It combines malts from all 28 of Diageo’s operational single malt distilleries at the time, making this an unusual and highly appealing addition to any whisky shelf. Rather than focusing on one particular regional style, this expression celebrates variety, balance, and the art of bringing different whisky personalities together.

A Remarkable Range of Flavours in Every Pour

This is a whisky for drinkers who enjoy discovering something new with every sip. The nose opens with a pleasing mix of rich malt, gentle sweetness, and fresh citrus. As the whisky develops in the glass, deeper notes begin to appear, bringing together nutty warmth, soft chocolate, dry oak, and a touch of zest.

• Rich and inviting: Full-bodied malt notes create a satisfying foundation.
• Sweet and balanced: Hints of gentle sweetness soften the higher strength.
• Nutty and warming: Almond-like and toasted flavours add depth.
• Bright and refreshing: Citrus zest brings lift and energy to the profile.
• Dry and complex: A subtle dryness gives the finish structure and keeps the whisky engaging.
• Chocolate-toned: Darker notes add richness without overwhelming the fresher flavours.

High Strength, Excellent Flexibility

At 57.3% ABV, Collectivum XXVIII is bottled at a robust strength that preserves its flavour and gives you plenty of choice when serving. Enjoy it neat to experience its full intensity, or add a few drops of water to open the aromas and reveal softer layers. It also works beautifully over ice for a slower, more relaxed drink.

The generous strength makes this bottle excellent value. A small measure can deliver plenty of flavour, while the whisky’s versatility allows it to suit different preferences. Whether you favour bold and concentrated drams or lighter, more aromatic pours, this expression can be adjusted to match the moment.
