Ardbeg Rollercoaster

On Feb­ru­ary 15th Ard­beg Roller­coaster will be made avail­able through the Ard­beg site. It is a vat­ting of 10 casks, one from each year between 1997 and 2006, put together co cel­e­brate the tenth anniver­sary of the Ard­beg Com­mit­tee. It…

This is a new pack­ag­ing of the islay’s ‘medium-peated’ malt. It has a clear iodine char­ac­ter with lots of pep­per and yet the malt is bal­anced and smooth as well as smoky.


Ardbeg 10 Years

Ard­beg Ten Years Old is a very spe­cial bot­tling for the Ard­beg dis­tillery as it is the first non-chill fil­tered whisky in the Ard­beg range. Chill fil­ter­ing isn‘t a bad thing, in fact it cre­ated real con­sis­tency of prod­uct when…

Replac­ing the now extinct 10 year old is this sump­tiously pack­aged 12 year old ver­sion of the triple-distilled Low­land. Hap­pily they’ve improved on the 10, being richer, spicier and with more sherry influence.

Rich and grapey Glen­morangie with lots of fruit and vanilla. Highly rated by Dave Broom.


Glen Ord 25 YO

Full of flavour and very appetis­ing indeed, this is the sec­ond spe­cial release from the only North­ern High­lands dis­tillery to retain its own malt­ings. Matured in a mix­ture of Amer­i­can and Euro­pean Oak casks, there are only 3600 num­bered bottles…


Laphroaig 40 YO, 1960

Photo of Laphroaig 40 YO, 1960

Pro­duced using dis­till­ing meth­ods first estab­lished in 1815, Laphroaig 40 Year Old was laid down by the only lady dis­tillers and dis­tillery own­ers, Bessie Williamson. Known and respected for her vision and love of Laphroaig, Bessie used Euro­pean oak to…


Laphroaig 25 YO

Here’s the new large batch Laphroaig, unex­pect­edly bot­tled at 40%. A bit strange when you know the dif­fer­ence that just 3 more per­cents can make to the reg­u­lar 10yo. This is a very mel­low taste with pretty del­i­cate peat, some…


Laphroaig 15 YO

The dis­tillers describe this whisky as “Mildly smoky, with sweet, warm under­tones — and just a hint of the sea.” Always bot­tled in lim­ited quan­ti­ties and replaced by the 18 year old in March 2009. Faintly salty. Laphroaig 15yo is…


Balblair Sherry Cask 17 Years

Photo of Balblair Sherry Cask 17 Years

Yel­low and Amber with amon­til­lado sherry hue with a nose of Diges­tive bis­cuits and sweet soda bread. Fresh and youth­ful. The palate is won­der­ful. Lemon meringue pie. Sweet. Engag­ing.
To con­clude it, a real beauty from this ever popular…
