DIAGEO LAUNCH THE FOURTH AND FINAL BATCH OF THEIR SINGLE-CASK COLLECTION OF MALT SCOTCH WHISKIES

19 May 2010

Following the first batch launched in September, and a second collection
released in January, Diageo are now launching the fourth and final batch of
their single-cask collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies.

Following earlier batches launched in September, January and April, Diageo
are now launching the fourth and final set of their highly exclusive
single-cask collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies.
Among the seven expressions that feature in this fourth release are some
single malts familiar to many malt whisky drinkers - notably Clynelish™,
Knockando™, and the iconic award-winning Islay malt, Lagavulin™.

But Auchroisk™, Benrinnes™, Blair Athol™ and Linkwood™ normally
enjoy only very limited availability.

Each of the whiskies is drawn from one single oak cask, picked after a
careful examination of distillery stocks, and bottled at its natural cask
strength. The number of bottles obtained from the chosen casks can vary
between approximately 640 and as little as 200.

So these are rare and distinctive whiskies. Aimed at collectors and
connoisseurs, prices range from £200 to £300 per bo
