Turntable Spirits Launches Track 6: All My Life

Turntable Track 06, Blended Scotch Whisky

Glasgow whisky blender’s latest release pays homage to its distilling heritage – and rock royalty.

Small-batch whisky blender Turntable Spirits has announced the launch of Track 6, the latest addition to its music-inspired range. Named after FooFighters’ 2002 hit All My Life, the new release continues Turntable’s tradition of marrying musical heritage with whisky experimentation.

Track 6 is a testament to the Stevenson brothers’ extensive industry experience, showcasing their deep understanding of spirit distillation and blending artistry. Uniquely, the blend features whiskies from distilleries the pair have worked with in the past, creating a product that connects past to present.

Ally Stevenson, Turntable co-founder and blender:

“It’s fair to say Track 6 is our most personal blend yet.” “We aren’t just making a nod to our past, we’re reflecting on where we’ve been, what we’ve learned along the way, and the direction of travel.”

“I like to think we’ve produced a dram that is greater than the sum of its parts, while also showcasing just what makes those distilleries special.”

Turntable co-founder Gordon Stevenson also went on to say,

“As with our previous releases, we wanted to create a blend that not only pays homage to a great song but also encapsulates our journey in whisky so far,”

“A lot of whiskies are about looking back and savouring what has gone before, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. We wanted to do something different – evoke a taste of times gone by while also bringing a modern twist. We’re especially excited about the unique combination of casks we’ve used, which gives Track 6 its distinctive character and depth.”

Approximately 2,200 bottles of Track 6 will be released, with a recommended retail price of £69. All My Life is available from specialist retailers in multiple markets including the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands, with plans to expand to France, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, South Korea, and Japan in the near future.

Since launching last spring, Turntable has released nine well-received blended whiskies internationally. In addition to Tracks 1 to 5, named after songs by the likes of Biffy Clyro and Blondie, the independent bottler dropped a collaboration blend with Melbourne distillery Starward late last year. Its core range, meanwhile, swept all the top awards at the 2024 Spirits Business Scotch Whisky Masters, with two earning the highest Gold Master accolade (Bittersweet Symphony and Smokin’ Riff) and the other(Paradise Funk) awarded a Gold rating.
