Callum Designs, a design studio founded by Ian Callum, continues to innovate outside of the automotive realm, this time by releasing an all-new whiskey dubbed the 'Callum 529 by Annandale.' The premium spirit is an upeated whiskey that has been aged in bourbon American Oak barrels, which serve to provide the expression with a sweet and creamy undertone.
Overall, the new whiskey delivers a particularly complex flavor profile that blends multiple flavors and aromas including toffee, cinnamon, salted caramel, and chocolate -- all sweet notes that are balanced by low tannins, which provide a subtle astringency.
What's more, the Callum 529 by Annandale comes in a striking bespoke ceramic blue bottle that features a subtle rippled texture and natural cork stopper.
