This Caledonia Edradour is a release specially selected by songwriter Douglas Maclean and named after his famous song, Caledonia. The cask was an Oloroso sherry cask, distilled in 1997.

Nose: Sweet, creamy and honeyed, with notes of Manuka honey, hints of dried fig and date, soft sherry and a hint of oak.

Palate: Full and rich with notes of berry fruits, and honey and butter on granary toast. More sherry, caramel and toasted almond.

Finish: Spicy, dry and sprinkled with a dusting of cocoa.

This new blend from Adelphi takes its name from long-time collaborator and whisky legend Charles Maclean (MBE), and by pure coincidence, a rocky landmark known as 'Maclean's nose' near the Ardnamurchan distillery. This is an old-fashioned style of blend - a very high proportion of single malt is used (70%) predominantly from the west coast of Scotland, giving this whisky a flavour of burnt citrus peel, sea salt toffee and bonfires by the beach.

A New Zealand exclusive produced in collaboration with Signatory Vintage. Distilled at the Ardmore distillery situated half-way between between Inverurie and Huntly in rural North East Scotland. Distilled in July 2010 and aged for 14 years in total, its final phase of maturation took place in a first-fill Oloroso hogshead.

The aroma initially evokes old dunnage warehouses, before a flood of raspberry ripple ice cream, rocky road and chocolate dipped raspberries. Ardmore's signature smoke is there, a subtle undertone of fragrant beech wood coming from an old wood smoker. On the palate, this is rich and dense with tart summer fruits, charred peaches and hard creamy toffee (Scottish, of course). There is a heart of burnt orange zest and cinnamon spice that lands soft and dry in the finish.

Diluted by time to 58.4% cask strength, this whisky will show its natural oils with water added to your glass, throwing a cloudy haze.

#N/A

This 10-year-old Ben Nevis single malt exudes some beautiful coffee, chocolate, and toffeed peat notes, a firm representative of the Western Highland style.

"A sweet, balanced and beautifully easy-drinking dram, Langskip’s strength is matched only by its smoothness. Matured entirely in first-fill bourbon casks, this whisky has a unique richness and an extraordinary depth of flavour. Bottled at 58% alcohol by volume, Langskip represents the very best of Wolfburn.

Aromas of fruit blossom meld with dried apples and light oak. In the background you’ll find traces of raisins and dates mixed with rich fruit cake.

Flavours burst onto the palate, rich and sweet, including maple syrup, dark chocolate, almonds and raisins. The finish lingers nicely – hints of vanilla gently fade away with a warming trace of caramel at the end."

Distiller's note. 

Old Pulteney is based in the thriving metropolis of Wick.  and is a stones throw from the sea, and is known for its seasidey, coastal flavours. The 12 is a great entry point into this outstanding distillery - it shows a little toffee, citrus and spice.

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.

GlenDronach is, quite simply, the go to distillery for sherry aged whiskies. This large, imposing Victorian distillery makes whisky to match and some of their single cask offerings are as dark as night and like drinking liquid Xmas pudding and crêpes suzettes.

This is the archetypal 12 year old, aged in ex-oloroso and PX sherry casks. The nose is rich and lifted with honey, caramel, treacle, vanilla sugar and prunes dominating. The palate is rich and rounded with dried fruit, sultanas and milk chocolate. A fantastic all-round whisky and a must for the cabinet at home.
