This is one of only a handful of bottlings done by Adelphi from the Arran (Lochranza) distillery, selected from an ex-Refill Oloroso Hogshead. A rich profile of butterscotch, turkish delight and figs joins fragrant notes of lavender, turkish delight and ginger beer. Brown sugar and buttery tones com...

While the exact origin of this undisclosed Speyside whisky could come from one of four distilleries that begin with 'M', it is widely suggested that this comes from one that rhymes with Magellan. Batch #16 is selected from first and 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts, offering a richly honeyed profile wi...

A dark, brooding dram from an undisclosed distillery in Speyside, with a skunky, old-school vibe full of dark chocolate, raisin and walnut flavours. Opening with an old-fashioned rum style, it is distinctly savoury to start - with ox-tail soup, tangy tomato and maple bacon joining plenty of chocolat...

Staoisha is the name given to the heavily peated spirit distilled at Bunnahabhain distillery. This single cask expression from North Star Spirits has been matured for eleven years in a single refil Hogshead cask. There are notes of smoky burnt hot chocolate, salted pecan pie and wafts of peat with w...

Firm, fruity and fun! A terrific mix of exotic fruit notes, grasses, oils, waxes, cereals and citrus curds. Gelatinous and superbly drinkable.

An eclectic mix of aromas followed by chocolate kelp cake. Diluted, quince and rosemary-glazed lamb with caramelised onion mashed potatoes.

A stunning and multilayered fusion of dark sherry and sweet peat; mouth-coating, profoundly complex and beautiful – a bottle won't last long.

Madeira cake came dipped in molten white chocolate and sprinkled with chunks of glacé cherries. Water brought sugar cane, lemon juice and pears.

Amid the wax-polished mahogany and marmalade on hot cross buns, the carpenter mixed cocktail bitters and grapefruit with gentian apéritif.

Do not be deceived by the intriguing nose, this is a no-holds-barred peat monster that's akin to munching a tar bucket deep fried in disinfectant.

Honey, marzipan, marmalade, fruit candies and stewed apple are joined by aromatic hints of apple blossom, waxed jackets and soft kid gloves.

A new bottling from Pokeno distillery, this expression has been fully matured in six cask types, PX sherry Hogshead and Butts, light and medium toasted Virgin oak Barrels and Twany and Ruby Port Barriques. 60% of the spirit was matured in PX casks, 20% in Port casks and 20% in Virgin Oak casks.There...

Lemon drizzle cake, marshmallows and quince jelly joined roses, lavender and white chocolate before shortbread combined with kiwis and pine.

This new Tormore is very much an after dinner dram, coming from a combination of first fill ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts and ex-Bourbon barrels, with each of the cask types contributing different flavours during maturation. Opening with dessicated coconut and aromatic vanilla pods, this is very much an a...

Another simply cracking Mortlach from Signatory, aged for 17 years in total, including a final maturation in an first fill ex-Oloroso sherry butt. A sister cask to a previous release we've had, this carries the same signature of rich fruit puddings, layers of Christmas spices and dried fruits smothe...

The latest release in Signatory's excellent 100 Proof series includes this Mortlach, distilled in 2013 and matured for 11 years. A rich flavour of stewed dried fruits can be found, with vanilla filled apricot tarts and malt bread drizzled with honey. Umami (savoury) and nutty flavours come come thro...

Matured for 16 years, this Craigellachie is the latest of Signatory's 'Exceptional Cask' series of limited edition, small-batch releases. Craigellachie's weighty spirit can stand up to the very strong wood influence of the casks, with an earthy slightly sulphurous edge. Powerfully woody, the sherry...

In light of their 200th anniversary, 1821 sequentially numbered bottles have been created from a selection of Wolfburn's finest casks: first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads, with a special addition of whisky from their very first cask, filled back in January 2013. On the nose we get figs and apricots...

Batch 12 of GlenAllachie's Cask Strength series is now available, a classic expression of the distillery's cask-forward style. A powerful aroma of rich sherry casks - honey-drenched figs, red berries and molasses are carried on a background of chocolate and hazelnut. The palate is incredibly dense a...

Available only once a year and in very limited quantities, GlenAllachie's 21 year old release is chosen from a small number of ex-PX and ex-Oloroso sherry casks by the distillery's owner, Billy Walker. As is typical for this age, there is a rich layering of flavours - cherries, honeycomb and spiced...

The 2025 release of Meikle Toir 'Turbo' from GlenAllachie was made using super-heavily-peated barley at a searing 72 PPM. Selected from a combination of five American virgin oak casks and four Oloroso hogsheads, this is not just liquid peat, the distillery character remains, with heather honey, butt...

This bottling from Ben Nevis distillery was selected by Cadenhead from a parcel of ex Bourbon Hogsheads. Big on distillate character, there is an abundance of fruity notes with underlying malty sweetness. The nose opens up with sweet spiced apple strudel, dusted with lashings of icing sugar. white g...

Selected from just one cask at the oldest licensed distillery in Scotland, this Glenturret 35 year old comes in a bespoke wooden presentation case and a Lalique designed crystal decanter. Over 3 and a half decades, this European oak ex-sherry cask has developed an intensely rich, fruity and complex...
