it seems like the information on Diageo Special Releases 2017 has started to trickle out as four new labels from Diageo distilleries has popped up in the TTB database and they aren’t of the more familiar brands in their portfolio:
- Teaninich 17 Year Old (200th Anniversary) – 55.9%
- Port Dundas 52 Year Old – 46.6%, 752 bottles
- Glen Elgin 18 Year Old – 54.8%, 5352 bottles
- Blair Athol 23 Year Old – 58.4%, 5514 bottles
Update (24/4/2017) – WhiskyExperts.net has published information on more bottles in the SP17 release:
- Brora 1982 34 Year Old – 51.9%, 3000 bottles
- Port Ellen 1979 37 Year Old – 51%, 2988 bottles
- Convalmore 32 Year Old – 48.2%, 3972 bottles
- Caol Ila 18 Year Old – 59.8%
- Lagavulin 12 Year Old – 56.5%,
So far no mention of the annual Lagavulin 12/Caol Ila unpeated releases and we can be pretty sure more bottles will be added (Will we see Brora/Port Ellen this year?). The post will be updated when more information will be available.
Here are the labels from the TTB database:
