Arran 10 years old Single Island Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865466-18271

Ten years is where many whisky drinkers first really meet Arran — an age-appropriate, easy-to-grasp introduction to the distillery's style.
A combination of mostly bourbon and a smaller sherry component that shows the breadth of Arran's character.
Expert Description
Arran 10 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Whisky matured mostly in American bourbon casks with a smaller share of sherry casks, bottled at 46%.
Around 60% of the whisky comes from bourbon casks, with the rest sherry-matured, giving a balance between bright fruitiness and a deeper sweetness. The classic citrus tone Arran is known for comes through clearly across both cask types.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet vanilla, banana, melon and cocoa.
Palate
More complex aromas with a deep character that never covers up the classic citrus tone.
Finish
Medium length and soft with lingering citrus and a light sweetness.

Arran 12 Year Old 1999 Vintage Pinot Noir Wine Cask Single Island Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 222596-1996633

An island full of wild ripe berries, sea air and a trace of Burgundy. It's not an obvious combination — but Arran isn't an obvious distillery either.
A vintage bottling from 1999, finished in Pinot Noir wine casks and bottled exclusively for the Danish trade market.
Expert Description
Arran 12 Year Old 1999 Vintage Pinot Noir Wine Cask is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in Pinot Noir wine casks, bottled at 46%.
The Isle of Arran sits in the Firth of Clyde west of Glasgow and is often described as Scotland in miniature. The Lochranza distillery opened in 1995 and is the island's only one, after British excise authorities shut down the last legal distillation in the 1800s. This 1999 Vintage was distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2011 after 12 years in cask, made exclusively for the professional Danish whisky trade. The whisky began its life in ex-bourbon casks, Arran's primary maturation wood, before receiving a finish in Pinot Noir wine casks — a grape with light tannins, red berry notes and a lightly earthy edge that leaves a clear mark without taking over from the whisky.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe red berries, macerated cherry and a touch of grape juice, followed by spices such as star anise, cinnamon and white pepper, with a clear and pleasant malted sweetness and a trace of salted island character.
Palate
Silky and lightly oily with clear fruitiness — grape, red berries, fermented apple and a peppery edge, tied together by caramel sweetness and vanilla.
Finish
Medium to long, spiced, with dryness from the wine cask and a warm island character that slowly fades.

Arran 1996/2023 Single Cask Denmark 26 years old Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 53.3%

Item no.: 059763-615-218

Some whiskies only get better with time. This one has waited twenty-six years in a single sherry cask, making it one of the oldest Arran bottlings ever sent to Denmark.
A sherry hogshead, tucked away in the Arran warehouses since the mid-nineties, now drawn straight from the wood.
Expert Description
Arran 1996/2023 Single Cask Denmark 26 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry hogshead and bottled at 53.3%.
Distilled in August 1996, when the Lochranza distillery was only a year old, the whisky spent a full 26 years in the same sherry cask before being bottled in July 2023, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 258 bottles exist from this cask, and the entire batch is reserved for Denmark – a rare chance to taste what a quarter century on sherry oak does to Arran's bright, fruity house style.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark, mature sherry with stewed fruit, walnut and a hint of leather that speaks of the years spent in wood.
Palate
Rich and deep with raisin, date and dark caramel, held together by a lightly bitter, oak-driven structure.
Finish
Long and dry, with spiced oak and a final trace of espresso.

Adelphi typically tastes 25 casks to find one good enough for their name. This is the one — a 20-year-old Arran, selected by two of the whisky trade's most respected figures.
Bottled at full cask strength to mark the independent bottler FC Whisky's 20th anniversary.
Expert Description
Arran 1999/2020 Adelphi Selection 20 Year Old FC Whisky is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in cask number 465 and bottled at 52.5%.
The whisky was distilled on 31 December 1999 and bottled on 7 January 2020 by the independent whisky merchant Adelphi Selection, whose manager Alex Bruce and whisky writer Charles MacLean together approve fewer than 4% of the casks they taste. This bottle marks FC Whisky's 20th anniversary, and with only 175 bottles from a single cask, it's a rare chance to taste Arran through one of Scotland's most discerning independent bottlers.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe fruit and honey, with a depth that only comes from two decades of maturation.
Palate
Rich and layered, where Arran's classic citrus character meets a warm, spiced structure from the cask.

Arran 2006/2024 Single Cask Denmark 18 year old Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky 53,6%

Item no.: 059763-615-218-1

Eighteen years is a long time, even for a whisky. In a refill sherry cask, this Arran has been allowed to mature at its own pace, without the sherry wood's power ever becoming overwhelming.
Another single cask, selected for Denmark, this time with a more restrained but equally deep sherry character.
Expert Description
Arran 2006/2024 Single Cask Denmark 18 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill Oloroso hogshead and bottled at 53.6%.
Because the cask had already given up most of its initial power to an earlier fill, it draws more gently on the whisky this time — the result is a subtler, but still clear, sherry character layered over Arran's own fruit sweetness. Distilled in April 2006 and bottled in July 2024 after 18 years in wood, the whisky is bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 244 bottles exist, all reserved for Denmark.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sultana raisin, spiced cake and dark chocolate, tied together by a gentle sweetness from the cask.
Palate
Deep and beguiling with ripe plum, caramelised sugar and a fine spiced warmth.
Finish
Medium in length, soft and lightly dry, closing on a final trace of oak.

Did You Know?
A "refill" cask has already given up most of its colour and spice to an earlier whisky – which is why the distillery's maturation team typically lets refill casks rest longer, as with this 18-year-old, to reach the same depth as a younger first-fill cask.

Arran 2015/2024 Single Cask Denmark 9 year old Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky 60,2%

Item no.: 0597555-9964

On Arran's wild west coast, where the Atlantic hits the cliffs below Lochranza, sits one of Scotland's youngest distilleries with a reputation growing faster than most.
This bottling comes from a single cask, hand-picked and bottled exclusively for the Danish market.
Expert Description
Arran 2015/2024 Single Cask Denmark 9 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill Oloroso hogshead and bottled at 60.2%.
The cask is a 1st fill Oloroso hogshead, meaning the sherry wood had never held whisky before this fill, so the full force of the Spanish oak goes straight into the spirit. Distilled in April 2015 and bottled in July 2024 after nine years of maturation, the whisky is bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 326 bottles came from this single cask, and the entire batch is reserved for Denmark.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh citrus peel and spiced ginger meet a gentle sweetness of vanilla and ripe apricot, while the sherry cask lays a deep, dark base underneath it all.
Palate
Rich and layered with dried fig and raisin, a soft caramel sweetness from the Oloroso wood, and a warm, spiced edge that carries through from first sip to last.
Finish
Long and warming, closing on a final trace of dark chocolate and oak that softens slowly.

Arran 2015/2025 Single Cask Denmark 9 yr 50 ppm 1st Bourbon Single Malt Whisky 59,6%

Item no.: 0597557-7445

Not every Arran bottling is light and sweet. This one runs the other way — dark, peaty, and richer than most people expect from this distillery.
A single bourbon cask, hand-selected for Denmark, with 50 ppm of peat smoke taking the lead role.
Expert Description
Arran 2015/2025 Single Cask Denmark 9 Year Old 50 ppm is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill bourbon barrel and bottled at 59.6%.
Arran usually distills a lightly peated or unpeated malt, but this single cask is made from barley peated to a full 50 ppm — double the level of the distillery's standard Machrie Moor. Distilled in October 2015, the whisky spent nine years in a single 1st fill bourbon barrel before being bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 246 bottles exist from this cask, all reserved for the Danish market.
Ulrik Bertelsen from Whisky.dk has tasted it and calls it one of the finest peated releases he has met from Arran — a dram where raw power and aromatic depth meet in fine balance.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich peat smoke with hints of bonfire and a touch of iodine, but also an underlying sweetness of vanilla and ripe pear that keeps the nose inviting rather than harsh.
Palate
Softer than expected — baked apple and tropical fruit reach the palate first, before the peat smoke rolls in like a warm wave, carried by the bourbon cask's creamy texture.
Finish
Long and warming with grilled citrus, white pepper and a dry trace of oak that lingers well after the last sip.

Arran Gold Cream Liqueur with Single Island Malt Whisky 17%

Item no.: 22227865459-233

Cream and whisky sounds like a shortcut, but it is not when the whisky is actually good. Arran makes its own single malt at Lochranza and uses that rather than anonymous spirit, and you can taste it.
The Expert's Description
Arran Gold is a cream liqueur made with Single Island Malt Whisky from Arran, bottled at 17%. It is therefore not whisky but a cream-based liqueur in which the distillery’s own malt whisky forms the spirit component.
The difference from an ordinary cream liqueur lies precisely there. Most use neutral spirit or an anonymous blend, while Arran uses malt whisky from its own distillery. That gives a cereal sweetness and a light malt character beneath the toffee and chocolate which would otherwise disappear.
Arran Gold was named World’s Best Whisky Liqueur at Whisky Magazine’s World Whisky Awards in 2007. The distillery sits at Lochranza at the northern end of the Isle of Arran and was founded in 1995.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Toffee and milk chocolate first, with cocoa and a clear cream note. Beneath the sweetness sits a malty cereal note from the whisky, which makes the nose less one-dimensionally sweet than an ordinary cream liqueur.
Palate
Full and creamy. Caramel, chocolate and vanilla open, then the malt whisky comes through with a light cereal sweetness and a hint of oak. At 17% it is soft and easy to drink, but not thin.
Finish
Medium and creamy, with cocoa and a final malt note lingering after the sweetness.

Did You Know?
The Arran distillery at Lochranza was founded in 1995 and was the first legal distillery on the island in over a century and a half. Arran otherwise had a long history of illicit distilling, since the island’s remote bays were well suited to keeping the excise at arm’s length. Today the family also runs a second distillery, Lagg, at the southern end of the island.

Arran Machrie Moor 10 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Whisky made from lightly peated malt and bottled at 46%.

Arran Machrie Moor is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky made from lightly peated malt and bottled at 56.2%.
Since 2004, Arran has distilled a small amount of malt peated to around 20 ppm every year — a medium smoke level that offers more than just bonfire and tar. Machrie Moor has become a permanent part of Arran's range, bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour, put together by the distillery's manager James MacTaggart.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke and ash meet an underlying sweetness and a lightly salted coastal aroma.
Palate
Smoky yet balanced, with Arran's classic citrus note shining through.
Finish
Medium length with lingering smoke and a dry, spiced close.

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

Item no.: 22227865466-18270

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

A Quarter Cask typically holds only around 100 litres, compared to a standard hogshead's 250 — the much larger surface area relative to volume is why maturation moves faster and hits harder.

Arran Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279945

Where the single malt edition honours the poet alone, this blend takes it a step further, combining Arran's own malt with select drops from other Scottish distilleries.
A blended whisky created as a tribute to Scotland's greatest poet, Robert Burns.
Expert Description
Arran Robert Burns is a Blended Scotch Whisky built on a foundation of single malt from the Lochranza distillery, bottled at 40%.
Combined with a few specially selected whiskies from other distilleries, Arran creates a high-quality blend meant as a broad, accessible tribute to Robert Burns's legacy, rather than a single-distillery deep dive.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Light and inviting with a trace of sweetness.
Palate
Dry, light and soft with notes of sweet apple and liquorice.

Another angle on Arran's popular series finished in used wine casks.
Expert Description
Arran Sauternes Cask Finish is a Single Islands Malt Whisky finished in Sauternes wine casks and bottled at 50%.
The casks are sourced from one of the French region's finest producers and bring a sweetness to the whisky rarely found in Scotch. The sweetness from the noble sweet white wine layers over Arran's own citrus character, creating a dessert-friendly profile.

Arran The Bodega Sherry Cask Single Island Malt Whisky 55.8%

Item no.: 22227865466-20049

The name refers to the Spanish bodega where the sherry casks live before they travel to Arran and are filled with new whisky.
Seven years in a 250-litre sherry hogshead gives this release a surprising depth for its age.
Expert Description
Arran The Bodega Sherry Cask is a Single Islands Malt Whisky matured in a 250-litre sherry hogshead for a minimum of 7 years, bottled at 55.8%.
The cask size gives more contact between whisky and wood than a standard cask, speeding up maturation and explaining why a relatively young whisky like this one still achieves a clear sherry character. The whisky is bottled non-chill filtered and with natural colour.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Clear sherry character with dried fruit and a light nutty tone.
Palate
Rich and spiced, carried by the sherry cask's power.

Auchroisk 16 years old Deerstalker Limited Release Single Speyside Malt Whisky 48%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278540

Sixteen years in a single bourbon hogshead is a long, quiet exercise. Nothing dramatic happens along the way. The cask works slowly, and the result is a whisky where time has been spent rather than technique applied.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 16 Years Old Deerstalker Limited Release is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead and bottled at 48%. Cask 16377 gave 318 bottles in Deerstalker’s range of single cask releases.
A hogshead holds around 250 litres and therefore sits between a bourbon barrel and a sherry butt. The wood contact per litre is great enough to give clear cask character over sixteen years, but not so great that the whisky turns overly woody.
Auchroisk was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend, and official bottlings exist essentially only in Diageo’s Flora & Fauna range. Single casks like this one are therefore the main route to meeting the distillery at a higher strength.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Creamy and sweet, with vanilla and ripe pear first. Toasted nuts and a lightly spiced oak note sit behind, along with a fine honeyed sweetness that sixteen years have drawn out.
Palate
Creamy sweetness from the first sip, followed by a lightly oily, spiced flavour. There is vanilla, apple and a dry nutty note, and at 48% the body is good without the whisky turning heavy.
Finish
Long and spiced. Oak, honey and a dry close where the nuts linger longest.

Auchroisk 2009/2021 Blackadder Raw Cask 11 years Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 56,3%

Item no.: 059763-615-31

If you see small dark flakes at the bottom of the bottle, they are there on purpose. Blackadder does not filter Raw Cask at all, not even for the wood residue from the cask.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 2009/2021 Blackadder Raw Cask 11 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky from a single cask, bottled at cask strength, 56.3%. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and it has not been filtered for cask residue either.
Raw Cask is Blackadder’s most uncompromising range. The whisky goes straight from the cask into the bottle, and the char and wood residue that come with it stay put. That gives extra depth of flavour and a visible sediment in the bottle.
Auchroisk was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend. The bright, citrus-driven style is allowed to stand at full strength here, where the concentration brings out both fruit and oak.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Powerful and concentrated. Vanilla, apple and a clear oak note first, then honey, citrus and a dry, lightly resinous note from the cask residue.
Palate
Full and intense. Vanilla and honey open, then spiced oak, citrus and black pepper arrive. At 56.3% there is real strength, and the whisky changes markedly with a few drops of water.
Finish
Long and dry. Oak, spice and a lightly bitter wood note that holds on for a long time.

Auchroisk 2012/2024 Lady of the Glen 11 years old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59.2%

Item no.: 059763-615-1064

Rivesaltes is a southern French fortified wine from Roussillon that few people know and even fewer have seen in a whisky cask. That is exactly the kind of find Lady of the Glen has made their signature.
The Expert's Description
Auchroisk 2012/2024 Lady of the Glen 11 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky finished in a Rivesaltes cask and bottled at cask strength, 59.2%. Cask no. 802860 gave 283 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Rivesaltes is made in Roussillon by adding alcohol during fermentation so that some of the grape sugar remains. That type of cask gives raisins, walnut and a dry oxidised note that sits closer to an old sherry than to ordinary red wine.
At 59.2% there is strength enough to carry both the finish and the spirit’s own fruit. Auchroisk was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend, and the lightness of the spirit leaves room for the fortified wine cask’s character.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Raisins and dried apricot first, with a clear walnut note. Vanilla and apple from the base maturation sit beneath, and there is a dry, lightly oxidised note from the wine cask.
Palate
Powerful and concentrated. Dried fruit and walnut open, then spiced oak, a dry wine note and black pepper arrive. At 59.2% there is real strength, and the whisky takes water well.
Finish
Long and dry. Raisins, nuts and spiced oak that hold on and leave a lightly bitter edge.

Aultmore 2007/2024 Signatory Vintage 17 years old Exceptional Cask 100 Proof Edition #1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57.1%

Item no.: 059763-615-940

100 proof is British measurement from the days when alcohol was tested by pouring in gunpowder and seeing whether it would still ignite. The threshold sat at 57.1%, and that figure is still a marker.
The Expert's Description
Aultmore 17 Years Old Signatory 100 Proof Exceptional Cask Edition #1 is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask and bottled at 57.1%. It is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Signatory’s 100 Proof range is deliberately bottled at exactly 57.1%, the historic British proof point. It is not cask strength but a fixed, high strength, and the house selects casks whose profile can carry it.
Aultmore’s fresh, grassy Speyside style has been laid into an active sherry cask here, which gives a markedly different expression from the bourbon matured bottlings. The distillery was built in 1896, and almost all production otherwise goes into Dewar’s White Label.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark and sweet. Raisins, orange peel and walnut first, then dark chocolate and a dry spiced oak note. The alcohol is evident but carried by the sherry.
Palate
Powerful and full. Dried fruit and sherry sweetness open, then nuts, cinnamon and black pepper arrive. At 57.1% there is real weight, and Aultmore’s freshness peeks through beneath the sherry.
Finish
Long and dry. Dark fruit, nuts and spiced oak that hold on for a long time.

The term proof comes from a British method of testing spirits: it was mixed with gunpowder and an attempt made to ignite the mixture. If it burned, the spirit was proved. The threshold corresponds to 57.1% alcohol, and that figure is still used as a deliberate choice of bottling strength.

Aultmore 2008/2022 Mossburn 14 years old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whiskey 70 cl 52.6%

Item no.: 059763-615-130

Aultmore is one of those distilleries you rarely see on a label. Almost everything goes into Dewar’s White Label, and the casks that do escape typically end up with independent bottlers like this one.
The Expert's Description
Aultmore 2008/2022 Mossburn 14 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for fourteen years in an Oloroso sherry hogshead and bottled at 52.6%. The cask gave 328 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
A hogshead holds around 250 litres, and when it has been filled with Oloroso it gives dried fruit, nuts and spice. Fourteen years is enough for the cask to lay on a clear layer, but not so long that the spirit disappears.
Aultmore’s fresh, grassy style provides good counterweight to the sherry. The distillery was built in 1896 by Alexander Edward, and since John Dewar & Sons bought it in 1923, by far the greater part of production has gone into their blends.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sherry and fruit in balance. Raisins and orange peel first, then walnut, honey and a fresh apple note from the spirit. A dry spiced oak note sits at the bottom.
Palate
Full and spiced. Dried fruit and sherry sweetness open, then nuts, cinnamon and black pepper arrive. At 52.6% there is good weight, and Aultmore’s freshness keeps the whisky from turning heavy.
Finish
Long and dry. Dark fruit, nuts and spiced oak that let go slowly.

Balvenie 14 years old The Week of Peat Speyside Malt Whisky 48,3%

Item no.: 22227865428-2031

One week a year Balvenie changes track. The peat comes in, the malting floors smell like nothing else all season, and the distillery makes a whisky it otherwise does not make. The rest of the year it waits in cask.
The expert's description
Balvenie 14 The Week of Peat is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in American oak casks and bottled at 48.3 %.
Each year the distillery sets aside roughly a week to run peated malt through production. The smoke comes from Scottish peat, and the malt sits at around 30 ppm phenols, which is striking for Speyside but mild next to the heaviest Islay bottlings. The whisky from that week is matured separately and released on its own.
Fourteen years in American oak lets the smoke settle down. It turns softer, more integrated, and lies as a layer beneath the familiar Balvenie honey sweetness rather than sitting on top of it. The release belongs to The Balvenie Stories series.
Tasting notes
Nose
Soft peat smoke, flower honey and vanilla. Behind it sits buttery cake and a hint of sweet malt.
Palate
Round and balanced with light smoke, citrus, spice and sweet malt. The smoke lies underneath rather than leading the way.
Finish
Long and warm with a spiced close and a last, dry note of smoke.

Instead, he and his team sought out extraordinary casks from more than 65 different producers around the world, which are then brought back to Kentucky for careful maturation and blending. The approach is inspired by Scotland's long tradition of independent bottlers and has changed the perception of what 'blending' can mean in American whiskey.

Ben Nevis 2011/2023 Hepburns Choice 11 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-927

A sherry butt holds around five hundred litres, twice what an ordinary cask carries. That means less wood surface per drop and a slower, more measured maturation. Eleven years does not sound like much, but in a butt they count differently.
The expert's description
Ben Nevis 2011/2023 Hepburn's Choice 11 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at 46 % without chill filtration and without added colour.
The cask was filled in 2011 and drawn in 2023, yielding 880 bottles. That is a high outturn, but it follows from a cask of that size, and it also means the bottling actually reached an audience rather than vanishing within a week.
Hepburn's Choice is a range from Hunter Laing, the family firm behind Ardnahoe on Islay among others. The range consists purely of single casks bottled at 46 % without filtration or colouring, and it is intended as the honest working series of the house rather than as prestige releases.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried fig, walnut and a dry sherry note. Behind it sit malt and a suggestion of orange peel.
Palate
Full and dry with raisin, cocoa and spiced oak. The Ben Nevis weight keeps the sherry in check rather than giving way to it.
Finish
Long and dry with nut, dark chocolate and a warm note of spice.

Investment potential
Medium. The bottling comes from one cask and cannot be remade, but the 880 bottles make it less scarce than most single casks. The Hunter Laing ranges hold a steady position among collectors of independent bottlings.
