Westie Sponge Three is a 1^st fill sherry butt of 1999 Springbank. Fully matured in Campbeltown for 24 years and bottled at natural cask strength.  

This is a particularly powerful and rugged example of Springbank. Very coastal and salty, with a leathery, nutty and almost tarry sherry profile, and then layers of familiar waxiness, mineral oils and soft, background peat smoke underneath. The whole thing is drenched in distillery character and is beautifully evocative of the west highlands.

Nose: Tarred leather, smoked walnuts, aged pipe tobacco, and dried dark fruits lead into fresh salinity and classical Springbank character.

Nutty, drying, and earthy old sherry blends seamlessly with waxiness and soft, peppery peat smoke in the background.

Palate: A remarkable texture with waxy, tarry richness. Flavours of mineral oil, sandalwood, cured meats, candied citrus peels, and walnut wine evolve into coastal notes of smoked olive oil, salted almonds, and herbal peat reminiscent of eucalyptus and cough syrup.

Finish: Exceptionally long, balancing medicinal and umami elements with squid ink, ointments, tar liqueur, resinous fir wood, and camphor. The fresh, coastal aftertaste lingers gloriously.

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.

This is the second half of the same butt of Ben Nevis 1996 bottled as Edition No. 58a, only this one has been finished in a 2nd fill sherry butt for just over two years. 

A new single cask expression from GlenAllachie distillery, this expression has been selected from a single 15 year old virgin oak barrel. Fifteen years in virgin oak has resulted in a rather cask forward profile, with aromas of toasted hazelnuts and milk chocolate opening up on the nose, followed by grilled honeycomb, vanilla sponge cake and hints of fresh pineapple and crisp green apple. The palate is initially rich and sweet, with notes of butterscotch, salted caramel and drizzles of heather honey, followed by vanilla and treacle. Dry sweet spiced notes of baked cinnamon and ginger, with hints of mocha round out the finish.
