Just ahead of the Whisky Show, The Whisky Exchange launched three limited-edition bottlings of its Ben Nevis, Ledaig and Invergordon brands based around the future of whisky, which is also the theme of the 2018 show. To reflect the theme of the show, each bottle boasts a lenticular label to convey depth and movement, marking a design first for the whisky industry.
While the 21-year-old Ben Nevis single malt dubbed 'Past Future' is based around the idea that "what we thought the future would be in the past," the Present Future' Ledaig single malt offers a look ahead to a potential vision for the future. The final bottling in the trio is 'The Future,' a 44-year-old Invergordon single grain whisky.
This themed trio of products will be available to sample at the 10th-anniversary show, as well as purchase through The Whisky Exchange Shop.
