Scotch Whisky

Glengoyne 21 year old is noticeably deeper than year oldunger expressions, with delicious rich, fruity and oaky notes – the darker colour and long finish are testament to the extra years in the sherry wood.

7.4 is the first virgin-oak-matured release from Octomore. Distilled in 2008 from barley peated to 167ppm, this was aged for seven years in new-oak casks. A sumptuous mix of sweetness, peat smoke and rich spice.

A 2011 release to fill a gap in the rapidly expanding Glendronach range and named for the Parliament of rooks that live in the trees near the distillery. A tasty combination of sherry matured whiskies, both Oloroso and PX, perfect for sherry-heads.

The third of the first three whiskies to appear in Bruichladdich's Cuvee range - Eroica, subtitled 'Oh mensch! Gieb acht! Was spricht die tiefe mitternacht?', the opening line from a song in Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It's an American oak matured whisky finished in Limousin oak that once held brandy.

An old presentation of Cardhu 12 year old which we estimate was bottled sometime in the 1980s.

An old bottling of Glen Elgin 12 year old. Most of the distillery's production is used for blending as it's rarely seen as a single malt. We estimate this bottle dates from the 1980s.

A special bottling to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Glenfiddich's opening, with spirit running from the stills on Christmas day 1887. This was originally a travel retail exclusive released in 2012.

This 19 year old cask-strength edition bursts with fabulously flinty, lemony, seashells-on-the-seashore flavours. This is a truly elemental whisky, perfect for sipping from hip flasks during cold winter walks. 70cl / 50.4% - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A cask-strength 21 year old from Tomatin, a distillery which has really benefited from a bit of brand investment recently, with a packaging facelift and a flurry of highly-regarded new releases. Expect smooth, spicy wood influence and more than a hint of sherry in the mix.
