Scotch from this distillery has always formed a large blending component in Dewar's blended whisky but a range of age statements such as this one were launched in 2014.

This is a tropical fruit bomb with complexed by savoury meats and a touch of smoke.

If there is one whisky we overlook it's Glenfiddich 12yr. We should remember the groundbreaking work the Grant family did in making Single Malt Scotch available to the world. If it wasn't for them you wouldn't be able to have a dram of your Adelphi and Signatory cask strength whiskies. We'll make no bones about this particular scotch - it is made in massive quantities, and is made to appeal to as many people as possible - by my calculation enough is made to sell 1600 bottles a minute. It is not overly peaty or smoky, rather it is one of the best balanced whiskies we sell. Even people who "don't like whisky"(yes they exist, somewhere) can enjoy a dram of Glenfiddich. The older expressions are well worth looking for as well - particularly the 15 and 21yr old. Nose: Just Juice Tropical, pear, Granny Smith apples, milk chocolate, cloves, toasted;cardamon. Palate: Sweet fruit, apple turnovers, butterscotch, clotted cream, caramel, nougat.; Finish:;A subtle hint of peat and oil, toast.

This 15-year-old single malt, spends its final three years in oloroso sherry casks (prior to 12 in bourbon) and is elegantly balanced between the sherry influence and the distillery's fruit and peat characteristics. Breathe in delicious dark chocolate, sun-dried fruits and a tell-tale wisp of Islay smoke. On the palate sip wonderful cedar wood and a rich treacle toffee and savour the robust and complex finish with a hint of sherry tannin.

Master of Malt - Monkey Shoulder Scotch is a superb blended malt whisky from William Grant, made with single malts from three famous Speyside distilleries. The result is a smooth, creamy, supple and very malty Scotch which works superbly well neat, over ice, or in whisky cocktails (where it really excels).

Created in Dufftown at the heart of Speyside and exclusively finished in virgin American oak, Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve delivers the balance and sophistication of Scotland with a sweet kick of Kentucky. After spending 14 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, the whisky was then meticulously transferred into new American oak barrels built especially for Glenfiddich by the Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville Kentucky.

Tasting Notes: Beautifully rich and sweet with layers of creamy toffee, woody spices, candied orange peel and fresh toasted oak.

One of the most delightfully enjoyable Glenfiddich’s we’ve ever tasted: you could spend an entire night just nosing it!

The Tullamore Dew 12 years old is a triple distilled blend of three types of Irish whiskey - pot still, malt and 'golden grain', matured for 12 years in a combination of American and European oak casks. Soft and creamy with an added richness from the sherry casks, this is a deeper and more complex Tullamore than usual.

Teacher's Highland Cream Blended Scotch Whisky (40% ABV, 1-litre bottle) is a classic, full-bodied Scottish blend featuring a high malt content anchored by the smoky Ardmore single malt.

Redbreast 21 Year Old is the finest representation of the signature Redbreast sherry style - it is the oldest and richest permanent expression available. The 21 year ageing process introduces new levels of depth, flavour and taste to create an inherently complex and ultimately, rewarding whiskey.

Nose A meeting of oloroso and crisp pot still character. Malty, too. Lovely fruitcake richness, though not as sweet as in recent years. Palate Very firm, oily, intense and mouthfilling. Finish A hint of spice counters an increasing oaky bitterness though the barley and sherry last to the very end.;Source;Jim Murray

Limited edition gift set with the classic and iconic Ardbeg 10 year old whisky and two Ardbeg branded glasses. 

On the nose, aromas of smoky fruit and zesty lemon and lime are chased by the tang of bold menthol and tarry rope. With water, an oceanic minerality brings a breath of cool, briny sea spray.

An explosion of crackling peaty flavours is followed by the tastes of a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk and ripe bananas.

Released as part of The Master's Anthology series from The Glendronach, this decadent single malt spent its time maturing in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The vibrant amber hue is all-natural, and with a higher strength of 50.8% ABV, it's a rich and complex sipper, packed with generous layers of chocolate, coffee, raisins, caramel, and ganache.

Johnnie Walker Double Black is a smoky, intense blended Scotch whisky that serves as a bolder, "rebellious" version of the classic Black Label. It features a deeper, full-bodied intensity, characterized by rich peat smoke, dried fruits, and vanilla, achieved through maturation in heavily charred oak casks.

Laphroaig has fashioned this whisky using malt from a number of different types of cask, including Oloroso Sherry butts, white American oak, Pedro Ximenez seasoned hoggies, Quarter casks and first fill bourbon casks. 

This does sport the hallmark medicinal Laphroaig qualities we all love so much but it's not packing a massive peat punch and so is a great entry whisky to the joys of Islay for someone just starting the Islay journey.
