Diageo Special Release 2023

Special Release "Elusive Expression":
the fantastic eight by Diageo

As every year, the eagerly awaited collection of Special Release selected by Diageo has arrived.

The annual launch of Diageo's Special Release Collection is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events for whisky lovers. With more than 30 distilleries in the Diageo portfolio, Master Blender Craig Wilson has 10 million casks to draw from and can count on the top of the biggest names.

This year's collection consists of eight extraordinary whiskies, rich in flavours and ageings that redefine the concept of Cask Strength: each of them, from the richest to the rarest, offers a wide palette of contrasts, experimenting with ageing techniques that include ex-Tawny Port and ex-Red Muscat casks.
The bottles are embellished with illustrations by Ken Taylor and Kevin Tong, transporting into a world of mythological animals and legends.
