  • Glendronach Luke Skywalker bottle with deep mahogany sherried whisky
    Item no.: 22227865458-125

    First came Darth Vader, then Yoda, and now Luke Skywalker. The names are the Danish whisky retailers' own joke, and the last one is a nod to Billy Walker — the man who lifted Glendronach out of obscurity, and whose surname fitted a little too well.

    The expert's description

    Glendronach 10 Year Old Luke Skywalker is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at 48%.

    The bottling was made officially for professional Danish whisky retailers in an outturn of around 3,000 bottles, sold only on the Danish market. The whisky sits entirely in PX sherry casks, the sweetest and most concentrated sherry type, and it is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    Glendronach is built on sherry. Since 1826 the distillery has matured its whisky in Spanish oak casks from the bodegas of Andalucía, so a ten year old entirely in PX is not a side step but a concentrated version of the house style.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark sherry and raisin, with fig, dark chocolate and a layer of spice. The youth registers as a fresh berry note beneath the heavy fruit.

    Palate

    Full and sweet. Raisin, dates and dark chocolate, with a firm spiced middle. The 48% gives the whisky the weight a ten year old would otherwise lack against this much sherry.

    Finish

    Long. Dark fruit and cocoa drying slowly into a lightly bitter, nutty close.

    Did you know?

    James Allardice, who founded Glendronach in 1826, was only the second person in Scotland to obtain a legal distilling licence after the excise legislation of 1823. The distillery has therefore been there from the very beginning of the legal Scotch whisky industry.

    Item no.: 22227865429-220

    Behind Balvenie's walls sits a distillery few people know by name. For decades, Kininvie has supplied whisky for other William Grant & Sons bottles — without ever appearing on the label itself.

    Expert description

    Kininvie 17 Years Old Batch 001 is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 42.6%. Batch 001 was, in 2016, the very first single malt Kininvie ever released under its own name, after decades in which the spirit was used exclusively in blends. It is matured in ex-bourbon casks, which highlight Kininvie's soft, fruity base character — a style closer to Balvenie than to Glenfiddich.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Ripe pears, honey and a light nutty aroma of almonds.

    Palate

    Soft and round, with tropical fruit, vanilla and a hint of spiced oak.

    Item no.: 22227865396-235

    One cask, 564 bottles, four Nordic countries to share them. That is how the story of Coupar Angus begins, a bottle never meant for a large audience, and precisely for that reason so sought after.

    Expert Description

    Glenlivet Coupar Angus 15 Year Old Limited Edition is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, drawn straight from a single sherry cask at cask strength of 57.9%.

    The whisky is a distillery bottling, released exclusively to be shared between the four Nordic countries, with only 564 bottles of this specific release reaching Scandinavia. The cask has spent 15 years maturing in American white oak and belongs to what the distillery calls its Nordic Cask series, single casks selected specifically for the Nordic market. The name Coupar Angus refers to a location near the distillery, in keeping with The Glenlivet's tradition of naming single cask releases after places in the area.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fruity with banana and orange, carried by sharpened pencils, nuts and a hint of clove. With water, more tropical fruit and a touch of dark berries such as blackcurrant and blackberry emerge.

    Palate

    Sweet from the start with berries and citrus fruit, cinnamon and a creamy texture, where caramel and a touch of chocolate mingle with a peppery, tingling heat mid-palate.

    The whisky comes from Yamazaki Distillery, founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii as Japan's very first whisky distillery.

  • Bottle of Stauning KAOS 2016 Danish Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865400-305

    Stauning KAOS is the opposite of the system – a multi-malt whisky that blends grain types instead of keeping to one. The 2016 edition is one of the earliest releases and sets the standard for the series.

    Expert description

    Stauning KAOS 2016 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46.5% and made from a blend of malted grain types. Distilled 2011-2013 and released in February 2016. KAOS is Stauning's most complex expression – a counterpoint to the peated single malts, characterised by fruity, creamy notes and elegant complexity. The bottling is non-chill filtered.

    Stauning Whisky opened in 2005 in Skjern and has since earned international recognition for its floor malting and copper pot distillation of Danish grain. KAOS represents the experimental side of the distillery – each batch is a new composition.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fruity and creamy with apricot jam, vanilla and a hint of citrus. A light oak note in the background.

    Palate

    Full and smooth. Peach, honey and caramel with a spiced oak finish. Well balanced.

    Item no.: 22227865388-314

    Thorfinn once ruled the whole of Orkney and carried the nickname "the Mighty". Highland Park has given the same title to one of the most sherry-driven expressions in The Warrior Series — a whisky that doesn't ask permission before filling the glass with dark fruit and spiced oak.

    Expert Description

    Highland Park Thorfinn The Warrior Series is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky matured in European sherry oak and bottled at 45.1%.

    The whisky is named after Earl Thorfinn Sigurdsson, who according to saga once controlled the whole of Orkney. Unlike several other releases in The Warrior Series, Thorfinn is matured exclusively in European, Spanish oak, of which more than half are first-fill sherry casks — an unusually high share that gives the whisky its dark, concentrated character.

    The result is one of the most powerful and sherry-driven releases in the series, built for the enthusiast seeking depth and complexity over lightness.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Cedarwood, camphor and mango meet coriander, a spicy smokiness and the scent of vanilla pods.

    Palate

    Very complex, with ginger root to the fore, followed by smoked oak and dark fruit.

    Item no.: 22227865446-86

    Skog means forest in Swedish, and with this Moment release Mackmyra set out to capture the very essence of the Swedish forests surrounding the distillery in a single glass.

    The Expert's Description

    Mackmyra Moment Skog is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in sherry casks and Swedish oak, bottled at 52.4%.

    The whisky is matured in a combination of casks that previously held sherry, along with Swedish oak, giving a complex flavour profile where maturity and spice from the Swedish oak blend with a fruity sherry character. The Swedish oak also lends tones reminiscent of peat and smoke.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Mature, sweet tones meet spice from the Swedish oak and a hint of sherry fruit.

    Palate

    Powerful and rich with a touch of peat and smoke, creating a fine balance to the sweet, fruity character.

    Item no.: 22227865461-205

    Rich local barley, canny local knowledge, soft water from the River Teith and first fill bourbon casks. And then time. A great deal of time.

    Expert description

    Deanston 18 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    First fill casks are the ones taking Scotch for the first time after bourbon. The wood is still active and gives vanilla, coconut and a clear sweetness — over eighteen years that becomes a deep, honeyed character without the oak taking over. It is the house signature, sweet honeyed fruit with a long swell, pushed as far as it goes. Deanston has distilled in a converted cotton mill at Doune since 1966.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Deep honey and ripe fruit. Baked apple, vanilla and coconut, with a light floral note and malted cereal underneath.

    Palate

    Full and creamy. Honey, vanilla fudge and ripe fruit, with spice from the oak and a waxy mouthfeel that the absence of filtration preserves.

    Finish

    Long and warm, with honey, malt and a soft oak spice fading slowly.

    Item no.: 22227865428-202

    Batch 001 is the pair of digits collectors look for first. Signature was the Balvenie attempt at showing what three cask types can do together, and the first batch is the one every later release has been measured against.

    The expert's description

    Balvenie Signature 12 Batch 001 is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon casks, refill bourbon casks and sherry casks and bottled at 40 %.

    Signature launched in 2008 as a bottling built on three cask types rather than the usual two. David Stewart selected the casks by hand, and each batch carried its own number. Batch 001 is the first release in the series, which was phased out again a few years later.

    Each cask type plays its own part. First fill bourbon gives vanilla and coconut, the refill casks let the honey character of the spirit come through, and the sherry casks lay raisin and spice on top. Bottling at 40 % keeps the whole thing restrained and coherent.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Honey, vanilla and pale apple, with a note of coconut and a discreet sherry sweetness behind.

    Palate

    Soft and rounded with caramel, raisin and lightly spiced oak. The three cask types pull in different directions but are held together by the malt.

    Item no.: 22227865461-203

    Six cask types in one bottle. Not because it reads well on a label, but because Dalmore wanted to see how many layers you can put into a whisky before it falls apart.

    Expert description

    Dalmore King Alexander III is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in six different cask types and bottled at 40%.

    The whisky brings together components from bourbon casks, oloroso sherry casks, Madeira casks, Marsala casks, port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon casks. When it appeared it was the first single malt built on that many different cask types. The name refers to King Alexander III, who according to legend was saved from a charging stag by an ancestor of Clan Mackenzie — and in gratitude granted the clan the right to carry the animal on its arms. It is the same stag that appears on every Dalmore bottle today.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Layered and sweet. Red fruit, orange and vanilla first, then raisin, marzipan and a warm spiced note from the port and Madeira.

    Palate

    Soft and round. Passion fruit, citrus and caramel meet dried fruit, chocolate and spice, while the many cask types settle in layers rather than colliding.

    Finish

    Long and soft, with fruit, spice and a lightly dry oak note.

    361 metres beneath the streets of Hiroshima lies an old railway tunnel where Togouchi lets its whisky sleep in constant cold and darkness until it's ready.

    Expert Description

    Togouchi 18 Year Old is a Japanese Blended Whisky, bottled at 43.8%.

    The whisky comes from Sakurao Brewery and Distillery (formerly Chugoku Jozo), which has blended and matured whisky under the Togouchi name since 1990. What sets Togouchi apart is its ageing: part of the whisky matures in an abandoned railway tunnel with a constant temperature of 14°C and 80% humidity - conditions that produce an unusually soft, rounded maturation.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Honey and ripe pears with a light smoky aroma and a touch of old oak.

    Investment Potential

    Medium. Togouchi's older age-stated releases are made in limited quantities and are already harder to find than the younger core range.

    Did You Know?

    The railway tunnel where Togouchi ages its whisky was originally bored in 1970 by the Japanese railway company and stood empty for decades before Togouchi discovered its constant conditions were perfect for maturing whisky and shochu.

  • Cragganmore 2016 Annual Release Speyside single malt bottle
    Item no.: 22227865428-200

    Cragganmore is almost always sold at forty percent and twelve years. Every so often Diageo opens the warehouse door and lets it out at full strength — and then it becomes a different whisky entirely.

    Expert description

    Cragganmore 2016 Annual Release is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 55.7% without an age statement.

    The release belongs to Diageo's annual Special Releases and was made in 4,932 bottles. Cragganmore sits at Ballindalloch between mountain and sea, in the triangle of land locally called the Garden of Scotland, where barley is a natural crop and the Spey is Scotland's fastest flowing river. It was precisely that combination of barley, water and peat from the uplands to the south that made John Smith build here in 1869. At 55.7% the herbal, malted house style stands far more clearly than in the 12 year old.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Concentrated heather and honey, dried herbs and a warm resinous note. Underneath sit malt, apple skin and a trace of wood smoke.

    Palate

    Powerful and dense. Honey, sandalwood, malt and candied citrus, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry herbal edge keeping the sweetness in check.

    Finish

    Very long and dry, with malt, herbs, oak and a slowly fading smoked warmth.

    Investment potential

    High. The outturn is 4,932 bottles, the vintage is bottled once and never repeated, and Cragganmore appears rarely in the series. Older Special Releases have risen sharply as they left the shelves.

    Did you know?

    Cragganmore sits in what locals call the Garden of Scotland — a fertile triangle between mountain and sea where barley grows well. John Smith chose the spot because everything a distillery needs lay within walking distance: grain, water, peat and a railway.

  • Highland Park 15 Year Old discontinued edition bottle
    Item no.: 22227865388-311

    Before new designs and new cask combinations, there was this 15-year-old expression of Highland Park, as it looked when it was first introduced as an exclusive release back in 2003. A taste of how the distillery's style once was, before it evolved further.

    Expert Description

    Highland Park 15 Year Old Old Version is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky matured in oak casks and bottled at 40%.

    This is the original 15-year-old, as it was introduced in 2003 as an exclusive release, before later becoming a permanent part of the distillery's international range. The whisky builds on the 12-year-old style, but with an extra layer of complexity from the longer maturation — more floral, more aromatic, with a milder smoke.

    Today this exact edition is discontinued and replaced by newer versions, making it an interesting glimpse into how Highland Park tasted for an earlier generation.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Aromatic smokiness with a hint of camphor, backed by fresh citrus notes and a light floral scent.

    Palate

    Rich and initially sweet, gradually developing into a dry, smoky character.

    Finish

    Rich and long, first medium sweet, then medium dry with lingering smoke.
