Early Days Batch 002
Early Days 002 introducerades i april 2016. Det är en blandning av både rökig och orökt bourbonlagrad whisky från 130-lietrsfat gjord av 100 % klassisk pilsnermalt

Pilsnermalten dominerade whiskyindustrin innan moderna och mer effektiva kornsorter utvecklades. Två tredjedelar av den ingående whiskyn är rökig. Malten har torkats med torv från Skottland. Whiskyn är trots sin ungdom påfallande välbalanserad och mogen och fick ett mycket gott mottagande av den internationella publiken. Early Days-serien var de första utgåorna någonsin för den internationella marknaden. Serien togs fram i samband med att Box Whisky introducerades i Frankrike. Whiskyn exporterades främst till Frankrike, Tyskland och England. Buteljeringarna såldes även i begränsad omfattning i gränshandeln.

The bourbon cask is manufactured by Speyside Cooperage in quarter cask size using 130-140 litres of newly emptied bourbon barrels (200 litre)
Up until October 2014, the cask was stored in a damp warehouse and lost a great deal of its alcohol strength. From October 2014 till April 2016, the cask has been stored in a drier environment in Box warehouse No 3.
On the 4th of April 2016, 1236 kg of whisky with an average alcohol content of 58.9% was added to a blending tank.
Alcohol content was adjusted to 51.5% at the time of bottling.
Early Days Batch 002 was bottled on 6th April 2016 in a batch of 2000 bottles. The remaining whisky was put back into newly emptied quarter casks at 51.5% ABV. The whisky was distributed mainly to France, Germany, Denmark and Australia. The remaining bottles were reserved for fairs, events and tastings.
To allow it to deliver maximum enjoyment, we recommend that Early Days Batch 002 is allowed to breathe in the glass for a time.
Feel free to add a few drops of water to enhance the aromas in the glass.
