Bowmore 12 Years

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.

Laphroaig 25 YO / Cask Strength

This is a new cask-strength bot­tling of Laphroaig 25yo. The whisky is a very dif­fer­ent beast to the old 25yo. It has a rich and smoul­der­ing taste, with a big coal hit and a lin­ger­ing sea­weed char­ac­ter. Lovely stuff

Laphroaig 18 Year Old

This 18 year old expres­sion (which is replac­ing the much-loved 15yo) of Laphroaig is made in lim­ited quan­ti­ties each year and savoured by a for­tu­nate few. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets you when you first open…

Clynelish 14 Years

A delight­fully com­plex spicy and per­fumed nose, with some flo­ral and malty hints. 

The palate is multi-layered too, with some slight cit­rus hints on a honey back­ground with peat and deli­cious spices before a honey fin­ish with a trace of brine.

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.
