1770 Glasgow Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0021

Smoke from the Lowlands is a rarity. For decades the region stood for the light and floral while peat was left to the islands. Glasgow Distillery decided to do it anyway, and laid the smoke down in Pedro Ximénez casks where it found sweetness to lean against.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow Peated is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Virgin Oak and PX Sherry casks and bottled at 46%. The distillery calls it Rich & Smoky, and it is their peated core expression, made from peated malt during part of the production year.
The cask choice is what makes it. Virgin Oak gives spice, cinnamon and a drier wood edge, while the PX Sherry casks lay in a thick, almost syrupy sweetness: raisins, dates and dark sugar. The smoke sits between the two and comes out rounder for the company than it would have on neutral wood.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and bottling at 46% was chosen to keep the body intact. The water comes from Loch Katrine and fermentation runs beyond 72 hours.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet smoke first, closer to singed raisins than a bonfire. Behind it come dates, dark sugar and a note of burnt orange. There is a layer of cinnamon and dried ginger from the new oak as well.
Palate
Full and sweet. Raisins and molasses open, then the smoke steps in as a dry earthy floor. The spices arrive last: cinnamon, clove, a touch of chilli. The texture is thick and slightly clinging, which is the PX cask signature.
Finish
Long. Smoke and dark sweetness go hand in hand, and a drier, almost coffee-like bitterness lingers at the end.

Did You Know?
Glasgow Distillery launched Makar Gin long before the first whisky was ready. It is a common strategy at new distilleries: the gin can be sold immediately and pays the bills while the whisky sits maturing for years. Without the gin, 1770 would probably have had a harder time reaching 2018.

1770 Glasgow The Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0023

For more than a century nobody distilled malt whisky inside Glasgow. The city had shipyards, cranes and a proud industrial past, but no copper stills. This bottle is the one that broke the silence, and it comes from an industrial estate rather than a glen.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow The Original is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill ex-bourbon and Virgin Oak casks and bottled at 46%. It is the distillery flagship and carries the subtitle Fresh & Fruity, the bottle everything else in the range is measured against.
The malt is unpeated and the spirit is distilled twice in traditional copper pot stills after a fermentation of more than 72 hours. That long fermentation is no accident: it develops fruity esters, and those are what you meet as pear and apple in the glass. First fill bourbon casks add vanilla and coconut, while a smaller proportion of Virgin Oak lays in spice and structure.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. The water comes from Loch Katrine, and there is no age statement, as the distillery bottles when the casks say so.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh pear, green apple and a touch of melon. Vanilla follows along with toasted coconut and a soft cereal sweetness, close to white bread straight from the oven. Clean and inviting, with no hard edges.
Palate
Soft and lightly creamy, with baked apple and custard first. Mid-palate the new oak tightens things with cinnamon, nutmeg and a drier wood note. The 46% gives enough body that the whisky handles a few drops of water without turning watery.
Finish
Medium length. Vanilla and malt linger, and a dry, lightly spiced oak note arrives at the end.

Did You Know?
The distillery sits in Hillington, an industrial area in the west of Glasgow, between warehouses and businesses. There are no whitewashed walls, no pagoda roof and no burn running past. That was a deliberate decision: the whisky was to be made in the city, not in a postcard version of Scotland.

1770 Glasgow Triple Distilled Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0022

A third of the production year goes to this style. It is not a side project or a trial, it is a deliberate decision to use a technique almost every other Scottish malt distillery has put down.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow Triple Distilled is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill and refill ex-bourbon casks plus Virgin Oak and bottled at 46%. The distillery calls it Smooth & Vibrant and runs triple distillation for a third of the year.
The malt is Concerto, a barley variety widely used in Scottish distilling, and the water comes from Loch Katrine. The third distillation removes the heavier oily compounds so that only the lightest and purest part of the spirit is collected. Most of the maturation happens in bourbon casks, while a smaller share, around five to eight per cent, comes from new American white oak barrels supplied by Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky.
The result is a whisky with less fat and more clarity. Neither chill filtration nor colouring is involved, and there is no age statement.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Shortbread and light honey first, then double cream and a hint of lemon peel. There is a fine bakery quality to it, close to freshly baked biscuits, and a warm drier wood note sits at the back.
Palate
Round and lightly creamy, with honey, vanilla and juicy apple. The body is lighter than in a double distilled malt but it is not thin, and a warm spicy wood edge arrives mid-palate. Clean and well balanced the whole way.
Finish
Medium and soft. Honey and malt linger, and a warm oak spice note closes things quietly.

The new oak barrels for this whisky come from Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky, a cooperage originally founded in Glasgow in 1963 that later moved to the United States. The casks therefore travel from Kentucky back to the city where the business began. It is a coincidence, but it makes a good story.

Aberdeenshire Glen Garioch 12 year old Little Brown Dog Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Item no.: 222-164646

Two lads on a farm in Aberdeenshire had grown tired of good single malt always vanishing from the shelf before they got there. The idea was simple: make a whisky people can actually find on the shelf. This bottle is the first proof of how it should taste, and it went out of the door before the labels were ready.
Please note: The label on this preview release is handwritten and hand signed, because the printed labels did not arrive in time. Future batches will carry the final design.
The Expert's Description
Aberdeenshire Glen Garioch 12 Years Old Little Brown Dog is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 60% 1st fill bourbon casks and 40% Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 46%. It was distilled at Glen Garioch in 2013, bottled in 2025 by Little Brown Dog and limited to 500 hand-numbered bottles.
Andrew Smith and Chris Reid of Little Brown Dog have spent years working towards a signature bottling that does not simply appear in small rare batches but stays on the shelf. The vatting is their own work: the bulk from first fill bourbon for vanilla and cereal sweetness, the rest from sherry casks, both refill and first fill, for fruit and depth. The result lands somewhere different from an official Glen Garioch, which tends to be drier and maltier.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. This release is a preview bottling that shows the direction of Little Brown Dog’s forthcoming regular single malt under the Aberdeenshire name.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe pear and honey first, with a clear malty floor underneath. The sherry portion reports in as raisins, orange peel and a streak of dark sugar. There is a light waxy note too, which Glen Garioch often gives.
Palate
Soft and full. Vanilla and baked apple open, then the sherry brings dried fruit and a mild spiced warmth of cinnamon and a little ginger. At 46% it is round enough for a weeknight, yet there is still body enough to reward attention.
Finish
Medium length. Malt, honey and a drier oak note, with a final suggestion of raisin. Clean and free of bitterness.

Did You Know?
Little Brown Dog is named after Andrew's dog, whose nickname was exactly that, the little brown dog. The company started in 2018 on a farm at Fetternear in Aberdeenshire and has since grown from pure bottling into distilling as well, running both a small copper pot still and a larger column for neutral spirit.

Ailsa Bay 1.2 Sweet Smoke 22 ppm Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48,9%

Item no.: 22227865405-8311

Most distilleries talk about smoke and leave sweetness as a feeling. Ailsa Bay measures both. Twenty-two ppm of phenol, nineteen ppm of sweetness, and they print the figures on the bottle as though it were a lab report. Nerdy? Yes. It also makes sense in the glass.
The Expert's Description
Ailsa Bay 1.2 Sweet Smoke is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured first in small Hudson Baby bourbon casks and then in American white oak, bottled at 48.9%. It is the distillery’s second release and sits at 22 ppm of phenol and 19 SPPM of sweetness, where the first release measured 21 ppm and 11 SPPM.
Micro-maturation is the heart of it. The spirit goes first into casks of between 25 and 100 litres, Hudson Baby bourbon casks from the United States, where the small volume gives an extreme amount of wood contact per litre. It is then moved into standard American oak casks for the longer maturation. No other Scottish malt distillery uses the method.
One detail is worth holding on to: the 22 ppm is measured in the distillate rather than in the malt, which is the usual practice. The figure therefore cannot be compared directly with the ppm numbers on an Islay bottle. Ailsa Bay was built in 2007 by William Grant & Sons on the site of the Girvan distillery in South Ayrshire.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet smoke first, closer to burnt sugar than a bonfire. Behind it come vanilla, fudge and a note of toasted malt. There is salt and a little tar in the background too, a reminder of the coast where the whisky is made.
Palate
The sweetness arrives before the smoke. Caramel, honey and custard open, and only then does the peat report in as a dry, almost mineral floor. The 48.9% gives good body, and the texture is thicker than you would expect from a whisky this young. That is the small casks showing themselves.
Finish
Medium length. Smoke and sweetness let go at roughly the same time, with a dry ash note and a last touch of salt.

SPPM stands for sweetness parts per million, and Ailsa Bay invented the term. No other whisky producer measures sweetness that way. Whether it is science or marketing is open to argument, but it is at least the first time anyone has tried to put a number on that half of the balance.

Ardmore 2009/2023 Signatory Vintage 13 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-874

Second fill after Islay. Two words that say a great deal: the cask has held bourbon, then a heavily peated Islay, and now Ardmore for thirteen years. There is not much force left in the wood, and that is exactly the point.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore 2009/2023 Signatory Vintage 13 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in second fill bourbon casks after Islay whisky and bottled at 46%. It was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2023 in Signatory’s Un-Chillfiltered Collection.
The difference from a first fill is marked. A second fill cask gives up less vanilla, less colour and less tannin, so Ardmore’s own peated character gets far more room. What Islay phenols remain in the staves are correspondingly muted, sitting as a suggestion rather than a layer.
Thirteen years is a long time for a cask that gives little. The result is a whisky where the spirit stands at the front and the wood keeps to the background. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dry smoke and toasted malt first, with honey and a light citrus peel behind. The vanilla is subdued, and a clean cereal note runs through it all. This is the spirit talking, not the cask.
Palate
Malty and dry. The smoke arrives early and stays, with honey and baked apple underneath. There is a light saline undercurrent from the cask’s Islay past and a dry, peppery turn mid-palate. At 46% the body is good without being heavy.
Finish
Medium and dry. Ash, malt and a lightly bitter oak note that lets go cleanly.

Ardmore was the last Scottish malt distillery to use coal-fired stills. Only in 2001 did it switch to steam heating. Direct fire gives a slightly more scorched, meaty spirit, so whisky distilled at Ardmore before the turn of the millennium has a different character from what is made today.

Ardmore 2010/2023 Signatory Vintage 13 years old 100 Proof Edition #4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57.1%

Item no.: 059763-615-631

100 proof is not a round number, it is a historical measure. In the British system it corresponds to 57.1% alcohol, and that is exactly where every single bottle in this series sits, whatever the distillery and whatever the age.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore 2010/2023 Signatory Vintage 13 Years Old 100 Proof Edition #4 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry Butts and bottled at 57.1%. Cask 137 was distilled in 2010 and bottled on 5 December 2023.
The 100 Proof series gathers single malts from different Scottish distilleries, all bottled at precisely the same strength. That makes the series an unusually clean comparison: with the alcohol content identical, the differences between distillery and cask stand out without the strength clouding the picture.
Here Ardmore’s peated Highland spirit meets first fill Oloroso wood. It is a forceful combination, since fresh sherry casks give dark fruit, tannin and colour in quantity, and the smoke has to work to get through. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark fruit first: raisins, prunes and preserved cherries. Beneath sit dry smoke and roasted nuts, along with a resinous sherry note that only first fill casks provide.
Palate
Full and dark. Raisins and bitter chocolate open, then the smoke arrives as a dry undercurrent alongside spiced oak and black pepper. At 57.1% the concentration is considerable, and sherry and smoke pull in opposite directions all the way.
Finish
Long and spiced. Dark fruit, ash and oak tannin, with a warmth that lingers well afterwards.

The proof system comes from an old British method of checking whether spirit had been watered down: you poured it over gunpowder and set it alight. If the powder burned, the spirit was strong enough and had passed the proof. One hundred degrees proof was later fixed at 57.1% alcohol, and that is exactly the strength this series is bottled at.

Ardmore 2016 Heavily Peated Coopers Choice Bourbon Cask Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865392-988

Heavily Peated it says on the label, and that is worth reading twice. Ardmore normally sits moderate on the peat, but when the distillery turns it up and a single cask catches it, you get something quite different from the usual Highland smoke.
Please note: The label on this bottle is wrinkled.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore 2016 Heavily Peated Coopers Choice is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a used bourbon cask and bottled at 46%. Cask 8048 was distilled in 2016 and gave 270 bottles.
The Coopers Choice is the single cask range from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., a house founded in 1992 by Brian Crook. He holds an honours degree in food science and had twenty years in the malt whisky trade behind him, latterly as export director for one of Scotland’s principal distillers, before setting out on his own.
A used bourbon cask gives less vanilla and less colour than a first fill, and that is precisely why the smoke can stand out so clearly here. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dry peat smoke first, more soot and embers than open fire. Behind it come vanilla, toasted malt and a light citrus peel. There is a clear earthy note that is Ardmore’s fingerprint.
Palate
The smoke fills the mouth immediately and stays. Beneath it sit malt sweetness, baked apple and a touch of honey, while a dry peppery note tightens things mid-palate. At 46% the body is good, and the cask’s restraint lets the smoke take the lead.
Finish
Long and dry. Ash, malt and a lightly bitter oak note that lets go slowly.

Ardmore Coopers Choice Peat & Fruit Single Highland Malt Whisky 56,5%

Item no.: 22227865392-8762

Pineau des Charentes is neither wine nor cognac but something in between: grape must blended with young cognac and rested in cask. Putting peated Highland malt into a cask like that is an idea few would have had, and the name on the bottle says exactly what came out of it.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore Coopers Choice Peat & Fruit is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in a Pineau des Charentes cask and bottled at 56.5% cask strength. Cask 9522 gave 340 bottles.
Pineau des Charentes is made in the cognac region by blending fresh grape must with young cognac, which stops the fermentation and keeps the sweetness. The cask therefore leaves both fruit sweetness and a light brandy character, a combination that meets Ardmore’s peat smoke in a very different way from sherry or bourbon.
The result is right there in the name: smoke and fruit side by side rather than one on top of the other. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and it is bottled at cask strength.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke and sweet grape fruit at the same time. There is apricot, grape and a light honey note, and beneath it the dry earthy smoke Ardmore always carries. At 56.5% the alcohol is obvious, so let the glass sit a moment.
Palate
Sweet opening with grape fruit, apricot and caramel, then the smoke arrives from the side and tightens things along with a dry peppery note. The two elements work against each other in a way that keeps the mouth awake. The texture is full and lightly syrupy.
Finish
Long. Fruit sweetness and smoke let go at roughly the same time, with a dry oak note and a final trace of grape must.

Did You Know?
Pineau des Charentes is said to have come about by accident in the sixteenth century, when a winemaker mistakenly poured grape must into a cask that still held cognac. Decades later he discovered the contents had turned into something else entirely, and far better than he had expected. It is not often a cask type has such a specific origin story.

Ardnamurchan Cask Strength AD 02.22 Single Highland Malt Whisky 58,7%

Item no.: 222278558887-9987

Forty casks peated, ten casks unpeated. That is not an approximation but an arithmetic, and it is exactly the sort of figure Ardnamurchan is willing to state where most distilleries settle for saying blended.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan Cask Strength AD 02.22 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 58.7% full cask strength by Adelphi. It was composed from forty peated bourbon barrels and ten unpeated casks, and 12,886 bottles were made.
Ardnamurchan makes both peated and unpeated malt, and both styles go into this series. Cask strength means the whisky has not been diluted with water before bottling, giving more concentration and a clearer cask character than the house standard at 46.8%.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and every bottle carries a QR code giving access to blockchain-registered production data. The distillery sits at Glenbeg on the westernmost mainland peninsula in Scotland.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke and maritime salinity first, then vanilla and coconut from the bourbon wood. A clear cereal sweetness runs beneath it all, and at this strength the alcohol is up front, so let the glass rest a couple of minutes.
Palate
Powerful and oily. Vanilla, honey and baked fruit open, then the smoke arrives with weight along with black pepper and a dry oak note. The cask strength gives concentration, yet the whisky is not harsh.
Finish
Long and dry. Smoke, salt and spice, with a final malt sweetness lingering beneath it all.

Ardnamurchan makes both peated and unpeated malt, and both styles go into this series. Cask strength means the whisky has not been diluted with water before bottling, giving more concentration and a clearer cask character than the house standard at 46.8%.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and every bottle carries a QR code giving access to blockchain-registered production data. The distillery sits at Glenbeg on the westernmost mainland peninsula in Scotland.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke and maritime salinity first, then vanilla and coconut from the bourbon wood. A clear cereal sweetness runs beneath it all, and at this strength the alcohol is up front, so let the glass rest a couple of minutes.
Palate
Powerful and oily. Vanilla, honey and baked fruit open, then the smoke arrives with weight along with black pepper and a dry oak note. The cask strength gives concentration, yet the whisky is not harsh.
Finish
Long and dry. Smoke, salt and spice, with a final malt sweetness lingering beneath it all.

Ardnamurchan Cask Strength Release AD 2023 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58.1%

Item no.: 2222785588-

The month code has gone from the name. From 2023 the series is called simply by the year, and it is the same kind of decision as when the batch number disappeared from AD/: the distillery has stopped numbering its way out of things.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan Cask Strength AD 2023 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 58.1% full cask strength by Adelphi. It was composed from forty peated bourbon barrels and ten unpeated casks, bottled on 2 October 2023 in an outturn of 13,683.
Ardnamurchan makes both peated and unpeated malt, and both styles go into this series. Cask strength means the whisky has not been diluted with water before bottling, giving more concentration and a clearer cask character than the house standard at 46.8%.

Ardnamurchan Madeira Cask Release AD Single Highland Malt Whisky 52%

Item no.: 2222785333-7774100

Madeira is the only wine in the world that improves by being heated. The wine matures at around fifty degrees for months on end, and the casks carry that treatment with them: a cooked, nutty sweetness you will not find in other wine casks.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan Madeira Cask Release AD is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in madeira casks and bottled at 52%. It combines the distillery’s craft approach and sustainable production with the distinctive influence of the madeira wood.
Madeira differs from other fortified wines in undergoing a heat treatment during maturation, where the wine is held warm for a long period. That gives a caramelised, nutty character not found in sherry or port, and the casks carry it on to the whisky.
At 52% there is body enough to carry both the madeira sweetness and Ardnamurchan’s own maritime character. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe stone fruit, candied orange peel and honey open the nose, joined by a light touch of sea breeze and spice. A nutty, almost caramelised note sits beneath it all, the fingerprint of the madeira cask.
Palate
Roasted nuts, dark caramel and dried fruit melting together with a light mineral character and a hint of smoke in the background. At 52% the texture is full, and the sweetness is dry rather than syrupy.
Finish
Long, warm and silky with an elegant sweetness from the madeira casks and a final dry nutty note.

Did You Know?
Madeira is matured by heat because the wine was historically carried as ballast in ships crossing the tropics. It was discovered that the wine improved on the journey, from the heat and the movement. Today the effect is reproduced artificially, but the cooked, nutty character still comes from something that began as an accident at sea.

Ardnamurchan Madeira Cask Release AD Single Highland Malt Whisky 52%

Item no.: 222338-4451

Mezcal and peated whisky have more in common than you might think. Both get their smoke from something that has lain in the ground and burned: agave hearts in a stone-lined pit in Oaxaca, peat under a malting floor in Scotland. Here they meet in the same cask.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan Mezcal Cask Release AD is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky first matured in traditional bourbon and sherry casks and then finished in used mezcal casks from Mexico, bottled at 55%.
Mezcal is known for its smoky, earthy character, which comes from agave hearts roasted in earth pits over embers. The casks add a depth and complexity distinct from classic Scottish malt whiskies, a mineral structure not found in wine casks.
The release is part of the distillery’s continuing work with unconventional cask types. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet malt and a lightly medicinal peat smoke open, quickly followed by characteristic mezcal notes: green agave, citrus, white pepper and toasted oak. It is all rounded off by a subtle spiced undertone.
Palate
Green apples and fresh lime meet a finely balanced peat smoke and a lightly saline character. Warm notes of vanilla, honey and a touch of cinnamon and clove sit in the middle. The texture is full, and the minerality from the mezcal casks gives structure without drowning the fruity base.
Finish
Long and mineral. Smoke, citrus and a dry, almost stony close where the agave lingers longest.

Did You Know?
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts in a pit in the ground, covered with stones and glowing wood, for several days. That is where the smoke comes from, not from the cask or the distillation. The method resembles Scottish peat firing more than anything else in the spirits world, which is probably why the two work together.

Ardnamurchan Rum Cask Release AD Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55%

Item no.: 059763-615-452

The cask has crossed the Atlantic twice. First as a bourbon barrel from Kentucky down to the Caribbean, where it held rum for a few years, and then on to a west-facing peninsula in Scotland. Three continents in one piece of wood.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan Rum Cask Release AD is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky first matured in bourbon casks and then finished in Caribbean rum casks, bottled at 55% in 2023.
Rum casks are not an obvious partner for peated whisky, but they work better than you might expect. Rum lays in a dry, almost green sugar cane sweetness quite different from sherry’s raisins or port’s red fruit. Together with Ardnamurchan’s saline maritime character the result reads tropical rather than sweet.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. Ardnamurchan sits at Glenbeg on the westernmost mainland peninsula in Scotland and has been distilling since July 2014.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Salted cashews and vanilla extract first, with a coastal breeze behind. Beneath sit dry sugar cane sweetness and a light peat smoke, along with a note of toasted coconut from the bourbon maturation.
Palate
Dry sweetness to begin, sugar cane rather than syrup. Vanilla and baked banana follow, then the smoke arrives along with a saline minerality. At 55% the texture is oily and full, and the rum cask gives direction rather than weight.
Finish
Long and dry. Salt, smoke and a final sugar cane sweetness that lets go slowly.

Did You Know?
The great majority of rum casks in the whisky world were originally bourbon barrels. Kentucky may only use its casks once, so they are sold on, first to the Caribbean for rum, then to Scotland for whisky. A single oak cask can therefore hold three different spirits across three continents before ending up as garden furniture.

Ardnamurchan Sauternes Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 05333-8875

Sauternes casks are expensive and rare because the wine itself is. The châteaux in Bordeaux need their barriques and do not readily sell them on. When one nonetheless ends up on a west Scottish peninsula, it is worth noticing.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan Sauternes Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky first matured in bourbon casks and then finished in selected Sauternes wine casks, bottled at 50% in 2024.
Sauternes is the sweetest of the white wines of Bordeaux, made from grapes affected by noble rot. The casks add a subtle sweetness and a complexity that settles over the classic Highland malt profile without drowning it: honey, dried fruit and a lightly spiced close.
The natural colour and unfiltered character preserve the whisky’s authentic flavour, and at 50% there is body enough to carry both the wine cask sweetness and Ardnamurchan’s own maritime edge.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Nectarines and sweet pastry first, with honey and candied citrus peel behind. A rich waxiness sits beneath it all, and a light peat smoke and saline maritime note push through.
Palate
Rich notes of honey and dried fruit open, then a lightly spiced warmth and a dry oak note arrive. The sweetness is balanced rather than dominant, and at 50% the texture is full and nuanced the whole way.
Finish
Medium to long. Honey, spice and a dry close where the maritime salinity lingers beneath the sweetness.

Did You Know?
In Sauternes the harvest is among the most labour-intensive in the wine world. The grapes are picked berry by berry over several passes as the noble rot spreads unevenly through the vineyard. Some estates reckon on a single glass of wine per vine. That is why the casks rarely leave Bordeaux.

Arran Machrie Moor 10 years old Single Island Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280030

Arran's peated side also comes with a fixed age statement — ten years in cask gives Machrie Moor an extra layer of flavour.
The same peaty character as the distillery's classic Machrie Moor, but now with time to round off the edges.
Expert Description
Arran Machrie Moor 10 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Whisky made from lightly peated malt and bottled at 46%.
The whisky is bottled non-chill filtered and with natural colour after ten years of maturation, giving the peat smoke time to blend more smoothly with Arran's natural fruit sweetness than in the younger, no-age-statement Machrie Moor.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Softer smoke than the younger edition, with a clear underlying fruitiness.
Palate
Round and balanced, where the smoke and Arran's citrus character meet in good harmony.

Arran Machrie Moor Peated Lochranza Malt Single Island Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 56.2%

Item no.: 22227865466-100206

On Arran's west coast lies a windswept peat moor called Machrie Moor. Legend says the warrior Fingal tied his dog to a stone here — and the distillery named its peated whisky after the place.
A different side of Arran, where the familiar citrus character meets peat smoke.
Expert Description
Arran Machrie Moor is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky made from lightly peated malt and bottled at 56.2%.
Since 2004, Arran has distilled a small amount of malt peated to around 20 ppm every year — a medium smoke level that offers more than just bonfire and tar. Machrie Moor has become a permanent part of Arran's range, bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour, put together by the distillery's manager James MacTaggart.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke and ash meet an underlying sweetness and a lightly salted coastal aroma.

Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy Single Island Malt Whisky 56,2%

Item no.: 22227865466-18270

Smaller casks mean more contact between whisky and wood — and The Bothy is Arran's proof of how fast that contact can leave its mark.
A full-bodied, oily whisky with an extra push from Quarter Cask maturation.
Expert Description
Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy is a Single Islands Malt Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon casks and finished in Quarter Casks, bottled at 56.2%.
The whisky spends around eight years in 1st fill bourbon casks before moving to 100-litre Quarter Casks for about 18 months. The smaller casks give markedly more contact between whisky and wood than standard casks, speeding up maturation and delivering a more intense character in less time.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla sweetness and freshly ground pepper in a full-bodied, oily aroma.
Palate
Spiced and intense with the same rich, oily character the nose promises.
Finish
Powerful and warming, with the cask strength's clear kick.

Expert Description
Arran The Bodega Sherry Cask is a Single Islands Malt Whisky matured in a 250-litre sherry hogshead for a minimum of 7 years, bottled at 55.8%.
The cask size gives more contact between whisky and wood than a standard cask, speeding up maturation and explaining why a relatively young whisky like this one still achieves a clear sherry character. The whisky is bottled non-chill filtered and with natural colour.

Auchroisk 10 years old Flora & Fauna Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 43%

Item no.: 22227865365-225

For decades this whisky went by a completely different name. Auchroisk was considered impossible to pronounce outside Scotland, so Diageo called it The Singleton instead. Only in 2001 was the distillery allowed to use its own name again, and it happened on this very bottle.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 10 Years Old Flora & Fauna is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%. It belongs to the Flora & Fauna range, which United Distillers, today Diageo, launched in 1992 with 26 different single malts to show the differences between Scotland’s whisky regions.
Auchroisk was built in 1974 by Justerini & Brooks with one purpose: to supply malt for the J&B blend. The first single malt appeared in 1978, and from 1986 it was sold as The Singleton, because the name Auchroisk was judged too difficult for consumers outside Scotland. The name returned in 2001 with this very Flora & Fauna release.
Most bottles in the series are released at 43%, a few at cask strength, and some editions came in wooden boxes. For a number of Diageo distilleries that otherwise supply blends only, the series is the sole route to an official bottling.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Citrus-driven and fresh, with good weight. There is orange peel and a dry spiced note, and liquorice, tobacco and white pepper sit behind.
Palate
Fairly dry and spiced. Citrus opens, then salted caramel, nuts and pepper arrive. A little smoke mingles in the background. At 43% there is good body without weight.
Finish
Medium and dry. Orange peel, pepper and a lightly nutty close that lets go cleanly.

The name Auchroisk is pronounced roughly orth-rusk. It was precisely that pronunciation which led the owners to rename the whisky The Singleton in 1986, on the view that consumers outside Scotland would not dare ask for it in a bar. Fifteen years later they went back to the original name, and it has been on the label ever since.

Auchroisk 10 Years Old Gordon & MacPhail Discovery Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1975

The Discovery range is built like a textbook. Three profiles, bourbon, sherry and smoke, and the rest of the label keeps quiet. You have to work out for yourself what a bourbon cask does to a Speyside, and that is the whole point.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 10 Years Old Gordon & MacPhail Discovery is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill and refill bourbon casks and bottled at 43%. It belongs to the bourbon category in the Discovery range, which highlights three fundamental whisky profiles.
Gordon & MacPhail is among Scotland’s oldest and most respected independent bottlers, and the Discovery range is the house’s entry point for anyone wanting to understand what the cask does. By using bourbon wood only, Auchroisk’s bright citrus-driven spirit is allowed to stand out clearly without sherry or smoke clouding the picture.
Auchroisk was built in 1974 by Justerini & Brooks to supply malt for the J&B blend. The result here is a fresh, fruity whisky that works equally well for beginners and for experienced drinkers wanting to meet Speyside in its purest bourbon matured form.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla first, followed by apple, lemon blossom and ripe bananas. A light pastry note runs beneath it all, along with a clean, fresh cereal character the bourbon casks have brought out rather than covered.
Palate
Lively notes of orange peel and black pepper open, then tropical fruit and a soft vanilla sweetness arrive. At 43% the body is good, and the whisky stays fresh all the way without turning thin.
Finish
Medium and rounded with oak and spice, where the citrus note lingers longest.

Auchroisk 2007/2021 Mossburn 14 years old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280233

Bordeaux casks are not common in whisky. They give something entirely different from sherry, more berry, more acidity and a dry tannic edge that a Speyside rarely comes near.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 2007/2021 Mossburn 14 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for fourteen years in a Bordeaux cask and bottled at 46%. It is number 25 in Mossburn’s Vintage Casks range and is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Red wine casks from Bordeaux have been used by several bottlers in recent years, because they add red berries and a dry tannic structure instead of sherry’s dried fruit. The effect requires a spirit with the right lightness, as the tannins can quickly take over.
Auchroisk’s bright, citrus-driven style suits that exercise well. The distillery was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend, and official bottlings are rare, so independent casks like this one are the usual way in.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Red berries first, with cherry and raspberry clearly to the fore. Vanilla and apple from the spirit sit beneath, and there is a dry, lightly tart note from the wine cask.
Palate
Fruity and dry at once. Red berries and a little marzipan open, then citrus, white pepper and a dry tannic edge arrive. At 46% the body is good, and the whisky holds its freshness all the way.
Finish
Medium and dry. Berries, oak and a lightly bitter close from the tannins.

Two hogsheads filled on the same day in 2008, bottled on the same day in 2021. Signatory prints both cask numbers on the label, and that is the whole difference between a named parcel and an anonymous batch.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 2008/2021 Signatory 12 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for twelve years in two hogsheads and bottled at 43%. It belongs to Signatory’s Un-Chillfiltered Collection and is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Two hogsheads give a slightly larger parcel than a single cask, but it is still a manageable quantity, and cask numbers 813968 and 813969 are printed on the label. Signatory has used that approach since 1988.
Auchroisk sits in Speyside and was built in 1974 by Justerini & Brooks to supply malt for the J&B blend. The style is bright, citrus-driven and lightly spiced, a Speyside that sits closer to fruit than to sherry.

Bright and fresh. Vanilla, apple and a clear citrus note first, then honey and a lightly cereal pastry tone from the young spirit.
Palate
Soft and fruity. Vanilla and pear open, then citrus, a lightly peppered note and a dry oak tone arrive. At 43% there is good body, and the absence of chill filtration shows in the mouthfeel.

Auchroisk 2009/2022 Signatory Vintage 12 years old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky 43%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280105

509 bottles from two hogsheads. The figure is printed on the label, and there is a reason for that. When you can count the bottles, you can also see that no more are coming.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 2009/2022 Signatory 12 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for twelve years in two hogsheads and bottled at 43%. The release gave 509 bottles and is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Cask numbers 804051 and 804052 are printed on the label along with the distillation and bottling dates. That is Signatory’s standard and one of the reasons the house has become a reference point for independent bottlings.
Auchroisk sits in Speyside and was built in 1974 by Justerini & Brooks to supply malt for the J&B blend. The style is bright, citrus-driven and lightly spiced, and twelve years in refill hogsheads lets that character stand clearly.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and clean. Citrus and green apple first, then vanilla, honey and a lightly cereal note from the spirit.
Palate
Soft and fruity. Apple and pear open, then citrus, vanilla and a lightly peppered oak note arrive. At 43% the body is good, and the absence of chill filtration gives a fuller mouthfeel than the figure suggests.
Finish
Medium and clean. Citrus, vanilla and a dry, lightly spiced close.

Signatory today bottles at Edradour in Pitlochry, which the Symington brothers bought in 2002. Edradour was for many years Scotland’s smallest distillery with only three employees, and even after expansion the site works as distillery, warehouse and bottling plant for all of Signatory’s production.

Aultmore 10 Years Old Gordon & Macphail Discovery Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43%

Item no.: 22227865413-440

Aultmore drew its water from the Foggie Moss, a misty marsh where smugglers of old could work unseen. The distillery chose the site for practical reasons, but the name stuck.
The Expert's Description
Aultmore 10 Years Old Gordon & MacPhail Discovery is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill and refill bourbon casks and bottled at 43%. It belongs to the bourbon profile in the Discovery range.
Aultmore was built in 1896 by Alexander Edward, and production started on 24 May 1897. The distillery sits by the Burn of Auchinderran north of Keith, a stream known locally as the Foggie Moss.
John Dewar & Sons bought Aultmore in 1923 for £20,000, and since then by far the greater part of production has gone into Dewar’s White Label. Official single malts are therefore rare, and independent casks like this one are the usual way in.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and grassy. Apple and pear first, then vanilla, a light honeyed sweetness and a dry, mineral note typical of the distillery.
Palate
Clean and light. Apple and citrus open, then vanilla, a dry cereal note and a touch of pepper arrive. At 43% the body is fine, and the whisky stays fresh all the way.
Finish
Medium and clean. Apple, vanilla and a dry, lightly grassy close.

Did You Know?
Aultmore was for decades largely invisible to consumers, because almost the entire production went to blending. Behind the bar in pubs around Keith, however, the whisky became known as a nip of the Buttery, and that nickname lingered long after the bottles had vanished from the shelves.
