Turntable Paradise Funk: A Sweet Summer Blend

Paradise Funk marks the debut of Turntable Spirits' core range—a sweet, summery blend created by brothers Alasdair and Gordon Stevenson. This funky fusion, inspired by funk music, combines six Scottish whiskies into an approachable and smooth dram perfect for newcomers and warm-weather sipping.

The blend is meticulously composed from six whiskies: Knockdhu Virgin Oak (13%), Invergordon Ex-Cognac (18%), Blair Athol Bourbon (8%), Unnamed Speyside Virgin Oak (30%), North British Virgin Oak (11%), and Benrinnes Chinkapin (20%). Bottled at 46% ABV in a 700ml format, Paradise Funk strikes a careful balance between character and accessibility, with cask types spanning Virgin Oak, Ex-Cognac, Bourbon, and Chinkapin.

On the nose, Paradise Funk reveals soft, intensely fruity aromas of ripe mandarin, apricot, and pineapple, with gentle notes of cinnamon and ginger lingering in the background. The palate unfolds with tropical fruit tones leading the way, supported by vanilla and caramel. A touch of cinnamon and peppery spice rounds out the experience, creating a wonderfully smooth and laid-back character.

This is a whisky designed for those seeking an approachable, fruit-forward dram with playful personality—ideal for social occasions and summer enjoyment.
