Turntable Blended “Collaboration Drop 01” – 46%

Turntable is the new star in the blended whisky sky – Starward takes whisky to new horizons. Now the innovative Scottish blending house and the progressive Australian distillery meet on a latitude on the beach: Turntable x Starward – Collaboration Drop 01 is the first bottling in the new Collaborations series.

Turntable’s mission is to give the underrated category of blended whiskies a strong voice with perfectionism and transparency. Always with the aim of composing a harmonious blend that breaks with conventional expectations. To achieve this, the company founded by Alasdair “Ally” and Gordon Stevenson also looks beyond the Scottish distillery horizon. To Australia, for example.

Together with Starward, a blended whisky was created that emphasises the character of the Australian single malt from Melbourne, which is typically matured in red wine casks, while also taking it to new dimensions.

This is achieved by combining it with maritime Islay smoke from Caol Ila, older grain whisky from North British and mineral Speyside single malt from Inchgower.

The result combines campfire smoke in a sea breeze with notes of red berries, the spices of cigar boxes and coconut.

Two worlds also come together in the design. The brilliant union is emphasised by fluorescent ink on the label.
