customers love to be daring with both flavour and colour and will welcome our new expressions with open arms.”
