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.

Auchentoshan 12 Years

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.

Talisker 175^th Anniversary

To com­mem­o­rate Talisker distillery’s 175^th anniver­sary in 2005 a spe­cial, lim­ited edi­tion expres­sion of the Skye single malt was issued by Dia­geo. Talisker 175 car­ries no age state­ment and con­sists of a release of 60,000 bot­tles world­wide. It is largely…

Lagavulin 16 Years

Lagavulin takes its water from the Solum Lochs, con­tribut­ing some of the whisky’s peati­ness. Malt peated with 35ppm of phe­no­lic flavour com­pounds passes this flavour into the spirit. The malt is ground, washed sev­eral times with hot water which is…

Macallan 12 YO

One of the most sell­ing and pop­u­lar bot­tle for Macallan. The whisky is blended from more than 50 dif­fer­ent Macallan casks, most are Span­ish sherry casks fist fills. Some of the casks are older than 12 years.

Macallan Fine Oak 10 YO

The Macallan Fine Oak is a triple cask which means the the whisky is matured on three dif­fer­ent oak casks, Span­ish sherry, Amer­i­can sherry and bour­bon casks. This process cre­ates a unique Macallan char­ac­ter with a lightly and dryer character…

Oban Distillers Edition

“The founders of Oban dis­tillery were entre­pre­neurs who imported and exported goods for which they could sense a demand. They would have approved of the Span­ish influ­ence brought to bear in this sec­ondary cask fin­ish. Deep gold in appear­ance. Sweeter…

Glengoyne 12 Years

Nose

A lit­tle faded with touches of autumn leaves, bung cloth, unripe mango, (bread crust on a Scot­tish plain loaf). Alco­hol in bal­ance. With water there’s more overt oak and a hint of con­densed milk.

Palate

Dense and full but…

Auchentoshan 21 Years

A deli­ciously smooth, mel­low long-aged Auchen­toshan. A sophis­ti­cated and well-balanced dram to savour slowly after a good meal.

Bunnahabhain 12 Years

A very lightly-peated malt that serves as per­haps the mildest intro­duc­tion to the Islay style. Flo­ral and fruity tones dom­i­nate with the peat influ­ence in the back­ground. The main base for the splen­did ‘Black Bot­tle’ blend. Gen­tle and smooth with…
