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


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…

The Yoichi 10yo is a real gem for all the peo­ple who love east­ern whisky. In the Single Malt World Cup 2005 this whisky was selected the best with con­testers from Scot­land, Ire­land, and Japan.


Yamazaki Single malt Cask 1990

Single malt from Japan on a sherry butt and Span­ish oak. Great body with lots of wine, choco­late and sherry. Had a really beau­ti­ful color of mahogany. Needs lots of water!

Small casks, Swedish oak and stor­age in Bodås…


Dalmore 12 Years

This new 12 year old is very impres­sive even by Dalmore’s high standards.

Nose: Out­wardly flat­tish, but time and patience reveals life beyond the sherry — hints of cherry and oak.
Palate: Mouth-filling and chewy. Lots of cream…


Glengoyne 17 Years

A very highly rated whisky, com­ing top of the pops in a num­ber of expert blind tast­ings in the past. At 17 years old the whisky has ben­e­fited from greater expo­sure to the cask and the mature char­ac­ter­is­tics that this…


Caol Ila 18 Years

Extra age­ing has calmed the impact of the phe­nols, with the peat arriv­ing on the palate late, and tem­pered by smooth oak. A very mel­low, mature Islay malt.
