The new release, called Label 5 Gold Heritage has been designed for Scotch fans keen to explore the brand’s whisky in “more depth”.

Crafted by Label 5 master blender Graham Coull, Label 5 Gold Heritage is blended from various whiskies, including malts that have been aged for more than 20 years.

Its flavour profile is described as smoky and peated with creamy vanilla notes from the grain whiskies used, as well as subtle woody hints and spicy notes.

“Label 5 Gold Heritage is a personal achievement for me,” commented Coull.

“Building on the traditions of Lavel 5 I have hand-selected whiskies from different ages and casks which marry together to produce a wonderfully balanced blend.

“The result is an exceptionally smooth whisky loaded with fruit, spice, warm vanilla oak and subtle smoke, which offers a unique taste experience.”
