Island

The second Tastival bottling from Isle of Jura was released for the eponymous festival which coincides with neighbouring Islay's Feis Ile. Distilled in 1997, it has been matured in ex-sparkling-wine casks from the Loire Valley's Bouvet Ladubay. Rich and fruity with notes of cherries, marzipan and liquorice.

The 2016 re-release of the much-missed Highland Park 15 Year Old. Aged in sherry casks, this is rich and initially sweet before a dry smokiness comes to the fore.

Jura's Tastival bottling for 2016 combines three whiskies aged in different types of sherry cask – Palomino Fino, Amoroso and Apostoles. The youngest whisky in the blend is 14 years old and the result is a whisky with notes of vanilla, apple, white flowers, maple syrup and roasted hazelnut.

Made with some of the first peated spirit to be produced at Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull in 1996, this has been aged for just under two decades, including a finishing period in ex-oloroso sherry casks. A wonderful mix of spice, smoke and sweetness.

Part of Ledaig's limited releases is this 19-year-old Marsala finish. Produced at Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull, this peated whisky has notes of citrus, grape, toffee and dark chocolate.

An official bottling of 12 year old Highland Park in the distillery's dumpy bottle. In 1979, the owners invested in marketing the single malt, which led to a massive increase in sales at the time this bottle would have been released.

Please welcome the 2011 entry into the ranks of superb Talisker 25 year olds. Where previous version of Tally 25 year old have been released at fullstrength, 2011's edition is the first to be bottled from refill casks at Talisker's traditional strength of 45.8% (80 proof) with a slightly larger outturn than usual to let more people join in on the fun.

A rare old late 1980s Connoisseurs Choice bottling of 1973 Ledaig, from when Tobermory's peaty spirit was highly sought-after.

A beautiful (and very rare) Talisker 12 year old, bottled at 43% at some point in the 1980s before they switched to their now-habitual 45.8%.
