Founded in 1998 by WM. Teacher & Sons, The Ardmore distillery has continued to uphold traditionl distilling methods, using only the aromatic smoke from natural, Highland peat fires to dry its malted barley.  The Ardmore Legacy celebrates these age old traditions with a liquid that is peated yet light, sweet and uplifting.

Inspired by that interplay, Suntory Whisky Toki^™ brings together old and new -the House of Suntory's proud heritage and its innovative spirit- to create blended Japanese whisky that is both groundbreaking and timeless.

Nose: Basil, green apple, honey
Palate: Grapefruit, green grapes, peppermint, thyme
Finish: Subtly sweet and spicy finish with a hint of vanilla oak, white pepper and ginger

This unique expression from Laphroaig combines the unforgettable flavour of our 10 year old whisky with the sweet, aromatic flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks.

This marriage of casks creates a rich, full bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known and loved for.

The European oak sherry casks are carefully selected to compliment the unique and much-loved taste of Laphroaig. The additional sweetness and character of the Oloroso casks add complexity and balance to create a unique and exciting expression, but one that stays true to the character of Laphroaig.

Laphroaig has fashioned this whisky using malt from a number of different types of cask, including Oloroso Sherry butts, white American oak, Pedro Ximenez seasoned hoggies, Quarter casks and first fill bourbon casks. 

This does sport the hallmark medicinal Laphroaig qualities we all love so much but it's not packing a massive peat punch and so is a great entry whisky to the joys of Islay for someone just starting the Islay journey.

This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak.

Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic shore.

This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig’s distinctive peatiness.

On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil.

The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.

McLeod's Brewery - Our Belgian Tripel is a tribute to masters of this beer style.  A Belgian Trappist-inspired ale made with Belgian malts and distinct yeat, expect aromas of spice over layers of malt and hops married together for a rich-yet-dry mouthfeel and smooth, bready maltiness.  

Make no mistake, it is dangerously drinkable.  Bottle conditioned, so open and pour carefully.

Billycan Milk Stout pours black as night with a creamy off-white head, it boasts Tahitian vanilla & cacao nibs. Expect roast malt aroma & a luxuriant palate with delicate carbonation. Coffee & cocoa laced with vanilla & rum lead to soft liquorice notes & a full-bodied, rich, balanced bitterness for a soft, toasty finish.

Howling Wolf Pale Ale takes its name from Mangawhai’s Wolf Rock, standing tall as the swell rolls in. Bright, filtered and easy as a barefoot wander through the shallows, this is a pale ale crafted for the coast.
Juicy tropical flavours hit first, with notes of mango, pineapple and fresh citrus, before drifting into a clean, crisp finish that keeps things light and endlessly drinkable. Easy bitterness, smooth body, and made to be crushed after a surf, a swim, or a day doing sweet bugger all.
Feel the sand between your toes, and let the wolf howl.

A heavyweight in every sense. Thick, hazy and full-bodied, this triple IPA hits with bold tropical fruit, bright citrus and a deep, resinous edge. Strata, Krush and Mosaic drive layers of passionfruit, mango and juicy citrus, with a dank undertone adding depth and bite. Rich through the palate with a smooth, rounded finish that carries the weight well.
