Islay

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.

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.

The 2017 release for Ardbeg Day is Kelpie. A combination whiskies aged in virgin Black-Sea oak casks and bourbon barrels, this is rich and intense with notes of pepper, treacle toffee, Turkish coffee, dark chocolate and smoky bacon.

An old bottling of Bowmore 12 year old. This looks to have been bottled sometime in the 1990s and has a wonderful screen printed label.

Bottled in 2015, this is the 1999 vintage of Lagavulin's Distillers Edition. By far the most popular of the series, this double-matured Lagavulin has had a finishing period in sweet, sticky Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. A whisky that never disappoints.

Released during Feis Ile 2015 to celebrate Ardbeg's 200th anniversary, this is a blend of old and young whisky, matured in both bourbon and sherry casks, delivering the classic Ardbeg note of cured meats, smoke and sea spray.

An 8 year old whisky bottled in 1995 to celebrate Morrison-Bowmore winning the first ever IWSC Best Distiller award. It's a vatting of whiskies from Bowmore, Auchentoshan and Glen Garioch.

The 3rd batch of Laphroaig's riotously popular small batch editions of their famed 10year old cask strength Islay single malt. No doubt this will be as big a hit as the previous editions - this is an expression that never disappoints.

An old Bowmore gift set containing a bottle of their 10 year old and a Bowmore branded tumbler. We estimate this pack dates from the 1980s.
