Benromach - Made with heavily peated barley, our Peat Smoke is more intense than the subtle smoke of our 10 Year Old's pre-1960s Speyside character.  Yet it retains the Benromach fingerprint of elegant fruitiness with that gorgeous hint of chocolate.

Sweet vanilla, honey and cured meat aromas, hints of apricot and lemon combining with a beautiful subtle tobacco note.  There’s cracked pepper with sweet strawberry and orange flavours, a delicate hint of aniseed… combined with a lingering edge of bonfire embers.

In the universe of Planet Ardbeg, the legendary purifier on the still
responsible for Ardbeg's exalted balance has disappeared! Mysterious forces are rising at the Distillery.

The balance of Ardbeg has been disrupted and an ominous dram

eucalyptus, ARDBEG HEAVY VAPOURS is an ominous dram of dramatic,
AROMATIC pungency.

This Planet Ardbeg Day, new and existing committee members are invited to step
into Planet Ardbeg and join Agent 46 to solve the mystery of the missing purifier,
helping to restore the balance before it’s too late.

The Finlaggan range features single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed Islay distillery, bottled by the Vintage Malt Whisky Company. The range has seen a few expansions in recent years - this early 2016 release has enjoyed a finishing period in port casks, resulting in yummy, wine-like sweetness blending with the smoky, coastal peat.

Part of the distillery's 2020 packacking refresh, Loch Lomond Original is the entry-level bottling from this Highlander. Elegant yet full bodied with a hint of peat.

40% ABV 

Aged for 10 years in first-fill sherry casks, this Edradour offers the distinctive flavour of dense, moist Christmas cake laden with currants, raisins and glace fruits. The palate carries a thick, bitter-chocolate sauce tone, with tangy plum joining in, finishing earthy and heavily spiced.

• Matured in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels for 12 years and finished in Oloroso Sherry casks from Jerez, Spain
• Tasting Notes: A refined succulent trpical nose with aromas of chocolate, walnut and citrus fruit coming forward. Flavours of honey, salted bananas and brown sugar, with a whisper of smoke

A reinvigorated release from Tullibardine, upping the quality of presentation as well as their whisky. This bourbon barrel matured dram is packed with vanilla and spice.

This is the core expression of 10 year old Ballechin single malt Scotch whisky, which is heavily peated whisky from Edradour. It has been named for the silent Ballechin distillery near the Edradour distillery. Releases under the Ballechin name from Edradour were previously presented as part of The Discovery Series, many of which were matured in different types of casks, including Sherry, bourbon and a selection of wine casks. This 10 year old expression, however, comes from a combination of ex-Oloroso Sherry and ex-bourbon casks.

Nose: Oily malt, whiffs of burnt ends and BBQ char, a few touches of apple and fig.

Palate: Chewy dates and oak, with smouldering peat bringing spicy heat to the palate.

Finish: A hint of ash sticks around on the finish.

A unique whisky made from imported Scottish peated malt which spends 2 years in madeira casks, then 6 years in mizunara casks. 

This is light, clean and fruity with aromas of apple, white grape, lingering cigar smoke, coconut macaroons, and ample Japanese oak influence. Apple and watermelon flavors appear on the palate, developing a more sugary fruitiness of candy, all brushed with gentle spice and a swish of smoke.

Kaiyo is a negotiant bottler started by a drinks group led by former Asahi employee Mr. Watanabe who was able to purchase "teaspooned" malt whisky barrels from an unnamed Japanese whisky supplier via his connections in the industry ("teaspooning" is when a distiller adds a teaspoon of another whisky into the barrel before selling it, thus preventing the purchaser from claiming it as a single malt from that distillery). The whiskies are purchased as teaspooned new make (unaged distillates) and then put into Japanese Mizunara oak barrels from Ariake, considered one of the best manufacturers in the world.

A fruity, zesty and softly-smoky Japanese whisky, matured in mizunara oak casks. Aromas of orange peel, jasmine, soft cedar and coastal air fill the nose. The palate offers notes of earthy coffee, green apples, black tea and fresh herbs, with hints of cinnamon pastries and mango that linger in the finish.

The whisky that kicks off the Glenlivet range, one of the oldest and most reputable distilleries in Speyside. Named in honour of the distillery's founder, George Smith. It's classic Glenlivet, with a creamy and fruity character bolstered by the use of first-fill American oak to mature some of the whisky.

This gift box comes with two branded glasses.

NOSE - The nuanced aroma reveals  whiffs of sweet cereals, fresh  oak and pipe tobacco with  touches of leather, nutmeg and  vanilla.

PALATE - The Original Cask  Strength is sweet and  spicy with notes of vanilla,  toffee and sea salt along  with hints of cinnamon  and pepper. Long finish with lingering spice,  oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.

This single malt from the Yamazaki distillery is full of red berry notes gained from the whisky's maturation in Bordeaux wine and Sherry casks. It also features malt matured in Mizunara casks which add subtle fragrant oak notes.
