Willian Grant & Sons have announced the launch of a new travel retail exclusive range of whiskeys called 'The Perpetual Collection,' which will feature four limited-edition expressions.
All four expressions -- Vat 01, Vat 02, Vat 03, and Vat 04 -- have been made using a unique Solera Vat process, which works to continuously add layers of flavor to the spirit by only bottling half the whiskey in vats and then refilling them.
“Speaking to all of our partners about the Perpetual collection is a really exciting time. We think it is going to appeal to the evolving consumer base within travel retail," said Gwilym Cooke, head of brand marketing global travel retail at William Grant & Sons.
