Introducing
the Prometheus 28 Year Old, the third
expression in the Prometheus series from
the Glasgow Distillery Company.
 The
Glasgow Distillery Company has announced
the launch of the third expression in
the Prometheus series.
Prometheus 28 Year Old is a limited
edition Speyside single malt whisky, a
limited release of 888 bottles at cask
strength, each bottle is individually
numbered and is presented in a premium
presentation box.
The Glasgow Distillery tell me that it
was matured in Sherry Casks and fired by
the smoky power of peat but they are
keeping tight lipped about the exact
distillery of origin of the Prometheus
28 year old.
Bottled at a cask strength of 53% ABV
they say it is a wonderfully balanced
whisky, on the nose it offers hints of
citrus with red apple and pear, leading
to biscuit caramel and warming spice. To
taste, sweet malt, raisins and walnuts
are balanced by savoury oak with subtle
dark fruit, leading to a delicate finish
with smoke and orange spice.
The launch follows the success of
Prometheus 27 year old, which was last
year awarded a highly coveted double
gold medal at the prestigious San
Francisco Spirits Competition.
Prometheus 26 year old also claimed the
gold award in the category for 'Best
Single Malt over 20 Years Old' at the
International Whisky Competition in
Chicago in 2016.
Liam Hughes, CEO and Co-Founder of
Glasgow Distillery said: "Prometheus is
a very special whisky and one we’re
proud to be able to bring to consumers.
Prometheus 28 is one of the finest
expressions in the range yet and is not
to be missed.
Only a limited number of barrels are
available of this very special spirit,
and once it’s gone, it’s gone. The smoky
notes deliver a unique flavour
experience and is the perfect dram to be
savoured."
Prometheus 28 Year Old has a RRP of £699 and is available to buy now from Glasgow
Distillery: glasgowdistillery.com.
