Drookit Dug 9 Year Old Little Brown Dog Cask Strength Blended Scotch Whisky 70 cl 45.2%

Drookit Dug 9 Year Old is a characterful and well-balanced blended Scotch whisky with a strength of 45.2%. It is created by Little Brown Dog through a careful combination of malt and grain whiskies, including a small portion of older grain whisky, matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks (first and second fill). This 9-year-old edition builds on the classic Drookit Dug profile but offers extra depth and finesse thanks to extended maturation.

This version delivers a rounder and more refined experience than previous batches. The maturation creates a more integrated balance between sweetness and complexity without losing the characteristic signature style.

Dumbarton 1987/2003 Cadenhead's Authentic Collection 15 Years Single Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky

A red‑brick giant at the meeting of the Leven and Clyde, once home to whisky on a scale few distilleries could match — and guarded by a flock of Chinese geese. That’s the origin of this dram: a rarity from a place that no longer exists.

This is a bottle for the collector who chases the lost. Dumbarton was primarily a massive grain distillery, built in 1938 by Hiram Walker to supply the Ballantine’s blend. But inside the same complex stood a small malt distillery called Inverleven, and it is that malt spirit you find in this bottle. Cadenhead’s — Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, founded in 1842 — chose to label it “Dumbarton” rather than Inverleven, something worth knowing if you search for it in databases or at auction.

It was distilled in 1987 and bottled in March 2003 after 15 years in a single bourbon hogshead. Only 294 bottles came from the cask. The whisky is part of Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection — their series of single‑cask releases, un‑chillfiltered, natural colour, and bottled at full cask strength. This is whisky in its most unfiltered form, and at 58.1% it makes itself known. The Inverleven stills fell silent forever in 1991, and the Dumbarton complex closed in 2002 before being demolished. The stills were moved to Islay, where they now serve Bruichladdich and The Botanist gin. There will be no more whisky like this.

A classic Lowlander in character — light, fresh and grassy rather than heavy or smoky.

Nose: Grassy and fresh, like sitting by a roadside ditch on a summer day. Plenty of citrus and bright fruit.
Palate: Dry and spicy with the warmth of full cask strength. A sweet core beneath the sharpness, with grain and pale fruit.
Finish: Medium length, clean and citrus‑driven. The warmth fades slowly.

Investment potential: Medium. A closed and demolished distillery, single cask, only 294 bottles, and a respected bottler — all factors that push value upward. But Inverleven/Dumbarton does not have the same cult following as the big names, so price growth is driven more by rarity than hype. A bottle that typically trades above its original retail price, but without dramatic spikes.

Did you know? Dumbarton had its own security force: around 100 Chinese geese, introduced in 1959 to guard the warehouses. They became so famous they appeared in Ballantine’s adverts. When the distillery closed, the last seven geese were retired and sent to Glasgow Green.

This rare Dumbarton 23-year-old Single Grain whisky from Dram Mor represents the best of the Lowland region's grain whisky tradition. The Dumbarton distillery, which closed in 2002, was known for its high-quality grain whisky, often used in blends – but here, it is presented as an exclusive single grain in all its glory.

The whisky is bottled at cask strength of 57.1%, delivering an intense and authentic tasting experience without unnecessary dilution.

Tasting profile:
Nose: Creamy vanilla with a hint of cherry pie and sweet, buttery shortcrust pastry.
Palate: Sweet and buttery with an impressive three-dimensional depth for a single grain. Delicate spices bind the flavor together, creating a harmonious balance.
Finish: Warming and more robust than expected – but in the best possible way.

This limited release from Dram Mor is a beautiful example of what 23 years of aging can do for a grain whisky – a true delight for connoisseurs!

1999 was a year when Edradour distilled whisky that, 21 years later, would meet Italian Barolo wine — the result is a discontinued rarity many collectors seek out.

The expert's description

Edradour 1999 Vintage Barolo Cask Finish 21 years old is a Single Highland Malt Whisky finished in Barolo casks and bottled at 54.8%.

The whisky was distilled on 9 August 1999 and, after a long primary maturation, received a finishing period in casks that previously held Barolo, a powerful Italian red wine from Piedmont made from Nebbiolo grapes. The whisky was bottled on 21 October 2020 after 21 years of total maturation and is today a discontinued vintage release.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried cherries and rose petals, with a tannic undercurrent of tar and a hint of fresh malt.

Palate

Dark berries and a lightly bitter tannic grip, where the malt keeps a soft, honeyed base beneath the wine's intensity.

Finish

Long with dry tannins, black pepper and a finish of dark cherries and leather.

Barolo is often called 'the king of wines' in Italy because of its power and ageing potential — qualities that make the cask particularly well suited to finishing older, already complex whiskies like this one.

Bordeaux casks are used more rarely for whisky finishing than sherry and port, because French wine casks are traditionally sold on for other purposes rather than ending up with Scottish distilleries — making this cask type a genuine rarity in Scotch whisky.

There's a quiet confidence to a whisky that's been allowed to rest for 21 years in a single sherry cask. No rush, no shortcuts — just time and good wood.

The expert's description

Edradour 2001/2023 Oloroso Sherry Butt 21 years old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill ex-bourbon hogshead and Oloroso sherry butt and bottled at 52.1%.

The whisky was distilled in 2001 and matured for 21 years, split across cask no. 2413, 2414 and 2504, before being bottled in July 2023. The Oloroso sherry has given the whisky a deep, reddish-brown colour and a rich, nutty sweetness that balances Edradour's light, unpeated character. With 1,919 bottles, this is one of the rarer releases from the distillery's core range.

Tasting notes

Nose

Raisins, walnut and a hint of orange peel sit over a soft malt aroma, with a deep, sherry-dark sweetness underneath.

Palate

Rich and rounded with dried apricot, dark chocolate and a lightly spiced oak. The sherry gives the whisky body without ever drowning out the malt's character.

Finish

Long and warm with lingering notes of dark caramel, walnut shell and a dry, elegant finish.

Long with lingering dark fruit and a dry, elegant finish.

A leap year for the distillation date, twelve years later bottled on the exact same date — there's something pleasingly symmetrical about this Madeira cask maturation from Edradour.

The expert's description

Edradour 2012/2024 Madeira Cask 12 years old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill Madeira hogsheads and bottled at 48.2%.

The whisky was distilled on 29 February 2012 and matured for 12 years across ten 1st fill Madeira casks, numbers 110 to 119, before being bottled on the exact same date in 2024. The Madeira's characteristic, lightly oxidised sweetness has given the whisky a warm, dried fruit character that complements Edradour's light, floral core style nicely. 3,987 bottles were released.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried apricot and caramelised sugar, with a lightly nutty aroma and a hint of honey.

Palate

Soft and rounded with raisin, toasted almonds and a fine acidity that keeps the sweetness fresh.

Finish

Medium length with warm caramel and a dry, lightly spiced finish.

Did you know?

Madeira casks were originally attractive to whisky producers because the heavily fortified wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira could withstand long sea voyages without spoiling — a historical detail that today makes the cask type a sought-after rarity.

Signatory Vintage's Un-Chillfiltered Collection is about showing the whisky as it is — no chill filtration, no unnecessary intervention, just raw character from cask to bottle.

25 years is a long time for a single malt — long enough that a whisky either loses itself in the oak or finds its most complete form. Batch No. 1 is a case for the latter.

The expert's description

Edradour 25 years old Batch No. 1 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill sherry butts and bottled at 54.6%.

As the first batch in this 25-year-old series, the whisky represents the culmination of Edradour's long sherry maturation style. The entire maturation period took place in 1st fill sherry butts, giving the whisky a deep, dark colour and a rich, complex flavour profile with layers of dried fruit and spice that only come with time. Throughout its long history, the distillery has survived both good times and bad — from the early heyday of blended Scotch to periods of shifting ownership — and is today back in independent Scottish hands under Signatory Vintage.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dark chocolate, raisin and toasted walnut, with a deep, sherry-dark sweetness and a hint of old oak.

Palate

Full-bodied and complex with fig, date and a warm spiciness of clove and cinnamon, held up by a firm, well-established malt.

Finish

Very long with lingering dark fruit, leather and a dry, elegant finish.

Edradour has survived both world wars, prohibition-era export crises and several changes of ownership across its nearly 200-year history — and still produces whisky in exactly the same small, handmade way as it did in 1825.

The second release in Ballechin's Madeira Cask number series once again brings sun-warmed cask sweetness together with the distillery's signature peat.

The expert's description

Edradour Ballechin # 2 Madeira Cask is a Single Highland Malt Whisky matured in a Madeira cask and bottled at 46%.

This release is number two in Ballechin's ongoing series of Madeira cask maturations and continues the line from earlier releases in the style. The Madeira cask's warm, lightly oxidised sweetness sits over Ballechin's earthy peat smoke and creates an approachable, yet still characterful whisky at a moderate strength of 46%.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried apricot and caramel, with a lightly earthy smoke and a hint of honey.

Palate

Sweet and rounded with raisin and toasted nuts, before a gentle, warm smoke emerges.

Finish

Medium length with lingering smoke and a dry, lightly sweet finish.

Ballechin's most approachable expression is also one of its most characterful — a solid peated Highland whisky without unnecessary fuss.

The expert's description

Edradour Ballechin 10 years old Peated Cask is a Single Highland Malt Whisky bottled at 46%.

This 10-year-old release is one of the more approachable bottlings in the Ballechin series and serves as a solid introduction to the distillery's peated style. At a moderate strength of 46%, the whisky shows Ballechin's earthy, powerful smoke in an accessible and well-balanced form, without compromising on character.

Tasting notes

Nose

Earthy smoke and fresh malt, with a hint of citrus and a touch of tar.

Palate

Full-bodied smoke meets a soft sweetness of honey and caramel, with a lightly salty undercurrent.

Finish

Medium length with lingering smoke and a dry, spicy finish.

In a green Perthshire valley, Edradour's tiny copper stills have been distilling whisky since 1825. But there's another, smokier side to this quiet farm distillery. Ballechin takes its name from a neighbouring distillery that closed nearly a century ago, and the name now lives on in these heavily peated bottlings.

The expert's description

Edradour Ballechin 13 years old SFTC 2004/2018 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a port cask and bottled at 53.3%.

The whisky belongs to the Straight From The Cask series, where every bottling comes from a single cask with no filtration and no added colour. This particular release was distilled in April 2004 and matured for 13 years in cask no. 199, a port cask that has given the whisky a deep reddish-brown hue and a wine-like sweetness that meets Ballechin's signature peat smoke head-on. The series has long been discontinued, and only 396 bottles were drawn from this one cask.

Tasting notes

Nose

Red berries and dark chocolate arrive first, quickly followed by pecans and damp oak. The port cask lends a sweet, almost wine-like depth that melts into a heavy, earthy peat smoke.

Palate

Strawberries and dark brown sugar sit in layers over the peat, which is present without ever taking over. Spiced oak, caramel and a touch of dried herbs round things off.

Finish

Long and lingering, with flamed orange peel, dark smoke and black pepper, closing on warm spice and a sweetness that takes its time to fade.

SBCS is Ballechin's take on small, hand-picked batches — every batch with its own personality, but always with the same insistent peat underneath.

The expert's description

Edradour Ballechin 15 years old SBCS 2022 1st Release is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 58.9%.

SBCS stands for Small Batch Cask Strength, and this 1st Release is the first bottling in the peated arm of the series. The whisky matured for 15 years, split between 1st fill bourbon barrels and 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts, which gives it both vanilla sweetness and a darker, dried-fruit character. 3,520 bottles were released to the global market.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoked caramel and ripe plums, with a hint of the sherry's nutty depth and a touch of fresh tar.

Palate

Full-bodied and powerful at cask strength, with peat smoke woven together with raisin, dark brown sugar and a slightly bitter cocoa note.

Finish

Long and spicy with lingering smoke, dried figs and a dry, faintly gripping finish.

The expert's description

Edradour Ballechin 15 years old SBCS 2nd Release is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in used bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 58.9%.

As the second release in the Small Batch Cask Strength series, this 15-year-old Ballechin continues the line from the 1st Release, but matured in used 1st fill bourbon barrels and 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts, which gives a slightly more subdued cask influence than an exclusively 1st fill maturation. 3,461 bottles were released to the global market.
