Produced in collaboration between Whisky Galore and the Wills family of Kilchoman, we are proud to release this special single cask exclusive for New Zealand. Selected from cask #882, this whisky was matured for an initial 5 years in an ex-bourbon barrel, before being transferred for a secondary maturation (also known as a finish) in an ex-Marsala wine cask for over a year.

To start, the aroma carries sweet tones of juicy, oven-roasted fruits and charred  caramel tart, with a sweet and sour fruit jelly. The peat smoke comes through dense and thick (especially with water added), reminiscent of a wood-fired BBQ on the sea shore, with grilled seafood skewers and a salty, coastal dryness. A lifting citrus note of home-made lemonade comes through in the finish, with the peat leaving a long-lasting, leaving a smouldering, earthen smokyness behind.

Stiùireadair ( pronounced stew-rahdur) is a tribute to the sea and its influence on their distillery and the whisky they distill.  Our blender has carefully selected casks with spirit of varying ages from our shoreside distillery warehouses, to create this distinctive dram, with its rich characterful heart, typical of Bunnahabhain.

Matured in Sherry casks, it has scents of dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla with a nutty, creamy taste and long fruity finish.

Kilchoman's highly anticipated annual 'Loch Gorm' release brings together peated spirit matured in Oloroso sherry casks, producing a signature flavour profile of sherry wood and smoke. Spicy dark chocolate and layers of rich dried fruit can be found, with a flavour akin to sticky, slightly burnt dark toffee. The fragrant peat smoke melds with these elements, with a touch of citrus oil, a distinctive character of Kilchoman's peaty style.

For Ardbeg Smoketrails Cote Rotie Edition, we’ve married classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon casks with Ardbeg matured in highly sought-after Cote Rotie wine casks from the Rhône region in southern France. 

In this full bodied, punchy spirit, grilled artichoke and peppers peer over the horizon while warm notes of camphor fade into cooling menthol.

Subtle smoked cranberry and tar fly high above before rich dark chocolate loops-the-loop into soft fondant.

The 2018 entry in Laphroaig's yearly limited edition series is one of the distillery's oldest releases yet ? a 28-year-old whisky. It's a carefully selected mixture of casks, bringing together quarter casks, ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts. It's picked up a reputation as being the best yet in the series, combining the distillery's medicinal smoke character with the fruitiness that many of its older bottles show.

With age comes more character, an incredibly balanced dram. This mature blend has complex spice, gentle peat and tobacco-like notes perfectly balanced with dried fruits and nutty undertones.

The .1?s are the backbone of each new series as they demonstrate the raw  character of the clean Octomore spirit, balanced with the modest ex-American whiskey  influence.

This new expression from Kilchoman has seen their spirit fully matured in ex-Cognac casks from Tonellerie Bossuet (France). 

These casks impart a herbaceous, sweet and spicy character that balances against the robust peat smoke character of the whisky. The palate carries a toasted oakyness, with lush fruit laced with crystalised ginger warmth.

 A tang of citrus oil lifts through the smoke and sweet wood in the finish.

An 'explosive' limited-edition whisky from Smokehead, adding in a punch of sherry character to the anonymous peaty dram. It's matured in Oloroso sherry casks, fusing the big smoke with equally big sweetness and dried fruit notes.

Palate: A superbly oily mouthfeel with orange peel, vanilla, and coriander leaf, in a cedar cigar box alongside wild root ginseng.

Finish: Long and complex with lingering pulpy stone fruit and chewy green hand-rolled tobacco.
