The Jane Street Collection The Smokey One Woodrow’s of Edinburgh Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 48.5%

The Jane Street Collection The Smokey One from Woodrow’s of Edinburgh is an Islay single malt bottled at 48.5%, created as a tribute to the smoky whisky tradition that has made the island famous. The series is built around clear sensory themes, and The Smoky One is the most uncompromising expression in the collection: a whisky where peat smoke takes centre stage without losing balance, finesse or complexity.

The whisky comes from a undisclosed Islay distillery, selected for its ability to deliver the classic combination of sea salt, peat smoke and deep malt character. Woodrow’s of Edinburgh works as an independent bottler and is known for choosing casks that express both the distillery’s DNA and their own philosophy of producing pure, honest and unadulterated whiskies.

Under a railway arch in Bermondsey, rye whiskey was distilled in London for the first time in over a hundred years. LV-1767 is the result: a small, hand-counted run of bottles named after a distilling dream from 1767 that never quite happened - until now.

Expert's Description

The London Distillery English Rye Whiskey LV-1767 Edition is an English rye whiskey matured in English oak casks and bottled at 54.3% ABV.

The name LV-1767 refers to the Lea Valley Distillery, founded in 1767 and closed in 1903 - until then the last place in London where whisky was distilled. When The London Distillery Company bottled its first rye whiskey in 2018, it marked the first time in more than a hundred years that London could again claim a finished whiskey of its own. The rye was double distilled and filled into new English oak casks for four years, from 2014 to 2018.

Only 251 bottles of this first release exist, each one individually numbered. The distillery, based in a railway arch on Druid Street in Bermondsey, went into administration in 2020 but was revived under new ownership in 2025 - making early releases like this one a small, closed chapter in English whiskey history.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark chocolate and roasted coffee meet a spiced sweetness of cinnamon, stewed peaches and a touch of beeswax.

Palate

Full-bodied and spicy, with rye's characteristic peppery bite carried by the same cinnamon and stone-fruit sweetness found on the nose.

Finish

Long and dry, with white pepper, dark cherry and a late hint of macadamia nut.

Investment Potential

Medium. Only 251 numbered bottles from the distillery's very first release, and the distillery itself stood idle for years after going into administration before finding new owners. That combination of low bottle count and an interrupted production history makes this an interesting bottle for collectors of English whisky.

Did You Know?

The rye for LV-1767 was double distilled rather than single distilled, unlike most American rye whiskeys - a method borrowed from Scotch and Irish tradition that yields a cleaner, more fruit-driven spirit.

Scotland at dawn. Bonnie Brown captured it in her illustration — that soft light, the quiet hour. Macallan has bottled it in a whisky that smells of morning and tastes of everything good the day holds.

Expert description

Macallan A Night on Earth The First Light is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry seasoned oak casks and ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 43%. The bottle is part of Macallan's Night on Earth series, celebrating artistic collaboration — illustrator Bonnie Brown drew the label and gave the whisky its visual language. "The First Light" is the Scottish edition in the series, dedicated to Scotland's morning culture and the particular light that falls across the Speyside region at dawn.

In terms of flavour, it lands in the sweet and fruity corner, with the classic contribution of sherry casks: stewed fruits, caramel and a soft, cake-like sweetness. This is an accessible Macallan — one that doesn't require experience to appreciate.

Tasting notes

Nose

Toasted sweet oak and caramelised marshmallows, with icing sugar and vanilla. Berry compote and Manuka honey add freshness and depth.

Palate

Caramel and baking spices with vanilla ice cream and pavlova. Stone fruits, coconut and Manuka honey in a soft, rounded texture.

Finish

Sweet and fruity with mellow spice and toasted oak that linger.

Two landscapes, one Scottish and one Swedish, meet in a single glass. The Sandebud is Adelphi's own experiment: a blended malt where a spirit from their own Ardnamurchan distillery marries a spirit from Sweden's High Coast.

The Expert's Description

The Sandebud by Adelphi is a Blended Malt Whisky combining Ardnamurchan and High Coast, bottled at 58.9%.

Adelphi owns the Ardnamurchan distillery, the westernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, and with The Sandebud has paired a spirit from there with a spirit from Sweden's High Coast. The result is an unusual fusion that bridges two landscapes and two distilling traditions in one bottle.

The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and with 1,136 bottles it is the most accessible of Adelphi's special series, without compromising the cask-strength intensity the bottler is known for.

Tasting Notes

Nose

A combination of freshly cut oak and a hint of smoke, hinting at the two spirits' different origins.

Palate

Full-bodied and complex with caramel, malt and a light salty, maritime undercurrent that ties the two styles together.

Finish

Long and warm with a dry, smoky close that lingers for a good while.

2020. A good year for rye in Thy. The Whisky Trail chose to bottle it and put a year on it. Here is the result – a vintage rye whisky from one of Denmark's most locally rooted distilleries.

Expert description

The Whisky Trail Thy Whisky 2020 Vintage is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 50.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled in 2020 from certified organic rye at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland and bottled by The Whisky Trail – a respected bottler focused on exceptional distillate releases from Scandinavian and European distilleries. The 2020 vintage stamp places this as a specific harvest from that year.

Bottling with a year gives the whisky a traceability and identity anchor that anonymous releases lack. The rye from 2020 is now a whisky that speaks from a specific place and a specific time in Thy Whisky's history.

The Whisky Trail Westland Distillery Multi Vintage American Single Malt Whiskey 70 cl 56.5% from Elixir Distillers

This bottling is part of The Whisky Trail series from Elixir Distillers, selected by Sukhinder Singh, and represents a distinctive expression from Westland Distillery in Seattle, USA – a distillery that since 2011 has been a pioneer in the category of American Single Malt.

Westland produces its whisky in Seattle’s warehouse district, SoDo, but matures it in Skagit Valley, surrounded by the magnificent Pacific Northwest landscape. The distillery has specialized in American Single Malt, which today is officially recognized as a separate category.

Distilled: 2014 & 2016
Bottled: 2025
Maturation: 1st fill bourbon casks and 2nd fill American whiskey casks
ABV: 56.5%
Small batch: 4 casks
Number of bottles: 817 – a limited release with clear collector appeal.

The whisky combines the intensity of bourbon casks with layers of vanilla, caramel, and spiced oak. The 2nd fill American whiskey casks add depth and complexity, while the distillery’s malt character provides a rich, full-bodied base with notes of dark fruit and chocolate. The high strength of 56.5% emphasizes both power and elegance, making it well-suited for enthusiasts seeking intensity and depth.

With only 817 bottles, this is an exclusive release that showcases Westland’s ability to craft whiskies with both American identity and international quality. It is an ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts who want to explore the growing category of American Single Malt. Listen to our Podcast about Elixir Distillers.

In an old wireworks beside the River Derwent, surrounded by Derbyshire's UNESCO-listed industrial heritage, White Peak Distillery brews and distils a malt that borrows as much from brewing craft as from whisky tradition. This bottling was selected by Sukhinder Singh for Elixir Distillers' series The Whisky Trail and shows the distillery's style as it stood in its early years.

Expert's Description

The Whisky Trail White Peak Distillery 2018 Vintage is a Single Malt English Whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks and bottled at 52.4%.

White Peak Distillery was founded in 2016 by husband and wife Max and Claire Vaughan in the former Johnson & Nephew wireworks in Ambergate, within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The distillery ferments with both brewer's yeast from local brewer Thornbridge and traditional distiller's yeast, and part of the mash is made from lightly peated malt, giving the spirit a discreet smoky undertone beneath its fresh, fruity core. This bottling was distilled in 2018, bottled in 2025 from a small batch of four first fill bourbon casks, and is limited to 1,254 bottles.

The Whisky Trail is part of Elixir Trails, where Sukhinder Singh — co-founder of Elixir Distillers and one of the whisky world's most respected bottlers — selects single distilleries for their craft and character rather than name or hype.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose offers vanilla and soft caramel from the bourbon cask, backed by a faint smoky undertone and fresh apples.

Palate

The palate is fruity with ripe pear and citrus peel, while a soft malty sweetness and a hint of smoke add depth without taking over.

Finish

The finish is medium in length and spiced, with a final trace of wood smoke and vanilla powder.

One day there was no Thornæs 1st Release. Then there was. That is how it feels with the first bottles from a new distillery – and Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand's 1st Release is exactly that: the beginning.

Expert description

Thornæs 1st Release is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.9% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. It is the distillery's very first official whisky release – the historic bottle that marks the moment a distillery goes from being new to having a history. Thornæs is an organic distillery in North Zealand working with local ingredients and small batch production. The 1st Release came in 50 cl at 50.9% – a clean, naturally bottled expression from the first casks. As a 1st Release, the bottle is now historic for everyone following Danish whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and organic with the clear North Zealand distillate at the centre. Lightly fruity with the imprint of organic grain and early maturation.

Palate

50.9% gives body and weight. The early maturation is noticeable, but the distillate quality is clear – clean, fruity and with potential for what comes after in the distillery's future releases.

Finish

Fresh and relatively short – a young distillery's signature rather than long maturation.

Investment potential

High. A 1st Release from a distillery is by definition a rare historic bottle – there is no second first release. Thornæs 1st Release is the bottle that marks the start of an organic Danish distillery, and it is no longer in production.

Did you know?

First releases from new distilleries tend to rise in collector value over time – not necessarily because the whisky is the best bottle the distillery will ever make, but because they represent a unique historic moment. Thornæs 1st Release is the very concrete proof that one day, organic whisky started being distilled in North Zealand.

Did you know?

Thornæs 2nd Release came just three years after distillation. That is a short maturation period for whisky – but for a young Danish distillery, the first releases are more about showing what the style is than delivering a fully matured expression. The 2nd Release is a historical document from Thornæs's early years.

Chestnut is not the first wood you think of in a whisky context. But Thornæs Distillery from North Zealand has made it work in their favour: Chestnut Double Cask combines the chestnut cask with another cask type for an organic Danish expression at 49.4%.

Expert description

Thornæs Chestnut Double Cask is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49.4% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky has been matured in chestnut casks as part of a double cask process – a combination of two cask types that is rare in Danish whisky. Chestnut casks are traditionally used for wine in southern Europe and give notes of warm nutty spiciness and a fresh, natural fruitiness. Thornæs is an organic distillery in North Zealand producing small batch single malt whisky with a focus on local ingredients.

Tasting notes

Nose

Warm nuts and light fruitiness from the chestnut cask. A fresh, somewhat unconventional and interesting nose with grain base from the organic malt.

Palate

Round and soft at 49.4% with the chestnut cask's natural nutty spiciness and a light sweetness. The double cask maturation adds complexity and a slightly fruity dimension.

Finish

Medium long with warm nutty character and a fresh, light close.

Did you know?

Chestnut casks are far rarer in whisky than oak, sherry or bourbon. They are used primarily in Spain, France and Italy for wine and brandy – and give a natural spiciness and nutty character that differs markedly from oak. Thornæs is one of the few Danish distilleries experimenting with chestnut casks in a double cask context.
