Scotch Whisky

The first thing people think of when they hear the word Scotland is whiskey, including  Scotch as it is also called. Although Scotland is known for many things other than just whiskey, such as golf, haggis and kilts, it is for good reason that it is precisely the whiskey that, over time, has been dubbed 'Scotch'. The Scots have always been the true pioneers of whiskey making, which many others have tried to emulate, including the Irish, the Americans and even the Danes. However, none of these places has given rise to a similarity between their nation and their whiskeys. Even in Ireland, where one is also very proud of their Irish whiskeys, the impact and marketing effect has been as great as in Scotland.

It is especially because of the very varied nature of the Scottish highland and lowland respectively, as well as a fantastic entrepreneurial spirit that has enabled the Scots to produce such a large and varied selection of whiskey over time.

Generally, Scottish whiskey is divided into three main types: Each whiskey type has its own flavor and aroma, but the most prevalent type of Scotch Whiskey is Malt Whiskey. It is also from here that one has the very well known Single Malt Whiskeys, which is what most associate with Scottish whiskeys.

Find the right whiskey for your Scotch and soda

It's not just the whiskeys that 'Scotch' has become synonymous with. The same goes for drinks, specifically the legendary Scotch and soda cocktail. This cocktail originated in the USA in the 19th century as part of the highball trend imported to the United States by Englishmen.

Scotch and soda basically consists of Scotch whiskey and carbonated water - these can be both Blended Whiskeys, Grain Whiskeys and Single Malt Whiskeys. However, most people here agree that Single Malt Whiskeys are the best for this particular drink. Therefore, if you want an exclusive version of "Scotch and Soda", we highly recommend you use a Glenlivet Scotch or a Macallan Scotch.

How to make the drink:

Pour two parts of Scotch Whiskey into a glass and six parts of carbonated water. That is it! Here you can choose to use ordinary carbonated water or carbonated water with citrus as you prefer.

A "Scotch and Soda" can be a great way to start drinking whiskey, as the carbonated water makes the drink even more fresh, which especially young palates prefer.

Always fast delivery and free shipping

  • Cragganmore Distillers Edition 2003 bottle with port wood finish
    Item no.: 22227865427-212

    Cragganmore is already the heaviest of the Speyside classics. Add a port cask and the herbal dryness suddenly has dark berries to push against.

    Please note: The bottle is supplied without a carton.

    Expert description

    Cragganmore 2003/2015 Distillers Edition 12 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in port casks and bottled at 40%.

    The whisky was distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2015 under the batch code CggD-6567. Distillers Edition is Diageo's annual range in which the Classic Malts distilleries receive a second maturation in a cask suited to their own style. For Cragganmore that means port, laying dark berries and a lightly tart fruit over the herbal, honeyed core. Each vintage is bottled once and never repeated.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Heather and honey first, then plum, dark berries and a warm spiced note from the port wood.

    Palate

    Rounder and darker than the standard 12 year old. Raisin, cherry and malt, with sandalwood and light wood smoke beneath. The port brings a tart edge that keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with dark berries, malt and a herbal warmth fading slowly.

    Distillers Edition began in the 1990s as a way of showing what a second maturation can do to a familiar whisky. The cask type is fixed per distillery — Cragganmore has had port from the start, while Lagavulin, for instance, always gets Pedro Ximénez.

  • Cragganmore 2016 Annual Release Speyside single malt bottle
    Item no.: 22227865428-200

    Cragganmore is almost always sold at forty percent and twelve years. Every so often Diageo opens the warehouse door and lets it out at full strength — and then it becomes a different whisky entirely.

    Expert description

    Cragganmore 2016 Annual Release is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 55.7% without an age statement.

    The release belongs to Diageo's annual Special Releases and was made in 4,932 bottles. Cragganmore sits at Ballindalloch between mountain and sea, in the triangle of land locally called the Garden of Scotland, where barley is a natural crop and the Spey is Scotland's fastest flowing river. It was precisely that combination of barley, water and peat from the uplands to the south that made John Smith build here in 1869. At 55.7% the herbal, malted house style stands far more clearly than in the 12 year old.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Concentrated heather and honey, dried herbs and a warm resinous note. Underneath sit malt, apple skin and a trace of wood smoke.

    Palate

    Powerful and dense. Honey, sandalwood, malt and candied citrus, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry herbal edge keeping the sweetness in check.

    Finish

    Very long and dry, with malt, herbs, oak and a slowly fading smoked warmth.

    Cragganmore sits in what locals call the Garden of Scotland — a fertile triangle between mountain and sea where barley grows well. John Smith chose the spot because everything a distillery needs lay within walking distance: grain, water, peat and a railway.

  • Craigellachie 13 years Speyside single malt bottle in green glass
    Item no.: 22227865391-302

    Whisky writer Alfred Barnard called the style one seldom met with now, and that was in the nineteenth century. Craigellachie has changed nothing since — which is exactly the point.

    Expert description

    Craigellachie 13 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in oak casks and bottled at 46%.

    The distillery was built in 1891 on the rock of Craigellachie between Rothes and Dufftown, where the rivers Fiddich and Spey meet. The name is Gaelic and means rocky hill. Condensing still happens in worm tubs, giving less copper contact than modern plant, which is why the whisky carries the meaty, faintly sulphurous edge that sets it apart from its neighbours. For decades most of the production went into blends such as White Horse, and only in 2014 did the distillery get a range of its own.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Baked apple, pear and ripe pineapple first. Then vanilla, honey and cereal, with a spiced smoke and a light mineral note that is the house signature.

    Palate

    Full and oily. Pineapple, citrus, sweet malt and caramelised sugar, with a touch of flint and smoke from the sulphurous edge. The oak gives depth without taking over.

    Finish

    Long, warm and spiced, with oak, fruit and a hint of toasted malt.

    Pineapple runs through the entire Craigellachie range, and it is no accident. The heavy vapour from worm tubs leaves sulphur compounds behind, and years in cask turn them into a clear tropical fruit note — one of the strangest and most recognisable signatures in Scotch whisky.

  • Craigellachie 16 years Old Particular Emporium Exclusive single cask bottle
    Item no.: 22233355-55664

    Douglas Laing does not just select casks — it also selects who may sell them. Emporium Exclusive goes only to a handful of shops, and Whisky.dk is one of them.

    Expert description

    Craigellachie 16 years Emporium Exclusive is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled by Douglas Laing at 51.4% without chill filtration.

    The cask gave 210 bottles and belongs to the Old Particular range, in which Douglas Laing bottles single casks from distilleries across Scotland. The Emporium Exclusive line is distributed through a small, carefully chosen group of specialist retailers. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and therefore makes a heavier, meatier spirit than the rest of Speyside — sixteen years in cask gives it time to unfold without losing the edge.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Aromatic spices first, then liquorice, dark sweetness and a light herbal note. Behind them sit vanilla fudge and a touch of tropical fruit.

    Palate

    Powerful and layered. Spice, liquorice and malt meet vanilla fudge and a creamy sweetness that softens the intensity. The sulphurous distillery edge runs beneath as a mineral undercurrent.

    Finish

    Long and spiced, with liquorice, oak and a dry warmth that lingers.

    The Old Particular name refers to the old Scots term for a whisky that was something out of the ordinary — and Douglas Laing has used it since 1948 for the casks the family would have kept for themselves.

    Item no.: 22227865449-18227

    Berry Bros & Rudd has traded wine and spirits from the same London address since 1698. When they pick a single cask of Craigellachie, it is not by accident.

    Expert description

    Craigellachie 2007/2017 Berry Bros 9 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky drawn from a single cask at 46%.

    The cask carries the number 900640, was filled in 2007 and bottled in 2017. The release belongs to Berry's Own Selection, the house range of single cask whisky where the distillery character is left unadjusted. Nine years is young for Craigellachie, but that is exactly why the meaty, mineral style from the worm tub condensing comes through so clearly before the cask starts to dominate.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and young. Green apple, pear and pineapple, with cereal, vanilla and a flinty mineral note underneath.

    Palate

    Oily and spiced. Citrus, malt and baked fruit, with the sulphurous edge as a dry undercurrent. The 46% gives bite without tightening.

    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.

    Strictly Limited is where Càrn Mòr puts the young casks. No age statement to hide behind, no heavy sherry coat — just the spirit and a European oak cask.

    Expert description

    Craigellachie 2013/2022 Càrn Mòr 8 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in European oak and bottled at 47.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The release gave 1,173 bottles and belongs to Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited from Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, run by brothers Brian and Jamie Morrison. The range consists of small cask marriages bottled at a fixed strength, and past releases have included Ardmore, Bunnahabhain, Mortlach and Caol Ila. European oak gives more spice and tannin than American, and on Craigellachie's meaty spirit the result is distinctly spiced.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Caramel and baked fruit first, then cinnamon, dried herbs and a trace of smoke from the distillation.

    Palate

    Full and spiced. Caramel, malt and dark fruit, with tannin from the European oak and the mineral edge from the worm tubs. The texture is oily despite the young age.

    Finish

    Item no.: 059766-7419

    Thirty-two bottles, thirty-two pieces. The Chess Malt Collection is built as a chess set where each distillery is assigned a role — and Craigellachie is not a pawn.

    Expert description

    Craigellachie 21 years The Chess Malt Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 52.3%.

    The whisky was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2017. The collection consists of 32 unique single cask releases, each bottle representing a chess piece: two kings, two queens, four bishops, four knights, four rooks and sixteen pawns, split between black and white. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and makes a heavy, meaty spirit, which after twenty-one years in a sherry cask has gained both depth and a dark fruit sweetness without losing its mineral edge.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Rich and inviting. Raisins, dark dried fruits, chocolate and spiced Christmas cake.

    Palate

    Powerful and complex, with layers of caramel, orange peel, nuts and dark chocolate, underpinned by tobacco notes and spiced oak.

    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.

    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.

    Lennox is the old name for the land around Loch Lomond, and Murray McDavid has used it as the title for this young, heavily peated take on Croftengea – a whisky with no time for caution.

    Expert's Description

  • Cutty Sark Prohibition blended Scotch whisky bottle with black label
    Item no.: 22227865425-2018

    Captain William McCoy ran whisky into the United States during Prohibition and never watered it down. People started asking for the genuine article — the real McCoy. This bottle is a nod to him.

    Expert description

    Cutty Sark Prohibition is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 50%.

    The edition was made as a tribute to Prohibition, when Cutty Sark was among the most smuggled whiskies on the American east coast. McCoy anchored outside territorial waters and sold bottles on to small boats — and because he never diluted the goods, his name turned into a phrase. The 50% strength was chosen to reach the body the whisky had before it passed through many hands.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Stronger than the yellow label. Vanilla, dried fruit and cereal, with a touch of spice and a warm oak note.

    Palate

    Full and oily. Caramel, orange peel and malt, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry oak edge. There is more body than in the standard release, but the same pale fruit character underneath.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with spice, cereal and a persistent warmth.

    The phrase the real McCoy is, on one widely repeated account, down to Captain William McCoy, who refused to dilute or adulterate his smuggled whisky. The expression stuck long after Prohibition ended.

  • Cutty Black 100 Proof blended whisky bottle with black label
    Item no.: 505956-498796-31

    Fifty percent on a blend is rare today. It was not in post-war America, where 100 proof stood for something you did not have to apologise for.

    Expert description

    Cutty Black 100 Proof is a Blended Whisky bottled at 50% in a 75 cl bottle.

    The 100 proof designation comes from the American system, where the proof figure is exactly double the alcohol percentage. The 75 cl format and the black label place the bottle in an earlier era, when the Cutty Sark house ran several parallel expressions for different markets. The higher strength gives more body and a longer finish than the ordinary bottlings from the same family.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Malt and dried fruit first, then honey, oak and a warm spiced note from the strength.

    Palate

    Full and powerful. Cereal, caramel and orange peel, with a dry oak edge and a peppery warmth that the fifty percent carries without burning.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with malt, nuts and a persistent spiced warmth.

    Did you know?

    The proof system comes from an old British method where spirit was poured over gunpowder and set alight. If the powder caught, the strength was proven — hence the word proof. The Americans later fixed the number at double the alcohol percentage.

  • Cutty Sark blended Scotch whisky bottle with yellow label
    Item no.: 22227865425-11

    If a single malt is a virtuoso soloist, a blend is a full orchestra. Cutty Sark was created in 1923 by the wine merchants at Berry Bros & Rudd — and they wanted something pale while the rest of the trade made it dark.

    Expert description

    Cutty Sark is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.

    The blend is built on around twenty selected single malts, mostly from Speyside, married with high quality grain whisky. When the bottle appeared in 1923 it was deliberately pale at a time when whisky was otherwise sold dark — a decision taken by Berry Bros & Rudd in London, who also named it after the tea clipper Cutty Sark. The yellow label was drawn by the Scottish artist James McBey.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Golden and light. Grass, flowers and coconut, with a touch of vanilla underneath.

    Palate

    Complex for something so light. Gentle notes of vanilla and coconut, with American oak, malt and a soft fruit sweetness. The broad palette is the whole idea — no single note sticks out.

    Finish

    Dry, fruity and spiced, with cereal and a mild oak warmth.

    Nobody keeps the half bottle. It gets drunk, packed in a bag or taken to the cabin — which is exactly why the old ones are hard to find in good condition.

    Expert description

    Cutty Sark Yellow Label is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40% in a 37.5 cl bottle.

    The yellow label has followed Cutty Sark since 1923, when the Scottish artist James McBey drew it for Berry Bros & Rudd's new blend. The half bottle format was made for travel, bars and gift sets, and for that reason very few were ever kept. The contents are the same pale, fruity blend of around twenty Speyside malts and grain whisky that made the bottle known worldwide.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and fresh. Grass, citrus and coconut, with vanilla and a trace of malt behind.

    Palate

    Light and soft. Vanilla, apple and cereal, with American oak and a mild spiced warmth. No edges, no smoke.

    James McBey, who drew the label, was a respected Scottish etcher and war artist. The vivid yellow is said to be down to a misunderstanding at the printer — it was meant to be more muted, but Berry Bros decided to keep it.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279873

    Dailuaine has supplied malt to other people's blends for over a century without getting its name on the bottle. Douglas Laing put it there — and packed the whisky in a ceramic decanter.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 10 years Douglas Laing Premier Barrel is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry wood and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The release gave 602 bottles and belongs to the Premier Barrel range, in which Douglas Laing bottles single casks in ceramic decanters rather than glass. Dailuaine sits at Carron in Speyside and has since 1852 supplied a heavy, sherry-friendly malt that has almost entirely ended up in blends. Official bottlings are rare, which is why independent bottlers are the ones keeping the distillery name on the shelves.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark and round. Raisin, dark chocolate and orange peel, with a warm spiced note and a trace of nuts.

    Palate

    Full and malty. Dried fruit, cocoa and a lightly tart sherry edge, with cereal and a warm spiced middle. The 46% carries the sweetness without making it heavy.

    Finish

    Medium and dry, with nuts, malt and a faintly bitter cocoa note.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280002

    Distilled on the same day as its four-year-younger sister, but these casks were left standing. Four extra years in hogsheads sounds like little — in the glass the difference is obvious.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 1997/2022 Signatory 24 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogsheads and bottled at 47.4% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The casks are numbered 7227 and 7235, were filled on 21 May 1997 and emptied on 20 January 2022. The outturn was 369 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection, where the whisky goes into bottle at the strength the cask delivers. Dailuaine is one of those distilleries where almost the entire production disappears into blends, and twenty-four year old bottlings exist essentially only through independent bottlers.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Ripe apples, pears and quince, with vanilla, malt and a mild spiced oak behind.

    Palate

    Silky with well-integrated alcohol. Sweetness and freshness first, then vanilla, malt and spiced oak, in a balanced and elegant mouthfeel.

    Finish

    Dry and harmonious, with the complexity and maturity stepping forward at the close.

    Quince is a fruit you rarely meet in modern whisky, but it turns up in old Speyside malts from bourbon wood. It sits somewhere between apple and pear, and it is often a sign of a cask that has been allowed to work long and quietly.

    No filtration, no colouring, no adjustment. The Un-Chillfiltered Collection is Signatory's attempt to show a distillery as it actually comes out of the cask.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 2008/2021 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Signatory Vintage 13 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The whisky was distilled on 20 June 2008 and bottled on 6 August 2021, and the outturn was only 157 bottles. The range gathers hand-picked releases from distilleries across Scotland, chosen for their clear flavour profile rather than their name value. Dailuaine is one of those distilleries that almost never appears on its own bottles, and thirteen years in bourbon wood gives a clean, malted version with no cask make-up.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and malty. Apple, cereal and vanilla, with a light floral note and a touch of citrus.

    Palate

    Clean and full. Malt, honey and baked apple, with vanilla from the bourbon cask and a dry spiced edge. The 46% gives good weight without tightening up.

    Finish

    Medium and dry, with cereal, vanilla and a light nutty note.

    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.

    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.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 2009/2022 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Signatory Vintage 12 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogsheads and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

The range gathers hand-picked releases from distilleries across Scotland, where the whisky is allowed into bottle in its most untreated form. Dailuaine delivers a heavier spirit than most of its Speyside neighbours, and twelve years in hogsheads is enough to give balance without erasing the malted core.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and cereal-led. Green apple, malt and vanilla, with a light herbal note and a touch of citrus peel.

    Ruby port is the most forward of the ports — young, dark and full of berries. Put on a Speyside spirit with body, it gives a whisky that does not resemble itself.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 2011/2024 Coopers Choice Port Wood Finish is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak with a subsequent finish in ruby port wood and bottled at 53.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

The cask carries the number 0720, and the outturn was 300 bottles. The Glasgow house has since 1992 selected single casks from distilleries across Scotland, and Cooper's Choice is their range for exactly that kind of find.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Red berries, dark fruits and spices first, with vanilla and a touch of oak behind.

    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.

    Item no.: 22227865479-33569

    Tawny port has sat long enough to lose the fresh berry edge and find nuts and caramel instead. Laid over ten years of Dailuaine, the result is darker than the age suggests.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 2013/2023 Lady of the Glen 10 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill hogshead with a subsequent tawny port finish and bottled at cask strength of 59%.

    The whisky was distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2023 by Lady of the Glen, the Scottish independent bottler from Fife founded in 2012 by Gregor Hannah. A refill cask works more slowly than a first fill, which leaves room for the port finish to make its mark without fighting the oak. Dailuaine's heavy, malted spirit has enough body to carry both.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark fruit and nuts first. Dried fig, walnut and caramel, with malt and a warm spiced note underneath.

    Palate

    Powerful and dense. Caramelised nuts, dried fruit and malt, with the dry edge of the port and a peppery warmth from the 59%. The texture is oily despite the young age.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with nuts, caramel and a warm spiced close.

    Did you know?

    Tawny port ages in cask for years and oxidises along the way, which gives nuts and caramel instead of the fresh berries you find in ruby. That is why a tawny cask often suits a whisky that already has malted weight.

    Dallas Dhu 12 years Gordon & MacPhail is a Highland Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.

    The distillery sits near Forres and closed in 1983 during the great wave of closures, when overproduction brought a string of Scottish houses to their knees. The buildings were preserved and are run today as a museum, which makes Dallas Dhu one of the few places you can walk through a complete distillery that no longer produces. Gordon & MacPhail in Elgin has bottled whisky from across Scotland since 1895 and is among the most important sources of bottles from closed distilleries.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Soft and malty. Honey, dried apple and cereal, with a dusty note from the years in glass.

    Palate

    Round and light. Malt, honey and pale caramel, with a touch of spice and a mild oak note. The 40% keeps it easy to approach.

    Finish

    Medium and dry, with malt, nuts and a faint herbal warmth.

  • Dalmore 14 years MacKarl limited edition bottle from Ringsted series
    Item no.: 22227865471-305-MK

    A Danish retailer series named after the mayors of Ringsted does not sound like where you find an independent Dalmore. That is nonetheless exactly what is in the bottle.

    Expert description

    Dalmore 14 years MacKarl 1896–1904 Limited Edition is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an American hogshead and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The whisky was distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2015 for Skjold Burne in Ringsted as part of the Ringsted Whisky series, where each edition is dedicated to a former mayor of the town. This one carries the name MacKarl after Karl Kristian Ludvig Jürgens, mayor from 1896 to 1904. Dalmore on the Cromarty Firth releases almost exclusively official bottlings, so independent bottles from the distillery are rare — and a Danish retailer bottling rarer still.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Ripe fruit and honey first, then vanilla, malt and a warm spiced note from the American oak.

    Palate

    Soft and round. Orange, honey and caramel, with malt and a layer of spice. The 46% gives good weight without turning sharp.

    Finish

    Medium and warm, with vanilla, oak and a mild spiced sweetness.

    Did you know?

    Dalmore's twelve-point royal stag comes from Clan Mackenzie. The story goes that the clan founder saved King Alexander III from a charging stag, and in return was permitted to carry the animal on his coat of arms. The distillery has used it ever since.

  • Dalmore 1990 Signatory 17 years sherry butt bottle at cask strength
    Item no.: 505956-689457-8

    Dalmore from an independent bottler is a rare sight. Dalmore from 1990 in a single sherry butt at full cask strength is close to an anomaly.

    Expert description

    Dalmore 1990/2008 Signatory Vintage 17 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 59.2% without added colouring.

    The cask carries the number 9411, was filled on 11 September 1990 and emptied on 25 March 2008. The outturn was 501 bottles. Dalmore sits at Alness on the shore of the Cromarty Firth and is known for its heavy, sherried house style — which is exactly why a single sherry cask suits the spirit so well. The distillery lets very few casks go on to independent bottlers, making this release unusual.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Deep and dark. Raisin, orange peel and dark chocolate, with walnut, leather and a warm spiced note from the wood.

    Palate

    Massive and concentrated. Dried fruit, cocoa and caramelised sugar, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry sherry edge keeping the sweetness in check.

    Finish

    Very long and dry, with nuts, dark fruit and a persistent spiced warmth.

    Dalmore's motto Luceo non uro means shine, not burn. It comes from the Clan Mackenzie coat of arms and has followed the distillery since the family took it over in the nineteenth century — even after the whisky had long since changed owners.

  • Dalmore 18 years 2023 Edition Highland single malt bottle with stag emblem
    Item no.: 2227865479-110999

    González Byass in Jerez has casks that have held Matusalem oloroso for thirty years. Dalmore gets to borrow them — and that arrangement is what the entire house style rests on.

    Expert description

    Dalmore 2023 Edition 18 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American white oak and 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 43%.

    The distillery sits at Alness on the shore of the Cromarty Firth and has since 1839 worked in a heavy, sherried style. The partnership with the sherry house González Byass gives Dalmore access to oloroso casks that held wine for three decades, and it is those that give the 18 year old its depth. This release is the 2023 version of the standing 18 year old, which is adjusted from year to year.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Deep and inviting. Orange peel, raisin and dark chocolate, with cinnamon, roasted nuts and a warm note of old oak.

    Palate

    Full and silky. Dried fruit, caramel and marzipan, with spice from the sherry cask and a malted core underneath. The 43% carries the sweetness without making it sticky.

    Finish

    Long and warm, with raisin, cocoa and a dry spiced close.

    Matusalem is González Byass' oldest oloroso, a VORS sherry with at least thirty years in cask. The casks serve sherry for decades and only then whisky — one reason Dalmore can hold such a dark and concentrated style.

  • Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Highland single malt bottle in dark design
    Item no.: 22227865461-2

    There are not many whiskies built to be drunk alongside something else. Cigar Malt is one of them — made to hold its ground against the smoke of a cigar.

    Expert description

    Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 44%.

    The whisky is assembled from selected casks aged roughly ten to fifteen years and is deliberately bottled a little stronger than the rest of the house range. The point is that it should stand up to the weight of tobacco without disappearing. This release is Version No. 2 of Cigar Malt, which Dalmore revived after a pause. The distillery at Alness has worked with sherry casks since the nineteenth century, and it is that same dark, concentrated style underneath.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Powerful and dark. Raisin, orange marmalade and dark chocolate, with cinnamon, clove and a warm note of tobacco and leather.

    Palate

    Full and dense. Dried fruit, caramel and spice, with an oily texture and a dry oak edge. The 44% gives extra weight compared with the house 40% releases.

    Finish

    Long and warm, with spice, dark fruit and a dry, almost tobacco-like close.

    The original Cigar Malt was discontinued in the mid-2000s and missed enough that Dalmore brought the name back in 2012. It is rare for a distillery to revive a discontinued bottling — but the demand from cigar bars would not go away.

  • Dalmunach 7 years Murray McDavid PX sherry finish bottle
    Item no.: 22227865364-354657

    Ximénez-Spinola is a small sherry house in Jerez working only with the Pedro Ximénez grape. Their casks rarely end up in whisky — but when they do, you can taste it.

    Expert description

    Dalmunach 7 years Murray McDavid PX Sherry Finish is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in Ximénez-Spinola PX casks and bottled at 48.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The release belongs to Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series and was made in 2,062 bottles. Murray McDavid was founded in 1996 and has made cask finishing its signature — the house buys casks from named wine and sherry producers rather than settling for generic sherry wood. Dalmunach opened in 2015, so everything that exists from the distillery is young.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark and sweet. Raisin, date and dark chocolate, with a layer of young malt and cereal under the concentrated fruit.

    Palate

    Round and syrupy. Dried fruit, caramel and cocoa, with a lightly spiced edge from the oak. The 48.5% keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

    Finish

  • Dalwhinnie 15 years Highland single malt bottle in pale golden colour
    Item no.: 22227865459-20

    Scotland's highest and coldest distillery sits 355 metres up in the Cairngorms. The cold is not a drawback — it is the whole reason the whisky comes out so clean and floral.

    Expert description

    Dalwhinnie 15 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.

    The distillery has produced since 1897 at Glen Truim in the Cairngorms National Park and is both the highest and coldest in Scotland. The water comes from Allt an t'Sluic, a source no other distillery may use, and it runs through local peat on the way down. Dalwhinnie is the Highland representative in Diageo's Classic Malts range, and the 15 year old is the core expression.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and elegant. Heather, honey and a lightly vinous grape note, with vanilla and a trace of peat in the background.

    Palate

    Soft and clean. Honey, malt and heather, with a creamy texture and a mild spiced warmth. There is a clear fruit sweetness held in place by a dry edge.

    Finish

    Dry and long, with vanilla, heather and a faint smoke note that lingers.

  • Dalwhinnie Winters Gold Highland single malt bottle in winter design
    Item no.: 22227865459-215

    There are not many whiskies the producer asks you to put in the freezer. Winter's Gold is one of them — and it genuinely improves for it.

    Expert description

    Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.

    The bottle is built from whisky distilled in the winter months, when Dalwhinnie's already cold position in the Cairngorms gives the slowest condensing of the year. The producer recommends keeping the bottle in the freezer and pouring the whisky ice cold, where the texture thickens and the sweetness comes forward. It is an unusual recommendation in Scotch whisky, but it makes sense with this particular style.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Honey and heather first, then vanilla, ripe fruit and a lightly spiced note. Cool and clean in expression.

    Palate

    Soft and creamy. Honey, malt and pale fruit, with a full mouthfeel that thickens further when the whisky is cold. The sweetness is clear but never cloying.

    Finish

    Medium and soft, with honey, vanilla and a mild spiced warmth.

    Chilling genuinely changes the texture of whisky. At low temperatures the liquid turns more viscous and the sweetness more prominent, while the volatile aromas retreat. That is why Winter's Gold tastes distinctly different from the freezer than from the shelf.
