The Lasanta was extramatured in Spanish oloroso sherry casks following a minimum of ten years in ex-bourbon casks. In Gaelic, Lasanta means warmth and passion, and this refers to the key notes of toffee, raisins and walnuts. Upon further nosing and tasting, rich undertones of sultanas, oranges and chocolate emerge, with the dessert sherry wood showing its worth. 

Nose - Like the most delicious dessert menu imaginable, Lasanta taunts the senses with chocolate covered raisins, honeycomb and smooth caramel toffee. Citrus notes clear the way for the crispy burnt sugar and melting softness of creme brulee to be replaced by the rich aroma of rum and raisin ice cream

Palate - The full, sweet flavour typical of Spanish sherry with sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butter toffee. The bite of hazelnut tasted through a chocolate coating, spice notes and hints of leather add the overwhelming sense of richness

Finish - Satisfyingly long with spiced orange and chocolate enrobed hazelnuts 

Blair Athol distillery sits in the picturesque town of Pitlochry right in the middle of the Highlands of Scotland. An old distillery, it produces a classic highland style which is heavy in body, and nutty and spicy in flavour. This Blair Athol was filled from a butt which previously contained Olorosso Sherry and after such a long maturation is very full and rich.

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.

A compelling Islay dram for those who appreciate a peated whisky with both character and finesse.

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.

From a single refill hogshead of 1994, 30 year old Springbank, bottled at natural cask strength. This one is totally distillate driven and a spectacular demonstration of raw, pure, mature Springbank distillery character. Evocative, deep, nuanced and complex old Springbank of real beauty.

Launched in 1968 as the first distillery expression of cask strength whisky, Glenfarclas' 105 has always been made by balancing a selection of ex-sherry casks, whose combined natural strength is exactly 60% ABV - 105 British proof. This new limited edition 105 has been made from casks that have matured for 16 years, with the classic Glenfarclas flavours of butterscotch, lashings of Christmas spices and rich, long-lasting dried fruit and woody tones.

Glenlivet is one of those distilleries whose malts just keep improving with age. This superb 21yo is an elegant, intricate, sophisticated malt, presented in a very smart wooden box - just don't drop it on your foot.

43% ABV
