The Arran Single Malt selected for this cask strength expression was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for 7 years before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks also made of the finest American oak for a further 2 years. The process of transferring our whisky into the smaller 125 litre sized casks for their final 2 years of maturation produces far greater contact between the whisky & oak and a faster, more intense maturation.

The end result is a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Malt combining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural Cask Strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring of any sort presents this whisky in its purest form. Small casks would have been a common feature of the Arran whisky trade in the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries as they were easier to handle and transport around the island. With our much-loved Quarter Cask expression we proudly bring this tradition back to life.

Nose - Apple tart, pineapple brioche

Palate - The citrus hallmarks of Arran welcome you, and the sweet spice of cinnamon and vanilla promises a memorable dram.

Finish - Sweetness, Honey, Pineapple, Vanilla, Coconut.

It's the 2007 vintage Distillers Edition from Talisker. These expressions are allowed a finishing period in casks that previously held Amoroso sherry, which plays wonderfully with the distinctive coastal salinity of Talisker's single malt. This one was bottled in 2017 at 45.8% ABV.

Nose: Toffee, seaweed, a sharp hint of fresh citrus fruit, milky coffee.

Palate: Juicy pineapple and apple, balanced by a kick of sea spray. Some light vegetal hints of fresh thyme and basil.

Finish: Lingering smoke and dried fruit.

Distillery notes.

Thanks to the forestry commission, sawmill and cooperage in France, we use the finest virgin French oak casks to enhance our whisky.

Layers of complexity and flavour emerge from a maturation journey that begins in American White Oak ex bourbon casks before a portion of the whisky is split between six different virgin oak casks sourced from across various regions of France (Limousin, Troncais, Allier, Vosges, Jupilles & Les Bertranges).

The result is a fruity and spicy whisky with flavours of crème caramel, baked peach and sweet liquorice.

Slumbering for a full decade in quiet contentment, this beguiling spirit has a lingering taste of sweet pear, crushed apples and maple syrup with gentle notes of honey, caramel, soft licorice and roasted coffee beans.

Talisker's Dark Storm is matured in heavily charred oak casks, imparting yet more smoke and spice to the already intensely smoky whisky. A fantastic release from the distillery on the Isle of Skye. 

45.8% Alc

A wonderful gift pack that will enable the recipient to discover the new whiskies from Jura. This 12-year-old whisky, which comes with two branded glasses, is the core of the island distillery's new range, and offers notes of gentle smoke, spice and dark fruit. The single malt was aged in bourbon casks for 12 years, followed by a brief spell in casks that previously held oloroso sherry ? just the thing to give it extra flavours of raisins, milk chocolate and citrus.

The final whisky in a series of three special edition Viking Legend releases – is inspired by Odin, the mightiest of the Norse gods.

Sweet apple fragrant pear, crème brûlée, toasted cedar wood, smoked paprika and aromatic peat smoke

The second release in Highland Park's Viking Legend series. Found upon the bodies of slain warriors and thought to invoke the presence of Odin himself, Valknut will transport you to a roaring longhouse feast with its woody, smoky and spicy character.

The Arran Malt finished in Sauternes casks. These casks that previously held Bordeaux sweet wine give a honeyed sweetness to the isle of Arran’s only single malt distillery.

Nose: Initially acacia honey but then opening up to apricots, bananas and pears. With time a floral elegance presents itself.

Palate: Sweet but cut with warm spice. Lemon zest announces itself with the addition of water and a slight saltiness plays with this dram's sweet character.

Finish: Seville orange, Sauternes and an ounce of honey in a crisp finish.

14 Year Old Loyalty Of The Wolf has been slowly matured in sherry seasoned American oak, ex-bourbon and refill casks. By combining different styles of casks, we’ve achieved a fine balance of sweet and spicy contrasts - imagine baked apples drizzled with cinnamon butter, bubbling over a smoky log fire, and you’ve conjured up the flavour profile of this single malt whisky.

A single malt created in honour of the wolf and the Viking. Both are fiercely determined and single-minded, yet both understand that true strength is found in cooperation.

Released in 2013, Thorfinn is part of The Warrior Series, a collection of single malts created for Duty-Free to both introduce a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and to demonstrate the impact of cask type on our whisky’s flavour, which is immense.

Created using a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, Thorfinn delivers a deep and complex array of flavours. Think fiery ginger fusing with sun-dried fruits and fistfuls of spice, all emboldened by our signature smokiness.

Joining the Jura Cask Editions collection, this expression has been finished in red wine casks, imparting a glorious berry influence to this island single malt. Packing plenty of rich fruit, it's fabulously full bodied.

Palate: Sultanas and soft summer fruits with raspberry tang and juicy strawberry and gentle vanilla chai spice.

Finish: Cinnamon and red fruits continue with spicy oak, roasted malt, and a creamy finish.

This is a 21 year old unpeated single malt from Tobermory, which has enjoyed 3 years finishing in oloroso sherry casks before being bottled. 

The nose offers clove-studded orange, dark chocolate, florals and vanilla leading to a palate of prunes walnuts and dark chocolate and a long spice and leather finish.

When you look at the almost transparent color of this Ledaig, you know straight away that the cask will have no influence on its aromatic and taste palette. Both earthy and marine, it is also rustic and at the same time very elegant and easy to access that does not exclude complexity. It expresses in a way that could not be more natural all the paradoxes that make the reputation of this single malt from the Isle of Mull.
