Invergordon 2017 Little Brown Dog 7 Years Small Batch High Rye Scottish Spirits 70 cl 58.8%

This release needs a bit of background to fully understand its uniqueness. For everyone except SDVS and the SWA, this would essentially be considered a Scottish bourbon. The spirit was created at Invergordon by an American bourbon producer who was instructed to do everything exactly as they would in the United States. And they did – down to the smallest detail.

Here we encounter a classic example of how legislation can shape the identity of a spirit. During fermentation, enzymes were added to increase yield, a completely normal practice in American bourbon production but not permitted in Scotch whisky. As a result, this spirit can be classified neither as bourbon nor as single grain Scotch. Instead, it has been labelled High Rye Scottish Spirit Drink – high rye due to the mash bill, and because its style and character sit much closer to bourbon than to rye whisky.

A small nod to its American soul appears on the label, where bourbon biscuits are subtly referenced in the background.

Why LBD chose to bottle it
Because they are nerds. Because the diversity of the whisky world is wonderful. And because this spirit tells a story that few would dare to release. It challenges the boundaries of how rules and traditions define a category – and shows how exciting things become when you explore the grey areas.

LBD knows their customers share the same curiosity and understanding of the process. And most importantly: the liquid is excellent. This is a rare opportunity to taste what a bourbon‑inspired spirit, distilled in Scotland, can actually be like – and at a very attractive price.

Invergordon 25 years The Sovereign Single Grain Scotch Whisky 42%

The icebergs drifting south from Greenland's coast carry water locked in place since long before the industrial age. Isfjord has built a Danish single malt around that water — clean, unpeated, with a quiet depth from sherry casks.

Expert description

Isfjord Premium Arctic #1 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 42%, bottled at 50 cl, distilled at Braunstein Distillery in Køge, Denmark, and matured in Oloroso sherry casks. Braunstein, founded in 2005, is one of Denmark's most experienced whisky producers and the technical backbone of the Isfjord range. But the defining ingredient is the water — thousands of years old, calved from the glaciers near Ilulissat, Greenland, and remarkably free of modern contaminants. Release No. 1 is the unpeated expression in the series. The Oloroso sherry casks add natural sweetness and depth, with dark fruit, honey and a hint of chocolate shaping the character.

Tasting notes

Nose

Honey and vanilla with gentle orange notes. A faint nuttiness and soft wood from the sherry casks.

Palate

Smooth and rounded. Toffee and ripe berries, with a touch of dark chocolate from the Oloroso cask.

Finish

Medium length and warm. The sherry sweetness lingers before fading gently with a light spice.

Did you know?

The icebergs Isfjord harvest their water from have been frozen since before modern industrialisation began. That means the water is free of contemporary pollutants — one of the key reasons Isfjord markets it as some of the world's purest water for whisky production.

Peat from Scottish moorlands, water from Greenlandic glaciers, a distillery in Køge. Isfjord #2 is a cross-continental encounter — lightly smoked, matured in new oak, and built on the purity of Arctic water.

Expert description

Isfjord Premium Arctic #2 is a lightly peated Danish Single Malt Whisky at 42%, bottled at 50 cl, distilled at Braunstein Distillery in Køge, Denmark, and matured in new American oak casks. Like #1, it is built around Arctic iceberg water from the glaciers near Ilulissat, Greenland — thousands of years old and free of modern contaminants. The difference lies in the malt and the cask: #2 uses lightly peated malt and is matured in new oak, which contributes fresh vanilla and coconut notes along with structure and tannins. The peat level is enough to define the character without overpowering it.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoke and fresh oak with light fruity notes. Vanilla sweetness mingles with a hint of sea salt and herbs.

Palate

Gentle smoke, light pepper and a touch of citrus. The new oak adds structure and dry tannins.

Finish

Medium length with lingering, mild smoke and dry wood notes. Clean and precise.

Cask No 1. Few bottlings in the world carry that weight. The very first cask from Nyborg Distillery – bottled at 58% while the distillery was still based at Ørbæk Brewery. This is the beginning.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Cask No 1 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 58% from the very first cask ever produced at Nyborg Distillery. Made during the Ørbæk era – before the Isle of Fionia brand, before the train depot in Nyborg, before Distillery of the Year 2025. It is the distillery's birth certificate in a bottle. A bottling that combines the historic early Ørbæk character of the organic Funen distillate with the simple, direct expression of a cask from the very first days. A concluded moment in Danish whisky's timeline.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clean and fresh organic base. Light fruitiness with peach and gentle citrus notes. Light sweetness from the cask. A nose that reflects young, clean organic distillate.

Palate

Clear and direct at 58%. Fresh grain notes, light fruit and a delicate sweetness from the cask. Simple and authentic – a distillate character in its original form.

Finish

Clean and fresh with a shorter, direct close. The pure distillate speaks for itself.

High. Cask No 1 is the very first cask from Nyborg Distillery – a distillery that has since won Distillery of the Year 2025. The historical singularity and the past frozen in the bottle make it an extraordinary collector's piece.

Did you know?

When Nyborg Distillery first opened its doors at Ørbæk Brewery, nobody knew what would come of it. Cask No 1 is the result of the very first batches. The fact that this distillery has since won Distillery of the Year 2025 gives Cask No 1 a historical dimension that very few bottlings will ever achieve.

In the old train depot in Nyborg, Funen, where freight wagons once waited, a distillery now makes whisky. Isle of Fionia Little Isle is where that story begins – gentle, fruity and matured in three very different cask types.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Little Isle is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 43%. Distilled at Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in Nyborg, Funen, Little Isle is the primary entry into the distillery’s range. The whisky is matured in three cask types: first fill Bourbon casks, Port wine casks and STR casks – white oak casks that have been Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred to maximise cask influence without harsh tannins. The combination creates a rounded, fruity whisky with broad appeal. EAN: 5712631000087.

Tasting notes

Nose

Soft and inviting with vanilla, light honey and ripe fruit. Peach and apricot from the Bourbon cask, a hint of dark berry from the Port wine cask and a warm vanilla-wood note from the STR cask.

Palate

Round and approachable with enveloping fruit sweetness, light oak and a whisper of warm spice. The broad cask combination makes for a whisky that comes at you from all sides at once.

Finish

Medium length with a light warm oak note and a fruity-sweet fade.

Smoke and raw power. Isle of Fionia Peated Black is not for the cautious. A young organic peated Danish Single Malt Whisky at 61% that shows what medium peated malt can do when you don't hide it behind years and years in cask.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Peated Black is an organic peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 61% from Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in Nyborg, Funen. Made from medium peated organic malt, delivering a pleasant but distinct smoky character. The whisky was first matured on used Jack Daniels bourbon casks and then partially finished on STR white oak wine casks. STR treatment – Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred – opens the cask back up, adding extra sweetness and fruity complexity. Bottled at 61% without dilution.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clear and expressive smoke from the peated malt kernels, combined with fruity sweetness from the bourbon cask and a light winey note from the STR finish. An explosive and direct nose.

Palate

Powerful smoke that stays clear and clean at 61%. A fruitiness walks hand in hand with the smoke – this is not the typical Islay iodine style but a cleaner, more malt-based smoke. The warm strength amplifies both smoke and spice.

Finish

Long and persistent with smoke as the dominant note. A light fruity sweetness from the casks settles in as a gentle contrast in the long close.

Did you know?

STR casks – Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred – are a technique that gives used wine casks a new lease of life. The surface is shaved, toasted and re-charred so the cask can contribute fresh flavours again. It is a clever method for extracting complexity from casks that would otherwise have exhausted their potential.

Denmark is not the first country that comes to mind when the talk turns to peated single malt. But Isle of Fionia Peated is here to change that – medium-peated organic malt, Bourbon casks from Tennessee and a touch of white oak. Something entirely its own.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Peated is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 48%. Distilled at Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, Funen, the whisky is made from medium-peated organic malt that gives a noticeable but not overwhelming smoke character. Cask-wise, it has primarily rested in Jack Daniels Bourbon casks with a partial finish in STR white oak casks – Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred. A young, characterful whisky with smoke up front and Bourbon sweetness as its counterpart. EAN: 5712631000216.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clear and inviting with light medicinal smoke – less Islay, more coastal Danish. Behind it: vanilla and caramel from the Jack Daniels casks and a fresh nose of organic malt.

Palate

Young smoke upfront with good body for its age. The Bourbon cask sweetness pushes through – vanilla caramel and dark wood – while the smoke holds its ground. The STR casks give a woody, spiced finish.

Finish

Medium to long with a lingering smoke note and warm oak bitterness at the base.

Unlike many Scottish peated whiskies that use peat from specific Scottish bogs, Isle of Fionia peats their malt with Danish or European peat. This gives a slightly different smoke character – more earthy and less medicinal than a classic Islay.

Saudade is the Portuguese word for a melancholic longing for something you may never have had – or will never have again. Isle of Fionia Saudade 12 Year is a Danish single malt that has had time to become something. Twelve years. That shows.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Saudade 12 Year is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 52% as part of the Adventurous Spirit series from Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery. With 12 years of maturation, Saudade is one of the oldest releases from the distillery and proof that Danish whisky can stretch. Made from 100% organic barley, distilled in copper pot stills and bottled at a strength reflecting the full maturity of the cask. EAN: 5712631000230.

Tasting notes

Nose

Mature and aged with a complexity that takes time to unfold. Dark fruit, oak and a layer of warm vanilla and dry nougat. A wistfully soft character.

Palate

Deep and full-bodied with 12 years of cask and malt integration. Ripe fruit nuances – plums, dried figs – with an elegant dry oak spiciness. It moves slowly and deliberately across the palate.

Finish

Long and meditative with lingering dark fruit, warm oak and a discreet bitter note in the very tail of the close.

Did you know?

Saudade is a Portuguese concept that cannot be directly translated – it describes a deep, melancholic longing for something distant or lost. It is no coincidence that Isle of Fionia chose this name for their oldest whisky: 12 years of waiting is also a kind of saudade.

Sjæl means soul in Danish. When organic Danish malt meets a cask full of Pedro Ximénez sherry, something happens that goes beyond the technical. A whisky that tastes like it means it.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Sjæl PX Cask Finish is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Distilled at Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, Funen, the whisky first matured in ex-Bourbon casks before undergoing a finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. PX sherry is one of the densest and sweetest sherry styles, produced from semi-dried grapes, and its casks leave a deep sweetness of raisins, figs and dark chocolate in the whisky. Bottling without chill filtration preserves the natural fatty acids that give body and a slight haze.

Tasting notes

Nose

Deep and sweet with a clear layer of PX sherry: dark raisins, plums and a hint of dark chocolate. Underneath lies the Bourbon sweetness from the first casks – vanilla and caramel.

Palate

Full-bodied and persistent with concentrated fruit sweetness. Figs, dates, slowly drifting orange peel and a warm, lightly tannic finish from the oak. The body is elegantly heavy.

Finish

Long and sweet with lingering notes of dark fruit and a discreet spiciness that slowly fades.

Isle of Fionia The Admiral's Revenge is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.1% as part of the Adventurous Spirit series from Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery.

The intense cask character of virgin Danish oak – with powerful tannins and intense oak notes – is central to this whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Prominent oak cask notes – tannins, vanilla and powerful oak from the virgin Danish oak. Cherry and ripe red fruits layer beautifully over the intense cask base.

Palate

Powerful and expressive at 50.1% with the virgin Danish oak in the lead. Intense oak notes, vanilla and cherry go hand in hand. The STR finish adds fruity sweetness as a gentle counterpoint. A drop of water is recommended.

Jura 21 Year 200th Anniversary Single Jura Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 44%

Jura 21 Year Anniversary Whisky is a special edition created to mark the 200th anniversary of the Jura distillery. It was launched in 2010 and represents both the distillery’s history and its ability to craft complex and elegant whiskies. Jura is located on the small island of the same name, known for its harsh climate and dramatic landscape, and it is precisely these conditions that have helped shape the whisky. This anniversary edition has been matured for a full 21 years, giving it a depth and maturity that can only be achieved through long patience.

The flavor profile is rich and nuanced. On the nose, you encounter sweet notes of honey, toffee, and nougat, accompanied by a hint of nuts and malt. There is a soft and inviting aroma, balanced by freshness from citrus and a light touch of spice. On the palate, the whisky unfolds in layers of taste. Fruity tones of cherry, rhubarb, and dried berries blend with spices such as cardamom and saffron. At the same time, a deeper dimension emerges with licorice, walnuts, peanuts, and bitter chocolate. It has a full-bodied and almost wine-like character, thanks to finishing in sherry casks, including a special Gonzalez Byass Oloroso sherry cask from 1963, which adds unique complexity.

The finish is medium to long, leaving impressions of marzipan, bitter chocolate, and a touch of oak. There is a balance between sweetness and bitterness, making it both elegant and memorable. Jura 21 Year Anniversary is not just a whisky but a piece of history in liquid form. It was created to celebrate the distillery’s heritage and to be enjoyed slowly, allowing one to immerse in its many layers. It is also a highly sought-after bottle among collectors, as it was only released for the anniversary and is no longer in production.
