BATCH 7 was blended in June 2011 and is the first batch (of two) to mature in old whiskey barrels. These barrels come from various whiskey distilleries, such as Bowmore, Tamdhu, Strathspey and Laphroaig (Johnstons). The aromas of the whiskeys clearly influence the final taste. This taste differs significantly and clearly from that of the previous batches. Peat and roast are clearly present, while wood and tannins from wood are more difficult to recognize. The warming effect in combination with the full, powerful flavor that the whiskey barrels have added to the Quadrupel may make this batch the most flavorful ever.
