On the small island of Inchmurrin in the middle of Loch Lomond lies the name for one of the distillery's most fruit-forward styles. 18 years in cask has given this expression a depth of nuts, spice and ripe apple that surprises those expecting a light summer whisky.

Expert's Description

Inchmurrin 18 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in oak casks and bottled at 46%.

Inchmurrin is distilled on Loch Lomond's straight neck Lomond still, which captures the spirit at an unusually high strength of around 83-85%, giving it a highly fruity character reinforced by an extra-long fermentation. After 18 years in cask, the whisky has developed a depth of nuts, dried fruit and spice, building on the distillate's natural fruitiness.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Hob nobs and whole grain biscuits, cinnamon bark and caramel-coated almonds and hazelnuts, with overripe orange and a hint of mint.

Palate

Green grass and herby notes meet black pepper, old leather and caramel, with tropical fruit and tobacco.

Finish

Long, warming finish with spice and liquorice, drying oak and caramel.

Madeira casks often give whisky a sun-soaked, fruity glow, and with Inchmurrin it turns into a feast of red berries and spiced chocolate. This expression shows just how far the distillery's fruity style can be stretched with the right cask.

Expert's Description

Inchmurrin Madeira Wood Finish is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks with a Madeira finish and bottled at 46%.

The whisky is first matured in ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to casks that previously held Madeira – a fortified wine from the Portuguese island of the same name. The finish gives the whisky its signature fullness of red berries, chocolate and spice, without ever drowning Inchmurrin's natural fruitiness. The whisky is non-chill filtered.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright and sweet with light smoke, orange, mango and toffee, plus a dusty fruitiness of red berries and fortified wine.

Palate

Dark and full with charred wood, cinnamon and coffee cake, along with chocolate confectionery filled with red berries and creamy vanilla.

Finish

Intense finish of smoke and roasted chestnuts, with lingering black pepper and a touch of liquorice.

Grain whisky is usually matured for a shorter time than malt whisky, because its fuller corn sweetness can be overwhelmed by too much oak — holding its balance for 33 years is unusual.

Ireland's first commercial liqueur was born as a solution to a surplus problem at a whiskey distillery.

Expert description

Irish Mist Honey Liqueur is an Irish whiskey liqueur, bottled at 35%, based on a blend of Irish whiskey, honey and natural aromatic spices. The liqueur is considered the first commercial liqueur produced in Ireland, with commercial production beginning in 1947 in Tullamore, County Offaly. The recipe originated as an idea from Desmond Williams, grandson of the founder of the Tullamore Dew whiskey company, as a way to economically use up the company's surplus whiskey stock. The recipe draws on an ancient tradition of heather wine dating back over 1,000 years. The company was renamed the Irish Mist Liqueur Company in 1953, and distilling in Tullamore ceased the following year. The brand has since changed hands several times, from Cantrell & Cochrane in 1985, to William Grant & Sons in 2010 alongside Tullamore D.E.W. and Carolans, and most recently to Heaven Hill in 2017.

Tasting notes

Nose

The nose offers honey, whiskey and a hint of spice.

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.

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.

The combination creates a rounded, fruity whisky with broad appeal. EAN: 5712631000087.

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.

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.

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.

The Danish fleet was lost in 1807. The answer: plant oak so we have timber for new ships. Those oak trees are now whisky casks at Nyborg Distillery – and the fleet's revenge is a Danish single malt in 65 bottles.

Expert description

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. Distilled in 2011 and 2013 and bottled in December 2020 in 65 bottles. The cask journey is three-stage: first maturation on bourbon casks, then a boost on virgin casks of Danish fleet oak from Erholm Estate in Funen, and finally a finish on a 50-litre STR cask. 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.

Finish

Long with lingering oak tannin and warm, cherry-rich fruit sweetness.

Did you know?

The virgin Danish oak casks in The Admiral's Revenge were made from trees at Erholm Estate – planted under a royal decree following the Napoleonic Wars of 1807-09, when Denmark lost its fleet. The trees were intended to become new warships. Instead they became whisky casks. That historical circle is what makes The Admiral's Revenge more than just a good glass.
