UK. Pendulum Spirits-owned whisky brand Fable has rolled out the final instalment of its episodic Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay Collection in global travel retail.
Now available in Avolta-owned World Duty Free priced at £40 (US$51), Six Sons comes with a limited-edition mixed case featuring six unique labels and a specially commissioned artist’s print.
The launch is being supported by a promotional activation in London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2, in partnership with the travel retailer.
Fable’s Batch 6 is a limited release of 9,000 bottles, featuring a non-chill filtered, naturally coloured 8 Year Old blended malt whisky with an ABV of 46.5%.
The expression embodies the core Fable essence, merging compelling narratives, illustrations and whiskymaking.
Six Sons was matured in ex-bourbon barrels and hogshead casks, resulting in a well-balanced blended malt with a sweet, spiced finish.
The latest batch features artwork created by London-based illustrator and animator Hugo Cuellar – customers purchasing a bottle of the blended malt will receive a limited-edition print. A special Six Sons gift box has also been introduced for Fable enthusiasts.
Fable Whisky Marketing Director Calum Lawrie said: “We wanted to round off the series with something special and an appropriate and natural extension to the original story and product offering.
“We love Six Sons – the wonderful blend of malts giving a hint of mashed bananas, molasses and a the linger of spice and fresh orange peel – but also its stunning visual impact; artwork we now know people want to take home with them and enjoy. We are getting lots of enquiries about our next Fable story and we are really excited to say it is coming soon, watch this space.” ✈
