Caol Ila is one of Islay's best loved distilleries and this 12 year old is their entry level bottling.

This expression is light and fresh with that distinctive Caol Ila smoke and notes of zesty limoncello. A perfect introduction to the joys of Islay malt and the mercurial qualities of peat smoked whisky.

Part of an all-new series from Adelphi, this selection comes from the Glen Elgin distillery, an excellent example of whisky from the Speyside region in Scotland. Bright and fragrant to start with an aroma of orange essence, Meyer lemons and manuka honey, with a gentle floral edge. On the palate, a fruity flavour of pears and green grapes, with a nutty, marzipan / almond croissant quality.

A new, limited edition and peat-forward version of Adelphi's famous Private Stock, made primarily with West-coast whiskies and classic Islay peat. Earthy and layered with mellow peat, this is a full bodied and complex blend, offering notes of grapefruit, rustic smokehouse fish & meats and an oily, nutty finish.

Bottled from a refill hogshead, with an Oloroso finish, the aroma of this Glen Garioch is like breakfast on a cold Scottish morning, with warm porridge, sweet berries and brown sugar. The palate takes a sweet dessert like turn, with notes of custard and tart cherries served alongside baked apples. Grilled citrus notes linger on towards the end of the palate.

This Linkwood, bottled from a single Oloroso butt is a perfect winter warmer dram. There are notes of warm apple cider and zesty citrus on the nose, before notes of sweet toasted oak, and sweet honey join on the palate, the sweetness continues on towards the end of the palate, with a rather malty finish.

This Twelve Year Old Aberlour has been matured in two cask types.  Traditional oak and Sherry oak casks.  Especially selected every year, they are filled with whisky and quietly aged for a minimum of twelve years; then the casks are married together.

Traditional oak casks encourage the subtle character of Aberlour to develop, whilst Sherry oak casks add hints of ruby gold colour and a deep and rich flavour to the whisky.  A perfectly balanced single malt with notes of fruits and spices.

Aged in Craft Beer Barrels. The classic Jamesons triple-distilled smoothness is very much intact, notes of cocoa, coffee and butterscotch confirm the stout influence. Caskmates is a head-turning, modern Irish whiskey.

The Matsui Sakura Cask - Aged in Japanese cherry-wood casks, known as Sakura.  Rich, sweet and full-bodied with bold flavours.

Distilled and aged at Kurayoshi Distillery.

A single malt whisky distilled in the rich, natural environment of Tottori and rested in Mizunara casks.  Combined with the malt aroma and rich flavour of unblended whisky, a faintly sweet, aged aroma tickles the nose with a smooth yet rich, lingering aftertaste.  This masterpiece, carefully crafted with heart and passion, is brought to proof with high-quality natural spring water from Mt. Daisen.  In order to maintain the integrity of the whisky, no artificial coloring is added.

Matsui Tottori 700ml (red box)

Matsui has proven itself to be masterful in blending and ageing whisky with both its Kurayoshi and Tottori collections and is now stepping confidently into the world of whisky distillation with its single malt collection entitled, ‘The Matsui.’

Bright golden yellow, it has an elegant and balanced nose of ripe fruit, spices and wood. Rich and complex on the palate with floral notes that leave room for more evolved aromas of vanilla and chocolate. Slightly sweet and oaky finish.
