Birthday Blend 10 Year Old TBWC 10th Birthday Series Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) 50cl, 46%

Description

Birthday Blend 10 Year Old TBWC 10th Birthday Series Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) 50cl, 46% is a small-batch blended Scotch whisky created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of That Boutique-y Whisky Company. Bottled in 2022 at 46% ABV with a 10-year age statement, it is a 100% Scotch whisky and forms part of the brand’s 10th Birthday series.

What makes this release especially interesting is the blend itself. TBWC states that it is made from just two casks: one immensely characterful 25-year-old Islay single malt and one bright, buttery 10-year-old first-fill bourbon cask Edinburgh grain whisky. That combination gives it a style that balances smoke, sweetness, fruit, and spice in a way that feels playful but still properly layered. The point about balance is an inference based on the published recipe and tasting notes.

This is very much a celebratory Boutique-y release rather than a standard ongoing blend. Most reviewed retailer and database sources list the outturn at 350 bottles, although Master of Malt lists 300 bottles, so I would treat 350 as the more commonly reported figure while noting that there is a source discrepancy.

Why Choose Birthday Blend 10 Year Old TBWC 10th Birthday Series Batch 1

This is a cleverly composed anniversary blend that offers more personality than a standard blended Scotch. It combines mature Islay malt, buttery grain whisky, a proper 10-year age statement, and a small-batch Boutique-y identity in a very approachable 46% format.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has stronger collector appeal than a typical blended Scotch because it marks TBWC’s 10th anniversary and comes in the brand’s graphic-led celebratory series. The official label concept is a riff on Blended Whisky #1, with the planet turned into a birthday cake topped with 10 candles, which adds extra charm for Boutique-y fans who enjoy the packaging as much as the liquid.

The batch size also adds to its appeal. Even allowing for the bottle-count discrepancy between sources, this is clearly a relatively small release, and that gives it more interest for collectors of boutique independent bottlings and anniversary editions. The statement about collector appeal is an inference based on the anniversary theme, branding, and reported outturn size.
