  • Big Peat Douglas Laing Blended Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 46% 46
    Item no.: 22227865468-15

    The ultimate distillation of Islay — four distilleries in one bottle.

    Expert description

    Big Peat Douglas Laing Blended Islay Malt Whisky is the series' core expression, a blend of single malt whisky from several Islay distilleries, bottled at 46%. Big Peat was launched in 2009 by independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co as the first in the company's 'Remarkable Regional Malts' series. The idea was to create the 'ultimate distillation of Islay' by blending single malt whisky from several of the island's distilleries, including Caol Ila, Bowmore and Ardbeg, without using grain whisky. Big Peat is non-chill filtered, with no colouring added. Each year Douglas Laing releases a Christmas Edition of Big Peat at natural cask strength, and at Islay's Fèis Ìle whisky festival, special limited editions are regularly released.

  • Boann Distillery Triple Distilled Single Pot Still Marsala Cask bottle
    Item no.: 22227865424-1944725

    Casks from the legendary Brown-Forman in Kentucky, originally used for bourbon, get a new life at Boann Distillery, where they are filled with a pot still distillate made from four Irish grains.

    Expert Review

    Boann Distillery Triple Distilled Single Pot Still Marsala Cask is a Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey matured in former bourbon casks with a marsala finish, bottled at 47%.

    The whiskey is originally matured in former bourbon casks from the renowned Brown-Forman in Kentucky, made from American oak at 200 litres with heavy charring. Boann Distillery filled these casks with a Single Pot Still distillate made from malted barley, unmalted barley, oats and rye, all Irish grains grown locally. The distillate is triple distilled, giving a cleaner and more rounded base character, before the finishing marsala cask adds body and sweetness.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Grain sweetness and a light wine-driven tone from the marsala casks.

    Palate

    Round and full, with notes of dried fruit and spice.

    Finish

    Medium, with lingering grain sweetness.

  • Boulder Spirits Bottled In Bond American Single Malt Whiskey 50% ABV
    Item no.: 22227865395-9844-WU22005

    Cask strength, one distilling season, one distiller — Bottled in Bond holds the strictest standard in American whiskey law.

    Expert description

    Boulder Spirits Bottled In Bond American Single Malt Whiskey follows the 1897 US Bottled-in-Bond Act, requiring the whiskey to be distilled in one season by one distiller at one distillery, aged at least four years in a bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 50%. Boulder Spirits was founded by Scotsman Alastair Brogan, who moved to Colorado in 2011 and started the distillery as Vapor Distillery. The goal was to create a single malt whiskey 'unique to Colorado with a Scottish accent'. The distillery installed one of Colorado's largest copper pot stills and helped establish the American Single Malt Whiskey category, which was only officially recognised in the US in 2025.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers caramel, vanilla and spiced oak.

    Palate

    The palate is full and powerful with caramel, honey and pronounced oak spice.

  • Bowmore 9 Year Islay Single Malt Whisky bourbon sherry honey peat smoke discontinued
    Item no.: 2226699-53

    Nine years is not long, but this is Islay — and Bowmore at that. It gives you a whisky that tastes more mature than most 9-year-olds from anywhere else. Smoke, coast and a layer of honey that needs no more time to convince.

    Expert's description

    Bowmore 9 Year is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 40%. A discontinued bottling from the distillery on the shores of Loch Indaal — a shorter, more youthful take on Bowmore's characteristic profile. Matured in carefully selected bourbon and sherry casks in the iconic No. 1 Vaults, which sit partially below sea level. The maritime climate leaves its mark here: salty air, stable temperatures and the constant presence of the Atlantic. As an Islay whisky from the island's oldest distillery, Bowmore 9 Year carries the characteristic balance between peat smoke and sweetness — just in a lighter register than the older expressions. An interesting tasting experience for those who want to see what Bowmore does with younger casks.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and open with peat, honey and a touch of caramel. Sea salt present behind a light fruity note.

    Taste

    Medium body with peat smoke, honey and dark chocolate. The bourbon cask brings clean sweetness; the sherry adds a gentle dark fruit undertone.

    Finish

    Short to medium, clean and lightly smoky with a lingering honey warmth.

  • Classic Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old bottle Single Islay Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865392-8065

    For years, this 12 Years Old was more or less all you could expect from Bunnahabhain – light, delicate and just a little different from the rest of Islay.

    Expert's Description

    Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old is a Single Islay Malt Whisky bottled without chill filtration and without added colour at 46.3%.

    The 12 Years Old is the distillery's best-known bottle and the gateway to Bunnahabhain's light, unpeated style – a style that stands well apart from its neighbours' peated whiskies on Islay. The whisky won gold at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2011.

    It's a whisky that proves Islay holds more than peat smoke, and that freshness and elegance can be just as defining as smoke.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    A remarkably fresh, aromatic hit of sea air with a faint hint of smoke.

    Palate

    Light and clean with fruit, olives and nuts, moving into heavier, malty-sweet tones.

    Finish

    Strikingly malty, fresh and a touch dry.

  • Bunnahabhain Mòine bottle with dark peated whisky
    Item no.: 22227865392-8049

    "Mòine" means peat in Gaelic, and the name leaves no doubt about what waits once the bottle is opened.

    Expert's Description

    Bunnahabhain Mòine is a Single Islay Malt Whisky distilled from peated malt and bottled at 46.3%.

    Mòine shows the other side of Bunnahabhain – the smoky one – and does it with a depth that matches the distillery's classic maritime character. Peat smoke, sweet malt and a spiced warmth play together without the whisky losing its elegance.

    It's a full and authentic Islay experience for those seeking smoky complexity without compromising on finesse in the glass.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Peat smoke and a maritime breeze meet sweet malt and a touch of spice.

    Palate

    Full-bodied with smoke, sweet malt and a balanced spiced warmth.

    Finish

    Medium length and smoky with a touch of sea air at the very end.

  • Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair bottle with golden sherry colour
    Item no.: 22227865392-8045

    "Stiùireadair" means helmsman in Scottish Gaelic, a nod to the distillery's life on the edge of the Sound of Islay, where the tide toward Jura demands a steady hand.

    Expert's Description

    Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair is a Single Islay Malt Whisky matured in a combination of first- and second-fill sherry casks and bottled at 46.3%.

    The whisky is assembled from older, seasoned sherry casks, giving it a round, soft character without drowning out the distillery's core light, maritime style. It shows Bunnahabhain's unpeated side rather than the island's more familiar peat smoke.

    Stiùireadair is meant as a permanent fixture in the range and a fine introduction to how Bunnahabhain sounds when the sherry cask is allowed to speak the loudest.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit, caramel and vanilla with a touch of salty sea air.

    Palate

    Creamy and balanced with burnt sugar, raisins, toasted nuts and a hint of spice.

    Finish

    Long and soft with warm spices, sherry sweetness and a maritime edge.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278347

    A Norwegian king in a kilt is not the first thing you associate with Islay. But Magnus Barelegs fought alongside the Celts in the late 1000s, and he has lent his name to a whisky just as unafraid of standing out.

    Expert description

    Bårelegs Battle Axe is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 55.7% without chill filtration, released as a small batch.

    Behind the brand stand the Islay Boys, Donald MacKenzie from Port Charlotte and Mackay Smith from Portnahaven. Both are from the island and started blending and bottling whisky themselves with the aim of making something that tasted of Islay without costing a fortune in marketing.

    Battle Axe is the most powerful of the expressions in the range and is bottled at high strength without filtration. The peat is present but held back in favour of fruit from the cask, which makes the profile different from the classic smoke monsters of the island's south coast.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pear and peach with nutty notes from old oak and a fine layer of peat smoke underneath.

    Palate

    Round and full with date, walnut and citrus blossom. The smoke arrives late and never takes over.

    Finish

    Medium and warm with nuts, citrus and a last trace of peat.

  • Cadenheads Seven Stars bottle with classic white label
    Item no.: 22225390-7549

    Scotland's oldest independent bottler pulls a forgotten name out of the cellar and dusts it off. Seven Stars is not a bottle that shouts. It whispers about old warehouses in Campbeltown and about a time when a blend had to prove itself with flavour.

    Expert description

    Cadenheads 7-Stars is a Blended Scotch Whisky finished in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46%.

    Seven Stars revives a historic Cadenhead's brand originally bottled to show that outstanding whisky could be made by blending carefully chosen casks from the house's own stocks. Wm Cadenhead was founded in 1842 and is Scotland's oldest independent bottler, today run by J & A Mitchell, the people behind Springbank and Glengyle.

    The contents combine malt and grain whisky from distilleries across Scotland with the weight on the grain share. After blending, the whisky is finished in oloroso sherry casks, and that is where the character gains depth, body and a darker tone.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Raisin and dried fig with malted grain, orange peel and a stroke of toasted nut.

    Palate

    Soft and creamy with toffee, dark fruit and a fine sherry spice. The 46% carries more weight than a standard blend.

    Finish

    Medium and dry with nuts, grain and a lightly bitter oak note.

    Expert description

    Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Islay Malt Whisky is the distillery's official age-stated core expression, matured for at least 12 years, bottled at 43%. Caol Ila Distillery was founded in 1846 on the shore of the Sound of Islay, from which the distillery also takes its name — Gaelic for 'Sound of Islay'. The distillery is today owned by Diageo and is one of Islay's largest producers, although much of its output has traditionally gone into blended whisky such as Johnnie Walker. Despite its peated character, Caol Ila is often somewhat lighter and more elegant than several of Islay's other distilleries.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is smoky with sea breeze, citrus and a hint of grain.

    Palate

    The palate offers smoke, citrus and light sweetness.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279785

    James Eadie is a Worcestershire-based independent bottler with a single aim: to find casks that say something interesting. For this batch of Caol Ila from 2012, they chose refill bourbon casks and made a small batch – a blended vatting delivering more consistency than a single cask.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 2012/2020 James Eadie 8 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in refill bourbon casks (small batch), bottled at 46% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

    James Eadie is an independent bottler from Worcestershire, England, founded by Tristan Eadie as a revival of the family's historic whisky trade from the 19th century. Their small batch approach combines casks for consistency and accessibility over single-cask variation.

    Refill bourbon casks give a discreet wood influence that lets the distillate's own character come through. For Caol Ila at 8 years, that means clean, fresh and maritime smoke – toffee, sea mist and green apples.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Toffee, sea mist and green apples – fresh and direct with a clear note of Caol Ila's peat smoke. No heavy wood influence, just the distillate's own voice.

    Palate

    Light and fresh. Smoke, fresh citrus and a soft toffee sweetness. Good balance for the age – accessible and clean.

    Finish

    Relatively short but clean. Smoke and salt with a fresh, green close.

    Item no.: 059763-615-996

    There is no age on the label, and that is deliberate. Gold Reserve is about what toasted wood does to Cardhu's honey, not about how many winters have passed.

    Expert description

    Cardhu Gold Reserve Cask Selection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in toasted oak casks and bottled at 40%.

    The casks were chosen for their toast rather than their age. Toasted oak draws out caramel and baked fruit, and that is exactly what lifts Cardhu's pale, honeyed core into something deeper. The result is a malt with more dark chocolate and ripe orchard fruit than the 12 year old, but with the same soft mouthfeel. Without an age statement the distillery is free to pick casks by flavour rather than by calendar.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Baked apple and honey first, then caramel and a warm, toasted note from the wood. A light floral sweetness sits behind.

    Palate

    Soft and round. Caramel, ripe pear, honey and a touch of dark chocolate. The toast brings a dry warmth towards the end that keeps the sweetness from turning dull.

    Finish

    Short to medium, soft and lightly spiced, with cocoa and malt at the close.

Virginia is often considered the birthplace of American whiskey, as rye whiskey was distilled here as far back as Jamestown in 1607, long before bourbon became Kentucky's signature spirit.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers rye bread, pepper and a hint of citrus.

    Palate

    The palate is spicy with rye grain, honey and light spice.

    Finish

    The finish is medium to long, dry and spicy.

  • Clynelish 14 years Coastal Highland single malt bottle in golden light
    Item no.: 22227865392-37

    There is a texture in Clynelish that nobody quite explains. Candle wax, beeswax, something that coats the tongue and stays there. Whisky people simply call it waxy and leave it at that.

    Expert description

    Clynelish 14 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in oak casks and bottled at 46%.

    The distillery sits on the coast in Sutherland, where the original Clynelish was founded in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford. When a new distillery was built across the road in 1968, the old one was renamed Brora and closed in 1983. Clynelish is today one of the main ingredients in Johnnie Walker, but the 14 year old is where the distillery character stands at its clearest: maritime, waxy and with a freshness you do not find further south.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Citrus peel and sea salt first, then wax, vanilla and heather. A cool, mineral note runs underneath it all and points straight at the coast.

    Palate

    Creamy and lively. Ripe fruit, malt, honey and a suggestion of smoke, carried by that distinctive waxy mouthfeel. The 46% gives bite without tightening things up.

    Finish

    Long, dry and elegant, with maritime nuances, pepper and a mild spiced warmth fading slowly.

    Did you know?

    The waxy character is unintentional. It comes from feed pipes at Clynelish that are not fully cleaned, letting an oily layer build up and mark the spirit. When the system was thoroughly scrubbed in the 1970s the wax vanished, and it took years to coax it back.

  • Compass Box Nectarosity blended malt bottle in pale design
    Item no.: 22227865475-19135

    The name is invented, and it fits rather well. Nectarosity tries to catch the fruit sweetness that appears when pale malt and active American oak are given long enough together.

    Expert description

    Compass Box Nectarosity is a Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The whisky matured in a combination of first fill bourbon casks, refill sherry puncheons and custom made American oak casks. The three cask types pull in different directions — vanilla and coconut from the bourbon wood, dried fruit from the sherry, and a softer spiced sweetness from the bespoke oak. Compass Box has since 2000 worked on the principle that the recipe should be told openly, and the house publishes the composition of its blends.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Peach, apricot and pale honey. Under the fruit sit vanilla, coconut and a light floral note.

    Palate

    Fruit-sweet and round. Caramel, ripe pear, orange and vanilla, with a malt core keeping the sweetness in check. The 46% gives a decent grip without turning hard.

    Finish

    Medium and soft, with honey, pale caramel and a dry, spiced close.

    Item no.: 22227865382-1

    Most Irish whiskeys avoid peat, but Connemara does the opposite, drawing inspiration from Ireland's older distilling traditions, where peat smoke was a natural part of the process.

    Expert Review

    Connemara Peated Irish Single Malt Whiskey is a peated Irish Single Malt Whiskey, bottled at 40%.

    The whiskey draws inspiration from Ireland's older distilling traditions, where peat was often used to dry the malted grain, a practice now rare among Irish whiskeys. The malt is dried over peat fire, giving Connemara a velvety base character with a distinct yet balanced peat note. The whiskey has a light, golden colour and a silky palate.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Smoky peat with hints of heather and honey.

    Palate

    Silky, with honey, malt and dried fruit, balanced by peat and vanilla.

    Finish

  • Copper Dog Speyside blended malt bottle with copper dog motif
    Item no.: 22227865425-8007

    A copper dog was a home-made tube that distillery workers dropped into casks to smuggle whisky out in a trouser pocket. The name is a nod to that small crime.

    Expert description

    Copper Dog is a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky built from eight distilleries and bottled at 40%.

    All eight distilleries sit in Speyside, and the whisky is conceived as a distillation of the region's style rather than a portrait of one house. Copper Dog was developed at the bar of the Craigellachie Hotel, which is also where the name comes from — distillery workers used a small copper tube to draw an unauthorised sample from a cask. Diageo is behind the bottling.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fruit-driven and light. Apple, pear and honey first, then a lightly spiced note over a warm malted base.

    Palate

    Soft and round. Honey, ripe fruit and pale vanilla, with a touch of cinnamon and malt. There are no edges here — it is built to go down easily.

    Finish

    Short to medium, malty and lightly sweet, with a mild spiced warmth at the end.

    Item no.: 505956-498796-31

    Fifty percent on a blend is rare today. It was not in post-war America, where 100 proof stood for something you did not have to apologise for.

    Expert description

    Cutty Black 100 Proof is a Blended Whisky bottled at 50% in a 75 cl bottle.

    The 100 proof designation comes from the American system, where the proof figure is exactly double the alcohol percentage. The 75 cl format and the black label place the bottle in an earlier era, when the Cutty Sark house ran several parallel expressions for different markets. The higher strength gives more body and a longer finish than the ordinary bottlings from the same family.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Malt and dried fruit first, then honey, oak and a warm spiced note from the strength.

    Palate

    Full and powerful. Cereal, caramel and orange peel, with a dry oak edge and a peppery warmth that the fifty percent carries without burning.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with malt, nuts and a persistent spiced warmth.

    Item no.: 505956-498796-147

    Nobody keeps the half bottle. It gets drunk, packed in a bag or taken to the cabin — which is exactly why the old ones are hard to find in good condition.

    Expert description

    Cutty Sark Yellow Label is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40% in a 37.5 cl bottle.

    The yellow label has followed Cutty Sark since 1923, when the Scottish artist James McBey drew it for Berry Bros & Rudd's new blend. The half bottle format was made for travel, bars and gift sets, and for that reason very few were ever kept. The contents are the same pale, fruity blend of around twenty Speyside malts and grain whisky that made the bottle known worldwide.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and fresh. Grass, citrus and coconut, with vanilla and a trace of malt behind.

    Palate

    Light and soft. Vanilla, apple and cereal, with American oak and a mild spiced warmth. No edges, no smoke.

    Item no.: 22227865459-20

    Scotland's highest and coldest distillery sits 355 metres up in the Cairngorms. The cold is not a drawback — it is the whole reason the whisky comes out so clean and floral.

    Expert description

    Dalwhinnie 15 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.

    The distillery has produced since 1897 at Glen Truim in the Cairngorms National Park and is both the highest and coldest in Scotland. The water comes from Allt an t'Sluic, a source no other distillery may use, and it runs through local peat on the way down. Dalwhinnie is the Highland representative in Diageo's Classic Malts range, and the 15 year old is the core expression.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and elegant. Heather, honey and a lightly vinous grape note, with vanilla and a trace of peat in the background.

    Palate

    Soft and clean. Honey, malt and heather, with a creamy texture and a mild spiced warmth. There is a clear fruit sweetness held in place by a dry edge.

    Item no.: 22227865459-215

    There are not many whiskies the producer asks you to put in the freezer. Winter's Gold is one of them — and it genuinely improves for it.

    Expert description

    Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.

    The bottle is built from whisky distilled in the winter months, when Dalwhinnie's already cold position in the Cairngorms gives the slowest condensing of the year. The producer recommends keeping the bottle in the freezer and pouring the whisky ice cold, where the texture thickens and the sweetness comes forward. It is an unusual recommendation in Scotch whisky, but it makes sense with this particular style.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Honey and heather first, then vanilla, ripe fruit and a lightly spiced note. Cool and clean in expression.

    Palate

    Soft and creamy. Honey, malt and pale fruit, with a full mouthfeel that thickens further when the whisky is cold. The sweetness is clear but never cloying.

    Finish

    Medium and soft, with honey, vanilla and a mild spiced warmth.

    David Nicholson Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a reserve edition of the brand's classic wheated recipe, bottled at 50%. David Nicholson started in 1843 as a grocer who distilled his own bourbon recipe in the back room of his general store in St. Louis. The recipe, a wheated mash bill, was passed down unaltered through generations, and later the brand's iconic '43' bourbon was hand-crafted by none other than Julian 'Pappy' Van Winkle and W.L. Weller at the Stitzel distillery. The Van Winkle family owned the brand until 2000, when it was acquired by Luxco.

    No caramel colouring, no filtration, no rush. Deanston took the harder road and raised the strength at the same time — which is why the 12 year old tastes clearer than most in its class.

    Expert description

    Deanston 12 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The distillery sits in a converted cotton mill from 1785 by the village of Doune, where the River Teith supplies both water for production and power for the whole site. The malt is Scottish, the fermentation long, and everything runs through classic pot stills. The 12 year old is the core expression and the clearest picture of what Deanston is after: a soft, honeyed style with enough body to be felt.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Honey from wildflowers, fresh apple and malt, with vanilla and a light cereal freshness.

    Item no.: 2225461-8055

    Virgin Oak was Deanston's first attempt at doing something unexpected with the house honey. This bottle predates the redesign — same idea, older packaging.

    Expert description

    Deanston Virgin Oak Old Version is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in traditional oak casks with a final maturation in new American oak casks and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The release comes from an earlier version of Virgin Oak, which Deanston later gave a new design. The idea is unchanged: fresh, untreated casks lift the pale, fruity and naturally honeyed house style with spice and vanilla sweetness. Deanston has distilled in a converted cotton mill by the River Teith since 1966 and uses no peat at all.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean, fresh and inviting. Citrus, malt, vanilla and lightly spiced oak, with touches of honey, fresh apples and a mild nutty note.

    Palate

    Soft but lively. Vanilla, caramel, citrus and pale fruit, where the virgin oak casks contribute warm spice, a hint of pepper and a creamy sweetness.

    The Cromdale hills rise behind Balmenach like an old spine of heather and granite. Whisky has been made here since 1824, and the distillery has never been in any hurry to shout about it. Deerstalker takes casks from this quiet place and lets them speak at their own pace.

    The expert description

    Deerstalker 12 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Balmenach, matured in oak casks and bottled at 43% without chill filtration.

    Balmenach sits beside the village of Cromdale, right on the line where the Highlands slip into Speyside. James MacGregor founded the distillery in 1824, and it is owned today by Inver House. Almost all of the spirit disappears into blends, which is why so few bottles carry the Balmenach name on the front.

    The Deerstalker range comes from Aberko in Glasgow, a house that has held on to one principle throughout: the whisky is bottled without chill filtration. It is a small decision with a large consequence, because the oils that would otherwise be filtered out stay in the bottle and give the whisky a fuller texture.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and gently tart. Green apple and peach arrive first, then a dusting of vanilla underneath and a dry, almost powdery grain note reminiscent of the air inside an old warehouse.

    Palate

    It opens tight and sour, then unfolds into pale fruit, pear and lemon peel, while a soft sweetness of vanilla and demerara sugar settles beneath.

    Finish

    Fuller and longer than 43% would suggest. Spice, toasted bread and a final dry note of oak.

    Did you know?

    Balmenach belongs to the small handful of Scottish distilleries still condensing their spirit in worm tubs, long coiled pipes submerged in cold water outside the stillhouse. The method is slow and takes up space, but it produces a heavier, meatier spirit than any modern condenser can deliver.
