Deanston 18 year old Batch 3 Old Version Single Highland Malt Whisky 46,3%

Item no.: 222331-2055

Third batch of the 18 year old, bottled before Deanston changed the packaging. Same whisky, different wardrobe — and that is exactly the kind of detail collectors watch.
Expert description
Deanston 18 years Batch 3 Old Version is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American bourbon casks and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The long maturation in American oak gives the whisky natural colour, rich texture and a balanced sweetness. Deanston uses Scottish barley, long fermentation and classic pot stills, and the house has occupied a converted cotton mill by the River Teith since 1966. Batch 3 is a limited release from before the current bottle design, which makes it easy to tell apart from today's 18 year old.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey from wildflowers, creamy vanilla and floral notes, followed by citrus and mild spice.
Palate
Sweetness and warmth in interplay. Barley sugar, lemon confection, ginger cake and deep Manuka honey, with a rich, waxy texture.
Finish
Long and dry with clear ginger, light oak and a soft honeyed warmth.

Batch numbers are the whisky world's answer to edition numbers. Even when the recipe is the same, the casks vary from batch to batch — so batch 3 does not necessarily taste like batch 6, however alike the labels look.

Mosgaard 8 Year Whiskymessen 2026 Oloroso Quarter Cask Single Malt Danish Whisky 50 cl 59.8%

Item no.: 057771-5552

A Funen distillery marks its Danish whisky-fair release with an Oloroso quarter cask.
Expert description
Mosgaard 8 Year Old Whisky Fair 2026 Oloroso Quarter Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in an Oloroso sherry quarter cask, bottled at 59.8% to mark Whiskymessen 2026. Mosgaard Whisky was founded in 2015 by Gitte and Jes Mosgaard on the Danish island of Funen, on a former farm overlooking apple orchards and the Langeland Sound. The distillery works exclusively with organic raw materials, including organic Danish barley from Gyrup Malteri, and won the award for Best Danish Distillery three years running at the Berlin International Spirits Competition (2019-2021). Quarter casks are smaller than standard barrels, giving the whisky greater contact with the wood and driving faster, more intense maturation.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers dried fruit, sherry and a hint of dark chocolate.
Palate
The palate is powerful with raisins, caramel and spiced wood.
Finish
The finish is long, spicy and sweet.

Talisker Special Release 2022 Whisky 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55.1%

Item no.: 035689-9321

Skye rarely goes gentle in November, and Talisker built its 11 Year Old Special Release 2022 for exactly that kind of weather - cask strength, younger and rawer than its older siblings, but carrying every bit of the smoke and salt the island is known for.
Expert Description
Talisker 11 Year Old Special Release 2022 is an Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured across a mix of American and European oak casks and bottled at a natural cask strength of 55.1%. It belongs to Diageo's annual Special Releases programme, in which distilleries such as Talisker, Lagavulin and Mortlach each contribute an expression that steps outside the core range.
The oak brings a double layer of sweetness and tannin, while the younger age keeps Talisker's trademark pepper and smoke sharp and direct. This is the distillery showing its rawer side rather than its polished one, built for an evening that calls for a bit more intensity in the glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose opens with salty sea air and peat smoke, quickly followed by citrus oil and a touch of mint. Underneath sit vanilla, green apple and toasted oak, and the high strength lifts the aromas without turning sharp.
Palate
The palate is rich and lively, with seaweed, sea spray and fresh lemon sitting alongside ripe fruit and vanilla. Talisker's pepper arrives quickly and builds into a chilli kick, while the casks add sweetness and a light oak bitterness underneath it all.
Finish
The finish is long and warm, with smoke, pepper and a salty minerality that lingers well after the last sip.

The whisky was distilled in November 2008 and rested for 17 years in a sherry hogshead before being bottled in November 2025 without chill filtration and without added colour.

Braeval 2009 The First Edition 14 Years Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 62%

Item no.: 059763-615-6557

62 percent is not a number you hand anyone unprepared. In return nothing has been filtered out, no colour added and no water poured in — you get the contents of the cask as they were when the bung came off.
Expert description
Braeval 2009 The First Edition 14 Years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a Refill Oloroso Butt, bottled at cask strength, 62%, without chill filtration and without added colour.
The First Edition is the series from Andrew Laing and Edition Spirits, where single casks from across Scotland are selected and bottled without compromise. Andrew Laing is the son of Stewart Laing and carries the family tradition of independent bottling forward under his own name.
Braeval is a high-lying Speyside distillery whose spirit is light and floral. Fourteen years in a refill oloroso butt adds nut and dried fruit without covering the spirit, and the high strength makes the profile dense and concentrated.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried apricot and walnut with pale honey, cinnamon and a stroke of freshly cut oak.
Palate
Dense and spiced with raisin, almond and baked apple. The alcohol is pronounced, but the fruit holds its ground.

Bowmore The Kinship No 1 Feis Ile 27 Year Single Islay Malt Whisky 48.1%

Item no.: 22353668-889

27 years in sherry. 366 bottles. Released at Feis Ile — Islay's biggest whisky festival. Hunter Laing's The Kinship No. 1 is the kind of bottle you open and remember precisely when and with whom.
Expert's description
Bowmore The Kinship No 1 Feis Ile 27 Year is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry cask and bottled at 48.1%. Hunter Laing's The Kinship series is created as a tribute to Islay's distilleries and the traditions that have shaped the island's whisky. Each bottling is selected cask by cask and released in small quantities, focusing on maturity, character and provenance. The Kinship No. 1 is the first in the series — a 27-year-old Bowmore bottled specifically for Feis Ile 2017, the annual whisky festival on Islay. Selected by Jim McEwan, Islay's veteran spirit who came out of retirement as production director for Ardnahoe. Non-chill filtered, natural colour — 366 bottles at 48.1%.
Tasting notes
Nose
Complex and aged. Dark fruit, sherry sweetness and dried flowers with a hint of sea breeze and gentle, elegant smoke from Bowmore's characteristic peat.
Taste
Silky and deep. The sherry cask dominates with fig, dried plum and dark chocolate. The peat whispers in the background — present but transformed by 27 years of maturation.
Finish
Very long and luxurious. Dried fruit, warm spice and a delicate coastal smoke that slowly fades. Exceptional length for this age and ABV.

Sall Whisky Founder’s Cask #1 Kåre Single Malt Danish Whisky 55.1%

Item no.: 2227824-8963

Not every single cask gets a name. Sall Whisky's Founders Cask no 1 is called Kåre – named after one of the founders behind the distillery on Djursland. A personal cask at 55.1% in 50 cl.
Expert description
Sall Whisky Founders Cask no 1 Kåre is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 55.1% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland. It is the distillery's first founders cask – a single cask bottled and named after founder Kåre as a personal marker of the distillery's history. 55.1% is a high strength that gives direct and undiluted access to the cask and malt character. The bottle is 50 cl – slightly smaller than standard – and was bottled in very limited numbers.
Tasting notes
Nose
55.1% cask strength gives intensity. Sall Whisky's clean organic single farm malt is central, with the cask character clear over the grain base. Fruity and lightly spiced.

Ærø 2017 Single Malt Small Batch no 1 Dansk Whisky 50 cl 43%

Item no.: 22227865-24487

Not all whisky from Ærø is single cask. Small Batch No 1 takes a different approach — a selection of casks from the 2017 distillation, vatted and reduced to 43%. The result is a more approachable entry into the Ærø universe, but with the same genuinely local ingredients and the same malt floor.
Expert description
Ærø Whisky 2017 Single Malt Small Batch No 1 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 43%, bottled at 50 cl. It is the first small batch expression from Ærø Whisky A/S and marks a different direction from the distillery's single cask series. Ærø Whisky produces exclusively from locally grown barley from the island of Ærø, malted on the distillery's own malt floor and double-distilled in a closed circuit. The distillation dates from 2017, and the whisky is matured in oak casks — a combination of sherry casks and new oak. The small batch method means the contents are vatted from a selection of casks, producing a more consistent and accessible style than the cask strength expressions.
Tasting notes
Nose
Mild and inviting. Vanilla and light oak from the maturation, with dried fruit and a gentle sherry note in the background. The local malt gives a fresh, slightly nutty undertone.
Palate
Round and soft at 43%. Caramel and honey with dark fruit. The oak is present as structure, not dominance. Light spice towards the end.
Finish
Medium-length and warm. Light spice and dried fruit gradually retreat.

Did you know?
Ærø Whisky is one of very few producers in the world that still malts barley on its own malt floor. It is a time-consuming and physically demanding process, but it gives the master maltster direct control over the drying degree and malt character that cannot be achieved with purchased malt.

Bruichladdich 2003 Little Brown Dog 22 year old Bourbon Barrel Single Islay Malt Whisky 53,6%

Item no.: 222355-88888

On the label sits the dunes of Kintra, painted by a Danish artist in memory of his grandfather. Behind that story lie 22 years in a single bourbon cask, the one Little Brown Dog called the jewel of their collection.
Expert description
Bruichladdich 2003 Little Brown Dog is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 22 years in a bourbon barrel and bottled at 53.6%.
The whisky was distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2025 by independent bottler Little Brown Dog, after more than two decades of maturation in a single bourbon cask. The cask was originally part of a parcel of four, but stood out so distinctly in taste, depth and structure according to the bottler that it was purchased on its own.
Only 140 bottles were drawn from this single cask. Each bottle carries an original label featuring an oil painting by Danish artist Bjarne Helverskov Andersen, depicting the dunes at Kintra on Islay, a personal tribute to the artist's grandson, who sold the cask on to Little Brown Dog.
To preserve its raw, authentic character, the whisky is bottled through a 20-micron filter rather than the finer filters typically used, which can leave natural cask sediment in the bottle.
Tasting notes
Nose
Warm bourbon notes, vanilla and light caramel, with a hint of ripe fruit and citrus oil.
Palate
Deep, mature and creamy with warm bourbon sweetness, citrus oil and a maritime undercurrent from the Islay coast.
Finish
Long, full-bodied and oily, with a lingering sweetness and a hint of salt.

Talisker 10 Years Isle of Skye Old Version Pre-2012 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 45.8%

Item no.: 222322-228

Before 2012, Talisker 10 Year Old looked different on the shelf. This bottle predates the redesign most people know today - a small time capsule for anyone collecting Talisker's packaging history.
Note: Light wear on the box/bottle.
Expert Description
Talisker 10 Year Old Isle of Skye Old Version Pre-2012 is an Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in American oak casks and bottled at 45.8%. The whisky inside is the same classic 10 Year Old, but the bottle carries the label used before the distillery's packaging redesign around 2012.
For a collector, it's exactly this kind of detail that turns an otherwise familiar bottle into something interesting - a chance to own an earlier edition of a whisky still produced today, just with a different look.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers smoke, sea salt and citrus, with an underlying sweetness and a hint of pepper foreshadowing the power to come in the palate.
Palate
The palate is powerful and warming, with smoke, salt and citrus up front, while the sweetness balances a clear, spicy peppery edge.

Dalmore Castle Leod 1995 Vintage Lands of Clan Mackenzie Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22461-25564

Castle Leod still stands at Strathpeffer and is still the Mackenzie clan home. Dalmore has carried the clan stag on its label for nearly two centuries — here the castle gets a bottle of its own.
Expert description
Dalmore Castle Leod 1995 Vintage is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American white oak and Spanish sherry oak with a final finish in 1er Cru Classé Bordeaux casks and bottled at 46%.
The whisky was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2011 in an outturn of 5,000 bottles. It belongs to the Lands of Clan Mackenzie series, where each release is tied to a place in the clan's history. Castle Leod at Strathpeffer is the clan seat and lies a few kilometres from the distillery. The Bordeaux finish is unusual for Dalmore and lays a dry fruit acidity over the usual house sherry sweetness.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and inviting. Dark fruits, orange peel, honey and caramel, accompanied by warm spices, chocolate and a touch of roasted nuts.
Palate
Full and silky. Raisins, prunes and ripe fruit melt together with vanilla, spices and dark cocoa, while the oak contributes structure and depth.

Dalmore Cromartie 1996 Vintage Lands of Clan Mackenzie Single Highland Malt Whisky 45%

Item no.: 22461-25563

Cromartie is the name of the earldom the Mackenzie clan received from the crown. Third bottle in the series, third place on the map — and the whisky gets darker with each release.
Expert description
Dalmore Cromartie 1996 Vintage is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American white oak with a final maturation in oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 45%.
The whisky was distilled in 1996 and is the third release in the Clan Mackenzie Series, where the clan's twelve-point stag appears on every bottle. The combination of American oak first and oloroso at the end is the classic house recipe, and the 45% gives more weight than most of Dalmore's standing releases. The series is limited and ties each bottling to a place or title in the clan's history.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and inviting. Dried fruits, orange peel, dark chocolate and caramel, accompanied by warm spices and a touch of roasted nuts.
Palate
Full and round. Raisin, prune and ripe fruit bind together with vanilla, cocoa and spice, while the distinctive Dalmore sweetness holds it all together.
Finish
Long and warm, with dried fruit, spice and a dry oak note.

Compass Box The Double Single 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whisky 53.3%

Item no.: 22555771-5563

A blend normally holds dozens of whiskies. The Double Single holds two. One single malt and one single grain, and after that there is nothing left to hide behind.
Expert description
Compass Box The Double Single 10th Anniversary Limited Edition is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 53.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The original Double Single arrived in 2010 built on exactly two components, which is where the name comes from. This anniversary edition marks ten years on and is bottled at cask strength rather than the usual strength, which makes it fuller and more intense without breaking the idea. The concept is unchanged: as few moving parts as possible, so you can taste precisely what the malt and the grain each contribute.
Tasting notes
Nose
Golden and layered. The natural sweetness of cereal first, then creamy vanilla, honey and ripe apples, with a light citrus freshness and a suggestion of smoke underneath.
Palate
Full and velvety. Honey, vanilla and ripe pear meet citrus and dark caramel, while the malt base gives depth and a touch of spiced smoke. The strength warms without cutting.
Finish
Long and warm, with cereal, vanilla, light oak and a dry spiced close.

Did you know?
The word blend has been used as an insult among malt enthusiasts for decades. The Double Single was made as a counter-argument: two components, full transparency about the recipe, and a whisky that shows what grain can actually contribute when it is good enough.

Caol Ila 1991/2009 Chieftains 18 Years Single Islay Malt Whisky 48%

Item no.: 222556-635

1991 was an unusual year to distil Caol Ila. The distillery had just gone through a modernisation and found its current style. Ian MacLeod's Chieftains series took a cask from that year and gave it a finish in German oak – before it was bottled in 2009.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 1991/2009 Chieftains 18 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in a German oak cask (cask no. 91821), bottled at 48% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 288 bottles.
Chieftains is Ian MacLeod's series for independent single-cask bottlings from Scottish distilleries. Ian MacLeod Distillers – owners of Glengoyne and Tamdhu – have had their finger on the pulse of Scotch whisky since 1933.
German oak (Quercus Robur) is denser and gives more tannin and spice than American oak casks. It gives a spicy finish to a Caol Ila that is otherwise elegant and balanced – light tobacco smoke, sea salt, citrus and green apples with well-integrated smoke.
Tasting notes
Nose
Light tobacco smoke, sea salt and seaweed combined with citrus and green apples. A subtle sweet malt profile and a hint of spice from the German oak.
Palate
Soft and complex. Dry mineral smoke and pleasant sweetness in balance. Citrus, pear and lemon complemented by honey, vanilla and a touch of salty liquorice. The smoke is elegant and well-integrated.
Finish
Long, clean and persistent – fresh smoke, light salt and a rounded fruity sweetness blending with malt and spice from the German oak.

Rosebank Distillery closed in 1993 and is today one of the most sought-after names among closed Scottish distilleries. Bottles like this one, distilled while production was still running, trade at markedly higher value than at bottling, and demand continues to rise among collectors.
Did You Know?
Rosebank was often called the Rolls-Royce of the Lowlands due to its triple distillation, a technique used today by only a handful of Scottish distilleries, which gave the whisky its characteristic lightness and finesse.

Craigellachie 21 Year Old The Chess Malt Collection Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 52.3%

Item no.: 059766-7419

Thirty-two bottles, thirty-two pieces. The Chess Malt Collection is built as a chess set where each distillery is assigned a role — and Craigellachie is not a pawn.
Expert description
Craigellachie 21 years The Chess Malt Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 52.3%.
The whisky was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2017. The collection consists of 32 unique single cask releases, each bottle representing a chess piece: two kings, two queens, four bishops, four knights, four rooks and sixteen pawns, split between black and white. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and makes a heavy, meaty spirit, which after twenty-one years in a sherry cask has gained both depth and a dark fruit sweetness without losing its mineral edge.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and inviting. Raisins, dark dried fruits, chocolate and spiced Christmas cake.
Palate
Powerful and complex, with layers of caramel, orange peel, nuts and dark chocolate, underpinned by tobacco notes and spiced oak.

Sall Whisky 5 Years Fondillón Cask Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 55.4%

Item no.: 05555-74123

Fondillón is the wine of kings — produced in tiny quantities near Alicante in Spain, rarely seen beyond the Iberian peninsula. Maturing Danish whisky in these casks is not merely an experiment. It is the world's first distillery bottling of whisky finished in Fondillón casks — and it was made in Denmark.
Expert description
Sall Whisky 5 Year Fondillon Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in rare Fondillón casks from Alicante, bottled at 55.4% Vol. This is a historic release: World First Ex-Fondillón Distillery Bottling.
Fondillón is an oxidative red wine from the Monastrell grape, produced exclusively in the Alicante region in quantities so small that it rarely reaches international markets. Sall Whisky is a Single Farm Single Malt distillery near Ebeltoft in Central Jutland with full control over barley, malting and maturation. The result is a 100% organic Danish whisky at 55.4% with a wine cask profile never previously seen in Danish whisky history. 340 bottles, no chill filtration, no colouring added.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried orange peel and dark raisins from the Fondillón cask, with hints of fig and old wine cellar. Beneath the wine character lies Sall Whisky's clean malt and a gentle nutty sweetness.
Palate
Powerful and vinous with dark dried fruit, orange and a suggestion of dark chocolate. Malt and oak provide a steady foundation as the Fondillón cask takes clear command.
Finish
Long and lingering with dried fruits and a fine tannin grip from the Fondillón wine. Warm and complex — unlike almost anything else in Danish whisky.

Did you know?
Fondillón is documented in historical records from the 16th century, when it was served at European royal courts — hence the name "Wine of Kings". Today it is produced by only a handful of bodegas in the Alicante region, and Sall Whisky is the first distillery in the world to have bottled a distillate matured in these very casks.

Ben Nevis 1998/2025 Lady of the Glen 26 years old Single Highland Malt Whisky 43.2%

Item no.: 222225-5587

A refill hogshead gives up very little. It has been used before, the sugar layers are spent, and so it takes twenty-six years to reach where a first fill cask would have been at ten. In return, what you taste is the spirit and not the wood.
The expert's description
Ben Nevis 1998/2025 Lady of the Glen 26 years is a Single Highland Malt Whisky matured in a refill hogshead, cask no. 176, and bottled at 43.2 % without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled on 11 May 1998 and bottled on 4 April 2025. The cask yielded 276 bottles, and the strength of 43.2 % is what the cask gave after twenty-six years rather than the result of dilution. That says something about how long it lay and how much evaporated along the way.
Lady of the Glen is run by Gregor Hannah under Hannah Whisky Merchants and works consistently with natural colour, no chill filtration and bottling at the strength the cask offers. It is a line that lets the character of the distillery come through, and with Ben Nevis that is precisely the point.
Tasting notes
Nose
Tropical fruit with pineapple and passion fruit up front, then sweet malt and light pastry.
Palate
Soft and balanced with fruity sweetness, a creamy texture and discreet spice. The low cask strength makes it remarkably easy to drink for its age.
Finish
Long, warm and complex with fruit, malt and a last touch of oak.

Did you know?
A hogshead holds around 250 litres and is typically rebuilt from 200 litre American bourbon barrels by adding extra staves. The slightly larger volume gives a lower wood to liquid ratio, so the whisky matures more slowly.

The Whisky Trail White Peak Distillery 2018 Vintage Single Malt English Whisky 70 cl 52,4%

Item no.: 2222388-7447

In an old wireworks beside the River Derwent, surrounded by Derbyshire's UNESCO-listed industrial heritage, White Peak Distillery brews and distils a malt that borrows as much from brewing craft as from whisky tradition. This bottling was selected by Sukhinder Singh for Elixir Distillers' series The Whisky Trail and shows the distillery's style as it stood in its early years.
Expert's Description
The Whisky Trail White Peak Distillery 2018 Vintage is a Single Malt English Whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks and bottled at 52.4%.
White Peak Distillery was founded in 2016 by husband and wife Max and Claire Vaughan in the former Johnson & Nephew wireworks in Ambergate, within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The distillery ferments with both brewer's yeast from local brewer Thornbridge and traditional distiller's yeast, and part of the mash is made from lightly peated malt, giving the spirit a discreet smoky undertone beneath its fresh, fruity core. This bottling was distilled in 2018, bottled in 2025 from a small batch of four first fill bourbon casks, and is limited to 1,254 bottles.
The Whisky Trail is part of Elixir Trails, where Sukhinder Singh — co-founder of Elixir Distillers and one of the whisky world's most respected bottlers — selects single distilleries for their craft and character rather than name or hype.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers vanilla and soft caramel from the bourbon cask, backed by a faint smoky undertone and fresh apples.
Palate
The palate is fruity with ripe pear and citrus peel, while a soft malty sweetness and a hint of smoke add depth without taking over.
Finish
The finish is medium in length and spiced, with a final trace of wood smoke and vanilla powder.

2020. A good year for rye in Thy. The Whisky Trail chose to bottle it and put a year on it. Here is the result – a vintage rye whisky from one of Denmark's most locally rooted distilleries.
Expert description
The Whisky Trail Thy Whisky 2020 Vintage is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 50.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled in 2020 from certified organic rye at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland and bottled by The Whisky Trail – a respected bottler focused on exceptional distillate releases from Scandinavian and European distilleries. The 2020 vintage stamp places this as a specific harvest from that year.
Bottling with a year gives the whisky a traceability and identity anchor that anonymous releases lack. The rye from 2020 is now a whisky that speaks from a specific place and a specific time in Thy Whisky's history.

Macallan 18 years old Double Cask 2024 Single Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 43%

Item no.: 22227865467542

Eighteen years is not just a number. It is the point where European and American sherry oak have stopped competing and started speaking the same language. Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2024 is the result of that conversation.
Expert description
Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask 2024 Release is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and bottled at 43%. It combines the depth of European sherry oak — dried fruit, warm spice, dark chocolate — with the fruity and creamy contribution of American oak. The 2024 release is the latest annual release in the 18 Year Old Double Cask line, and with 18 years in cask the complexity and integration of the two cask types reaches its peak in the series.
The bottle works as a gift, as an occasion in itself and as the dram you open when you decide to take your time.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and sweet with orange marmalade, prunes and dried dates. Dark chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg with a hint of tobacco from European oak.
Palate
Full and complex — caramelised fruits, fig and a deep sherry sweetness. Warm spice with ginger and black pepper, and a beautiful richness from American oak.
Finish
Long and warm with dark wood, vanilla fudge and a lingering orange bitterness. The aftertaste carries for a long time.

The Double Cask series was Macallan's answer to whisky drinkers who found the Triple Cask series too complex. By reducing to two cask types — both sherry seasoned but from two different oak species — Macallan created a series that is easier to understand but still has plenty to discover.

Braeval 2000/2023 Signatory Vintage 23 Years is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky from Refill Oloroso Sherry Butt #6391, bottled at cask strength, 60.4%, without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled on 16 February 2000 and bottled on 3 April 2023 as part of Signatory Vintage's Cask Strength Collection. The cask gave 603 bottles.
Braeval, formerly Braes of Glenlivet, sits high in Speyside and is one of those distilleries found almost only in independent bottlings. High age combined with a quiet oloroso cask gives fruity complexity rather than heavy sherry sweetness.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried fruit and toffee apples with clove and lime zest on top.
Palate
Flower honey and baking spice with dried apricot, walnut and a firm oak core. Powerful, but never coarse.
Finish
Long and spiced with nuts, dark honey and a dry, warm close.

Did you know?
Oloroso sherry is aged oxidatively, that is, in contact with air, which gives nut and dried fruit rather than fresh grape notes. That is why oloroso casks are the most widely used sherry type for whisky.

Item no.: 222255-746563

Some bottles wait for decades before they are ready to tell their story. This one spent three decades in Dufftown's damp warehouses, and the result is one of the rarest releases Glenfiddich has ever let out the door.
