A Visionary Collection
Mr. Dave Broom, Whisky Geek Master
Mr. Dave Broom came to China from Scotland for a private event hosted by inner circle Whisky Geek members. When explaining the rare value of Dual Capacity Flora & Fauna Reserve Cask Private Collection to the geeks & collectors, he said:

Awakening the Geek Community Through Resonation
Global whisky ICONs have been deeply rooted in the hearts of whisky geeks and collectors, such as generations inspired by Flora & Fauna collections. Due to cultural background differences, drinkers and collectors in Asia over the past century have based their understandings on value of ICON whiskies on those of their mainstream European and North American counterparts. Now more than ever, this Dual Capacity Flora & Fauna Reserve Cask Private Collection brings the perspective from the abstract background to the concrete forefront, awakening the resonance of geek collectors today and bringing the ICON back to life.

Sherry whisky lover Mr. BaiCheng Zou (Whisky Geek & Collector) gave affirmation and high evaluation


GEEK's Sherry
The big, boisterous Blair Athol demands attention from whisky geeks, with its vibrant, rich, sophisticated and elegant Sherry oak character. Therefore it goes by the term "GEEK’s Sherry".
Cask No.: 0001



A distinguished flowery Speyside malt
A distinguished Speyside malt with full embodiment of fruit and flower characteristic coated in complexity & depth. Linkwood’s unique 75 hour fermentation process and slow distilling to maximize copper conversation make for a thick texture which slows the whisky down to allow for enough time on the palate.
Cask No.: 9318



Sultry tones subsumed in its dark aromas
A combined process of partial triple distillation, worm tubs cooling, and 100% ex-Sherry maturation come together to produce something deliciously dark and mellow - quite unlike the usual fruity, fresh notes that Speyside whisky fans are accustomed to. As early as 2004, Benrinnes was highly praised in the《Malt Whisky Companion》by whisky master Michael Jackson as big, creamy, and flavorsome, perfect as a post-dinner refresher.

Futurism in a New Classic
Auchroisk is fairly new when compared to some of its ancient Speyside counterparts. Futurism is the new classic with this young distillery, which is reflected in the process of rapid mashing, quick fermentation, and rapid boiling regime. The maturation process involved in decanting ex-Bourbon matured whisky into ex-Sherry casks for a further secondary maturation makes it the first example of finishing, leaving Balvenie and Glenmorangie to be regarded as pioneers of the technique.

Distinctly Coastal
Being one of the workhorses of northern Speyside, Glenlossie distillery’s proximity to the sea lends Glenlossie a little coastal malt to its Speyside character. Glenlossie’s stills were fitted with purifier pipes which carry any heavier alcohols. It is the use of these purifiers which adds a certain oily textural quality to the spirit, while long fermentation helps to promote a grassiness in the new make.

A complex whisky impress mightily
Diageo Group has maintained a high-quality small number of OB (official bottling) boutique distilleries. Daluaine produces a heavy ‘meaty’ make in part due to long fermentation, rapid distillation, and the use of stainless steel in the condensers therefore cutting down on copper interaction. This offers a new take on the profile, with something complicatedly enticing to shape a complex, warm distillery taste.

Cask No.: 3464



A fragrant exotic grassiness
Utilizing the Hammer mill and mash filter is specific to a single operational Scottish malt distillery, installed at Teaninich. The use of technology, which was meant produce ultra-clear wort, gives a clue as to the character of Teaninich distillery: a fragrant exotic grassiness that brings to mind the beauty of harmony in East Asian green tea.

The most keen-nosed malt hunters’choice
Despite being at the center of Scotland’s whisky producing capital, Glen Spey whisky has remained hidden from all but the most keen-nosed malt hunters for over a century. There’s a purifier pipe at work which injects a pleasing light touch into the pleasant spirit adding thereby adding texture to its nuttiness.

Cask No: 2546



An Atypical Malt
An atypical malt among Speyside, Mannochmore was built in 1971. It is subject to loyalty to original taste - a light style without an oily background under its direct expressive way often results in clean and dry character.
