- Description
- Collectivum XXVIII is a blended malt drawing from all 28 Diageo-owned Scottish single malt distilleries, creating a deliberately complex whisky that showcases the full spectrum of Scottish malt character. From rich chocolate and nuttiness to bright citrus zest and dryness, the palate shifts constantly, offering something unexpected in every sip. Bottled at cask strength (57.3%), it demands water or ice to fully reveal its layered composition. A remarkable exercise in whisky blending for those curious about the breadth of Scottish distilling.
