UP Regents Whisky Essence 20 ml

UP Regents Whisky Essence 20 ml

Picture the smooth, luxurious blended whisky – and then turn everything up a couple of notches. More depth, more fruit, more time in the glass. UP Regents is the Ultra Premium version of our popular Regents, created for those moments when the whisky is not an accompaniment but the main event itself. Where the original is bright and honey-sweet, this one is darker in tone: the honey has become forest honey, the fresh apples have been baked in the oven and joined by raisins, figs and dried apricots.

The result is a whisky with weight and dignity, yet still without the smoke and roughness that put so many people off. It is a bottle to bring out when the guests have left and only those closest to you remain, or when an ordinary Tuesday needs a little gilding.

Colour & Appearance

The whisky takes on a deep, dark golden hue with touches of copper and mahogany – like dark honey or burnished amber. Slow, dense legs form in the glass, hinting at a full body.

Nose

The nose is rich and many-layered. Raisins, dried figs and apricot come first, bedded in dark honey and vanilla pod. Then follow oven-baked apples with cinnamon, toasted hazelnuts and walnuts, and a soft note of butter toffee and brown sugar. There is something herbal and elegant here too – heather, dried flowers and a hint of orange peel. The smoke is barely more than a whisper.

Palate

In the mouth the whisky is dense, soft and enveloping. Dark honey and dried fruit lead the way, followed by apple cake, pears in syrup and creamy vanilla. The mid-palate is nutty and creamy with praline, butter toffee and dark chocolate, while cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of ginger provide quiet spice. A fresh herbal note balances the sweetness. The texture is velvety from start to finish – full, round and entirely without edges.

Finish

The finish is remarkably long. Dried fruit, dark honey and toasted nuts stay with you for several minutes, while toasted oak, cocoa and a last warming spiciness slowly fade away.

How to Use

The essence is mixed with vodka or neutral spirit and can be enjoyed straight away. 20 ml makes 750 ml of finished whisky. Instructions are on the label.

Serving Suggestions

• Neat in a tasting glass with a few drops of water – let it stand a while and open up.
• With one large, clear ice cube in a heavy tumbler.
• With dark chocolate, dried figs and toasted nuts.
• With a well-ripened hard cheese or a creamy blue cheese and honey.
• In a quiet Old Fashioned where the depth of the whisky can speak for itself.

About the Essence

The UP range is our highest quality level, and UP Regents shows what that means in practice: more layers of flavour, a denser structure and a finish that lasts considerably longer. The difference from a simpler whisky is most noticeable when it is drunk neat, with no ice or mixer to lean on.

Choose UP Regents when you want to offer the very best, or to give a present to someone who appreciates soft, fruity whisky. The essence is also available in 50 ml, 280 ml, 1000 ml and 25 litres.
