Bunnahabhain 2001/2025 Symingtons Choice 23 year old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59,5%

Item no.: 222233-8853

Andrew Symington has tasted his way through thousands of casks over the years, and when he puts his own name on a series, it's worth paying attention.
Expert's Description
Bunnahabhain 2001/2025 Symington's Choice 23 Years Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an oloroso sherry butt and bottled at cask strength, 59.5%.
Symington's Choice is Signatory Vintage's newer series, named in honour of the founder himself, gathering some of the most richly matured casks from the house's vast stock. This Bunnahabhain was distilled in October 2001 and rested for 23 years on cask #1438, before being bottled straight from the wood in April 2025.
The long maturation on oloroso sherry has given the whisky a deep, almost mahogany hue, and at 59.5% cask strength, every drop of water you add opens fresh layers in the glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark chocolate, dried plums and a warm spiciness of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Palate
Intense and full with sherry sweetness, walnuts and a wave of warmth that speaks to the cask strength.
Finish
Very long, dry and spicy with a final hint of espresso.

A Secret Orkney 15 year Emporium Exclusive Douglas Laing Old Particular Single Orkney Malt Whisky 61,7%

Item no.: 22233355-55665

North of the Scottish mainland lie the Orkney Islands, where the sea gnaws at the cliffs and the wind never quite settles. Only two distilleries call these islands home, and this time Douglas Laing has chosen to keep its cards close to its chest.

Expert Description

Old Particular Orkney's Finest 15 Year Emporium Exclusive is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky from an undisclosed Orkney distillery, matured in a Refill Hogshead and bottled at natural cask strength of 61.7%.

The bottle belongs to Douglas Laing's Old Particular range, where independently bottled single casks are presented with no added colour and no chill filtration, exactly as the spirit left the wood. This particular release forms part of the Emporium Exclusive Bottling, a hand-picked selection bottled at a noticeably higher strength than the range's usual 48.4%. Only 174 bottles were filled from the single Refill Hogshead, and neither the distillery nor the distillation year is disclosed on the label, a choice Douglas Laing deliberately makes on several of its Orkney releases. With only two distilleries on Orkney, the guessing game is part of the appeal. The style is true to the islands: a lightly smoky, salty character balanced by gentle spice and a clear malted barley backbone.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh sea air and candied ginger meet soft caramel and ripe pear, with a whisper of smoke waiting in the background.

Palate

Full-bodied and spiced, with black pepper and cinnamon carried by the high strength, which gives a warm grip on the palate while malted barley keeps everything grounded.

Finish

Long and salty, with lingering smoke and a final teasing note of spice.

Craigellachie 16 year old Emporium Exclusive Douglas Laing Old Particular Single Speyside Malt Whisky 51,4%

Item no.: 22233355-55664

Douglas Laing does not just select casks — it also selects who may sell them. Emporium Exclusive goes only to a handful of shops, and Whisky.dk is one of them.
Expert description
Craigellachie 16 years Emporium Exclusive is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled by Douglas Laing at 51.4% without chill filtration.
The cask gave 210 bottles and belongs to the Old Particular range, in which Douglas Laing bottles single casks from distilleries across Scotland. The Emporium Exclusive line is distributed through a small, carefully chosen group of specialist retailers. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and therefore makes a heavier, meatier spirit than the rest of Speyside — sixteen years in cask gives it time to unfold without losing the edge.
Tasting notes
Nose
Aromatic spices first, then liquorice, dark sweetness and a light herbal note. Behind them sit vanilla fudge and a touch of tropical fruit.
Palate
Powerful and layered. Spice, liquorice and malt meet vanilla fudge and a creamy sweetness that softens the intensity. The sulphurous distillery edge runs beneath as a mineral undercurrent.
Finish
Long and spiced, with liquorice, oak and a dry warmth that lingers.

Highland Park 27 year old The Kinship 2023 Single Orkney Malt Whisky 52,5%

Item no.: 222555-45540

Twenty-seven winters change a whisky. The peat that once stood sharp has settled into a low, steady hum, and the heather honey has had time to spread across the whole glass. Hunter Laing found the cask, left it a little longer, then emptied it in one go.
The expert's description
Highland Park 27 Year Old The Kinship 2023 Single Orkney Malt Whisky 52.5% is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky drawn from one refill hogshead and bottled without chill filtration at its natural cask strength of 52.5%.
The Kinship is Hunter Laing's annual collection of old single casks, presented around Fèis Ìle, the whisky festival on Islay. The Laing family has worked with casks for three generations out of Glasgow, and selection follows a single rule: the cask has to carry its own age. This bottling comes not from Islay but from Kirkwall on Orkney.
Highland Park has been distilling since 1798 and still dries part of its own malt over peat cut at Hobbister Moor, just outside Kirkwall. No trees grow on Orkney, so the peat is heather and moss rather than woody debris, and the smoke it gives is floral and aromatic instead of medicinal. After 27 years that smoke has sunk deep into the spirit.
A refill hogshead has held whisky before, so it gives less wood and more distillery. That is exactly what you want when a malt has to sit for almost three decades without turning dry and tannic. The cask yielded 268 bottles, filled in 2023 at natural colour.
Tasting notes
Nose
Baked pears and heather honey sit on top, with a ripe, earthy peat underneath that reads more like warm ash than a bonfire. Give it five minutes and beeswax and dried apricot arrive.
Palate
Sweetness leads. Honey, mandarin and a flick of passion fruit, before black pepper and dry oak spice tighten the grip. The 52.5% registers as warmth rather than heat.
Finish
Long and understated. The sweetness lingers, the smoke stays quietly in the back, and heather and a trace of salt close it out.

Bruichladdich 18 year old The Kinship 2023 Single Islay Malt Whisky 61,5%

Item no.: 222555-45539

On Islay, they say some casks simply wait for the right moment. This is one of them — 18 years in the dark, ready to be celebrated alongside the island's biggest news.
Expert description
Bruichladdich 18 Year Old The Kinship 2023 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Hunter Laing, matured in a single cask and bottled at cask strength, 61.5%.
The whisky is part of Hunter Laing's Kinship series, which in 2023 arrived at its seventh and final edition. The series was created to mark the opening of Hunter Laing's own distillery, Ardnahoe, on Islay, and the name Kinship refers to the closeness Ardnahoe shares with the island's other distilleries. The Bruichladdich bottling is the youngest in the closing edition, which otherwise spans whiskies as old as 33 years from names like Bowmore and Bunnahabhain.
The whisky comes from a single cask and is bottled at its natural cask strength, with no colouring or chill filtration. Only 245 bottles were drawn from this particular cask, making it one of the rarer releases in Hunter Laing's Islay portfolio.
Tasting notes
Nose
Black pepper and caramel, combined with a hint of macerated red berries. A richness runs through it all, hinting at the long maturation.
Palate
Baked apples, nutmeg and a distinct hint of French oak. The cask strength gives a solid bite, but never overpowers the fruit.
Finish
Long and spiced, with a lingering oak warmth that lingers on the palate long after the last sip.

Did you know?
The Kinship series was created to celebrate Hunter Laing finally opening its own distillery, Ardnahoe, after decades as a pure independent bottler. Ardnahoe sits on Islay's north-east coast, overlooking the very distilleries many of the series' bottles come from.

Bunnahabhain 33 year old The Kinship 2023 Single Islay Malt Whisky 48,8%

Item no.: 222555-45538

Thirty-three years is a long time to sit still in a cask, and when Hunter Laing finally bottles it, they do so with the reverence the age deserves.
Expert's Description
Bunnahabhain 33 Years Old The Kinship 2023 is a Single Islay Malt Whisky from a refill bourbon hogshead, bottled at natural cask strength, 48.8%.
The Kinship is Hunter Laing's prestigious series, honouring the Scotch whisky community and the regions that have made the country famous for its whisky. This 33 Years Old Bunnahabhain is bottled from a single cask in 2023, yielding just 292 bottles worldwide.
The long maturation shows Bunnahabhain's ability to craft rich, refined whisky without smoke, where the distillery's clean house style and coastal setting come through beautifully. The nose offers tropical fruits like pineapple and lime, joined by red cherries and a faint floral note.
On the palate the whisky unfolds with a fine balance between freshness and depth – the fruity notes continue with juicy citrus and ripe berries, while Bunnahabhain's signature maritime tones show through with a touch of sea salt.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Tropical fruits like pineapple and lime meet red cherries and a faint floral note.

Caol Ila 33 year old The Kinship 2023 Single Islay Malt Whisky 44,5%

Item no.: 222555-45537

Thirty-three years in a single cask. While Caol Ila has distilled and matured its well-known 12-year for Diageo's needs, this cask has waited – unseen and untouched – in a refill bourbon hogshead in a Scottish warehouse. Hunter Laing found it in 2023 for The Kinship: the series' most important bottling of the year.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 33 Years The Kinship Series Hunter Laing is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single refill bourbon hogshead, bottled at 44.5% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 300 bottles.
The Kinship is Hunter Laing's prestige series – one expression per distillery, released once a year. For 2023, the choice fell on this 33-year Caol Ila, which according to Hunter Laing itself celebrates the Scottish whisky community and the regions that have made Scotland world-famous.
Three decades in a refill bourbon hogshead give a Caol Ila that has changed: the smoke is there, but softened and integrated over time. This is not the young, salty Caol Ila – it is a mature, layered version of it.
Tasting notes
Nose
Light peat smoke with caramel, stewed fruit and soft beeswax. A salty sea breeze that immediately sets the scene on Islay's coast – but in a slower, more reflective tone than young bottlings.
Palate
Soft and layered. Clear maritime saltiness, seaweed and fresh oysters. The smoke is discreet and elegantly integrated, with room for deeper notes of oak, dried fruit and medicinal herbs. A bottling to spend time with.
Finish
Long, leathery and satisfying. Worn leather, glowing peat embers and a persistent salty close that is in no hurry.

Twelve years is a long time for an Arran — most bottles from Lochranza reach the shelf much younger. This one was left to sit, and you can taste it in every drop.
A single sherry hogshead, selected for the Danish market and bottled without a single addition.
Expert Description
Arran 2012/2025 Single Cask Denmark 12 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill sherry hogshead and bottled at 57.9%.
Distilled in September 2012, the whisky spent twelve years in a single 1st fill sherry cask before being drawn straight from the wood, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 288 bottles exist, all reserved for Denmark. Unlike several of the distillery's other single cask releases, this one carries no peat at all, leaving the sherry cask's nuance and Arran's own fruit character all the room they need.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried fig, date and raisin meet a fresh note of orange peel and a touch of nutmeg.
Palate
Dry yet full-bodied — dark chocolate and toasted nuts dance alongside ripe fruit, while the sherry's spiced warmth gives structure without weighing it down.

Long and lingering with coffee, cocoa and a mild spiced warmth that fades slowly.

Mackmyra Reserve Bertelsen Cask No.1 Svensk Single Malt Whisky 50 cl 48,3%

Item no.: 2222555-7413

In 2004, Mackmyra sold a small cask of raw, unpeated spirit to one of the men behind Whisky.dk. The cask took his name, and almost five years later it became 54 bottles of Swedish whisky that have never been recreated since.
The Expert's Description
Mackmyra Reserve Bertelsen Cask No.1 is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a 30-litre Swedish oak cask and bottled at 48.3%.
The story begins in 2004, when Mackmyra sold a small 30-litre cask of Swedish oak filled with unpeated new-make spirit to one of Whisky.dk's owners. The cask took the name Bertelsen Cask No.1 after the buyer, while another Whisky.dk co-owner received his own cask at the same time, since known as Olsen's Barrel.
After nearly five years of maturation in the small cask, the whisky arrived in Denmark as 54 bottles with a deep colour and a surprisingly full flavour for such a young cask. It was distilled on 8 November 2004 and bottled on 6 April 2009.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Clear oak character with vanilla and a touch of honey, supported by a light nutty sweetness.
Palate
Full-bodied and warm with notes of caramel and toasted oak, where the small cask's intense maturation is clearly felt.
Finish
Medium length with a dry, woody close and a last trace of sweetness.

Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1 Oloroso Cask Single Malt Danish Whisky 50,3%

Item no.: 2227822-741

Cask number one. Sall Whisky's first retailer single cask – bottled from a single oloroso sherry cask for the retailers who wanted to be first with an exclusive edition of the North Jutland single farm malt.
Expert description
Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1 Oloroso Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.3% from Sall Whisky in Djursland. It is the distillery's first "retailer cask" – a single cask chosen and bottled specifically for selected retailers. The cask is an oloroso sherry cask, which adds a sweet, nutty sherry character with dark fruits and dried grapes to Sall Whisky's organic single farm malt. 50.3% is a good strength to show the sherry cask's nuances without losing the malt's grain character.
Tasting notes
Nose
The oloroso sherry's sweet, nutty character meets Sall Whisky's clean Jutland single farm malt. Dried grapes, hazelnut and a light spiciness from the sherry cask.
Palate
50.3% gives a good balance. The sherry cask's sweetness and nuts are clear, but the grain base is still visible – lightly fruity and organic beneath the classic oloroso character.
Finish
Long and warm with oloroso sherry's nutty and lightly sweet close.

Did you know?
Oloroso is one of the driest sherry styles – it is made without the protective biological flor film that characterises fino and manzanilla, and instead oxidises slowly. This gives oloroso casks a dense, nutty and sweet profile that is easily recognisable in whisky. For Sall Whisky's clean single farm malt, it is an exciting partnership.

Item no.: 059755-7757

Some whiskies need decades to truly find themselves. This 20-year-old Ballechin is one of the clearest examples of what patience and good oak can do for a peated whisky.
The expert's description
Edradour Ballechin 20 years old 2004/2024 Bourbon Barrels is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon casks and bottled at 52.8%.
The whisky was distilled in the spring of 2004 and spent a full 20 years in bourbon casks before being bottled in March 2024. Those long years on wood have given it an unusual depth, where Ballechin's forceful peat has gradually been softened by the vanilla and sweetness of American oak. With 2,016 bottles, this is one of the larger releases in the series, but still a rare chance to taste what two decades of maturation do to a peated Highland whisky.
Tasting notes
Nose
Smoked vanilla meets grilled pineapple and heather honey, with hints of leather and dried coconut. Malt and oak sit as a deeper undercurrent.
Palate
Silky in texture, where the bourbon cask's sweetness weaves together with layers of peat smoke, caramelised nuts, citrus oil and cinnamon.
Finish
Long, warm and lingering, with dried fruit, sweet oak, ash and a hint of dark chocolate.

Edradour Ballechin 13 year old SFTC 2004/2018 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 53,3%

Item no.: 059755-7756

In a green Perthshire valley, Edradour's tiny copper stills have been distilling whisky since 1825. But there's another, smokier side to this quiet farm distillery. Ballechin takes its name from a neighbouring distillery that closed nearly a century ago, and the name now lives on in these heavily peated bottlings.
The expert's description
Edradour Ballechin 13 years old SFTC 2004/2018 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a port cask and bottled at 53.3%.
The whisky belongs to the Straight From The Cask series, where every bottling comes from a single cask with no filtration and no added colour. This particular release was distilled in April 2004 and matured for 13 years in cask no. 199, a port cask that has given the whisky a deep reddish-brown hue and a wine-like sweetness that meets Ballechin's signature peat smoke head-on. The series has long been discontinued, and only 396 bottles were drawn from this one cask.
Tasting notes
Nose
Red berries and dark chocolate arrive first, quickly followed by pecans and damp oak. The port cask lends a sweet, almost wine-like depth that melts into a heavy, earthy peat smoke.
Palate
Strawberries and dark brown sugar sit in layers over the peat, which is present without ever taking over. Spiced oak, caramel and a touch of dried herbs round things off.
Finish
Long and lingering, with flamed orange peel, dark smoke and black pepper, closing on warm spice and a sweetness that takes its time to fade.

Cambus 1991/2024 Coopers Choice 32 Years Old Bourbon Cask Finish Single Grain Scotch Whisky 47,5%

Item no.: 2222666321-5543

264 bottles. That is everything that came out of thirty-two years in a single bourbon cask. Evaporation took the rest, and what remains is concentrated in a way young whiskies cannot imitate.
Expert description
Cambus 1991/2024 Coopers Choice 32 Years is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky from Bourbon Cask #79880, bottled at 47.5% without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled in September 1991 at the now closed Cambus distillery and bottled in January 2024 as part of the Cooper's Choice series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Company. The cask gave 264 bottles.
After thirty-two years the strength sits at 47.5%, which tells you the cask lost some power along the way. That is typical of very long maturation in a quiet warehouse and gives a softer whisky than bottlings still above 50%.
Tasting notes
Nose
Vanilla custard and coconut macaroon with ripe banana and a trace of pale oak.
Palate
Very soft and creamy with fudge, honey and white chocolate. The age reads as texture rather than as wood.
Finish
Long, soft and sweet with vanilla, grain and a fine, dry close.

Item no.: 222355-9877

Fifteen years on American oak and a final chapter on a single Malaga wine cask. Cooper's Choice has captured Tamnavulin in a rare, sun-warmed expression sweetened by Andalusia's dessert wine.
Expert description
Tamnavulin Distillery 2009/2024 Cooper's Choice 15 Year Old Malaga Cask is a Single Speyside Scotch Whisky, matured in American oak casks with a finishing period in a Malaga wine cask and bottled at 50%.
Cooper's Choice is one of Scotland's most respected independent bottling series, created by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, founded in 1992 by Brian Crook after many years as export director for one of Scotland's most renowned distilleries.

This expression was distilled at Tamnavulin in 2009 and bottled in 2024, having first matured in American oak casks before finishing in a single Malaga wine cask, Cask No. 0772. Malaga is a sweet, sun-ripened Spanish dessert wine, and the cask lends the whisky a distinctive winey sweetness and depth not found in the distillery's standard core range.
Tasting notes
Nose
Raisin and dried fig meet caramelised sugar and a light touch of dark chocolate.

Sweet and full-bodied with notes of blackcurrant, brown sugar and a spiced hint of nutmeg.

Octomore The Beast Bruichladdich 167 ppm Super Heavily Peated Single Malt Whisky 60,5%

Item no.: 2233-91236

The Beast has a name that doesn't lie. 167 ppm makes this Octomore one of the smokiest encounters you can have with a whisky, and yet citrus and honey hide beneath the ash.
Expert description
Octomore The Beast is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 6 years and bottled at 60.5%.
The whisky has a phenol content of 167 ppm, making it one of the most heavily peated whiskies in the world. It was distilled in 2008 and matured for five years in American first-fill bourbon casks, as part of the Octomore series The Futures.
The bottle was released as a limited edition with a total of 9,600 bottles worldwide, one of the larger outputs in the Octomore family, yet still a sought-after release for peat lovers.
Tasting notes
Nose
Intense smoke reminiscent of a campfire with fresh ash, gradually giving way to citrus, honey, caramel and vanilla.
Palate
Powerful smoky experience with warmth from the alcohol, initially dominated by citrus fruit and floral honey, with a maritime, mineral edge and notes of oak and caramel.

Long and complex with a dry ash aftertaste.

The Antiquary 21 Years Old Port Cask Blended Scotch Whisky 40%

Item no.: 059763-615-53-2025

Port wine's dark sweetness has had three years to sink into an already 21 year old blend. The result is deep, jammy and spiced.
Expert description
The Antiquary 21 Year Old Port Cask is a blended Scotch whisky matured for at least 21 years and then married in Port Casks, casks that previously held tawny Port wine, before bottling at 40% ABV.
The Port casks come from the Symington family's estates in Portugal, and the whisky has been allowed to rest in them for up to three years after its long base maturation, giving it a markedly deeper and sweeter profile than the house's standard 21 year old.
The Antiquary was founded by the Hardie brothers in Edinburgh and is now owned by Tomatin Distillery Co, which relaunched the brand in 2024 with a new trio of blends, of which this Port Cask expression is one.
Tasting notes
Nose
Floral peat, waxy hessian and drying hay, carried by vanilla and freshly brewed coffee.
Palate
Stewed plums, dark berry jam and a hint of chocolate-dipped orange.
Finish
Smoky, meaty malt that slowly gives way to a warm, Port-like sweetness.

Loch Lomond 22 Years Old 153rd Open Royal Portrush Limited Edition 2025 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865397-18382025-2

Sometimes a whisky is not just a celebration of a golf tournament, but also a story about the sea. Loch Lomond's 22 Year Old The Open Course Collection takes its final maturation in Spanish oak – a nod to a shipwreck that has rested off Portrush's coast since 1588.
Expert's Description
Loch Lomond 22 Year Old The Open Course 2025 153rd Royal Portrush is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak with a Spanish oak finish and bottled at 46.7%.
The whisky was distilled in 2002 using spirit exclusively from the distillery's unique straight neck pot stills and matured for over 21 years in American oak before receiving a six-month finish in specially toasted virgin Spanish oak from the distillery's own cooperage. The Spanish oak is a tribute to the Spanish Armada ship La Girona, which sank off the coast of Portrush in 1588. Master Blender Michael Henry crafted this expression, with just 3,500 bottles available worldwide. The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Toasted oak, crisp apple and fresh ginger with soft vanilla and gentle spice.
Palate
Toffee and ripe pineapple followed by bright lemon zest and warming cinnamon.
Finish
Long and satisfying, with lingering oak spice, soft smoke and gentle warmth.

Dumbarton 23 Years Old Dram Mor Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 57,1%

Item no.: 222278653434-88

Twenty-three years is a long time for a grain whisky. Long enough that the cereal stops tasting of cereal and starts tasting of a bakery, and just short enough that the cask has not taken over.
The expert description
Dumbarton 23 Years Old Dram Mor is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in a refill bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength 57.1%.
Dumbarton on the river Clyde closed in 2002 and was later demolished. The distillery supplied grain whisky to some of the largest blends in Scotland, and only rarely did any of it appear in its own right. With every year that passes, the remaining casks grow fewer.
Dram Mor selected cask number 211885, a refill bourbon barrel that still stood at 57.1% after twenty-three years. The whisky is bottled without chill filtration and without added colour, and the cask gave 182 bottles. The name Dram Mor means big dram in Gaelic.
Tasting notes
Nose
Creamy vanilla with a hint of cherry tart and sweet, buttery shortcrust pastry.
Palate
Sweet and buttery with a surprisingly three-dimensional depth for a single grain. Delicate spices tie it together and keep the sweetness in place.
Finish
Warming and more robust than you might expect, in the best possible way, closing with oak and dried fruit.

Medium. Dumbarton is closed and demolished, the bottling comes from one cask, and only 182 bottles exist. Old grain whisky from silent Lowland distilleries has drawn considerably more collector attention in recent years than it did a decade ago.
Did you know?
Grain whisky matures more slowly than malt because the spirit is cleaner and carries fewer heavy compounds for the wood to work on. That is why an age statement like twenty-three years is unremarkable here, while the same years on a malt would often leave the cask in charge.

GlenAllachie 8 Years Old Dram Mor Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 53,8%

Item no.: 22227865391-734

Picture a bottling where only 194 siblings exist in the whole world. This 8 year old GlenAllachie comes straight from a single first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead selected by Dràm Mòr, carrying all the dark, sticky sweetness a sherry cask can impart in such a short time.
Expert's description
GlenAllachie 8 year old Dràm Mòr is an independently bottled Speyside single malt whisky, distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2024 from a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead, cask no. 210, at cask strength 53.8%.
Dràm Mòr is a Scottish independent bottler that specializes in tracking down single casks with character rather than chasing a uniform house style. With this release, they have captured some of the best GlenAllachie's distillery can deliver: a spirit robust enough to stand up to an active sherry cask without being overwhelmed by it.
Eight years might not sound like much in whisky terms, but in a first-fill cask the wood works fast. The result is a dram that tastes older than its age – dark, spicy and with a richness usually associated with far more mature releases.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet dark fruits meet raisins and stewed plums, while lightly toasted honey notes sit beneath, adding depth without weighing things down.
Palate
Full-bodied and spicy from the first sip, with sticky ginger cake and a whole array of Christmas spices spreading across the palate.

Warm and long, with the spice and sherry sweetness lingering well after the last sip.

Glenrothes 18 years old from Scottish independent bottler Dràm Mòr was distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2024, and has matured the whole way in a single 1st fill Oloroso sherry hogshead – cask #7479.
With only 330 bottles from this one cask, and bottled at 55.2% with no chill-filtration or added colouring, this is a whisky that shows Glenrothes' sherried character in a very concentrated, intense form.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Spanish sun-dried fruit in abundance, backed by warm, spiced Spanish oak.
Palate
A luxurious, full-bodied sherry bomb, with stewed dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, ginger and cinnamon, plus a hint of old leather and alcohol-soaked prunes.
Finish
Very long and warming, gentle and pleasant all the way down.

Highland Park 18 Years Old Dram Mor Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57,1%

Item no.: 505956-597250-277

One cask. Not a selection, not a marriage of many, but a single hogshead filled in 2006 and emptied again eighteen years later. Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald bottled it exactly as it stood: no filtration, no colouring, no water. What is in the bottle is what was in the wood.
The expert's description
Highland Park 18 Year Old Dràm Mòr Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57.1% is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky drawn from one hogshead and bottled without chill filtration at cask strength of 57.1%.
Dràm Mòr is a small Scottish bottling house in Dumbarton, started in 2019 by husband and wife Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald. They began as an export agency for Scotch before buying casks of their own, and the company now ships its bottlings to 14 countries. Every cask is tasted and picked individually, and everything goes out at full strength with natural colour.
The spirit went into wood in 2006 and was bottled in 2024 after 18 years in hogshead no. 3535. A hogshead holds roughly 250 litres and is built from the staves of American bourbon barrels, rebuilt with an extra stave and fresh ends. It is larger than the barrel it came from, so the ratio of liquid to wood is lower. Maturation runs slower, and the distillery character stays in place instead of being overrun by oak. The cask gave 292 bottles.
Cask strength here means no water was added after maturation. The 57.1% carries the oils and heavy aroma compounds that dilution would otherwise push into the background, and without chill filtration the texture stays thick and faintly waxy. In return the whisky wants a few minutes in the glass before it opens up.
Tasting notes
Nose
Salt seaweed and dry straw meet honey and dried heather. Behind them sits a thin veil of smoke, closer to cool ash than open fire, and a twist of lemon peel.
Palate
Powerful and oily. Citrus and lemon sorbet cut through first, then roasted pears and a clear note of white pepper. The smoke settles lightly on top and keeps the sweetness in check.
Finish
Long and warm. The pepper hangs on, and at the end Highland Park's peat unfolds and rounds everything off with a dry, earthy tone.

High. The bottling comes from one cask with an outturn of 292 bottles, it carries 18 years of age and it is filled at full strength, and Highland Park is among the distilleries collectors keep an eye on. Once the cask is empty, this whisky is not made again.
Did you know?
The name Dràm Mòr is Gaelic and means something close to the big dram. The accents over the a and the o are part of the spelling and tell you how the name is pronounced in Scottish Gaelic.

Medium. Diageo's annual Special Releases are sought after by collectors for their limited availability and experimental cask choices, and previous years' releases have generally shown rising value on the secondary market.
Did You Know?
Mortlach's six stills each have their own nickname, and the three spirit stills are notably smaller than the wash stills, contributing to the distillery's heavy, sulphury character.
