Hazelburn is Springbank's quiet third voice - no smoke, triple distilled, and a softness that surprises those who only know the distillery's other two styles. This release was bottled in a small number, exclusively for the Danish market.

Expert Description

Hazelburn 10 Year Old Marsala Cask Denmark is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, finished in Marsala casks and bottled at 58.8%.

Hazelburn is one of the three styles produced at Springbank Distillery, standing apart by being triple distilled and entirely unpeated - an unusual combination in Campbeltown that gives a lighter, more refined whisky than its smoky siblings. This 10 year old was distilled in June 2007 and bottled in May 2018, after which a Marsala cask finish added sweetness and body that pairs well with Hazelburn's fresh core character. Only 258 bottles were released for the Danish market via Juuls Vinhandel.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Light caramel and strawberry jam meet almost overripe citrus, patisserie pastry and a touch of vanilla.

Palate

Vanilla and cask notes blend with red berries in a creamy, almost viscous style that pairs beautifully with the high strength.

Finish

Soft and round, with a lingering sweetness of berries and pastry that slowly gives way to a dry, lightly spiced close.

The bottle's 24 facets symbolise Japan's 24 traditional micro-seasons - a detail that says almost as much about Hibiki as the whisky itself.

Expert Description

Hibiki Harmony is a Blended Whisky from Japan, bottled at 43%.

Hibiki means "harmony" or "resonance" in Japanese, and the Harmony expression combines malt and grain whisky from Suntory's three distilleries - Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita - including whisky matured in Japanese mizunara oak. The result is a soft, floral, gently sweet style that has become Hibiki's best-known release internationally.

Tasting Notes

Nose

White flowers and honey with a light mizunara sweetness and ripe apricot.

Palate

Soft and round with white chocolate, honey and a fine spice.

Alex Bruce and Charles MacLean taste their way through dozens of casks before just one earns the right to carry the Adelphi name. This 8-year-old bourbon cask from High Coast was among the chosen few, bottled at full cask strength of 62.3%.

The Expert's Description

High Coast 2012/2021 Adelphi Selection is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and bottled at 62.3%.

The whisky was distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2021 after nine years of maturation in cask #397, selected by Adelphi's long-standing team around Alex Bruce and renowned whisky writer Charles MacLean. The pair routinely taste through dozens of casks from distilleries such as High Coast, and fewer than 4% pass the test to be bottled under the Adelphi name.

The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and the full cask strength delivers an intense expression of High Coast's signature style, shaped by the sharp temperature swings by the Ångermanälven river.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Powerful and direct with notes of vanilla, coconut and freshly cut oak, carried by the high strength.

Palate

Intense and full-bodied with caramel, toasted nuts and a touch of spiced ginger that holds its balance despite the strength.

Finish

Long and warm with lingering notes of vanilla and toasted cask that ring out for a good while.

By the icy waters of the Ångermanälven river in northern Sweden stands one of the world's northernmost distilleries. This ten-year-old comes from a single sherry cask, selected by independent bottler Adelphi Selection, with only 320 bottles in existence.

The Expert's Description

High Coast 2013/2024 Adelphi Selection is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask and bottled at 57.1%.

High Coast Distillery, formerly known as Box, sits by the Ångermanälven river in northern Sweden, where sharp temperature swings drive a fast and intense maturation. The distillery uses both Swedish lager malt and peated malt imported from Scotland, striking a balance between Nordic finesse and classic whisky character.

This release was distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2024 after ten years of maturation in cask #1527, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask selected by Adelphi Selection's team for its series of independent bottlings. The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich aromas of chocolate, dried fruit and toasted nuts, combined with a touch of smoke and spice.

Complex and full-bodied with notes of coffee, chocolate-coated raisins and malted grain, balanced by a subtle smoky character from the malting.

The distillery changed its name from Box to High Coast to celebrate the nearby UNESCO World Heritage coastline, Höga Kusten. The region's extreme temperature swings make the whisky mature faster than in many other climates.

A classic has had a fresh coat of paint. Highland Park 12 Years Old remains the distillery's most accessible dram, but in 2024 it got both a new design and a polished profile that still holds the same balance of sweetness and smoke that made it a fixture.

Expert Description

Highland Park 12 Years Old (2024 Re-Design) is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks and bottled at 40%.

The whisky is a masterful balancing act between sweetness and smoke, with vivid notes of Seville oranges and heather honey unfolding into layers of spiced fruitcake, before finishing with a gentle touch of Orcadian peat smoke.

A jar, not a bottle. Highland Park drew on the Vikings' own clay vessels and cast a 15-year-old whisky into ceramic — hard on the outside, warm within, just like the islands it comes from.

Expert Description

Highland Park 15 Year Old Viking Heart is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks and bottled at 44%.

The Viking Heart series is Highland Park's tribute to Orkney's Norse heritage, and this 15-year-old expression is bottled in ceramic rather than glass — a nod to the clay vessels the Vikings themselves used for storage. The whisky is composed by master blender Gordon Motion from a combination of first-fill European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks alongside older refill casks.

The result builds on Highland Park's classic 15-year-old character, with an extra layer of sherry richness from the selected casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Heather blossom and a light veil of smoke meet dried apricot and a hint of honey, with sherried nuts sitting quietly in the background.

Palate

Soft and rounded, with caramel, toasted almonds and a warm, spiced peat that never takes over.

Before new designs and new cask combinations, there was this 15-year-old expression of Highland Park, as it looked when it was first introduced as an exclusive release back in 2003. A taste of how the distillery's style once was, before it evolved further.

Expert Description

Today this exact edition is discontinued and replaced by newer versions, making it an interesting glimpse into how Highland Park tasted for an earlier generation.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Aromatic smokiness with a hint of camphor, backed by fresh citrus notes and a light floral scent.
