Selected from a small number casks that are combined and then bottled at their natural strength, without dilution, this is the 10th edition of Glengoyne's Cask Strength series. With no added water, the flavours are highly concentrated, with the distillery's character of apple fruitiness front and centre,  joining vanilla custard and toffee. At 59.5%, the spicy tones of the wood are elevated, mellowing with a few drops of water to taste.

This exceptional single cask whisky from Bruichladdich, bottled exclusively for New Zealand, offers a truly unique tasting experience. A careful blend of concerto and propino barley, it has been matured for 8 years in second-fill French oak barrels. The result is a whisky that beautifully balances the influence of the wood with the natural character of the barley.

Tasting Note: A new world crafted whisky, drawn from uncharted waters and forged by the architects of tomorrow. Its character both the essence and the reflection of the land of its birth.
Tasting notes: Poached pears, vanilla custard and Anzac biscuits.
Cask Type: Virgin French Oak.
Grain Type: New Zealand Laureate.

"Since 1815, each Laphroaig Distillery Manager has been the custodian of the craft to make the richest single malt in the world. Over the years, each has passed on their skills and traditions to the next generation to continue this legacy. To honour this passing of knowledge, our Distillery Manager John Campbell has created Laphroaig Lore, the richest ever Laphroaig. Lore, meaning the passing of a skill or tradition through word of mouth, is the story of how we make Laphroaig, encapsulating the craft passed down from generation to generation over two centuries. ‘Lore’ is a marriage of classical Laphroaig styles and many ages of Laphroaig; some as old as vintage 1993. 

The marriage draws from the peaty power of Laphroaig with the smoothness of double matured stock finished in European oak hogsheads. Let us share with you the crafts behind this stunningly complex expression. To create Lore we used both American oak and European oak. The former smaller barrels give the strong rich peaty flavours and a longer maturation for the large European Hogsheads until all the deep complexities are slowly released from the wood. Stored in our old dunnage warehouse beside the Atlantic the briny sea air replaces the ‘Angels share’ in the barrels over the ‘long sleep’."

Whisky explorers searching for a glimpse into the spirit of BenRiach distillery have the chance to experiment with this emerging Speyside single malt in its most non-diluted form, with the release of BenRiach Cask Strength Batch 2. Following on from the successful release of Cask Strength Batch 1, BenRiach distillery Master Blender Rachel Barrie has hand-picked a small selection from 2006, 2007 and 2008 to create this rich, smooth, triple-cask matured expression.

This single malt continues BenRiach's reputation for rich, innovative cask maturation by combining cask strength whisky matured in bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry casks and virgin oak hogsheads. It has a richer and smoother taste profile to its award-winning predecessor, BenRiach Cask Strength – Batch 1, which won a Silver Outstanding award at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2016.

A variation of Kura The Whisky blended malt whisky, which has enjoyed a finishing period in casks that previously held rum. We're rather fold of rum cask finished whiskies, as they help to bolster any lip-smacking fruit notes - and that's exactly what has happened here.

Distilled in 2009, this 12-year-old Glendullan has been aged first in Bourbon casks and then in Côte-Rôtie casks from the Rhone Valley in France. Expect some clean vanilla and green apples from the Bourbon, matched with red fruit notes from the red wine cask.

Bottled at 52%, this slightly reduced single malt expresses the full potential of its aromatic profile. Similar to the 43% version, its character reveals a more pungent side with fruity notes of apple, apricot and ripe fruits. On the palate, the rougher texture is light and silky, and highlights greedy aromas of honey, vanilla and cocoa. On the finish, spices will make their appearance with notes of pepper and nutmeg.
