  Glen Andrew Single Highland Malt Whisky 40%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279869

  Some bottles tell you everything about where they came from. This one tells you nothing, and lets you spend the time on what is in the glass instead.

  The expert description

  Glen Andrew is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky with clear sherry influence, bottled at 40%.

  The whisky comes from an undisclosed Highland distillery. It is an entirely ordinary arrangement where a distillery sells casks on without wanting its name on the label, and the buyer bottles them under a brand name of their own.

  The result is an approachable and uncomplicated single malt that has become a standing recommendation for anyone finding their way into the style. There is no smoke and there are no sharp edges, and 40% means it asks for neither water nor practice. The colour is deep gold and the sherry influence runs all the way through.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Baked apple and caramel first, with floral undertones and a lightly nutty sherry note behind.

  Palate

  Soft and round with malt sweetness, light spice and a touch of oak. The mouthfeel is pleasant and balanced with no bite to it.

  Finish

  Medium with warmth and sweetness, and a final dry malty note.

  Did you know?

  A distillery can have good reasons for not wanting to be named. Often it is about protecting the price of the house own bottlings, and just as often the casks were sold on in large parcels decades ago, long before anyone imagined single malt would become something people collected.

  Tantallan 10 year old The Vintage Malt Whisky Company Single Highland Malt Whisky 40%

  Item no.: 222255-74533

  A mystery in the glass. No distillery name on the label, just a Highland whisky full of caramel, apples and a warm, sherried depth.

  Expert description

  Tantallan 10 Year Old is a Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled by independent bottler The Vintage Malt Whisky Company at 40% ABV, without disclosing the distillery behind it.

  The name Tantallan is borrowed from the 600-year-old ruin of Tantallon Castle on the Firth of Forth, and this whisky was one of the very first brands launched by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company after its founding in 1992. Because the source distillery stays undisclosed, enthusiasts keep guessing at its origin, and one of the most common guesses among connoisseurs is Mortlach.

  The whisky is composed to be approachable and uncomplicated, carrying a classic sherried character with a deep golden colour that delivers a soft, rounded experience for beginners and seasoned tasters alike.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Baked apples, caramel and a hint of floral notes over a sherried base.

  Palate

  Soft malt sweetness, light spice and a touch of oak deliver a balanced, rounded mouthfeel.

  Finish

  Medium length, with lingering warmth and sweetness.
