Coopers Choice Whisky

Cooper's Choice pays tribute to the craftsmen without whom there would be no whisky to collect at all — the coopers, whose trade shaped the dram long before the first drop touched a glass. Every cask in the series is chosen for its ability to make a familiar distillate unpredictable again. This is whisky for those who've tasted most of it and are still hunting for the surprise.

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

Item no.: 22227865392-988

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

Did You Know?
The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. is behind more familiar names than The Coopers Choice. The house also owns the Islay brands Finlaggan and The Ileach, both bottled without a distillery name on the label. It is an old tradition in the trade: whisky from a distillery that may not be named, sent out under a brand of its own.

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

Item no.: 22227865392-8762

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

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

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

Item no.: 22278655-8887

The name says it all – here Bunnahabhain's peated spirit meets a finishing period in oloroso sherry, bottled by one of Scotland's most respected independent houses.
Expert's Description
Bunnahabhain Sherried Smoke Coopers Choice is a Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky finished in an oloroso sherry butt and bottled at 46%.
Coopers Choice is the work of The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, which since 1992 in Glasgow has specialised in selecting and bottling rare, characterful single casks from Scotland's finest distilleries. At Coopers Choice, quality trumps quantity – every bottle is bottled in small batches, typically without chill filtration and with natural colour.
This release was distilled at Bunnahabhain and finished in oloroso sherry casks from cask #0322, adding both depth and a warm smoky character to the already peated spirit.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Smoky notes combined with sweetness from dried fruit and a hint of sea salt.
Palate
A harmonious balance of peat, caramel, tobacco ash, sherry sweetness and spiced undertones.
Finish
Long and warm with lingering smoke and fruity nuances.

Cambus 1991 Coopers Choice 29 year old Amarone Cask Finish Single Grain Scotch Whisky 46,2%

Item no.: 2222666321-5542

Amarone is made from grapes left to dry before pressing. Casks that held that wine are concentrated, dark and slightly uncompromising — exactly the sort of contrast a thirty year old grain whisky can use.
Expert description
Cambus 1991 Coopers Choice 29 Years is a Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and finished in Amarone wine cask #9067, bottled at 46.2% without chill filtration and without added colour.
The Coopers Choice is the series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, founded in 1992 by Brian Crook. The house is known for experimenting with unusual finishes, and Amarone is among the more assertive it has worked with. The cask gave 336 bottles.
Cambus closed in 1993, so spirit from the early 1990s comes from its final operating years. After 29 years in bourbon wood the grain whisky has turned soft and creamy, and the wine cask lays a coat of dark fruit over the top without covering the sweetness.
Tasting notes
Nose
Raisin and dark cherry with vanilla, fudge and a stroke of dried fig.
Palate
Soft and round with toffee, plum and a light vinous acidity. The creamy grain character carries the fruit without struggling against it.
Finish
Long and rounded with dark fruit, caramel and a dry, lightly spiced tail.

Did you know?
Amarone della Valpolicella is made by appassimento, where the grapes dry on mats for months before pressing. The method concentrates sugar and acidity, which is why the casks leave so much dark fruit behind in whisky.

Cambus 1991/2021 Coopers Choice 30 years old Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 49.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-593

Thirty years in the same bourbon cask, no finish, no detours. It is the most honest way to show what time alone does to grain whisky — and why old Cambus casks have become hunted.
Expert description
Cambus 1991/2021 Coopers Choice 30 Years is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky from Bourbon Cask #29218, bottled at 49.5% without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled in May 1991 and bottled in 2021 after thirty years in the same cask. The cask gave 300 bottles. The Coopers Choice is the series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, which buys and selects single casks from across Scotland.
Cambus stood in Clackmannanshire and was one of the classic Lowland grain distilleries. It closed in 1993, and the buildings today serve only for cask repair. With no wine or sherry finish, this bottling is a clean reading of what time and American oak can do.
Tasting notes
Nose
Vanilla, coconut and white chocolate with ripe pear and a lightly toasted almond note.
Palate
Silky with vanilla custard, caramel and pale grain. The oak is present but never dry or sharp.
Finish
Long and creamy with fudge, coconut and a fine, warm dryness.

Cambus 1991/2024 Coopers Choice 32 Years Old Bourbon Cask Finish Single Grain Scotch Whisky 47,5%

Item no.: 2222666321-5543

264 bottles. That is everything that came out of thirty-two years in a single bourbon cask. Evaporation took the rest, and what remains is concentrated in a way young whiskies cannot imitate.
Expert description
Cambus 1991/2024 Coopers Choice 32 Years is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky from Bourbon Cask #79880, bottled at 47.5% without chill filtration and without added colour.
The whisky was distilled in September 1991 at the now closed Cambus distillery and bottled in January 2024 as part of the Cooper's Choice series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Company. The cask gave 264 bottles.
After thirty-two years the strength sits at 47.5%, which tells you the cask lost some power along the way. That is typical of very long maturation in a quiet warehouse and gives a softer whisky than bottlings still above 50%.
Tasting notes
Nose
Vanilla custard and coconut macaroon with ripe banana and a trace of pale oak.
Palate
Very soft and creamy with fudge, honey and white chocolate. The age reads as texture rather than as wood.
Finish
Long, soft and sweet with vanilla, grain and a fine, dry close.

The angel's share is the amount of whisky that evaporates through the cask each year. After thirty-two years more than half the contents can be gone, which is one reason very old whiskies exist in such small volumes.

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.

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%

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.

Tasting notes

Ruby port is the youngest and most fruit-driven of the ports, where tawny is aged longer and moves towards nuts and caramel. The choice between the two decides whether a port finish pulls towards fresh berries or dried fruit — and it is rarely accidental.

Expert description
Dalmunach 2016/2023 Coopers Choice 7 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at cask strength of 58.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

Tasting notes
Nose
Dark and syrupy. Raisin, date and fig, with dark chocolate, coffee and a young, cereal freshness underneath.
Palate
Dense and sweet. Caramelised sugar, dried fruit and cocoa, with a peppery warmth from the cask strength. The PX cask dominates, but the young spirit pushes back with cereal and malt.

Dalmunach 2016/2024 Coopers Choice 8 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57,5%

Item no.: 059763-615-5990

Marsala comes from Sicily and is almost never used for whisky. That is exactly why a bottler like Cooper's Choice tries it — and why the bottle tastes unlike its neighbour on the shelf.
Expert description
Dalmunach 2016/2024 Coopers Choice 8 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak with a final finish in Marsala wine casks and bottled at cask strength of 57.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The whisky was distilled in April 2016 and bottled in 2024, with an outturn of 324 bottles. Marsala is a Sicilian fortified wine, far less used in whisky than sherry and port — it gives a nutty, lightly bitter fruit character unlike anything else. Dalmunach opened in 2015 and is among Scotland's youngest distilleries.
Tasting notes
Nose
Nuts and dried fruit first. Apricot, almond and orange peel, with a warm spiced note and young, cereal freshness underneath.
Palate
Full and lightly bitter in the good sense. Nuts, dried apricot and caramel, with a dry fruit edge from the Marsala cask and a peppery warmth from the strength.
Finish
Long and dry, with nuts, spice and a faintly bitter fruit close.

The whisky was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2024 from cask number 1149 by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company in Glasgow as part of the Cooper's Choice range. Sauternes comes from Bordeaux and is made from grapes affected by noble rot, which concentrates the sugar. On a honeyed Highland malt like Deanston it reinforces the sweetness rather than working against it.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey, apricot and orange marmalade, with vanilla and a light floral note from the wine cask.
Palate
Full and sweet. Ripe fruit, honey and spice, with oak and a creamy texture. The Sauternes cask lays a layer of concentrated fruit sweetness over the house honey.
Finish
Long and warm, with fruit, spice and a dry oak note at the close.

Medium. A single cask with a Sauternes finish from a bottler working with individual casks. Wine cask finishes of this kind exist in small numbers.
Did you know?
Noble rot sounds like something that ruins a harvest, and most of the time it does. Only under very particular humidity does the fungus draw water from the grapes without spoiling them — which is what makes Sauternes both rare and expensive.

Dumbarton 2000/2021 Coopers Choice 20 years old Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 56.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-591

Dumbarton no longer exists. The great red brick complex on the river Clyde was pulled down, and all that remains are the casks that made it out in time. This is one of them.
The expert description
Dumbarton 2000/2021 Coopers Choice 20 Years Old is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and bottled at cask strength 56.5%.
Hiram Walker built Dumbarton in 1938 as one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland, and for decades it supplied the backbone of the Ballantine’s blends. Production stopped in 2002, the buildings came down, and the site has since become housing. That turns any bottling carrying the Dumbarton name into a time capsule, because no more is coming.
This cask, number 211097, was filled in November 2000 and bottled in 2021 after twenty years. The Coopers Choice is The Vintage Malt Whisky Company’s range of single cask bottlings, and as usual they have neither chill filtered nor coloured it. The cask gave 234 bottles.
Tasting notes
Nose
Coconut and vanilla pod settle first, then buttery pastry, ripe banana and a faint note of sawdust off the active bourbon wood.
Palate
Sweet and oily in spite of the high strength. Caramel, corn sweetness and creme brulee, with a growing spice of nutmeg and white pepper.
Finish
Long and warm. Toffee, toasted oak and a dry, almost powdery close that is typical of well-aged grain whisky.

Investment potential
Medium. Dumbarton closed in 2002 and the remaining stock only ever shrinks. A silent distillery, twenty years in wood and just 234 bottles from a single cask is the kind of release that tends to disappear from shelves and prove difficult to find again.
Did you know?
Dumbarton housed its own malt whisky production inside the complex under the name Inverleven, and for decades a giant Ballantine’s sign stood on the roof, visible from the motorway. The sign came down with everything else.

Glen Spey 2010/2021 Coopers Choice 11 year old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55%

Item no.: 222744-77823

From Rothes to Normandy — that is the journey this Glen Spey cask has taken. Eleven years matured in American oak, followed by a finish in a calvados cask from the apple orchards of Normandy. The result is a Speyside single malt that combines the familiar with the unexpected.
Expert's description
Glen Spey 2010/2021 Coopers Choice 11 year is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak and finished in a calvados cask, bottled at 55% by The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. The Coopers Choice is the series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., founded in 1992 by Brian Crook in Milngavie. The company is named after the cooper — the cask-maker — one of the oldest and most essential crafts in the whisky world. Every release is single cask, natural colour and without chill filtration.
Glen Spey is the Rothes distillery that is rarely seen as a single malt. Distilled on 1 June 2010 in American oak casks, this bottling received a finishing period in a calvados cask (#803006) before being released in January 2021. Calvados — the Norman apple spirit — leaves clear traces: sweet, crisp apple fruitiness and a lightly spiced complexity. Only 354 bottles.
Tasting notes
Nose
Delicate peaches and sweet vanilla open first, supported by tropical notes — mango and passionfruit — along with apple peel from the calvados cask.
Palate
Soft spice and walnut whip with sweet poached pears and cooked apples in balance with lightly malty oak. The calvados cask adds a sweet, fruity complexity without dominating.
Finish
Crisp and dry with fruit and spice cutting through. Clean and well-defined.

Did you know?
Calvados is France's answer to whisky — a distillate based on apple cider or pear cider from Normandy, matured in oak casks. Combining it with Scotch single malt is a relatively new trend, but the results can be surprisingly harmonious.

The Mannochmore 2011 vintage whisky is part of The Cooper’s Choice range from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., founded in 1992 by Brian Crook. Known for exceptional quality and small batch releases, the company focuses on carefully selected single cask whiskies from some of Scotland’s finest distilleries.

This particular expression was matured for 11 years—initially in American oak bourbon casks, adding classic notes of vanilla and toasty wood, before being finished in a Ruby Sherry wine butt. This secondary maturation imparts rich layers of red fruit sweetness, depth, and complexity.

On the palate, expect a refined character with notes of dried fruit, cherry, plum, and soft caramel, balanced by warming spice and oaky undertones. The nose reveals fruity sweetness, hints of nuts, and a gentle floral touch. The finish is long, velvety, and well-rounded.

About Coopers Choice Whisky

Coopers Choice is a series from the Scottish bottling house The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, named in honour of "coopers", the craftsmen who build and maintain the oak casks whisky matures in. The series focuses on limited single cask releases from Scottish distilleries, often with experimental cask maturation and finishes, letting collectors taste a familiar distillery in a completely different cask style than usually seen in official releases. For beginners, Coopers Choice is an affordable way into single cask whisky, while seasoned collectors often chase the rarer cask types in the range.

History & background

The series is released by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, a Scottish bottling house rooted in the independent whisky trade, where the name Coopers Choice deliberately honours the craft behind the cask itself rather than the distillery. The philosophy behind the series is that the cask matters just as much to the finished whisky as the distillate itself, and that the cooper's work therefore deserves its own spotlight. Over the years the series has grown to cover a broad range of Scottish distilleries and regions.

Production & style

Coopers Choice selects single casks from various Scottish distilleries and often lets them undergo an extra finish in specialty casks, such as sherry, port or Madeira, adding new layers of flavour on top of the distillery's base character. That gives a series where the variation bottle to bottle is part of the experience.

Signature style

Experimental, Cask-driven, Varied
Flavour shifts noticeably from release to release, driven by the chosen finish, but always with a clear cask character up front.

Did you know?

The name Coopers Choice is a direct tribute to the cooper's trade, a craft tradition that in Scotland has historically mattered as much to a whisky's final flavour as the distillation itself, yet rarely gets its own name on the label.
