WOVEN EXPERIENCE N.13 CATALYST Married in a Refill Sherry Butt & Peated Hogshead Cask Scotland, Blended Whisky, 47.1%, 500ml Marrying period: 45 days Woven’s approach to whisky-making is itself a blend of different influences. There’s the chance encounters, inspiring anecdotes, connections with passionate makers, and introductions to friends of friends. There’s the inspiration from elements within and well outside the world of whisky. There’s the resurrection of some obsolete and forgotten traditions and techniques. And the creation of a few new ones. All of these influences converge in their tiny studio in Leith. And they guide the decisions made each day as they work to change perceptions of what blended whisky can be. Six components went into Experience N.13 including single grain whisky, organic highland grain and several other well-known single malt and grain distilleries. Blended on the 24th of October 2022 and married together in both a Refill Sherry Butt and Peated Hogshead Cask for a period of 45 days, N.13 has been named “Catalyst”. “An experience with its own energy. There is action here. Liquid alive. An arrangement of flavours imparting a sense of transformation. A daring dance of emotion in motion. Fermentation and maturation. A living highball, weirdly swirling with energy. You’re moving too, from bystander to participant. This is experience N.13 and you have become it. Causation + Reaction = A Conversation.” Nose: Oily, earthy, and chocolate. Palate: Milk chocolate, dark fruits, and spice. Finish: Chocolate, brine, and oak.
