  Laphroaig 15 year old Islay Single Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22115366-37

  Fifteen years in a warehouse on the south coast of Islay, where the wind comes in off the sea carrying salt. That's long enough for the smoke in a Laphroaig to loosen its grip a little. Not by much. Just enough that you suddenly notice the grapefruit hiding behind it.

  Expert's Description

  Laphroaig 15 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for 15 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46%.

  It's had a bumpy ride. The 15 Year Old first hit the shelves in 1985 and quickly picked up a loyal following. In 2009 it was pulled from the range and replaced by an 18 year old. For the distillery's 200th anniversary in 2015 it resurfaced as a limited release at 43%, then vanished again. In June 2026 it came back for good, as a permanent part of the range alongside the 10 Year Old and the 18 Year Old. And with a bit more muscle this time, at 46%.

  It starts with peated malt. Part of the barley is still turned by hand on the distillery's own malting floors and dried over Islay peat smoke, before being double distilled in Laphroaig's copper stills.

  All of the maturation has happened in American oak that previously held bourbon. No sherry, no finish, no tricks. The bourbon casks bring vanilla and a soft, yellow fruit sweetness, and the long years do the rest. The medicinal edge gets rounder, and the smoke folds in with citrus, peach and spices like clove and coriander. Laphroaig's master blender, Dr Calum Fraser of Suntory Global Spirits, has said they waited patiently for the whisky to be ready before bringing it back.

  The whisky is non-chill filtered with no added colour. On the box, Laphroaig sums up the flavour in three words: citrus, clove, smoke. Which is actually spot on.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh orange peel and grapefruit come first, a bit like peeling the fruit right over the glass. Underneath sits dry hay and a thin line of barbecue smoke. Give it a few minutes and vanilla appears, along with a single clove.

  Palate

  A broad wave of sea salt and smoke, oily and rich like smoked mackerel. Then cracked black pepper, cinnamon, clove and ground coriander. Towards the end it lifts, and juicy peach and ripe grapefruit take over.

  Finish

  Long and smoky. Your mouth waters, and the salty and the sweet keep pulling in opposite directions, in the best possible way.

  Macallan 12 Year Old 110 Proof Sherry Oak Collection Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55%

  Item no.: 222115145-2026

  Macallan sits half-buried in a hillside above the River Spey, its turf roof rolling like the Easter Elchies countryside around it. For two centuries the people inside have agreed on one thing: the sherry cask calls the shots. With 110 Proof, they have finally turned the volume up.

  Expert description

  Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak 110 Proof is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for 12 years in sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez and bottled at 55%.

  Picture the classic Sherry Oak 12 Year with most of the water left out. The standard bottling is brought down to 40%, while this one stops at 55%. The name comes from the American proof system, where the number is simply double the alcohol percentage. Less water means more of what the casks put in: a denser, almost oily texture and a sherry character that coats the whole mouth.

  The casks are predominantly European oak, with a small share of American oak. They are seasoned with sherry in Jerez de la Frontera, shipped to Scotland and filled with new make spirit from Macallan's famously small copper stills. European oak brings more tannin and darker fruit than American oak, and you can taste it here: dates, cherries and cocoa rather than vanilla and honey. All of the colour comes from the wood, with no caramel added.

  110 Proof first appeared in 2025, when the only way to buy it in Europe was through the British chain The Whisky Shop or directly from Macallan. In autumn 2026 it reached more markets, and it now sits in the Sherry Oak Collection alongside the 18, 25 and 30 year old.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sticky dates and cherry compote lead the way. Cinnamon and crushed cacao nibs follow, with dried orange slices adding a tart edge to all that sweetness.

  Palate

  Full and warming. Rich oak and sultanas, then stem ginger, star anise and mandarin. Further in, espresso beans dipped in dark chocolate.

  Finish

  Long, with dark treacle toffee and mocha, and a sweet cinnamon that refuses to leave.

  Did you know?

  110 Proof is an American measurement. Under the old British system, where spirit was supposedly tested by checking whether gunpowder soaked in it would still ignite, 100 proof equalled roughly 57.1%. In British terms, this whisky would only be about 96 proof.

  Bruichladdich 10 year Old Skool 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 222118656-1114

  On the western shore of Islay, facing the grey water of Loch Indaal, stands a distillery that once fell silent. In 2001 the stills were fired up again. Twenty-five years on, Bruichladdich looks back with a bottle that could have come straight off a 1980s shelf. The whisky inside is anything but old-fashioned.

  Expert's description

  Bruichladdich Old Skool 10 year is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon casks and 1st fill Sauternes casks and bottled at 50%.

  It is the first of three limited releases marking 25 years since the distillery was brought back to life. The label borrows its look from Bruichladdich's own bottlings of the 1980s, a deliberate glance over the shoulder. Every grain of barley was grown on Islay by 14 local farmers, all within roughly nine miles of the distillery. For Bruichladdich that is the point: barley has a sense of place, and you should be able to taste it.

  There is no peat here. The spirit is double distilled and spent ten years mostly in 1st fill American oak bourbon casks, which bring vanilla, coconut and soft caramel. A smaller parcel went into 1st fill Sauternes casks, and that is where the floral sweetness and ripe apricot come from. The casks were married, then reduced with Islay spring water to 50%, with no chill filtration and no added colour.

  The bottle itself contains around 60% recycled glass. Bruichladdich has not published a bottle count, but this is a limited release, and several UK retailers sold out within weeks of the March 2026 launch.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Ripe apricot and nectarine lead, followed by red plum and vanilla custard. Underneath sits a gentle, salty sea breeze, a quiet reminder of where it was made.

  Palate

  Rounded and slightly oily. Stone fruit and citrus zest, barley sugar and stewed pear. The oak adds creamy coconut and caramelised vanilla, while clove, ginger and toasted almond give it warmth and a bit of grip.

  Finish

  Apricot jam and toasted coconut linger, with barley sugar and dry toasted oak fading out last.

  Strathmill 2015 Cream Sherry Hogshead Finish 11 year old Little Brown Dog Single Speyside Malt Whisky 54,6%

  Item no.: 2212955-8111558

  Off a quiet road through Keith stands a distillery most drinkers have never heard of. Strathmill has spent over a century filling casks for J&B's blend, its own name almost never making it onto a label. This time, one cask gets to speak for itself.

  The expert's description

  Strathmill 2015 Little Brown Dog is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a Cream Sherry Hogshead of American oak and bottled at 54.6%.

  Strathmill in Keith is one of Speyside's most overlooked distilleries. For decades it has mostly filled malt for J&B's blend, and even Diageo has only put its name on a bottle a handful of times, most recently in the Flora & Fauna series. Little Brown Dog Spirits, the independent bottler from Aberdeenshire, found a cask from 2015 that stood apart from the rest of the parcel: rounded, clean and easy to drink, without the full sherry weight you'd expect from a cream sherry cask. The whisky spent its entire maturation in the same Cream Sherry Hogshead of American oak, giving a gentler, more integrated sherry character than casks with a heavier, more Spanish-style profile.

  The bottle was released in July 2026 as part of a seven-bottle batch from Little Brown Dog. Like all their single cask releases, it's bottled at cask strength, natural colour and non-chill filtered. Only 286 bottles were filled from this one cask.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Old oak furniture and rowan jelly on the nose, spiced with a touch of Grand Marnier - candied orange peel and a hint of cognac warmth.

  Palate

  The palate carries creamy custard doughnut and tart pink grapefruit, with the sherry showing through as a port glaze toward the middle.

  Finish

  The finish turns dry and mineral, like a cool white wine, followed by a fizz of pear soda and a last touch of nutmeg spice.

  Investment potential

  Medium - Strathmill is rarely bottled as a single malt, and only 286 bottles exist from this one cask. Little Brown Dog has built a solid reputation among collectors of independent bottlings in just a few years, which adds to the appeal of this kind of rare release.

  Did you know?

  The label nods to the pied wagtail from Diageo's official Flora & Fauna edition of Strathmill - one of the few times the distillery has ever been allowed to stand alone on a bottle.

  Aberlour 2014 First Fill Oloroso Finish 11 year old Little Brown Dog Single Speyside Malt Whisky 54,4%

  Item no.: 2212355-81117412

  In an old stone steading on a farm in rural Aberdeenshire, casks sit quietly maturing while Chris Reid and Andrew Smith keep watch over every one of them. Far from the marketing budgets of the big bottling houses, this time it's an Aberlour from 2014, tucked away on a first fill Oloroso cask for over a decade.

  Expert Description

  Aberlour 11 Year Little Brown Dog First Fill Oloroso is a Speyside Single Malt Whisky matured in a first fill Oloroso Hogshead and bottled at 54.4%.

  This is an independent single cask bottling from Little Brown Dog Spirits, the micro-distillery and bottling house that has been run from a farm in Fetternear, Aberdeenshire since 2018. The whisky was distilled at Aberlour on 2 December 2014 and rested on its Oloroso cask until bottling on 16 July 2026, coming in at 11 years old. Only 310 bottles exist worldwide, with no added colour and no chill filtration.

  Little Brown Dog themselves describe the release as "a big, dark Oloroso monster", drawing comparisons to the early batches of Aberlour A'bunadh. Aberlour is known for thriving in active sherry wood, and here a first fill cask has been left to do its work at full cask strength, with no water added along the way.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Black cherry jam and cocoa meet a faint trace of pencil shavings, with the cask strength giving the nose a dark, concentrated weight.

  Palate

  The palate brings dark chocolate with Brazil nuts and a spiced sweetness reminiscent of a festive clootie dumpling.

  Finish

  The finish settles softly into warm honey and coffee cake, with a faint bitter cocoa note lingering on.

  Bowmore 2015 Little Brown Dog 11 year old Refill Bourbon Barrel Single Islay Malt Whisky 58,3%

  Item no.: 22231155-94478

   

  A warehouse in Aberdeenshire, rows of quiet oak casks — and then one barrel that refused to blend in. When Little Brown Dog worked their way through a parcel of 2015 Bowmore, this was the cask that stopped them in their tracks. It didn't smell like the rest. It didn't taste anything like the rest. So they sketched a rough chicken on the side of it, just so they'd never lose track of which one it was.

  Expert's Description

  Bowmore 11 Year Old Little Brown Dog Refill Bourbon Barrel is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a Refill Bourbon Barrel and bottled at 58.3%. The whisky was distilled at Bowmore on 23 February 2015 and bottled by independent bottler Little Brown Dog in May 2026, after 11 years of maturation. Only 272 bottles exist of this release.

  This whisky was originally meant to disappear into a larger parcel – Bowmore typically vats several casks together before filling new ones. But when Little Brown Dog's Andrew and Chris tasted their way through the samples in the warehouse, this one cask stood out sharply from the rest. It carried more peat than Bowmore usually gives, and a striking, almost salty finish that made them sketch a rather amateur chicken on the side of the cask so they wouldn't mistake it for anything else. Rather than pouring it back into the parcel, they chose to bottle it on its own – which also explains why the label leans into a crisp-packet theme.

  The whisky is bottled without added colour and without chill filtration, straight from the cask at natural cask strength. The barrel it matured in had already been used once before, which means it doesn't sit heavily on top of the spirit – instead it lets Bowmore's own character, the soft smoke and the fruity sweetness, come through clearly.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft peat smoke settles under ripe nectarine and a touch of honey, while a hint of smouldering birch and toasted bread add depth.

  Palate

  The texture is creamy and full, with stewed peaches, sweet malt and a light honeyed sweetness that slowly turns towards something saltier and more savoury.

  Finish

  Long and unexpected – soft Islay peat mixed with ripe orchard fruit, ending in an unmistakably salty, snack-like savoury note that mostly resembles roast chicken crisps.

  Isle of Jura 2008 Little Brown Dog 17 year old Double Sherry Matured Single Island Malt Whisky 50,3%

  Item no.: 22333-911245

   

  Jura has one road, one pub and one distillery, and more deer than people. George Orwell found the isolation he needed here to write 1984, though he never got to taste the local whisky, since the distillery stood silent in his day. Little Brown Dog picked up a cask from the island that turned out darker than anyone expected.

  Expert's Description

  Jura 2008 Little Brown Dog Double Sherry Matured is an Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in oloroso and PX sherry casks, bottled at 50.3%.

  Little Brown Dog is an independent bottler based in Aberdeenshire, founded in 2018 by Andrew Smith and Chris Reid, known for colourful labels and a sharp eye for single casks away from the habits of the big established houses. This Jura began its life in a French oak oloroso hogshead. The cask was good, but it wasn't giving the sherry profile the bottlers were chasing, so the whisky was moved into a PX sherry cask for a further nine months. The result came out darker and sweeter than they had bargained for.

  The whisky was distilled on 11 July 2008 and bottled on 4 May 2026 in a small batch of just 300 bottles. Despite the heavy sherry influence, Jura's characteristically light, herbal and slightly oily spirit holds its ground and pushes through the sweetness rather than getting lost in it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose opens with bramble jelly and a freshly cut meadow, before a wave of dry sherry hits almost immediately.

  Palate

  On the palate, blaeberries and ripe plum unfold alongside a slice of pecan pie and a touch of dried thyme.

  Finish

  The finish runs long, with dark fruit molasses and a hint of tobacco, while a streak of fresh lime zest keeps the sweetness from turning cloying.

  Investment Potential

  Medium. Only 300 bottles were filled of this double sherry-matured Jura, and Little Brown Dog has built a reputation in just a few years as one of Scotland's most interesting independent bottlers. The combination of scarcity and growing demand for the bottler's single casks and small batches makes it a release worth watching for collectors.

  Did You Know?

  The label is Little Brown Dog's own tribute to the K Foundation's famous money-burning stunt on Jura in 1994, when the artist duo burned a million pounds in fifty-pound notes. The bottlers printed their own version, a fake note with a dog on it, and took a suitcase of them to the island to recreate the scene for the label.

  Balmenach-Glenlivet 2011/2026 Cadenheads Original Collection 15 year old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22134390-71499

  In Cromdale, where the Spey cuts through Speyside's green glens, stands a distillery most drinkers have never heard the name of, even though plenty of them have tasted it without knowing. Balmenach has spent two centuries handing its heavy, meaty spirit over to other people's blends – but every so often a bottle escapes on its own.

  Expert's Description

  Balmenach-Glenlivet 15 Year is a Speyside Single Malt Whisky matured in a Palo Cortado Hogshead and bottled at 46%. The release sits in Cadenhead's Original Collection, the independent bottler's more accessible range, where well-known and obscure distilleries alike are allowed to show their character without embellishment. The whisky was distilled in 2011 and has spent time in fresh Palo Cortado hogsheads since 2020, where the Spanish sherry style has folded sweetness and spice into an already heavy, oily spirit. Balmenach is one of the last distilleries in Scotland still running triple distillation, and the spirit condenses through old-fashioned worm tubs rather than modern shell-and-tube condensers – a combination that produces a slow-maturing, robust character unusually well suited to sherry wood. The malt is unpeated. The whisky is non-chill filtered and carries no added colouring, so what reaches the glass is whatever the spirit and the cask actually made.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Grassy and faintly crisp, like a freshly opened bag of pretzels, quickly joined by caramel, dulce de leche and a touch of tiramisu.

  Palate

  Cappuccino and chocolate truffle meet ripe banana in a full, creamy sip that sits heavy on the tongue.

  Finish

  Cocoa powder and walnut fade into blood orange and a hint of black pepper that lingers.

  Aultmore-Glenlivet 2011/2026 Cadenheads Original Collection 15 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 221134390-71478

  North of Keith, wrapped in a bog they call the Foggie Moss, a distillery has been quietly building a reputation for well over a century. Aultmore rarely gets to speak for itself – most of what it makes disappears into Dewar's blends before anyone notices. Every so often, though, a single cask gets pulled aside, and this time it's Cadenhead's turn to let it shine.

  The Expert's Description

  Aultmore-Glenlivet 15 Year Original Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Manzanilla Sherry casks and bottled at 46%.

  Aultmore-Glenlivet is the distillery's old-fashioned name – back when many Speyside distilleries tacked "Glenlivet" onto their label to borrow a little of their famous neighbour's shine, and Cadenhead's still keeps the tradition alive on its bottlings. Most of what comes out of Aultmore's quiet stills goes straight into Dewar's blends, so a standalone release like this one is a rare find. The whisky was distilled in 2011 and has spent time since 2022 in fresh Manzanilla Sherry casks, where Aultmore's light, grassy spirit has taken on the dry, saline sweetness of the sherry. It's part of Cadenhead's Original Collection – the bottler's more accessible range, which still sticks to the house rules: no chill filtration and no added colouring, so nothing the cask gave the whisky has been stripped or dyed away along the way.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe nectarines and orange liqueur open things up, with a sweet macaroon note sitting just underneath.

  Palate

  Caramelised sugar and stroopwafel meet a warm ginger spice, while juicy peaches keep it fresh and light.

  Finish

  The finish is buttery with a touch of cocoa, before an unexpected smoked paprika and a cinnamon-laced syrup round it off.

  Dufftown-Glenlivet 2009/2026 Cadenheads Original Collection 16 year old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22212510-71133

  There are seven distilleries in Dufftown, and locals like to say the town stands on quite as many stills as it does hills. Most of what runs out of Dufftown's stills never sees a bottle with its own name on it — it disappears into Bell's, Dewar's and Johnnie Walker's blends, unnoticed and unnamed. Cadenhead's caught a little of it anyway, and let it sit in bourbon casks since 2009.

  Expert description

  Dufftown-Glenlivet 16 Year Old from Cadenhead's Original Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Bourbon Hogsheads and bottled at 46%.

  Original Collection is Cadenhead's ongoing range of single-distillery releases, all bottled without added colour or chill filtration at the same fixed strength. Dufftown itself sends almost everything it distils into blends, so a solo release under its own name is a rare find — most people who've tasted this distillery's character have done so without knowing it. The whisky was distilled in 2009 from unpeated malt, and has spent its entire life in bourbon hogsheads with no finish or additional cask change along the way. It was bottled in August 2026, carrying Cadenhead's usual plain label — distillery, age and strength, nothing more.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose opens with pear drops and baked apples, a dusting of icing sugar, and the soft vanilla warmth of a victoria sponge fresh from the oven.

  Palate

  On the palate, tinned peaches in syrup meet the almond sweetness of a bakewell pudding, a tart edge of lemon curd, and a touch of raspberry.

  Finish

  The finish settles soft, with sugared almonds and rolled oats, and a last trace of golden syrup that lingers.

  Dufftown started life as a corn mill before Peter Mackenzie and co. converted it into a distillery in 1895 — and today it's almost impossible to find a drop of its spirit carrying the distillery's own name on the label without going through an independent bottler like Cadenhead's.

  Glen Spey 2009/2026 Cadenheads Original Collection 16 year old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 222125390-71112

  In the small town of Rothes, deep in Speyside, sits a distillery most people have never heard of, even though they have probably tasted it without knowing. Glen Spey brews almost exclusively for blends, and only rarely does a cask escape before it disappears into the mix. This time, Cadenhead's got there first.

  Expert Description

  Glen Spey-Glenlivet 16 Year Old Amontillado Hogsheads is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured on Amontillado Sherry Hogsheads and bottled at 46%.

  This bottling comes from Cadenhead's Original Collection, the independent bottler's range of smaller releases that showcase a distillery's typical character without embellishment. The whisky was distilled in 2009 and has spent time since 2022 in fresh Amontillado Sherry Hogsheads, picking up its final colour and spice before being bottled in August 2026.

  Glen Spey was founded in 1878 by James Stuart under the name Mill of Rothes, and just nine years later he sold the distillery on to the English wine and spirit merchant W. & A. Gilbey, making it the first Scottish malt distillery in English hands. Through a string of mergers it ended up with Diageo in 1997, its current owner. The distillery's two pairs of stills carry an unusual lantern shape fitted with purifiers, sending part of the vapour back into the pot and producing a lighter, cleaner spirit. That makes it ideal for blending, but it rarely gets bottled on its own. The vast majority of the output goes into the J&B blend, and official single malt releases from Glen Spey can be counted on one hand. The malt is unpeated, so there is no smoke to speak of.

  As with every Cadenhead's release, the whisky is non-chill filtered and free from added colouring.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Rhubarb and custard meet a touch of red wine, while the scent of freshly picked apples and ripe pears calls to mind a late-summer orchard.

  Palate

  On the palate there are red apples, a sweetness reminiscent of mango sorbet, and a warm bite of ginger cake.

  Finish

  The finish is spiced with cardamom and cloves, while a light, bitter note of orange peel ties it all together.

  Did You Know?

  The name Glen Spey-Glenlivet is a hangover from the 19th century, when a long list of Speyside distilleries tacked "-Glenlivet" onto their own name to borrow prestige from their far more famous neighbour. Glen Spey itself has only ever sent a handful of official single malt bottlings out into the world - the first one did not appear until 2001.

  Laphroaig 2015/2026 Cadenheads Original Collection 10 year old Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22441394-774152

  The south coast of Islay doesn't invite you to linger. Wind cuts sideways off the sea, and somewhere behind the spray, Laphroaig is quietly doing what it's done since 1815.

  Expert's Description

  Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cadenhead's Original Collection is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in bourbon barrels and bottled at 46%. The release belongs to Cadenhead's Original Collection, a series built from only a handful of casks at a time so the bottler's own reading of the distillery's character comes through, rather than the house style of the official range. This whisky was distilled in 2015 and bottled in August 2026, giving it a full ten years in wood. The barley is peated malt, and roughly a fifth of it is still floor-malted on-site at Laphroaig, a labour-intensive method most distilleries of comparable size gave up decades ago. The peat itself is cut on Islay, and it's what gives the spirit its trademark tarry, iodine-like edge. Distillation runs twice through seven copper pot stills, with an unusually long foreshot on the second run that keeps the heaviest, oiliest notes out of the final spirit. Only bourbon wood is used here, so there's no sherry or finishing cask softening the profile — this is Laphroaig stripped back to peat, brine and distillate character.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Gooseberry and sharp green fruit meet a cool menthol lift, with the tarry, salted smoke Laphroaig is known for sitting underneath.

  Palate

  Bold and direct, lime oil and tart Bramley apple cutting through the smoke, while salt and a light iodine bitterness hold it in check.

  Finish

  Long and smoky, with a dry, ash-like close where the citrus freshness lingers a while after the last sip.

  1770 Glasgow Cask Strength Peated Batch 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 60,7%

  Item no.: 2220-675523

  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.

  Arran Lochranza 2018/2026 HSG-Whisky 8 year old Single Cask Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 60,7%

  Item no.: 225449-233

  Norsemen once sailed along Arran's shore and called the island their own, long before the Scots took it back under a treaty in 1266. That same ground now sits beneath Lochranza Distillery, where spring water from Loch na Davie becomes whisky with the same stubborn character as the men who once settled here.

  Expert Description

  HSG-Whisky Lochranza 8 Year is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Isle of Arran, matured its entire life in one first fill sherry cask and bottled at cask strength 60.7%.

  The bottle belongs to the HSG-Whisky series, a private single cask release from HSG Whisky ApS, whose label is built around Norse mythology, complete with runes, ravens and an Odin-like figure flanked by warriors. The whisky comes from Lochranza Distillery, which traded under the name Arran Distillery until 2019, when its sister distillery Lagg opened on the southern tip of the island and made the name split necessary.

  The spirit was distilled on 13 February 2018 and has rested on that single sherry cask ever since, right up until bottling on 20 July 2026. Eight years on the same wood has given the whisky a dense, spicy character, where the sweetness of the sherry wood pushes deep into the spirit without drowning out the distillate's own fruitiness. Only 316 bottles were filled from this release.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe apple and citrus peel meet caramel and a trace of dried tobacco leaf - a nose that manages to feel both fresh and slightly aged at once.

  Palate

  Juicy pear and apricot unfold alongside orange peel, soft caramel and a touch of candied ginger that adds a small spicy bite along the way.

  Finish

  Long and spicy, with tobacco and caramel lingering well after the last sip.

  Sall Whisky TØRV 2.5 Organic Peated Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 51%

  Item no.: 0592355-733259

  Out on the Jutland bog the peat waits in dark layers of old plant matter, cut and dried the old way. Sall Whisky digs it up with a local peat guild and smokes their malt with it until the smoke sits deep in the grain. Tørv 2.5 is round five in that story - same fields, same stubborn peat.

  The Expert's Take

  Tørv 2.5 is a peated Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, bottled at 51%.

  Tørv is the smoky side of Sall Whisky Distillery's core range, sitting alongside the softer Muld and the sherry-driven Glød. The barley for 2.5 is the organic varieties Prospect and Evergreen, grown on the distillery's own fields Kvolbæk and Gejlund - this time drawn from two harvest years, 2020 and 2021, because Sall would rather use what the fields actually gave than wait for one uniform crop. The malt is a mix of pale and Vienna malt, smoked with Danish bog peat from North Jutland, supplied by the distillery's friends at Tørvebisserne in Moseby. The whisky is double distilled in direct-fired copper pot stills - a slower, more hands-on method than most young distilleries bother with. From there it rests in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before being bottled without chill filtration or added colour in August 2026. Only 850 bottles were filled from this batch.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Smoke arrives first - earthy and light, closer to fresh bog peat than a heavy Islay style. Behind it sits sweetness from the pale malt, with a touch of honey.

  Palate

  The smoke carries through onto the palate, met by a tart-sweet edge from the sherry casks and a rounder, softer character from the ex-bourbon casks.

  Finish

  Long and smoky, with a dry, peaty edge that slowly gives way to a faint malt sweetness.

  Did You Know?

  The peat for the Tørv series isn't dug by Sall themselves - it comes from Tørvebisserne, a small group of friends in Moseby, North Jutland, who cut peat from the local bog the old-fashioned way. Danish bog peat has a completely different composition of plant matter than Scottish peat, and that difference is what gives the Tørv series its own smoke character instead of just copying Islay.

  GlenAllachie 2015 The Sinteis Series Part 4 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,5%

  Item no.: 0592555-747336

  There's a quiet stubbornness to Billy Walker's pursuit of the perfect cask. At GlenAllachie in Speyside, wood management has become the beating heart of the distillery's identity, and the Sinteis Series is his most ambitious project yet. Its fourth chapter takes the whisky somewhere none of its predecessors have been – deep into the forests of Mongolia.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie Sinteis Part 4 2015 Mongolian Virgin Oak is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry casks and finished in Mongolian Virgin Oak, bottled at 58.5%.

  Sinteis is Gaelic for synthesis, and the name captures exactly what the series is about: letting two very different types of wood meet inside the same whisky. The first three releases leaned on virgin oak from America, Scotland and France. This time, Billy Walker looked much further east. Distilled in 2015, the whisky spent its early years resting in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry casks before being transferred into casks made from Mongolian oak, Quercus mongolica. It's a wood that almost never finds its way into a whisky warehouse, and it brings a character all its own: notes of caramel, honey, floral hints and warm spice layered on top of the Sherry's dark, fruity weight. The result is a whisky where GlenAllachie's familiar sweetness gets a genuinely exotic edge. It's bottled at cask strength, 58.5%, with no added colouring and no chill filtration, so nothing the casks gave it has been filtered away.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose opens with freshly baked pastry and butterscotch, where brandy-soaked fruit, cocoa and dark treacle mix with cinnamon and candied ginger.

  Palate

  On the palate it's rich and full-bodied, with candied hazelnuts, plum syrup and warm baking spices. Baked orange, vanilla, mocha, manuka honey and fig jam take over as it opens.

  Finish

  The finish is long and warming, with a dry, faintly spiced oak note from the young Mongolian wood that keeps the Sherry's sweetness anchored right to the end.

  Medium. Mongolian oak is among the rarest cask woods in the whisky world, and the Sinteis Series has already shown it can gather serious attention – Part 2 won a World Whiskies Award – and enthusiasm among collectors.

  Did You Know?

  Mongolian oak, Quercus mongolica, grows slowly and needs more than 100 years before the wood is mature enough to be cut into staves. That makes casks from this wood extremely rare – and a whisky matured in them something of a rarity in its own right.

  Linkwood 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 year Bourbon Barrel Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59%

  Item no.: 222273-0165

  Linkwood sits a little apart on the edge of Elgin, where the distillery's two stillhouses have quietly built a reputation as one of Speyside's most sought-after – and least seen – malts. Most of what comes off Linkwood's stills ends up in Johnnie Walker and White Horse, never under its own name. When a single cask does make it into a bottle, it's almost always an independent bottler who found it.

  The Expert's Description

  Linkwood 2012 Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel and bottled at cask strength, 59%.

  Among whisky people, Linkwood is often called a "top dressing" malt – the kind of spirit blenders keep back to add an extra layer of finish and lift to their blends. Because Diageo, who own the distillery, so rarely release Linkwood as a single malt, it's the independent bottlers who have kept the name alive among enthusiasts. Signatory Vintage sourced this cask from the 2012 vintage and let it mature for ten years before drawing it straight from the cask in 2023, without colouring or chill filtration.

  The cask is a 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel, meaning it held no other whisky before Linkwood – giving a cleaner, more direct read of both the grain and the wood than a refill cask would. At 59% there's plenty of power in the glass, and it's up to the drinker to find the balance with a little water.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Freshly cut hay and green apples meet a creamy vanilla note from the cask, with a hint of honey and a touch of grain underneath.

  Palate

  Delicate malted barley and ripe pear, carried by soft vanilla and a peppery warmth that makes the cask strength obvious.

  Finish

  Long, dry and lightly spiced, with a lingering note of citrus peel and good oak that stays with you.

  Medium. Linkwood is one of the most sought-after "top dressing" malts among blenders, yet it rarely reaches the market as a single cask under its own name. With only 143 bottles from this specific cask, drawn at cask strength by a respected bottler like Signatory Vintage, it holds real appeal for collectors chasing closed and under-exposed Speyside distilleries.

  Did You Know?

  After Linkwood reopened in 1945, it was run for years by the Gaelic-speaking distiller Roderick Mackenzie, who was so convinced that even the cobwebs in the stillhouse affected the character of the spirit that he refused to let anyone touch them.

  Lagg Distillery Manzanilla Sherry Finish Isle of Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57,6%

  Item no.: 222785479-4511

  The southern tip of Arran is not a gentle place to build a distillery. The wind comes straight off Kilbrannan Sound, and peat sits thick in the ground around Kilmory. That rawness is what Lagg has built its name on – and now it meets something entirely different: the pale, salty world of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

  Expert's Description

  Lagg Manzanilla Sherry Finish Small Batch is an Islands Single Malt Scotch Whisky, first matured in 1st and 2nd fill Bourbon casks before being finished in 1st fill Manzanilla Sherry casks for over a year, bottled at 57.6%. It's the distillery's second small batch release, following 2025's Palo Cortado Small Batch, and another step in Lagg's ongoing exploration of unusual Sherry cask types for its heavily peated spirit. Manzanilla isn't like most other Sherries – it's produced exclusively in the small coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where it matures under a protective layer of flor yeast right on the Atlantic. That gives it a paler, drier and fresher style than something like Oloroso or PX, with a touch of salt and almond rarely allowed anywhere near peated whisky. Peated to 50 ppm, non-chill filtered and free of added colour, Lagg hasn't held back – only 2,000 bottles exist of this release.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet syrup and maraschino cherry arrive first, carried by a gentle warmth that hints at what's underneath. Beneath it, a thread of smoke that never quite fades.

  Palate

  Hot honey meets spiced red fruit and cherry syrup, while a salted minerality cuts through the sweetness and keeps everything tight.

  Finish

  Long, dry and warming, with ashy bonfire smoke and a faint brine that recalls the sea just outside the distillery's windows.

  Scarabus Cigar Malt Edition Hunter Laing Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 222249-12235

  There's a bottle on Islay nobody will name a name for. Behind the bronze label with its hidden symbols sits a peated dram, born to mark the opening of Hunter Laing's own distillery, Ardnahoe. Scarabus means "a rocky place" in Old Norse - and that's about as much as the Laing family are willing to give away.

  Expert's Description

  Scarabus Cigar Malt is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, fully matured across Oloroso sherry casks, Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and Ruby Port casks, and bottled at 46%.

  Scarabus Cigar Malt is the newest addition to Hunter Laing's Scarabus collection, and it stands apart from the other expressions through its cask composition. Where the original bottling sticks to a more classic maturation, Cigar Malt is matured simultaneously across three cask types - Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez and Ruby Port - each layering something different on top of the signature Islay peat. The source distillery is undisclosed, as is tradition across the whole Scarabus range, though the depth of the smoke and the oily texture hint at one of the island's better-known peated producers.

  The name Cigar Malt is no accident. The whisky is built to hold its own against a bold cigar without either one drowning the other out - cocoa, roasted notes and a persistent smokiness give it the weight for it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Rich and generous with candied orange peel, stewed red berries and almonds, while an earthy peat works through underneath.

  Palate

  Dry peat smoke layers with dark treacle, dark fruit and a gentle, toasted sweetness from the casks.

  Finish

  Long and warming, with a rounded sweetness that lingers well after the last sip.

  Ezra Brooks 117 Proof 7 years old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 58,5%

  Item no.: 2229887-2215

  In Bardstown, Kentucky's self-declared bourbon capital, a thirteen-metre copper still runs around the clock. Here, at Lux Row Distillers, a recipe dating back to 1957 gets to be raw, undiluted, and completely unapologetic.

  Expert description

  Old Ezra 7 Year Barrel Strength is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled straight from the barrel with no water added, at a barrel strength of 58.5%.

  Where many barrel strength bourbons turn harsh and bracing at high proof, Old Ezra does the opposite. It's aged for seven years in new, charred American white oak barrels, and the result is surprisingly rounded even at 117 proof. The mash bill runs 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, distilled according to a recipe tracing back to the birth of the Ezra Brooks brand in Kentucky. The whiskey is charcoal filtered after distillation for its trademark smoothness, but it's neither chill filtered nor coloured, so what lands in the glass is as close as it gets to what came out of the barrel.

  Old Ezra 7 isn't an anniversary release or a one-off drop. It sits in Ezra Brooks' permanent lineup, and it's earned its keep, landing at number 7 on Whisky Advocate's Top 20 Whiskies list and picking up several double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition along the way.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sweet caramel and vanilla meet toasted oak and brown sugar, with a hint of dark chocolate and baking spice underneath.

  Palate

  Rich and spicy, with brown sugar, cinnamon, and dried fruit carried by oak and a touch of black pepper that bites just enough without taking over.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with caramel, oak, and a last flicker of citrus that lingers as the alcohol fades.

  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.

  Tamdhu-Glenlivet 2013/2025 Cadenheads Original Collection 12 years Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22225390-7558

  Speyside filtered through Cadenhead's uncompromising lens: no added colour, no chill-filtration, just Tamdhu's own spiced, fruit-laden spirit lifted to 46% and left to a refill oloroso cask to finish the story.

  Expert description

  Tamdhu-Glenlivet 2013/2025 Cadenhead's Original Collection 12 Year Old is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in refill oloroso hogsheads and bottled at 46%.

  This release belongs to Cadenhead's Original Collection, the series in which Scotland's oldest independent bottler presents single distillery spirit with nothing added and nothing filtered out. The liquid comes from Tamdhu in Knockando, a distillery founded in 1897 and now owned by Ian Macleod Distillers, who have shaped it into one of Speyside's most sherry-driven malts. The "Glenlivet" suffix is an old regional naming tradition from a time when the name signalled quality across Speyside rather than pointing to another distillery.

  The whisky spent twelve years in refill oloroso hogsheads, casks that had already given up much of their first sherry punch. That means a more restrained, savoury sherry note, letting Tamdhu's own spiced, fruit-forward character lead rather than being buried under dark sherry. This particular batch was bottled in May 2026 as part of the Original Collection.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dulce de leche and soft caramel open up alongside a streak of raspberry sorbet and baked pear, sweet and inviting with Speyside fruit right up front.

  Palate

  Blueberry and crystallised ginger meet a grainy, almost rye-bread-like note, spicy and savoury with an oily weight that carries the 46% comfortably.

  Finish

  Mandarin and vanilla drift into a hint of lemongrass, medium in length and fresh on the way out.

  Ben Nevis Cadenheads 13 Year Old 2012/2025 Original Collection Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22225390-7556

  The Original Collection is the Cadenhead way of keeping quiet. No cask stories on the front, no series names with swords and mountains, just distillery, vintage and strength. The rest has to stand up in the glass.

  The expert's description

  Ben Nevis 2012/2025 Cadenhead's 13 years Original Collection is a Single Highland Malt Whisky matured in bourbon hogsheads and Oloroso hogsheads and bottled at 46 % without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The Original Collection is the standing range of the house, where the whisky is bottled at 46 % rather than at cask strength so it is ready to drink straight away. The series still uses neither colouring nor chill filtration, and the cask types are not hidden.

  The two cask types pull in different directions. The bourbon wood gives the brightness and the sweet core, while Oloroso lays the darker, nuttier layers on top. Thirteen years is enough for the muscle of the Ben Nevis spirit to remain intact underneath the cask influence.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Biscotti and clootie dumpling, the Scottish steamed pudding full of dried fruit. Apricot marmalade and a sneeze of ginger on top.

  Palate

  Walnut whip and golden syrup, soft and sweet, with spiced cardamom buns adding warmth and bite.

  Finish

  Hazelnut and cocoa slide into blackcurrant, fading out on a dark, slightly bitter note.

  Fettercairn 1996/2014 Signatory 17 Year Old Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22218-50

  A cask filled on the last day of September 1996, and then seventeen years in which nobody touched it. Signatory left it standing until it was finished with itself, and bottled it as it was.

  Please note: wear and rust on the lid and the box.

  The expert description

  Fettercairn 1996/2014 Signatory 17 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single hogshead and bottled at 46%.

  The cask, number 4339, was filled on 30 September 1996 and bottled on 20 February 2014. Signatory Vintage of Pitlochry buys single casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them without chill filtration and without added colour, and it is exactly this kind of release where the character of Fettercairn is allowed to stand without being tidied up.

  Seventeen years in a hogshead is a calm maturation. The cask is large enough that the oak never takes charge, and the result is the clean, fruity house style in a more mature and restrained form than the official releases.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Soft notes of ripe barley, citrus oil and vanilla, with light tropical fruit and a touch of fresh oak and honey behind.

  Palate

  Round and full with classic Fettercairn tones of malt, pale caramel and fresh fruit, held together by a discreet spiced warmth from the cask.

  Finish

  Long, clean and lightly mineral with a dry elegance that reveals both the age and the quiet work of the cask.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Pomegranate, paprika and a nostalgic scent of freshly opened crayons.

  Palate

  Kilchoman 13 year old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 2223333-411115

  13 years is almost two-thirds of Kilchoman's entire lifetime as a distillery. This release is one of the rare moments where you can taste just how far the distillery's young, energetic style has developed over time.

  Expert's description

  Kilchoman 13 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 13 years and bottled at 50 %.

  With 13 years of maturation behind it, this is one of the oldest releases in Kilchoman's catalogue, surpassed only by a handful of even older limited editions. The long maturation has given the whisky time to settle, without losing the freshness and citrus character that defines the distillery's style.

  The maturation has given the whisky layer upon layer of complexity: cherry, heather blossom, caramel and spice dancing together with the characteristic peat smoke, leaving a soft, silky finish.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Juicy cherries and delicate heather blossom meet a deep, intense peat smoke.

  Palate

  Full, with notes of caramel, enticing spice and creamy vanilla that unite with the peat smoke in layer upon layer of complexity.

  Finish

  Soft and silky, with hints of butter and honey adding an extra dimension to the long, warm close.

  Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2025 Edition Sherry Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 05955-9663

  Named after the loch that mirrors the sky right behind the distillery, Loch Gorm is the release where Kilchoman sets the peat aside and lets the sherry casks take the lead. The 2025 edition is the darkest and roundest in years.

  Expert's description

  Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2025 Edition is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 10 years old, matured exclusively in ex-sherry casks and bottled at 46 %.

  Loch Gorm was born in 2013, when Kilchoman first vatted a whole batch entirely from sherry casks and gave it its own name. Since then it has become the distillery's standing annual sherry release — a counterpoint to the more bourbon-driven Machir Bay. The 2025 edition is built from selected oloroso sherry casks and is the first Loch Gorm to carry a fixed 10 year age statement, giving the whisky extra depth and a noticeably rounder character than earlier batches.

  Where Kilchoman's standard releases lean on citrus freshness and coastal smoke, Loch Gorm flips the script: the sherry's dried fruit and spice arrive first, while the peat smoke works underneath as a dark undercurrent. The result is a sherry bomb that never loses touch with Islay.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Raisins, prunes and dark marmalade meet toasted nuts and a hint of leather. The peat smoke sits deep beneath the fruit, alongside a touch of cinnamon and orange.

  Palate

  Full and round, with the sherry's sweetness and spice arriving first, followed by dark chocolate, dates and a growing wave of Islay smoke that ties everything together.

  Finish

  Long, warm and dry towards the end, with lingering smoke, toasted almonds and a final trace of dark marmalade.

  Benrinnes 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 yr Dechar Rechar Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58%

  Item no.: 222093-55885

  Dechar and rechar is a violent treatment: the charred layer is scraped away and the wood is burned again. The cask gets a new life, and the whisky gets a toasted sweetness you will not find in ordinary bourbon wood.

  The expert's description

  Benrinnes 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 years Dechar Rechar is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a dechar/rechar bourbon hogshead and bottled at 58 % cask strength.

  Cask no. 310542 was filled on 25 June 2012 and emptied on 1 March 2023, yielding 270 bottles. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

  The treatment removes the burnt inner layer of the cask, exposing fresh wood which is then charred anew. That gives a far more active surface than an ordinary refill cask, and in ten years the whisky draws vanilla, toasted sugar and spiced oak from the wood.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Warm bourbon notes with vanilla, toasted oak and caramelised sugar. Beneath the sweetness sit baked apples, citrus oil and a hint of malt biscuit.

  Palate

  Intense, full and oily. Vanilla pod, burnt sugar and spiced oak meet the heavy core of the spirit. The 58 % gives structure, and a few drops of water open a fresh fruit centre.

  Finish

  Long and warm with toasted wood, malt and a subtle spiced edge that lingers.

  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.

  Thy Whisky Danish Oak Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 51%

  Item no.: 2262358-955

  Vesterhav. Wind, salt spray and grey sky over northwest Jutland. Thy Whisky Vesterhav is the distillery's tribute to the landscape that surrounds it.

  Expert description

  Thy Whisky Vesterhav is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50% in a 70 cl bottle. Made from certified organic barley grown in Thy and distilled in-house. Vesterhav is named after the North Sea that characterises the coast and climate of northwest Jutland – and reflects the broad, open nature of Thy in its flavour profile.

  Vesterhav is not just a name – it is a character. The whisky is shaped by the northwest Jutland climate that gives slow maturation and a purity in the flavour profile that is clearly different from whiskies from more temperate regions.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and open with salt spray and malt, light citrus and a little white blossom. Inviting and clear.

  Palate

  Juicy and malt-sweet with fresh fruit, a little salt mineral and good fullness. Elegant and light sea air.

  Moderate with freshness and malt sweetness. Clean ending.
