Hand selected by Keeper of the Quaich, whisky author Dr. Burkay Adalig (Meleklerin Payi), these special bottlings target the high end whisky connoiseurs and whisky collectors.

The Project W Glenturret Cask Strength and The Project W Mannochmore Cask Strength received Silver Medals at IWSC and WWA respectively.

The Project W OMAY 18 Tormore Distillery Cask Strength Single Cask is the third release of The Project W and inaugural age statement bottling.

Marking a significant milestone for the brand, this release represents the first-ever age-statement bottling in The Project W portfolio.

The name “Omay” roots from Turkic mythology; Umay (often associated with the name Omay) is the goddess of fertility & nature.

Hand selected by Dr. Burkay Adalığ, Tormore bourbon cask number 700541 was filled in 12.05.2007 and was captured at its peak after an 18 year maturation process and bottled at 60.5% by KA Spirits. As it is drawn from a single cask, The Project W OMAY 18 is a limited edition of just 115 bottles, a unique discovery for true whisky enthusiasts and collectors.

The Project W Mannochmore Tasting Notes

On the nose it is reminiscent of springtime sweetness, gentle as a breeze. It delicately combines malty notes with fresh cut grass, lemon zest, and orange juice. A nostalgic feel of Akide candies; honeyed and exuding warmth. Adding a few drops of water unveils a blooming and flowery sensation, like spring's narcissus and daisies emerging from the grass. On the palate it reveals flavors akin to lemon cheesecake, with spicy undertones of cinnamon and cloves. Its smooth, enduring finish leaves a lingering, sweet, refreshing sensation.

Hand selected by Keeper of the Quaich, whisky author Burkay Adalig (Meleklerin Payi), this special Glenturret Ruadh Maor cask yielded 288 bottles at a cask strength of 55.8%.

The Project W received SILVER medal at the 2024 International Wine and Spirits Competition.

Judges Tasting Notes: " A robust and flavourful example with peaty undertones, hints of cereal, green fruit, and earthiness. A harmonious blend of savoury and sweet notes culminating in a rich, lingering finish."

The Project W Glenturret Ruadh Maor Tasting Notes

Well balanced smokiness and sweetness on the nose. Sweet peat smoke is reminiscent of newly burnt matches. Earthy and cured meat like flavors are accompanied by vanilla, honey, subtle hint of dried figs and liquorice. It has an elegant shyness at first; patience and dilution are rewarded. A couple of drops of water and some time spent in the glass release more diverse aromas and flavours to explore. Mouth watering sweetness continues on the palate with an added pepperiness; eucalyptus and pine needles emerges from the depths. Wonderfully long, warm and spicy finish with multiple layers.
