1770 Glasgow 2016/2023 Mac Y Selection 7 years old Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55.8%

Item no.: 059763-615-281

One cask, 114 bottles, and a Danish importer who sat and waited for seven years. The spirit ran off the stills on a July day in 2016 in an industrial park in the west of Glasgow, and exactly seven years and ten days later the cask was emptied. Timing like that is rarely an accident.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow 2016/2023 Mac Y Selection 7 Years Old is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill ex-bourbon cask and finished in Virgin Oak, bottled at 55.8%. Cask 16/844 was distilled on 17 July 2016 and bottled on 27 July 2023, yielding 114 bottles selected by the Danish importer Mac Y.
Just over three years went by in the first fill bourbon cask, where the spirit picked up vanilla, coconut and a light cereal sweetness. Then came almost four years in new charred American oak. Virgin Oak has never held spirit before, and it works fast and hard: cinnamon, nutmeg, burnt sugar and a drier tannic edge shift the whole profile. Seven years does not sound like much, but in virgin oak seven years can do more than twice that in a refill cask.
Glasgow Distillery uses malted barley and water from Loch Katrine, ferments for more than 72 hours and distils slowly in traditional copper pot stills. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Freshly planed oak and warm cinnamon bun first. Behind that come vanilla, toasted coconut and a hint of yellow fruit, mostly pear with a little pineapple. There is also a drier pencil shaving note that virgin oak casks tend to give.
Palate
Sweet and spicy at once. Burnt sugar, nutmeg and baked apple meet a firm oak tannin that tightens things up mid-palate. At 55.8% it runs warm but the body holds. A few drops of water draw out more honey and calm the wood a little.
Finish
Long and woody, with pepper, toasted oak and a faintly bitter cocoa note. The sweetness lets go slowly.

The water for 1770 comes from Loch Katrine in the Trossachs, the same loch that has supplied Glasgow with drinking water since 1859. The city built an aqueduct system running more than 50 kilometres to fight cholera, and today that same water runs through a malt distillery on the western edge of town.

1770 Glasgow 2018/2022 Mac Y Selection Tokaji Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 52%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0086

Hungarian dessert wine and Scottish malt whisky are not an obvious match. Yet a Tokaji barrique sat waiting in a Glasgow warehouse, and for the final months before bottling the whisky was allowed to stretch out in it. You can smell that somebody took a chance.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow 2018/2022 Mac Y Selection Tokaji Finish is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill ex-bourbon casks and finished in a Tokaji barrique, bottled at 52%. Cask 18/968 was distilled on 3 February 2018 and bottled on 25 October 2022, giving 303 bottles for the Danish importer Mac Y.
Tokaji is a Hungarian sweet wine made from botrytised grapes, and its casks are used only very rarely for Scotch. Where a sherry cask brings dark fruit and nuts, Tokaji pulls towards apricot, honey and a tart marmalade note that leaves the whisky brighter and fresher than a typical finish. The bourbon wood underneath keeps the vanilla and cereal sweetness in place.
The whisky was distilled at Glasgow Distillery, where the mash ferments for over 72 hours before slow distillation in copper pot stills. Neither chill filtration nor colouring came anywhere near the bottle.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried apricot and orange marmalade first, with honey and a little yellow plum behind. Then the bourbon cask brings vanilla and a light pastry note, close to a Danish. A fine acidity runs through it all and stops the sweetness turning sticky.
Palate
Sweet and juicy to begin: apricot, honeydew melon and candied lemon. Mid-palate the oak and white pepper tighten up and a faintly waxy texture appears. The 52% gives body without heat. After a few minutes in the glass a dried mango note steps forward.
Finish
Medium length. Honey and citrus peel first, then drier oak and a touch of ginger. The sweetness fades calmly.

Did You Know?
Tokaji was for centuries the most sought-after wine in Europe. Louis XIV is said to have called it Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum, the wine of kings and the king of wines. Casks like these almost never turn up in Scottish warehouses, and when they do it is usually because a small distillery fancied trying something the big ones cannot be bothered with.

1770 Glasgow 2018/2022 Red Wine & Ruby Port Cask 4 years old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-282

Two whiskies from the same distillery that were never meant to meet. One peated and finished in Bordeaux red wine casks. The other triple distilled and finished in Ruby Port. Somebody opened both and poured them together, and what came out makes more sense than it should.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow 2018/2022 Red Wine & Ruby Port Cask 4 Years Old is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in Bordeaux red wine casks and Ruby Port casks, bottled at 57.5%. It brings together two different malt whiskies, both made at Glasgow Distillery, released in the distillery’s Small Batch Series at 1,925 bottles.
The first part is peated and took its finish in casks from Bordeaux, which lays dark berries and a drier tannic edge into the smoke. The second is triple distilled and unpeated, finished in Ruby Port, giving red fruit, sweetness and a fuller texture. Because every drop comes from the one distillery, the whisky is still a Single Malt.
The water comes from Loch Katrine, the mash ferments for more than 72 hours, and distillation runs slowly in copper pot stills. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark berries first, blackberry and preserved cherry, and behind them a dry earthy smoke closer to cold ash than a bonfire. There is vinous sweetness too and a streak of liquorice. The smoke is clear but it does not fill the whole glass.
Palate
Sweet and full to start: raspberry, redcurrant and a little dark chocolate. Then the smoke arrives from the side along with black pepper and a drier tannin from the red wine wood. At 57.5% the body is generous, and a pleasant tension between sweet and smoky runs the whole way through.
Finish
Long and in two halves. The fruit lingers first, then a drier note of ash and pepper takes over and releases slowly.

Did You Know?
Glasgow Distillery runs peated, unpeated and triple distilled production within the same year. Most Scottish malt distilleries stick to one style, but here the recipe is deliberately switched so there is something different to build with when the casks are brought together. This bottle is a direct result of working that way.

1770 Glasgow Mac Y 25th Jubile Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 50 cl 55,3%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279953

Twenty-five years as a Danish whisky importer deserves more than a speech. Mac Y picked a peated cask from Glasgow that had spent its final months in Ruby Port and marked the anniversary with 482 half bottles. Smoke and red fruit in one glass. There is a reason that cask was chosen.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow Mac Y 25th Jubile Release is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill ex-bourbon cask and finished in a Ruby Port barrique, bottled at 55.3% in 50 cl format. Cask 17/803 was distilled on 12 October 2017 and bottled on 4 November 2021, yielding 482 bottles.
The spirit is peated, and that matters: Glasgow Distillery only runs peated malt for part of the year, so the volume is limited from the outset. The bourbon cask laid down vanilla and coconut, and the Ruby Port cask stacked red fruit and sweetness on top. That combination gives the whisky its unusual balance of sweet smoke and berries.
The bottling was created for Mac Y’s 25th anniversary in September 2021, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet peat smoke first, close to a toasted marshmallow held near a fire pit. Then rich chocolate cake, freshly planed oak and a note of rolling tobacco. Further back sit cracked leather and a hint of preserved cherry.
Palate
Rich and smooth. Strawberry and raspberry open, then sponge cake, cocoa and milk chocolate with coffee beans in the background. The smoke lies underneath as a warm floor rather than a point. At 55.3% there is body without hard edges.
Finish
Long and layered. Full red fruit, a smoked barbecue note and dried dark fruits that release slowly.

Aberargie Inaugural Release Single Malt Scotch Lowland Whisky 70 cl 48,2%

Item no.: 2226-197255

There is something nerve-wracking about a first release. Everything the distillery has learned sits in that one bottle, and there is no earlier batch to hide behind. The Morrison family had not distilled for over 30 years when they fired up the stills on the farm at Aberargie. This is the answer to whether it was worth the wait.
The Expert's Description
Aberargie Inaugural Release is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill ex-bourbon casks and 1st fill Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled at 48.2%. It is the distillery's first single malt, distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2026, and the first whisky created from grain to bottle on the family's own land.
The barley is grown on the farm’s 300 acres and splits 52% Golden Promise and 48% Laureate. Golden Promise is an older variety with lower yield and more cereal character, Laureate a modern and efficient one, and the combination gives both depth and a clean, clear malt profile. Maturation is divided evenly between American bourbon casks and Spanish sherry casks from Miquel Martin, with every cask shipped whole to protect the aroma in the wood.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. It was released to specialist whisky retailers worldwide in March 2026 and marks the Morrison family’s return to distilling after a break of more than three decades.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Baked apple and golden pastry first, close to sugared puff pastry. Behind come fresh barley, vanilla and a light tropical note of mango and pineapple. The sherry casks add a layer of dried fruit and a subtle spiced sweetness.
Palate
Clean and malty with clear cereal character. Honey and citrus open, then soft oak and a natural sweetness from the barley. The sherry portion lays in raisins and a mild spiced depth without taking over. At 48.2% there is good body and a neat balance between fruit and wood.
Finish
Medium length and clean, with malt, oak and a herbal, lightly dry close that keeps the mouth fresh.

Medium. First releases from new distilleries carry built-in scarcity: there will never be more of this exact bottling, and they often become sought after if the distillery goes on to do well. Aberargie is also barley-to-bottle on its own land, which makes the bottle interesting beyond the historical marker.
Did You Know?
The Morrison family is one of the longest established names in Scotch whisky, yet they had not distilled themselves for more than 30 years before Aberargie came on stream. The farm sits just outside Perth, and the barley grows literally outside the warehouse door, something very few Scottish distilleries can claim.

Aberfeldy 16 years old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865391-335

The Tay valley is green, wet and fairly quiet. Aberfeldy works the same way: no smoke, no rush, just time in wood. By sixteen years the distillery's pale honey has picked up something darker, and the whisky starts to seem like one that has slept long and slept well.
Expert description
Aberfeldy 16 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill, refill and re-char bourbon casks and finished for roughly six months in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry casks, bottled at 40%. It sits at the top of the core range, above the 12 and below the rarer releases.
The buildings outside the town of Aberfeldy were drawn by Charles Doig, the man behind the pagoda roofs on a good share of Scotland’s distilleries, and the Dewar brothers bought the land from the Marquis of Breadalbane. The distillery opened in 1898 with one purpose: to feed the heart malt into the house blends. Bacardi has owned the place since 1998, and it is really only in that period that Aberfeldy has been built up as a single malt brand in its own right.
The malt is unpeated, so there is no smoke here either. The cask history runs in two stages. First sixteen years in American oak, where the mix of 1st fill, refill and re-charred bourbon casks gives vanilla, honey and a lightly toasted note. Then half a year in 1st fill Oloroso casks, and that is the stay that lays fruitcake, dark chocolate and orange peel across the top. The sherry never quite takes over, but it shifts the centre of gravity noticeably.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey and orange, then a dry clove-like spice a moment later. Ginger sits behind it, together with raisins and a hint of cake batter.
Palate
Fuller than the age and the 40% would suggest. Fruitcake, marzipan and milk chocolate first, then orange turning steadily more bitter. The spice is soft and nutty rather than sharp.
Finish
Long and mouth-coating. Dark chocolate and bitter orange hold on while the sweetness pulls back, leaving something close to dry.

Aberlour 16 years old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865471-68

At the foot of Ben Rinnes, the Lour burn runs past a distillery that has stood in Charlestown of Aberlour since 1879. The whisky made here is matured twice over, first in American oak and then in Spanish sherry casks. This 16 year old release is no longer in production.
The expert's description
Aberlour 16 Years Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40% is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured first in 1st fill Bourbon casks and then in Sherry casks, bottled at 40%.
Aberlour was founded in 1879 by James Fleming in Charlestown of Aberlour, where the Lour burn comes down off Ben Rinnes and joins the Spey. A fire in 1898 flattened most of the site and took the buildings and the stocks with it. The distillery was rebuilt, and since 1975 it has belonged to Pernod Ricard.
Double Cask Matured is the maturation method the whole range is built on. The spirit starts out in 1st fill Bourbon casks of American oak, picking up vanilla, coconut and a bright sweetness. It is then racked into Sherry casks, and that is where the darker layers arrive: raisin, plum and spice. The two cask types pull in opposite directions, and the meeting point between them is the whole idea behind the bottle.
Aberlour 16 Years is bottled at 40%, slightly lower than earlier releases of the same whisky. The expression has been discontinued and is no longer produced.
Aberlour is one of the best-selling Single Malt Whisky brands in France, and the French market has been the distillery's most important for decades. The soft, sherried style caught on there long before the rest of the world found its way to Speyside.
Tasting notes
Nose
Warm golden amber in the glass. The nose is creamy and soft with sweet raisins, dried plums and spiced nuts, and a trace of vanilla sits behind it all from the American oak.
Palate
Soft and round from the first sip. Flowers and mild spice land first, then the sweet plums and raisins arrive, and a light oak note finally keeps the sweetness in check. The body is more light than heavy, which makes it easy to drink neat.
Finish
Long and warm. Spiced honey lingers alongside a dry, nutty tone from the sherry cask, and it takes a good while before the mouth is clean again.

Aberlour 18 years old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 50 cl 43%

Item no.: 27221-65635

Where the Lour Burn meets the River Spey, at the heart of Speyside's most classic whisky landscape, Aberlour has been distilling malt since 1879.
Expert description
Aberlour 18 Year Old Double Cask Matured Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Aberlour is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled at 43%. The distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming at the confluence of the Lour Burn and the River Spey, a location that gave the distillery both its name — 'mouth of the chattering burn' — and the soft, iron-free spring water still used in production today. Aberlour has been owned for decades by Chivas Brothers, part of the French drinks group Pernod Ricard, and is at the same time France's best-selling single malt whisky, a result of the distillery's long-standing ties to the French market. The 18 Year Old undergoes double maturation: the whisky first matures in ex-bourbon casks before a significant portion is transferred to oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, giving it its characteristic combination of soft sweetness and deep fruitiness.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose opens with raisins, orange peel and a soft sherry sweetness, backed by dark chocolate and a hint of oak spice.
Palate
The palate offers dried fruit, walnuts and a smooth sweetness, with layers of cinnamon and an undertone of apple pie.
Finish
The finish is long and warming, with sherry, brown sugar and a closing hint of smoke.

Annandale 10 year old Man O Swords Cask 39 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,6%

Item no.: 05977-556

Cask number 39 was filled in the first year the distillery ran after nearly a century of silence. Ten years later it has been emptied again: 239 bottles of the peated style Annandale named after a king who beat the English.
The Expert's Description
Annandale 10 Years Old Man O' Sword Cask 39 is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill ex-bourbon cask and bottled at 58.6% cask strength. Cask 39 was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2025, yielding 239 bottles.
Man O' Sword is the distillery's peated range, named after Robert the Bruce, Scotland's warrior king and the seventh Lord of Annandale. The unpeated style is called Man O' Words after Robert Burns. Two Roberts, two entirely different whiskies, and it is the peated one in this bottle.
A refill bourbon cask is a more restrained choice than a first fill. The wood gives less vanilla and less sweetness, letting the smoke and the spirit’s own fruitiness come through more plainly across ten years. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and the colour is a pale clear gold precisely because the cask gave little.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet peat smoke first, mixed with dark syrup and soft butter. The smoke is present but restrained rather than overwhelming. Ripe apples and a drier cereal note sit behind.
Palate
Fresh and rounded at the same time. Apples and pears open with clear fruitiness, quickly followed by the smoke and a green grassy freshness that tells you the whisky comes from the Lowlands. The texture is oily and carries the flavours well.
Finish
Long, warm and persistent. Wood, spice and smoked malt in balance, where the smoke lengthens the experience rather than shouting over the finer nuances.

Medium. The cask was filled in the distillery's first year of production, and only 239 bottles exist. Ten year old releases from revived distilleries are a one-off performance: once that vintage is emptied, it cannot be repeated.
Did You Know?
Annandale fell silent in 1918 and was later used as a production line for Provost porridge oats. The buildings stood decaying for decades until David Thomson and Teresa Church began a thorough restoration. The first spirit ran from the stills on 9 November 2014, and cask number one was filled six days later, in the original 1830s warehouse.

Annandale 10 year old Man O Words Cask 121 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59,7%

Item no.: 05977-555

Robert Burns was an exciseman in Annan before he became Scotland’s national poet. That is a pleasing detail to carry into a whisky named after him: the man who came to collect the duty has now given his name to a bottle at cask strength.
The Expert's Description
Annandale 10 Years Old Man O' Words Cask 121 is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill ex-bourbon cask and bottled at 59.7% cask strength. It is the first ten year old unpeated whisky from the distillery to be made available internationally, aimed at the trade and at enthusiasts.
Man O' Words is Annandale's unpeated range, named after Robert Burns. This particular bottling is atypical for the house because cask and spirit carry equal weight: neither the wood nor the distillate dominates. The refill bourbon cask has been allowed to work gently alongside the distillery's fruity new make across a full decade.
The distillery’s signature orchard aroma of apple and pear is clearly present and balanced by classic bourbon notes of vanilla, light spice and sweet oak. The whisky is non-chill filtered and bottled undiluted.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla, spices and juicy peaches first. Behind them sit crisp green apple and a touch of tropical fruit that lends the nose an exotic edge. Clean and inviting with no sharp alcohol note.
Palate
Soft and welcoming with creamy vanilla and a fresh green herbal note. Sweet wood and something close to marshmallow step forward mid-palate. The mouthfeel is light and complex at once, and Annandale’s unpeated character really gets room here.
Finish
Long, warm and persistent with spice, ripe fruit and a touch of cherry that slowly fades out.

Did You Know?
Annandale was founded in 1836 by George Donald, an excise officer from Elgin. The distillery later passed through the hands of John Walker & Sons, yes, the Johnnie Walker ones, before production stopped around 1918. There is therefore a line running from a taxman, through the world’s biggest blend, to a Robert Burns label at cask strength.

Annandale 2016/2024 Private Release 8 Years Old Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 62,8%

Item no.: 2222755596-33215

A private bottling is not a marketing exercise. Somebody tasted their way through a row of casks in a warehouse in southern Scotland, pointed at number 836 and said: that one, the whole cask, for us. Two hundred and thirty-one bottles of conviction.
The Expert's Description
Annandale 2016/2024 Single Cask Private Release 8 Years Old is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and bottled at 62.8% cask strength. Cask 836 was distilled on 3 November 2016 and bottled on 11 December 2024, giving 231 bottles released exclusively for The Norseman.
In a private bottling the buyer takes the whole cask, and there is no blending and no adjustment of strength. The whisky goes into the bottle as it came out of the wood, so 62.8% is not a choice but a result. The bourbon cask has laid in vanilla, coconut and cereal sweetness across eight years, and because Annandale’s spirit is fruity and fresh in itself, the profile ends up bright rather than woody.
The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. Annandale sits at Annan in Dumfriesshire, only a quarter of an hour’s drive from the English border, which makes it one of the southernmost distilleries in Scotland.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla and coconut macaroon first, clearly bourbon-driven. Behind them crisp green apple, pear and a warm cereal note like fresh bread. At 62.8% there is alcohol on the nose, so let the glass sit for a couple of minutes.
Palate
Powerful and concentrated. Custard and baked apple open, then white pepper, cinnamon and a drier oak edge. A clear sweetness runs underneath and keeps the strength in check. The texture is thick, close to syrupy.
Finish
Long and warm. Vanilla, spice and a dry cereal note that lets go slowly. The alcohol leaves a pleasant heat rather than a burn.

Did You Know?
Annandale lies so far south in Scotland that the distillery is closer to Carlisle in England than to the nearest Highland distilleries. Only a quarter of an hour separates it from the border. That was once an advantage: the whisky could be sent straight south to the English market without the long haul down the country.

Annandale Double Oaked Man O Swords Cask 1437 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 61,1%

Item no.: 05977-561

A cask already used twice in Kentucky gets a third turn in Scotland. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is made by moving finished bourbon into yet another freshly charred barrel. That barrel then came over here, with peated Scottish malt inside it.
The Expert's Description
Annandale Double Oaked Man O' Sword Cask 1437 is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an ex-Woodford Reserve Double Oaked cask and bottled at 61.1% cask strength. The cask was filled in 2017 and emptied in 2023, giving six years.
Man O' Sword is Annandale's peated range, named after Robert the Bruce. The combination of peat smoke and a double-charred bourbon barrel is unusual: the cask has already given up most of its bourbon character in Kentucky, but the extra char released fresh sugars in the wood, and it is those that meet the smoke here.
The result is powerful and full of character. At 61.1% there is nothing cautious in the bottle, and the whisky is non-chill filtered. Annandale sits in Dumfriesshire in the far south of Scotland and has run both peated and unpeated production since reopening in 2014.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Charred pineapple first, a note you do not meet often, alongside peat smoke and crisp biscuits. Behind them come burnt sugar and a warm, almost resinous wood note from the double-charred cask.
Palate
Black pepper and fire embers open, quickly followed by caramel and a thick sweetness from the wood. The smoke sits in the middle of it all rather than beneath, and the 61.1% gives a full, insistent mouthfeel. There are no soft edges here.
Finish
Long and warm. Smoke, spice and burnt sugar hold on for a good while, with a dry ash note right at the end.

Did You Know?
Double Oaked is a bourbon technique, not a Scottish one. Woodford Reserve takes fully matured bourbon and moves it into another new charred oak barrel for an extra spell. When that barrel is later shipped to Scotland it arrives with two layers of char and has already given up most of its bourbon sweetness, which produces a very different cask influence from a standard ex-bourbon barrel.

Annandale Man O Words Cask 397 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 60.4%

Item no.: 059763-615-733

Fino is the sherry nobody uses for whisky. It is pale, bone dry and matured under a living film of yeast. Putting a young, fruity Lowland malt into a cask like that is either reckless or precise. Here it is the latter.
The Expert's Description
Annandale Man O' Words Cask 397 is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an ex-Fino Sherry Butt and bottled at 60.4% cask strength. The cask was filled in 2018 and emptied in 2023, giving around five years.
Man O' Words is the distillery's unpeated range, named after Robert Burns. Fino is the driest and palest of the sherry styles, so an ex-Fino cask delivers something entirely different from the classic Oloroso: no raisins and dark fruit, but salted almonds, green apple acidity and a dry, almost bakery-like nuttiness.
That suits Annandale’s spirit unusually well, being fresh and fruit-driven already. Instead of laying a heavy coat of fruit over the top, the Fino cask tightens the whisky and gives it more edge. The whisky is non-chill filtered.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Green apple and pear first, then salted almonds and a dry yeasty note that is the Fino cask’s fingerprint. Citrus peel and something close to white bread sit at the back.
Palate
Dry and taut to begin, unusual for a whisky from a sherry cask. Apple acidity and almond open, then a mild spiced warmth and a light sweetness from the spirit itself. The 60.4% brings power, yet the whisky stays lean rather than full.
Finish
Medium length and dry. Nuts, green fruit and a saline mineral note that lingers. No sweetness at the close.

Did You Know?
Fino matures under flor, a living veil of yeast that settles like a blanket over the wine in the cask and keeps it from meeting the air. That is why Fino stays pale and dry, where Oloroso, matured without flor, turns dark and nutty. That difference carries straight into the whisky.

Arbikie 1794 Batch 22 Highland Rye Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

Item no.: 059763-615-613

The rye field lies three hundred metres from the stills. That is not a romantic turn of phrase, it is an address. At Arbikie everything is sown, harvested, distilled, matured and bottled on the same farm running down to Lunan Bay, and that makes this whisky something very few Scottish distilleries can imitate.
The Expert's Description
Arbikie 1794 Batch 22 is a Highland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in new charred American oak casks and bottled at 48%. The batch yielded 2,490 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
The rye makes it a Single Grain rather than a Single Malt, since the term Single Malt is reserved for whisky made solely from malted barley. 1794 was the first rye whisky ever made in Scotland, and the name refers to the year distilling first took place at Arbikie. Maturation happens entirely in new charred oak, which is unusual in Scotland but entirely normal for American rye.
Every batch turns out differently, because weather, field and grain variety shift from year to year. Batch 22 carries a deep rich amber colour from the new wood and aromas of hedgerow berries, black tea and caramel. The Stirling family has been farming since 1660 and has been at Arbikie for four generations.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Hedgerow berries and black tea first, with a layer of warm caramel underneath. The rye reports in as dried dill and a peppery, almost green note. The new oak gives vanilla and a light resinous scent, more American than Scottish.
Palate
Spicy and dry from the start. The rye fills the mid-palate with pepper and a sweetish cereal character, while the charred oak lays caramel, cinnamon and burnt sugar on top. At 48% there is body enough to carry it without the whisky turning hard.
Finish
Long and spicy. Pepper, dried fruit and a dry woody close, where the rye hangs on longest.

The family has now worked that farm for four generations, and it is the same ground the rye for this whisky grows on.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in French oak and ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 57.1%.

The bottle belongs to the Smoketrails series, where Ardbeg travels the globe for casks that have never before touched a drop of Scotch whisky and lets them enter a dialogue with the distillery's peat smoke. This time it's the bold red wine casks from Napa Valley leaving their mark, in the current Batch US/NV 2024/03.

A universe of smoke, where the peat doesn't just fill the glass but the whole room around it.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Smokiverse is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 48.3%.
The nose delivers an explosion of fruity esters reminiscent of smoked bubblegum, mixed with ripening barley and toasted sourdough. The whisky is non-chill filtered, so its full, oily structure carries right through to the glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dense, sweet peat smoke mingles with lightly smoked tropical fruit, and a drop of water draws the aromas out even further.
Palate
Rich and creamy with a luxurious mouthfeel that shifts into sharp, sooty, spiced notes of creosote, aniseed and cloves, balanced by muscovado sugar.

Ardbeg Uigeadail Single Islay Malt Whisky 54,2%

Item no.: 22227865466-10

Named after the loch the distillery draws its water from, and just as dark and pulling as the name suggests.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Uigeadail is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 54.2%.
The name is pronounced "Oog-a-dal" and comes from the loch where Ardbeg draws its water, a direct nod to the island's rugged nature. The whisky is non-chill filtered and unadulterated with colour, preserving the full depth from both the bourbon and sherry casks.
Uigeadail has won several international awards and is regarded by many as one of the most complete releases in Ardbeg's range, precisely because it unites the distillery's peat smoke with a deep sherry sweetness without losing balance.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Tar, burnt wood and maritime notes meet dried fruit, honey and warm spice from the sherry casks.
Palate
Bold and complex, where smoky tar, burnt sugar and dark chocolate play alongside raisins and spice.

Long and warm, with a deep and satisfying finish that ties smoke and sweetness together.

Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old Sherry Butt Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 63.4%

Item no.: 22244-78663

Two casks filled on the same day, in the same warehouse, with the same spirit. One was emptied in January, the other in March. Fourteen months and four digits separate them, and they do not taste alike. That is exactly why single casks are interesting.
The Expert's Description
Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 12 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill Oloroso Sherry Butt and bottled at 63.4% cask strength. Cask 900028 was distilled on 27 January 2011 and bottled on 8 March 2023, giving 622 bottles in Signatory's Cask Strength Collection.
Ardlair is the Ardmore distillery’s unpeated whisky, and because there is no smoke to contend with, the cask can work directly on the spirit’s fruitiness. The refill sherry cask gives a complex, fruity profile without drowning the spirit’s own character, and that balance is the whole point of a refill cask over a first fill.
The whisky is bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour. Ardmore sits at Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire and has been running since 1898.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh apples first, then pistachios and burnt almonds. A dry sherry note sits behind, along with a light salted caramel sweetness that ties it together. At 63.4% the alcohol is obvious, so give the glass a little time.
Palate
Creamy in texture despite the strength. Dried fruit and nuts open, then salted caramel and a clear sherry character with spiced oak underneath. The whisky is powerful, yet it has finesse enough not to be merely power.
Finish
Long and persistent. Nuts, dried fruit and a dry oak close, where the sherry lets go last.

Did You Know?
Ardmore makes medium peated whisky at around 12 to 14 ppm, which is low compared with Islay but unusual for a Highland distillery. It is one of very few in the region where peat smoke is the core style rather than a side project. Ardlair is the part of the production where the peat is left out.

Ardmore 2009/2022 Adelphi Selection 12 yr FC Whisky Single Malt Scotch Whisky 58,6%

Item no.: 22227865555-88874123

The cask came from Laphroaig on Islay. The whisky came from Ardmore in Aberdeenshire. Two peated houses from opposite ends of Scotland shared the same wood, and the result was 194 bottles, released for the Danish market alone.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore 2009/2022 Adelphi Selection 12 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a used bourbon cask from Laphroaig and bottled at 58.6% cask strength. Cask 709300 was distilled on 16 December 2009 and bottled on 11 October 2022, giving 194 bottles for FC Whisky in Denmark.
An ex-Laphroaig cask is not neutral. Laphroaig is one of the most heavily peated whiskies in Scotland, and phenols from the previous filling remain in the staves. Put Ardmore’s own peated malt into that cask and you get two kinds of smoke that are not alike: Ardmore’s dry earthy Highland smoke and a saltier, more medicinal undercurrent from Islay.
Adelphi is known for a very strict selection, where only a small fraction of the casks the house tastes make it through. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke and salt first, with tar and a suggestion of iodine behind, the Laphroaig inheritance is obvious. Vanilla, honey and toasted malt from the bourbon wood sit underneath.
Palate
Powerful and oily. Smoke and salt open, then honey, vanilla and a dry peppery spice. The 58.6% pushes hard, but there is body enough to carry it. A few drops of water draw out the sweetness and calm the salt.
Finish
Long and dry. Ash, salt and spiced oak, with a final malt sweetness lingering beneath the smoke.

Did You Know?
The cask has travelled an unusual route. It was first filled with bourbon in the United States, then shipped to Islay and filled with Laphroaig, and finally taken to Aberdeenshire to hold Ardmore. Three countries, three contents, and all three can be tasted in the finished whisky if you go looking for them.

Ardnahoe Cask Strength Batch 1 Single Islay Malt Whisky 60,9%

Item no.: 222355-651

The first cask strength batch from a distillery that has only been making whisky since 2018. There is no history to lean on and no older vintages to compare against. There is just five years in first fill bourbon and 60.9% in the bottle.
The Expert's Description
Ardnahoe Cask Strength Batch 1 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for five years in carefully selected 1st fill bourbon casks and bottled at 60.9% natural cask strength. It is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
First fill bourbon casks are a deliberate counterweight to the young age. The casks are active and give vanilla, coconut and body quickly, and they meet a spirit that is already full thanks to Ardnahoe’s worm tubs and long lyne arms. The combination delivers more weight than five years would normally allow.
Ardnahoe is Islay’s ninth distillery and was built by the independent bottler Hunter Laing. It opened in October 2018 and is the only one on the island using worm tubs.
Tasting Notes
Nose
A fresh coastal breeze first, then earthy peat smoke and rich cocoa. Vanilla and coconut from the new bourbon wood sit beneath, and at 60.9% the alcohol is pronounced, so let the glass rest a couple of minutes.
Palate
Orchard fruits open, followed by herbal tea and salted caramel developing into a complex, full body. The smoke sits underneath and comes forward more clearly with a little water. The texture is oily and fills out well.
Finish
A smoky close with elegant citrus shades that hang on the palate for a long time.

Investment Potential
Medium. A first batch in a series is by definition a one-off expression, and from a distillery producing only since 2018, early releases are the kind of bottle collectors look for once the house has established itself.
Did You Know?
Ardnahoe’s stills have the longest lyne arms in Scotland, 7.5 metres from still to condenser. Normally a long lyne arm gives a lighter spirit, because heavy vapours fall back along the way. But the distillery also uses worm tubs, which pull in the opposite direction. The two choices partly cancel each other out, and that is precisely the intention.

Ardnamurchan AD 01.21:01 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46.8%

Item no.: 22227865364-Batch02

Second batch, same recipe. 65% bourbon casks, 35% sherry casks, half peated and half unpeated malt. Ardnamurchan found the ratio they wanted and repeated it, which is harder than it sounds when the casks are not the same from one year to the next.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan AD 01.21:01 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky composed of 65% ex-bourbon casks and 35% sherry casks and bottled at 46.8%. This second batch ran to 14,676 bottles.
The malt is split evenly between peated and unpeated. That is the distillery’s founding choice: rather than making two separate whiskies they bring both styles together in the same bottle, so the smoke works as a floor rather than the main event. The split between bourbon and sherry meanwhile gives both vanilla and dark fruit.
Every bottle carries a QR code giving access to blockchain-registered production data, and the carton is made from 100% recycled board. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla and bright fruit first from the bourbon casks, then raisins and orange from the sherry portion. Beneath sits a dry peat smoke, clear without taking over, and a fresh malt note.
Palate
Soft and balanced. Baked apple, honey and vanilla open, then the sherry’s dark fruit and a lightly spiced warmth arrive. The smoke sits underneath and grows clearer towards the close. At 46.8% the body is good without being heavy.
Finish
Medium length. Malt, dark fruit and a dry smoky edge that lets go cleanly.

Ardnamurchan AD 09:15 Cask 588 FC Whisky Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 59,8%

Item no.: 2222333-745

September 2015, the distillery’s second year of operation. Cask 588 was filled with peated spirit and stood untouched for almost a decade before being emptied for one Danish importer. Two hundred and forty-eight bottles, and among the very first single casks Ardnamurchan released to a single customer.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan AD 09:15 Cask 588 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a peated 1st fill American ex-bourbon barrel and bottled at 59.8% cask strength. The cask was filled in September 2015 and emptied in 2024, giving 248 bottles released exclusively for FC Whisky.
A first fill American ex-bourbon barrel is active: it gives vanilla, coconut and a clear sweetness that normally settles over a spirit. Here it meets peated spirit, and the result is a whisky where the sweetness and the smoke share the space rather than fighting for it.
Ardnamurchan began distilling in July 2014, so a cask from September 2015 comes from the distillery’s earliest years. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke first, with vanilla and coconut right behind from the American wood. Salt and white pepper sit underneath, along with a clear maritime character that the peninsula’s seaside setting provides.
Palate
Peated and direct. Vanilla, salt and white pepper open, then the smoke arrives at full weight along with a dry oak note. The texture is oily, and at 59.8% there is plenty of concentration. Maritime in both nose and palate.
Finish
Long and dry. Smoke, salt and pepper, with a final vanilla sweetness beneath it all.

Did You Know?
Ardnamurchan sits by the sea on a peninsula that reaches furthest west on the Scottish mainland. The warehouses stand so close to the water that the salt air draws into the casks during maturation. That is why even the bourbon matured releases often carry a maritime note you will not find in whisky from inland.

Ardnamurchan AD 12:14 CK.440 FC Whisky Single Highland Malt Whisky 59,1%

Item no.: 22227865364-555

December 2014, five months after the distillery opened. Cask 440 is a Spanish Oloroso butt filled with unpeated spirit, and it is among the earliest casks in existence from Ardnamurchan. Six hundred and ninety-three bottles, released to one Danish importer.
The Expert's Description
Ardnamurchan AD 12:14 CK.440 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an unpeated Oloroso Sherry Butt of Spanish oak and bottled at 59.1% cask strength. The cask was filled in December 2014 and gave 693 bottles released exclusively for FC Whisky.
This is the unpeated side of the distillery. With no smoke to contend with, the Oloroso cask can work directly on the spirit’s fruitiness, and a full butt of around 500 litres works slowly and in measured fashion. The result is a sherry profile where dark fruit and nuts get room without being forced.
The cask was filled five months after the distillery opened in July 2014, which makes it one of the very earliest casks in the house. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Raisins and dark orange first, with walnut and a dry sherry note behind. Beneath sit fresh malt and a lightly waxy fruitiness that is Ardnamurchan’s unpeated signature.
Palate
Full and dark. Dried fruit, walnut and bitter chocolate open, then spice and an oak tannin tighten things mid-palate. At 59.1% the concentration is considerable, and a fresh acidity beneath the sherry keeps it from turning heavy.
Finish
Long and spiced. Raisin, nut and dry oak, with a warmth that lingers.

Did You Know?
Ardnamurchan keeps its peated and unpeated production separate in different periods of the year, and the casks are marked accordingly. CK.440 is marked unpeated, so you know in advance there is no smoke in the bottle, a clarity very few distilleries offer on single casks.
