Expert description
Breath of The Highlands 2009/2022 is a Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2022 after 12 years of maturation, selected by Adelphi Selection. The Adelphi distillery was founded in 1826 on the banks of the Clyde on the outskirts of Glasgow, but closed in the early 1900s.

The company today also owns its own distillery, Ardnamurchan, the westernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland.

Brenne Ten Organic French Single Malt Whisky 48%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19728033554

A former ballerina left the stage to prove that French terroir could be captured in a single malt.
Expert description
Brenne Ten Organic French Single Malt Whisky is a French single malt whisky, bottled at 48%, distilled in the Cognac region. Brenne was founded by American whisky entrepreneur Allison Parc, a former ballerina, who started the brand with her own savings and a dream of proving that terroir — the landscape's imprint on flavour — could be achieved in whisky, just as in wine. The whisky is distilled from 100% malted barley grown in the region, on classic copper alembic Charentais stills, the same type used for Cognac production, in partnership with a third-generation Cognac house whose farm has distilled eau de vie since the 1920s. Brenne was the world's first single malt whisky matured exclusively in French Limousin oak and used Cognac casks. The first expression debuted in New York in 2012, with Parc personally distributing bottles by bicycle to stores and bars — the batch sold out within two months.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers tropical fruit, vanilla and a hint of florals.
Palate
The palate is round with apricot, honey and light spice.
Finish

Eight farms, one island, one whisky. Islay Barley 2012 brings together grain from across the west and centre of Islay in a single unpeated malt, letting eight years give the grain's own character room to unfold.
Expert description
Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 8 years and bottled at 50%.
The barley comes from eight different farms across the west and centre of Islay, combined into a single unpeated release. The whisky is matured in a combination of American whiskey casks and French wine casks, together giving a full yet still fresh character.
Distilled in 2012 and matured for eight years, it shows how Bruichladdich lets barley from several farms meet in the same bottle without losing its local, earthy identity.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh barley and apple juice, with a sweet vanilla note from the bourbon casks and a hint of grape from the wine casks.

Another vintage, same philosophy. Islay Barley 2013 continues Bruichladdich's work of combining grain from several Islay farms into one unpeated bottle, this time with a year more behind it than the 2012 release.
Expert description
Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2013 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 8 years and bottled at 50%.

Bruichladdich The Organic 2011 Mid Coul Farms Dalcross Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 059763-615-237

In the fields around Dalcross, north of Inverness, the Rose family has farmed the land since 1913. The Organic is Bruichladdich's love letter to their organic barley, distilled unpeated and built entirely around fruit, honey and blossom.
Expert description
The Organic 2011 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured in first-fill bourbon casks and bottled at 50%.
The Rose family has run Mid Coul Farm in the north of Scotland since 1913, and their organic Publican barley is still grown on principles that build on earlier generations' farming, without artificial fertiliser or pesticides. Bruichladdich uses this barley to show that organic growing can produce a whisky with a character entirely its own.
The whisky was distilled in 2011 and matured for 11 years on cask, unpeated throughout. The result is a light, fruit-forward single malt in which the grain and the wood are left to speak undisturbed.
Tasting notes
Nose
Creamy caramel and cantaloupe melon meet ripe stone fruit and lemon zest, followed by toasted oak, orange blossom, honey and malted barley sugar, spiced with honeysuckle, rose and geranium.
Palate
Barley sugar sweetness carried on a full texture opens into honeyed citrus, toasted oak, vanilla fudge and ripe pear, while a fresh, salty sea breeze mingles with vanilla and cedar from the cask.
Finish
Soft and lightly tangy, with a finish of honey, toasted oak and a trace of sweet barley that lingers for a long time.

Bunnahabhain Sherried Smoke Coopers Choice Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22278655-8887

Burnside 14 year old Woodrows of Edinburgh Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 52%

Item no.: 222233-8554

Sometimes the label says less than it could. Burnside is one of those names used when a distillery does not want its real name on the bottle — but the character in the glass is unmistakable.
Please note: Burnside is the designation for so-called teaspooned Balvenie. It means a cask from the Balvenie distillery has had a minimal amount of spirit from another distillery added, typically Glenfiddich. This is done to prevent the whisky being marketed as an official Balvenie single malt, but it still clearly carries Balvenie's character.
Expert description
Burnside 14 Years Woodrow's of Edinburgh is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky from Single Cask #900019, bottled at cask strength, 52%, without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled on 27 April 2011, and the cask gave 330 bottles. Woodrow's of Edinburgh is an independent bottler based in Leith that buys and matures casks in its own bonded warehouse and bottles in small batches or as single casks.
The house philosophy is about bringing out the personality of the individual cask rather than smoothing it away. Natural colour, no filtration and cask strength are standard, and that makes the bottlings considerably more direct than most official releases.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey and malted grain with baked apple, vanilla and a trace of flower honey.
Palate
Full and sweet with honey cake, dried fruit and pale oak. The strength brings warmth without shouting.
Finish
Long and dry with grain, spice and a lightly bitter oak note.

Medium. A single cask of 330 bottles from a smaller bottler, and teaspooned names like Burnside have a steady following among collectors of Speyside malt.
Did you know?
The practice of teaspooning arose because distilleries wanted to sell casks without losing control of their own trademark. A single spoonful from another distillery legally turns the whisky into a blended malt.

Cameronbridge 2007/2023 Coopers Choice 15 years old Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 56%

Item no.: 059763-615-594

Amontillado is the dry sherry that has been allowed to oxidise. It does not bring sweetness but nuts, salt and a dry edge — an interesting counterweight to the natural softness of grain whisky.
Expert description
Cameronbridge 2007/2023 Coopers Choice 15 Years is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in American Oak and Amontillado Sherry Casks #462894, bottled at cask strength, 56%, without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled in November 2007 and bottled in 2023 in a run of 306 bottles. The Coopers Choice is The Vintage Malt Whisky Company's series for single casks, often with unusual cask combinations.
Fifteen years is young for grain, but the high bottling strength and the amontillado cask give the whisky more edge than the soft thirty year olds have. It is a different kind of grain experience: drier, spicier and less creamy.
Tasting notes
Nose
Toasted almonds and dried apple with pale caramel, salt and a trace of orange peel.
Palate
Dry and spiced with nuts, grain and a fine bitterness from the sherry cask. The 56% gives good concentration.
Finish
Long and dry with almond, oak and a lightly salted close.

Amontillado begins as fino under a veil of yeast and continues as oxidative ageing once the veil dies. The sherry therefore carries both a fresh and a nutty character, and that transfers to the casks.

Caol Ila 12 year 1 litre OLD VERSION 1 Single Islay Malt Whisky 43%

Item no.: 2265462-555

The yellow banderole. The older design. A litre of Caol Ila 12 Years from the time before the redesign settled in. For those who remember the original bottle shape – and for those who simply want more Caol Ila per bottle than the standard 70 cl.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 12 Years Old Version (1 litre) is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled by Diageo at 43% in an older bottle design with a yellow banderole.
Caol Ila 12 Years is the distillery's flagship and the backbone of many blended whiskies – including Johnnie Walker. The official 12 Years is bottled at 43% and gives an accessible, fresh and maritimely peated introduction to the distillery's character.
This 1-litre version in the older design is now discontinued – replaced by the modernised design. The contents are unchanged: classic Caol Ila with light, fresh peat smoke, fruity sweetness and maritime saltiness.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh and clean. Citrus, seaweed and light peat smoke that is more Islay-nudge than decisively heavy. A touch of sweetness and a little fresh oak.
Palate
Light and fruity. Lemon, green apples and vanilla with Caol Ila's characteristic fresh and maritime smoke. A whisky that is more drinkable than its peated origins might suggest.
Finish
Relatively short and fresh. Smoke and citrus with a light, salty trace.

Caol Ila 12 year 1 litre OLD VERSION Black Box Single Islay Malt Whisky 43%

Item no.: 22227865462-54

The sound between Islay and Jura lies like a ribbon of cold grey water, and right there – facing the current – stands Caol Ila looking across towards Jura's peaks. This is where the smoke comes from: not the heavy, tarry south-island smoke, but something lighter, saltier, more maritime. This bottle is an older release from the 1990s: one litre with a yellow banderole.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 12 Years 1 litre OLD VERSION is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43% – a rare older version in a litre bottle with a yellow banderole from the 1990s.
Caol Ila has produced a 12-year expression under changing owners since the 1970s, and the litre format was for many years part of the classic duty and export bottlings. This version with the yellow banderole is discontinued and carries a design from an era nothing like the current Caol Ila bottle.
The distillery sits at Port Askaig on Islay's north-east coast. It was demolished and rebuilt from scratch in 1972, with production resuming in 1974. Malt comes from Port Ellen Maltings at around 30-35 ppm. Maturation is primarily in refill ex-bourbon casks, giving the light colour and clean, fresh character.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh and maritime. Lemon peel and green apple first, then a breath of soft peat smoke, seaweed and a hint of almond oil. Freshly cut grass and a faint sweetness in the background.
Palate
Good oily texture. Elegant smoke, tar and boiled sweets with citrus zest and a salted, briny edge. Pepper and a lightly medicinal note recalling Islay's heritage.
Finish
Long and peppery. The smoke becomes more ashy towards the end, with lemon, lime and a soft sweetness settling in.

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278508

Nine years is enough time to let peat smoke settle in. Hepburns Choice matured this Caol Ila in bourbon casks and finished it in a sherry butt – the classic double maturation, a reminder that it is the combination of time and wood that shapes a whisky.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 2010/2020 Hepburns Choice 9 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks with a sherry butt finish, bottled at 46% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 797 bottles.
Hepburns Choice is a series from Langside Distillers – a Scottish independent bottler specialising in single-cask bottlings from a wide range of distilleries. The series is named after the Scottish whisky enthusiast and writer Hepburn.
The bourbon cask provided the structural base – vanilla and fresh fruit – and the sherry butt added the winey layer on top: raisins, honey and spice. Caol Ila's smoke binds it all together.
Tasting notes
Nose
A soft opening with bourbon sweetness and light sherry fruit, behind which Caol Ila's salty smoke and seaweed wait. Raisins and a hint of cloves.
Palate
Soft and balanced. Bourbon vanilla and sherry fruit meet peat smoke and a touch of salt. Good body and light preserved-fruit notes from the finish.

Medium-length with persistent smoke and a sweet sherry close that slowly fades.

Item no.: 222355-9005

Bottled on 12 February 2026 – almost to the day fourteen years after distillation in April 2012. Little Brown Dog chose a refill butt for this batch: the largest standard cask, previously used, working slowly and leaving its subtle signature on the distillate.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 2012/2026 Little Brown Dog Spirits 13 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single refill butt cask, bottled at 55.7% without chill filtration and with natural colour.
Little Brown Dog is a British independent bottler with a single-cask focus. For this batch they chose a refill butt – a 500-litre cask that has already matured whisky and retained a discreet, oxidised wood influence. That is where the 'wonderfully oxidised' character described by tasters comes from.
The result is a whisky with classic Caol Ila freshness and salty maritime peat smoke, wrapped in a lightly oxidised, nutty-complex structure. Wax candle, driftwood bonfire and sea urchin are tasting descriptions that reflect a product of precise, controlled craft.
Tasting notes
Nose
Wax candle and a driftwood bonfire on the beach – fresh and light with clear Islay smoke. Toasted grain, a touch of seaweed and a soft, oxidised depth.
Palate
Toasted almonds and sea urchin – umami-rich and salty with smoke and a 'dirty martini' oily character. Complex but harmonious and easy to drink.
Finish
Fresh and lively: gorse, clear saltiness and maritime peat smoke that stays light and elegant throughout.

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278432

Most people associate Caol Ila with bourbon or sherry. Lady of the Glen chose an ex-white wine cask – and it turns out Islay smoke handles itself surprisingly well alongside the light, fresh wine residue. 307 bottles from cask no. 311196.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 2012/2021 Lady of the Glen 9 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single ex-white wine cask (no. 311196), bottled at cask strength 58.3% without chill filtration and with natural colour.
Lady of the Glen is an Edinburgh-based independent bottler founded by Gregor Hannah. The philosophy is single cask, cask strength and no compromises. White wine casks are unusual in whisky – lighter and fresher than sherry casks, they add a delicate fruitiness rather than vinous weight.
Nine years in a white wine cask from 2012 gives a Caol Ila that keeps its maritime smoke but adds an unexpected freshness and fruitiness. 307 bottles is all that exists.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh and surprising – light citrus fruit and white flowers meet Caol Ila's salty smoke. A clear contrast between the heavy distillate and the light cask.
Palate
Smoke and freshness in balance. Citrus, fresh pear and maritime notes with good body. The white wine cask gives unexpected lightness without removing Caol Ila's signature.
Finish

Caol Ila 2013/2025 Lady of the Glen 11 year old Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 56,6%

Item no.: 2222-888742

Cask 319952 leaked. Lady of the Glen discovered that when they opened the bonded warehouse in 2025 – this refill hogshead with Caol Ila from 2013 had lost a significant portion of its content to the Scottish angels. What remained was 123 bottles and the concentrated essence of eleven Islay years.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 2013/2025 Lady of the Glen 11 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single cask – refill hogshead (cask no. 319952) – bottled at 56.6% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 123 bottles.
Lady of the Glen is a Scottish independent bottler focusing on single-cask bottlings from carefully selected casks. The philosophy is simple: selection, not production. Each cask is assessed on its own merits, which is reflected in the small number of bottles per bottling.
A leaking cask is not a mistake – it is geology. The wood breathes, the surroundings pull, and the angels' share is never precisely predictable. The 123 remaining bottles are what it took eleven years and a particular piece of Islay air to produce.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh peat smoke and seaweed, behind which a soft vanilla and citrus from the refill cask. A hint of green apple and toasted oak.
Palate
Oily and full. Salted caramel, lemon and smoke in good harmony. The distillate's power at 56.6% gives body and depth – a drop of water opens it further.
Finish
Long and persistent – ash, freshly ground pepper and citrus peel that slowly fade to a lightly salted close.

Did you know?
The angels' share – what evaporates through the cask's pores – typically amounts to 2-4% of the cask's contents per year in Scotland. Over eleven years, a leaking cask can lose far more. Cask 319952 was one such – and the 123 bottles are the result.

Caol Ila 2014/2022 Murray McDavid 8 years old Isle of Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0092

Pauillac is Bordeaux at its finest – Lafite, Mouton, Latour. When casks from one of the world's most celebrated wine regions meet Caol Ila's Islay smoke, something unexpected happens: the powerful wine residue in the wood gives a peaty and fruity note rarely found at the distillery.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 2014/2022 Murray McDavid 8 Years Benchmark Series is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Pauillac wine casks, bottled at 50% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 1,399 bottles.
Pauillac casks come from the Pauillac wine district in Bordeaux – home to Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour. The casks are laden with red Bordeaux wine and add tannin-rich, fruity and slightly earthy notes to spirits that have rested in them.
Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series puts the distillate's character at the centre and finds casks that lift it without overpowering it. Eight years and 50% in Pauillac casks give a Caol Ila with an unexpected winey depth.
Tasting notes
Nose
Smoke and dark fruit – blueberry and cherry from the wine cask, with Caol Ila's salty maritime smoke in the background. A hint of earth and tannins.
Palate
Smoke and wine sweetness in good balance. Dark berry fruit, salt and a touch of Bordeaux tannins. Good body at 50%.
Finish
Peat and fruit alternate in a medium-length finish with a light, dried fruit note at the end.

Caol Ila 9 Years Old Dram Mor Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55,2%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0235dmci

Dram Mor chose a French oak Oloroso hogshead for their Caol Ila – and that is not obvious. Scotch whisky is traditionally matured in American oak. French oak is denser, more spiced and contributes differently to the aroma profile than its American counterpart.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 9 Years Dram Mor is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in a French oak Oloroso hogshead, bottled at 55.2%. 288 bottles.
Dram Mor is an independent bottler specialising in single-cask bottlings with a focus on unusual cask combinations. The name is Gaelic for 'big dram'. French oak's denser structure gives more spice – cinnamon, cloves and a spicy dryness – combined with Oloroso sherry's fruitiness.
The existing tasting panel describes the whisky as 'sublime' with salted caramel, cigar smoke and stone fruits on the nose, and a massive, long-lasting finish. 288 bottles were bottled.
Tasting notes
Nose
Salted caramel and cigar smoke from the French oak meet Caol Ila's peat smoke and stone fruit. A complex and fascinating combination.
Palate
Intense and layered. Salted caramel, Oloroso sweetness and a depth of smoke and spice from the French oak. For those who want everything at once.
Finish
Massive and persistent. Smoke, fruit sweetness and spices hold without weakening for a long time – the kind of finish that rewards patience.

Chicken Cock The Famous Old Brand 90 Proof American Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 45%

Item no.: 22227865395-8970-005

A bourbon smuggled in cans during Prohibition, revived 168 years after its birth in Kentucky.
Expert description
Chicken Cock The Famous Old Brand 90 Proof is an American Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 45%. Chicken Cock was founded in 1856 by James A. Miller in Paris, Kentucky, and was one of America's oldest bourbon brands until it closed after Prohibition. During Prohibition, the whiskey became a fixture in speakeasies, including the famous Cotton Club in Harlem, where it was often smuggled in tin cans to avoid detection — earning it the nickname 'The Famous Old Brand'. The label lay dormant until spirits entrepreneur Matti Anttila revived it in 2011 using original bottles and promotional materials. Since 2018, the whiskey has been produced at Bardstown Bourbon Company through a collaborative distillation program.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers caramel, vanilla and a hint of toasted nuts.
Palate
The palate is round with brown sugar, spice and oak.
Finish
The finish is medium to long, warm and spicy.

Clynelish 2014/2026 Carn Mor 11 Year Old Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 52.4%

Item no.: 22206-19728

Eleven years is not much for a Clynelish. But if the cask is quiet enough, the wax comes through anyway — and you get the distillery almost in raw form.
Expert description
Clynelish 2014/2026 Càrn Mòr 11 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon wood and bottled at cask strength of 52.4%.
The release belongs to the Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited range from Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, run by brothers Brian and Jamie Morrison. The range consists solely of single batch and single cask bottlings, and once a release is gone it never returns. This one gave 264 bottles. The cask was chosen to let the distillery stand forward rather than sit on top of it — a young, energetic Clynelish with no cask make-up.
Tasting notes
Nose
Lemon oil, wax and ripe pears first. Behind them sit a light floral note and a cool mineral edge.
Palate
Creamy and lively. Citrus, honey, malt and wax, with a mild saline note and a touch of tropical fruit. The cask strength brings energy rather than sharpness.
Finish
Medium with dry mineral nuances, sweet malt and a clean, fresh close.

Item no.: 22227865449-18206

Spirit from Cotswolds' very earliest years, singled out by the sharp-eyed independent bottler That Boutique-Y and captured on bottle while the whisky was still young and full of promise.
Expert's Description
Cotswolds 2018 That Boutique-Y Whisky Company is a 3 year old single malt English whisky bottled at 50.4% ABV.
The whisky was distilled at England's Cotswolds Distillery, but selected, further matured and bottled by the independent bottler That Boutique-Y Whisky Company. It is the bottler's very first batch from Cotswolds Distillery, distilled in 2018 and bottled in November that same year as Batch 1, in a run of 1,783 bottles. The malt is 100% locally grown Cotswolds barley.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Caramelised almonds, sweet pineapple and cherries, with a soft hint of vanilla underneath.
Palate
Citrus-driven, with notes of lemon, orange and grapefruit that give a fresh, sweet character.
Finish
Short to medium, with a lingering citrus freshness and a hint of youthful malt sweetness.

Cotswolds 2022 Rum Cask Matured Blended Single Malt English Whisky 70 cl 55,6%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0144

A detour through the Caribbean before the whisky lands back in the English countryside: cane sugar and ripe pears, wrapped in a robust 55.6%.
Expert's Description
Cotswolds 2022 Rum Cask Matured is a blended single malt English whisky matured in rum-seasoned casks and bottled at 55.6% ABV.
The whisky is the third release in Cotswolds Distillery's Hearts & Crafts series, which celebrates the craftsmanship tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement that flourished in the Cotswolds. The spirit is matured in rejuvenated French oak casks that previously held red wine and were subsequently seasoned with fine Caribbean rum, before being bottled in 2022 in a run of 3,000 bottles.
The tube is decorated with an exclusive William Morris-inspired design, a visual tribute to the series.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft cane sugar, ripe pears and a hint of tropical fruit, underpinned by warm oak.
Palate
A sweet rum character with brown sugar, banana and a touch of spice that gives the whisky body.
Finish
Long and warming, with a lingering sweetness from the rum casks and a gently spiced close.

Cragganmore 12 year old 1 litre OLD VERSION single speyside malt whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865428-20

An old warehouse in Ballindalloch, steam from short flat-topped pot stills and water from the Craggan Burn. This is Speyside as it was once bottled — in the big litre bottle with the yellow band.
Expert description
Cragganmore 12 years Old Version is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 40% in a litre bottle.
The release dates from the 1990s, when Cragganmore was still sold in the discontinued litre measure with a yellow duty band — a design collectors know and look for. The distillery was founded in 1869 by John Smith, who sited it close to the Strathspey railway, locally known as The Whisky Line. Cragganmore still uses worm tub condensers, which almost nobody else does, and that is a large part of the reason for the heavy, complex house style.
Tasting notes
Nose
Sweet heather and meadow flowers first, then honey, vanilla and a dry nutty cereal note from the years in glass.
Palate
Soft and finely woven. Malt, honey, sandalwood and a touch of sweet wood smoke, carried by a lightly oily texture the modern bottlings do not quite reach.
Finish
Long and malty with sweet hints, dried herbs and a faint smoked warmth at the end.

Cragganmore was built where it was because John Smith wanted the railway close by. The Strathspey line was called The Whisky Line, and the distillery got its own siding — whisky out, barley and coal in, without touching the poor roads.

Craigellachie 2007/2022 The Old Malt Cask 15 years old Speyside Single Malt Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 505955-9963

Fifty percent, every time. Old Malt Cask has bottled at the same strength for decades, which makes distilleries easy to compare — and here it is Craigellachie in the firing line.
Expert description
Craigellachie 2007/2022 The Old Malt Cask 15 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at 50%.
The cask was filled in 2007 and emptied in 2022 by Hunter Laing & Co for the Old Malt Cask range, where every release goes into bottle at exactly 50%. Hunter Laing is the third generation of a Glasgow family that has traded whisky since the middle of the twentieth century. A sherry butt over fifteen years lays dried fruit and dark sweetness over Craigellachie's meaty, mineral core — two opposing forces that suit each other.
Tasting notes
Nose
Raisin, fig and orange peel first, then walnut, dark chocolate and a dry mineral note from the distillery.
Palate
Full and dry at the same time. Dried fruit, malt and cocoa meet the sulphurous flint edge, with spice and an oily texture carrying it all.
Finish
Long and dry, with nuts, dried fruit and a persistent spiced warmth.

Item no.: 222333-7564

Orange oil, cherry and blackberry jam. That does not sound like Craigellachie — until you notice the cask is a sherry butt, and that it has had twelve years to do its work.
Expert description
Craigellachie 2011/2023 Duncan Taylor 12 years Private Cask Bottling is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 52.4%.
The cask gave 667 bottles and belongs to Duncan Taylor's Private Cask line. The house is based at Huntly in Aberdeenshire and has since 1938 built one of the largest private stocks of Scotch whisky in the trade. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and makes a heavy, meaty spirit that needs an active sherry cask to find balance — here twelve years is enough to give colour and fruit without erasing the distillery.
Tasting notes
Nose
Intense and dark. Orange oil, juicy cherries, red grapes and blackberry jam, with dates, spiced cake, nutmeg and dark chocolate behind.
Palate
Full and rounded. Chocolate-coated raisins, fig syrup, rosehip jam and black cherries, joined by candied orange, malt, roasted coffee beans and cinnamon.
Finish
Long and intense, dominated by juicy oranges, honey, sherry and dried fruit with a touch of caramel and roasted notes.

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0164

Sixty-seven point four percent. Not many whiskies come out of the cask carrying numbers like that — and fewer still can hold them without burning.
Expert description
Craigellachie 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an oloroso butt and bottled at cask strength of 67.4% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The cask carries the number 900694, was filled on 4 September 2012 and emptied on 12 January 2023. The outturn was 610 bottles. Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington and is among the most prolific independent bottlers in Scotland. Craigellachie makes a heavy, meaty spirit in worm tubs, and an oloroso butt over ten years lays dried fruit on top without being able to drown the minerality.
Tasting notes
Nose
Concentrated and dark. Raisin, fig and orange peel, with walnut, dark chocolate and a flinty note under the sherry.
Palate
Massive but not sharp. Dried fruit, cocoa and malt, with an oily texture carrying the alcohol. The sulphurous distillery edge cuts through the sweetness and gives direction.
Finish
Very long and dry, with nuts, dark fruit and a warm spiced close that keeps going.

Same distillation day, same distillery, bottled five weeks later — and an entirely different cask. Two neighbouring casks from 2012, one of which had held sherry before and one of which had not.
Expert description
Craigellachie 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a first fill oloroso butt and bottled at cask strength of 68.4% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The cask is numbered 900699, was filled on 4 September 2012 and emptied on 17 February 2023. It gave 529 bottles. First fill means it went straight from sherry to Scotch with nothing in between, which gives a far stronger cask influence than a refill. Signatory buys casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them under its own name.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dense and dark. Syrupy raisin, black cherry and orange marmalade, with cinnamon, dark cocoa and a dry nutty note.
Palate
Fiercely concentrated. Fig, date, chocolate and burnt sugar, with a peppery warmth and a dry sherry edge. The distillery's mineral core sits underneath and keeps the sweetness from running away.
Finish
Very long, dry and spiced, with dark fruit, oak and a slowly fading warmth.

Croftengea 10 year old Loch Lomond Heavily Peated Coopers Choice Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865413-8888

A refill cask from 2006 sat quietly maturing while the world outside changed. When it was finally tapped in 2016, it turned out to hold one of the most ash-laden, smoky expressions of Croftengea you can find.
Expert's Description
Croftengea 2006/2016 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill cask and bottled at 46%.
The whisky was distilled in 2006 under Loch Lomond's heavily peated Croftengea profile and rested in a single refill cask until being bottled in 2016 by independent bottler Cooper's Choice. Only 725 bottles were filled from this one cask.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich and heavy with plums, figs and dates – no smoke on the nose.
Palate
Smoke and ashy tobacco meet milk chocolate, smoked meat and oily malt, with a touch of pink peppercorn and sweet toffee.
Finish
Short but sweet finish that dries out with cracked peppercorns and a lingering hint of bonfire embers.

Croftengea 2016/2024 Loch Lomond Heavily Peated Coopers Choice Single Highland Malt Whisky 53%

Item no.: 2222777-8663

Croftengea is Loch Lomond's peated alter ego – the name the distillery uses when the smoke is allowed to run free. This release comes straight from a single cask and takes one last, colourful detour through a Jamaican rum barrel.
Expert's Description
Croftengea 2016/2024 Jamaican Rum Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak with a rum finish and bottled at 53%.
The whisky was distilled at Loch Lomond in 2016 under the distillery's heavily peated Croftengea profile and, after its time in American oak, was given a final finish in a Jamaican rum cask before being bottled in 2024 by the independent bottler Cooper's Choice. Cask strength and single-cask bottling mean no other bottle is quite like this one.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Heavy smoke and earthy peat meet sweet molasses and preserved tropical fruit from the rum cask.
Palate
Full and oily with burnt caramel, black pepper and a wave of cane sugar that ties the smoke together with the rum's sweetness.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with lingering spice and a hint of tar.

Dailuaine 1997/2018 Signatory 20 year old Single Speyside Malt 46%

Item no.: 22227865391-7256

Filled in May 1997, emptied in February 2018. Twenty years and nine months in a warehouse where nobody was in a hurry — and a distillery few people know by name.
Please note: Wear to the tube and rust on the cap.
Expert description
Dailuaine 1997/2018 Signatory 20 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogsheads and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The casks carry the numbers 7223 and 7224. Dailuaine sits at Carron in Speyside, was founded in 1852 and has throughout its history supplied malt for blends rather than for its own bottles. Signatory Vintage, founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, is among the bottlers who systematically bring distilleries like this forward — and with twenty years in bourbon wood, Dailuaine's heavy, malted core stands clearly.
Tasting notes
Nose
Malt and baked apple first, then honey, vanilla and a dry nutty note from the many years in cask.
Palate
Full and malty. Cereal, honey and candied citrus, with a layer of spice and an oily texture the 46% carries well.
Finish
Long and dry, with malt, nuts and a mild oak warmth.

Medium. Twenty years in cask from a distillery with very few official bottlings. Dailuaine from the 1990s steadily gets harder to find as the casks are emptied.
Did you know?
In 1884 Dailuaine became the first Scottish distillery to get a pagoda roof over its kiln — the pointed cap that is today the very symbol of a whisky distillery. The architect Charles Doig drew it, and everyone else copied it afterwards.

Dailuaine 2008/2025 Signatory Vintage 16 Year Single Speyside Malt Whisky 57%

Item no.: 333222-19722

Dailuaine has enough body to take an oloroso butt without being buried in it. That is why the distillery has been so useful in blends — and why the sherry finish works here.
Expert description
Dailuaine 2008/2025 Signatory Vintage 16 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in an oloroso sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 57% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The whisky was distilled on 9 April 2008 and bottled on 19 February 2025 from cask number 6, with an outturn of 681 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection. The combination of Dailuaine's fruity, malted base and the dark oloroso notes gives a whisky where sweetness and spice pull in different directions without fighting.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried fruits such as raisins and figs, alongside roasted nuts, dark chocolate and spiced oak.
Palate
Deep and balanced. Sweetness and spice in fine interplay, with a full, oily texture in which the alcohol is elegantly integrated despite the 57%.
Finish
Long and warm, with hints of coffee and leather.

Investment potential
Medium. 681 bottles from an oloroso finish at cask strength, from a distillery whose own bottlings barely exist. Signatory's Cask Strength Collection is followed closely by collectors.
Did you know?
A finish in oloroso is not the same as full maturation in sherry wood. The whisky sits in its main cask first and is moved across for the final years — enough to give colour and fruit, but not long enough for the cask to take over the distillery's own voice.
