An exciting new limited edition release from the Ardnamurchan distillery sees their peated and unpeated whisky matured in a medley of ex-sherry casks. The reddish, mahogany colour shows the woods influence, offering up both sweet and savoury tones with flavours of salted peanut brittle, sticky spare ribs and rich raisin slice. A complex and gentle coastal peat smoke pokes through at times, with notes reminiscent of old fireplaces and sea-side tarry rope.

At Dalwhinnie, clear worts and long ferments create a starting point form which one might expect a light floral whisky. However, the stills are run in such a way as to minimise the conversation between malt and copper, and when this is combined with the use of worm tubs to condense, the result is a heavy and somewhat sulphurous malt. After fifteen years in cask though, this is combined into the whisky, and the thick honeyed and almost sticky quality that Dalwhinnie is so famous for, shines through.

Nose: Aromatic, toffee, fruit salad, lush nectarine, custard. Floral, apple blossom, honeysuckle. Apple peels, pear, touch of smoke.

Palate: Malty. Walnuts steeped in manuka honey with vanilla sponge. Gentle smoke weaves its way through the cereal with a touch of spice.

Finish: Long, malty, walnut, almond.

Loch Lomond Group - Named after an island rich in meadow and woodland, our 18 Year Old has a strong oak character, with hints of summer grass, tropical fruit and zesty citrus notes.  Our Master Cooper back then was Tommy Wallace, who carefully selected the finest casks to mature the liquid in for a minimum of 18 years allowing time and nature to bring out the sweeter character of the wood. 

Smooth enough to sip, sweet enough to mix, Deanston Kentucky Cask Single Malt Whisky is reminiscent of a quick chew of butter toffee, then a slug of American cream soda. Kentucky Cask is matured in hand-selected 1st & 2nd fill ex-bourbon casks, all hand-selected by our Master Blender Julieann Fernandez to create this versatile single malt. Neat or mixed, enjoy any damn way you please! Over ice, it may go a little cloudy. Don't panic, our soft-filtration process leaves in flavours, that harsher filtration may remove, leaving it jam-packed with sweet & smooth character.

The Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old, 2023 Release forms part of Macallan's Sherry Oak Collection which features a series of single malt whiskies matured in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez for richness and complexity. A full bodied palate of mature oak, ginger and raisin flavours is complimented by a light mahogany natural colour.

This is a limited-edition Ardnamurchan from indie bottler Adelphi, matured in a pair of sherry casks for five years that were hand selected by Charles MacLean and Alex Bruce (hence the M&B). A fresh and clean dram with plenty of complexity where you will find notes of orchard fruit, lemongrass and honeysuckle giving way to stewed fruits and walnut - all complexed by subtle hints of peat.
