Leith Export
Co. has expanded its whisky offering
with the release of Perpetuity Batch #2,
a Scotch blended whisky and Table
Whisky, a single grain whisky.
 The commercial trading arm of Lind &
Lime and Port of Leith products, known
as The Leith Export Co., has recently
broadened its product range. They've
introduced a second batch of Perpetuity
blended Scotch whisky and Table whisky,
a novel single grain bottling.
These fresh additions expand the array
of spirits that The Leith Export Co.
offers, which already includes the
distinctive Lind & Lime London dry gin,
La Garde Écossaise champagne, and a
selection of sherries and ports from
Port of Leith. The port selection
consists of White and Tawny Ports, along
with PX, Oloroso, and Manzanilla
Sherries.
Perpetuity, one of the new whiskies,
draws inspiration from the infinity
bottle concept, combining whiskies from
various regions across Scotland to
create an ongoing blend. Packaged in a
modern wine-inspired bottle, the label
narrates the tale of Henry Douglas, a
Leith cooper from the 15th Century,
known as the 'Cursed Cooper.'
Sam Travers, Whisky Blender for
Perpetuity Whisky, commented: "With
Perpetuity Batch #2 we had a decision to
make: keep the original’s identity or
diverge wildly and blend it away. At
this stage, it didn’t feel like the time
for giant curveballs, so we went
somewhere down the middle.
"We had access to far more malt than we
had for Batch #1, so we could get some
new DNA into the mix while working with
the fruity, woody, sweet character of
the original. Overall, Batch #2 is big,
malty and mouth-coating with big
tropical energy."
Table Whisky, the inaugural single grain
whisky from The Leith Export Co., stands
as a cornerstone of the Port of Leith
Distillery bar, intentionally crafted
for cocktail enjoyment.
Ian Stirling, Co-Founder of Leith Export
Co., added: "Table whisky is our house
pour; our sommelier’s selection. A
single grain whisky distilled in
Edinburgh, matured in virgin oak and
sherry casks, and blended in Leith. It’s
delicious, reliable, approachable and
rich."
The introduction of the two new
bottling's follows the recent opening of
the UK's first vertical distillery, Port
of Leith. This innovative distillery,
which opened last month, offers visitors
a tour and tasting experience, along
with a top-floor mezzanine bar boasting
breathtaking panoramic views of
Edinburgh.
Perpetuity Batch #2 has been bottled at
46%, with an increased production of
3,000 bottles available for purchase
starting from November 2nd at a price of
£45. On the other hand, Table Whisky,
bottled at 43%, has an initial release
of 3,000 bottles, and will be available
for purchase starting November 7th at
£35.
Both of these new whiskies will be
available for purchase through the Leith
Export Co. website and can also be found
in-store at Lind & Lime and Port of
Leith distilleries.
