Diageo Unveils 2023 Special Releases Scotch Whiskies

Diageo has revealed its 2023 Spirited Xchange Special Releases Scotch Whisky Collection, an annual compilation of limited-edition single malt releases.

The 2023 lineup consists of eight bottles selected by Master Blender Dr. Stuart Morrison to highlight each distillery’s characteristics with unique cask finishes.

Each of these bottles display work from one of eight artists from across the globe. The artworks are also meant as visual tasting notes.
