Extra Special

Back in November 2006 we began the process of selecting our Extra Special Spirits range. It was essential that we concentrated on using only the very best products and ingredients to develop the best spirits possible for our customers.

After almost a year in development, and as a result of an exciting and challenging adventure, we are now proud to offer a collection of products that are worthy of inclusion to the ASDA Extra Special range.

Our quest for excellence led us to the chilly extremes of Iceland for the purest water, to the sunny coast of France to select the stylish 'Oslo' glass bottle, and to Portugal for our heat shrink seals which are hand applied and hand finished on our production line in the equally exotic Chorley! All so that you can enjoy only the very best spirits courtesy of ASDA.

Packed full of character, our 12 year old whisky combines a unique roundness and smoothness of flavour.

The journey to this 12 year old blended whisky took us to the Highlands of Scotland.

It was there that the Master Blender specially selected a range of fine single malt whiskies from the Highland and Speyside regions of Scotland, each contributing uniquely to the flavour; aromatic Highland elements such as floral scents and spicy notes fused with rich and fruity Speysides tones, which also bring notes of chocolate toffee and barley sugar.

The blender then selected grain whiskies to produce a lighter style of whisky contributing a balanced firmness and freshness to the blend. After quietly marrying the malt and grain whiskies the result is an exceptional blend with a rich, sweet and mellow flavour.
