Part of Nikka?s highly popular Black range, this blend is one of the most popular daily drinkers in Japan. The Nikka Black Clear brings together vintages from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries for a light, drinkable expression. Suitable for highballs or to drink neat. In 1918, a young Japanese man with an ambition to make genuine whisky went alone to Scotland to unveil the secret of whisky making. He is Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whisky. 

Released in 1964 for the first time to supply whisky to the large part of the Japanese population that were looking for whisky as a preferred tipple. Named after the growing Hi-Fi sound movement, rumour has it that the great Masataka Taketsuru had a dram of this almost every day. Bottled at 39% ABV and in a 720ml bottle. A smooth easy drinking whisky and great for a highball cocktail during the warmer months.

Nose: Fruity with orange citrus, subtle oak and honey sweetness.

Palate: Citrus driven with fresh grain and soft peat smoke.

Finish: Sweet fruits and balanced oak.

Black Nikka Rich Blend is made from Miyagikyo malt, with non and low proof, with a high proof Yoichi seasoning, with key components matured in ex-sherry casks. The complexity of the malts - sweet and full-bodied - is balanced by the lightness of the Coffey grain whisky. This is a completely different profile to the standard 'Black Nikka', smoother and more elegant.

This Old Pulteney 10-year-old single malt is part of the Flotilla Vintage releases. This expression from 2010 spent its time maturing in American oak barrels, imparting plenty of vanilla, alongside characteristic maritime notes. Bottled up 46% ABV, it's a superb seaside sipper.

A sumptuous malt whisky blend, showcasing whiskies aged in Spanish wine casks. The name is a nod to our founders chance encounter with a man in the South of Spain, where he was introduced to Sherry for the first time. Years later, John was reacquainted with Sherry through whiskies aged in former Sherry casks, known for the rich, deep flavours they provide. It's a style of whisky John has been drawn to ever since.

This whisky, like all vatted malts, is made by marrying 100% single malt whiskies from different distilleries. Compass Box Peat Monster includes in its blend single malts from lead distilleries Ardmore and Caol ila. Both components are aged between 10 to 15 years. Pale golden color. Sweet clover honey, heather, and peat aromas. A soft, yet rich, entry leads to a sweetish medium-full body with caramel, orange peel, raw honey, toast, vibrant peat and pepper flavors. Finishes with a honeycomb, iodine, and toasty grain fade. Very drinkable, exquisitely balanced, and approachable with vibrant, but (despite the name) not dominant peatiness.

The Glenlivet Single Cask is an exclusive tasting experience. A unique blend bottled at its natural cask strength and without chill filtration that allows it to retain the same purity it had while maturing in the cask. Aged in first fill American Oak Barrels for 16 years, there are only 180 bottles of this limited-edition whisky. Every cask holds a flavour which can never be replicated and every bottle is individually numbered.

Glenmorangie gathers the silky, fruity spirit from their giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, a portion goes into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years.

Once 18 years have passed, the two spirits are reunited to create a warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke.

Released in 2013, Ragnvald 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.

Predominantly matured in the finest sherry seasoned European oak casks, Ragnvald’s flavour is rich and succulent, with distinct yet balanced notes of dark chocolate, candied peel, and oriental spices, all rounded off with heather rich peat smoke.

Blended from 42 malts, all from Speyside, plus top quality grain. It's smooth and fruity.

This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak.

Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone?s throw from the Atlantic shore.

This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig?s distinctive peatiness.

On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil.

The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.

This bottling has been matured in re-charred Bourbon barrels and is light and fruity through and through. The nose is vibrant and refreshing with notes of zesty citrus, moving to sweet raisins covered in chocolate. The sweetness piles on the palate with creamy vanilla custard and marzipan. Finally, delicate creme brulee light pear drops and lemon fondant send this lovely light dram on its way.

Matured for a quarter of a century, Caperdonich 25 Year Old was aged in oak hogsheads This exciting amber nectar has plenty of peat smoke on the palate and flavours that will conjure up memories of huddling round a bonfire on a crisp autumn night with its aromas of burnt wood embers.
