Island

Arran 10 year old is a medium-bodied, citrussy dram that shows an elegance and deftness of touch that belies the distillery's year olduth. Tasting the complexity and assurance of this year oldungster it is difficult to believe that the distillery only opened in 1995. A great achievement.

Released in 2013 to coincide with its sponsoring of a yacht in the Clipper Round the World Race, Old Pulteney Navigator was created to reflect the distillery's rich maritime heritage. It is matured in ex-American bourbon and ex-Spanish sherry casks and bottled at 46%.

Peaty whisky from Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, named after a previous incarnation of the distillery. Maritime and smoky, this rivals some of the Islay drams for power, and the 10 year old balances the intensity of youth with rounded, well-aged spirit.

Scapa Skiren is a 2015 release from the Orkney distillery. Aged in first-fill American oak casks, this is creamy and sweet with notes of tropical fruit and heather.

This lightly smoky whisky from Scapa was aged initially in American oak before being finished in ex-peated-whisky casks. The result is fruity and creamy whisky with notes of peach, vanilla, caramel and soft smoke.

The sixth batch of Arran's 12-year-old cask strength is a combination of first-fill sherry butts, refill sherry hogsheads and first-fill bourbon barrels. Spicy and vanilla-led with the kick that cask-strength whisky gives.

Old Pulteney Clipper commemorates the completion of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race 2013-14, of which the distillery were the sponsors. Aged in both bourbon and sherry casks, this is a classic maritime whisky.

Jura's 'profoundly peated' Prophecy bottlings are released in small batches and are drier, stronger and smokier than the standard Superstition peated IOJ.

New packaging for Tobermory 10 in 2011 and a modern look for this Mull distillery that also produces the peaty Ledaig.
