A'Bunadh is arguably the benchmark for heavily sherried cask-strength Speyside, with a nose that shows spice, praline and orange and a palate that combines dark chocolate, ginger, vanilla, cherries and dried fruit leading to a finish with notes of exotic spice and a better future for mankind.

Nose:  Intense and full blooded. Pot still richness: citrus oils, hot sealingwax, leather, tobacco, tea, maraschino, overripe fruits, marzipan.Exemplary.

Palate:  Ridiculously big. Oozes into the mouth and erupts. Spices galore to the finish. Oily and unctuous.

Finish:  Long, rich, oily.

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.

This unrivalled single malt matures for at least 18 years in the highest quality, handpicked oak casks, which creates a radiant golden colour and seductive floral and oaky aroma.

Deeply layered and complex, this rich and vibrant whisky delivers beautifully intricate flavours of malted caramel, vanilla, and raisins and lingers with a long, sweet, and pleasantly spicy finish.

This expression from Craigellachie Distillery in Speyside has been matured for 18 years in a collection of refill Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads. The nose opens up with aromas of dunnage warehouse, followed by stewed raisins and white chocolate. The palate is rich and oily

Tasting Note: Black Irish is Irish whiskey at its darkest. It has been mellowed in deep-charred oak barrels for a smooth, creamy vanilla finish then infused with strong Irish stout and darkened with rich chocolate malt and roasted barley, to create a bold dark spirit.

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.

Commercial description...

"Every batch we create of our 10-year-old Cask Strength represents the direction in which we are taking The GlenAllachie" - Master Distiller, Billy Walker. 

Demonstrating the impact of exceptional cask management, the tenth edition of our highly-sought after release embodies this philosophy and stands proudly alongside its award-winning predeccesors.

Each striving to better the last, Batch 10 is a true illustration of the artistry and expertise that creates every drop of our liquid gold. To deliver our classically Sherried profile, Billy hand-selected Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso casks to be married with spirit maturing in red wine barriques and medium toast/medium char American virgin oak barrels. The result is a well-balanced, yet complex malt with distinctive notes of dark fruits and layers of warming sweet spice.

Presented in its purest form at natural cask strength of 58.6%, without added colouring or chill-filtration.
