Quercus Alba is the Latin name for 'American white oak' and this limited edition whisky is packed with oaky flavour. During the selection process our head distiller said 'for those who like chewing on a pencil'. The heavy char on the virgin oak cask has activated rich tannins, dark toffee and deep wood flavours. We think it's a little reminiscent of the heavy tannic oak notes in American whisky. If you love oak, this release is for you. 

The liquid inside is Manuka Smoke single malt, one of our most identifiable flavour profiles and a signature of our distillery. It's made using locally grown malt that has been smoked with native Manuka wood, mashed, fermented and then double distilled through the Thomson all copper pot stills. The spirit offers an interesting black tea note along with the typical Manuka oils. 

Quercus Alba is limited to 250 bottles only.

Liquid: New Zealand Manuka Smoke single malt.

Caol Ila 2013 – 11 Year Old

Equinox & Solstice – Autumn Edition 2024

Distilled at Caol Ila | Bottled by Decadent Drinks | 2nd-Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead | 11 Years Old

Part of the Equinox & Solstice series, this autumn release from Decadent Drinks showcases a more muscular side of Caol Ila. Matured in a second-fill oloroso sherry hogshead for 11 years, it balances smoky intensity with sherry depth and coastal charm.

Expect aromas of smoky bacon and struck flint, layered with white pepper and faint hints of stewed orchard fruit. The palate is bold yet composed—earthy peat meets warm spice, followed by a long, dry finish that lingers with subtle maritime salinity.

A compelling Islay dram for those who appreciate a peated whisky with both character and finesse.
