Vellichor, n – the scent of second-hand bookshops

‘Vellichor’ is a new word and refers to the aromatic atmosphere withinsecond-hand bookshops. For this project, we have combined complex and impressively mature whiskies from renowned distilleri es, as well as parcels of blends that have been aged for many years in ex-Sherry butts, to encapsulate this unique fragrance.

Hints of leather, polished furniture and the crackling dustiness of decades-old pages on the nose. The palate is stack ed with sumptuous malty notes, tropical fruit and Sherry character, with a delicate but persistent peatiness.
