Welcome to Whisky Galore

Matured for a total of 11 years, with the final 22 months spent in active first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry butts, this new Aberlour is rich with dried fruits, berries and peppered spice. Roasted coffee, cloves and pepper lead the flavour, before fresh berry jam (strawberry, redcurrant) takes over. A powerhouse, cask-driven Aberlour for those who enjoy their Speyside whiskies big, woody and bold.

An excellent small batch release from independent bottlers James Eadie, this mix of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks offers Ben Nevis at its best: waxy, honeyed and earthy, with a bounty of apricots, fresh pears and marzipan. A dusty, mocha flavour can be found, joining waxy honey (manuka) and buttery pastries glazed with marmalade.

Selected and bottled by independent bottlers James Eadie, this Dailuaine spent the final 34 months of its 14 years maturing in an ex-Malaga wine cask. The cask influence has brought out a peachy, fruity tone in the whisky, with other stone fruits joining in. A hint of salted liquorice and vanilla ice cream comes through, lingering on soft woody flavours.

In celebration of Fife?s rich whisky history, James Eadie's The Fife Blend sees just two casks selected in its creation: a Cameronbridge single grain whisky finished in an ex-Marsala cask, combined with a fifteen year old single malt whisky, from an unnamed family-owned farm distillery situated near the Daft Burn. to taste, light and remarkably effervescent, with fresh grapes, peach, cherry and mango, alongside subtle richer notes of maple syrup and banana.  A dash of water brings out big notes of tropical fruits.

This 15 year old Inchgower was finished in a rarer type of sherry cask, Amontillado, for a period of 21 months, this is a lush example of the distillery style, with syrupy fruit-salad qualities and treacle. With the tropical fruityness there is also treacle and a drying nutty pistachio note.

Produced to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III, this very special Laphroaig comes from Glasgow's Hunter & Laing Co. Distilled in 1990 at Laphroaig and bottled at 32 years of age at natural cask strength, this is an unmistakable expression of Islay: exquisite and integrated medicinal peat smoke, sea-spray, a lifting fruity and citric quality. At this age, Laphroaig's intensity has mellowed, but its signature earthy, coastal bonfire smokyness remains ever-present.

Distilled just 3 years after the founding of the distillery, this 1998 Arran was filled from a single ex-refill hogshead cask, offering a balance of spirit and wood character. The succently sweet and honeyed profile is on full display, with toffee, roasted fruits and a very creamy and syrupy texture. A cracking example of this unpeated west-coast gem.

Laid down in 1990 at what remains one of the shorttest-lived distilleries in Scotch history, this 33 year old single cask comes from Pittyvaich, operational from 1974 to 1993. Filled from an ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry cask, this Pittyvaich has naturally come down to 44.2%, showing a slow and steady evaporation in the temperate warehouses in Scotland. A distinctive woody and spicy character of a medley of exotic woods and fragrant spices joins a herbal honey quality. What can only be described as a 'dusty' note is a character of the distillery, with earthy dark chocolate and a distant, herbal smokyness of old coal chimneys.

Filled from a single refill hogshead barrel laid down in 1990 and matured for 33 years, this Glenturret was, in their own words, "offered with confidence" from independent bottlers Hunter Laing & Co. Just 75 bottles were produced, meaning the vast majority of the cask has been lost to time and evaporation, concentrating and focusing the rich, fruity and complex character of the distillery.

Hailing from the remote eastern coast of Hokkaido in Japan, this is the first ever expression from the distillery that we have had on the shelves. Founded in 2016, Akkeshi's style is heavily influenced by its founders love for the Lagavulin distillery on Islay in Scotland. This first-fill ex-bourbon barrel offers notes of malt biscuit, green mezcal and intriguing notes of tomato vine. The palate shows a tone of mesquite, ham hock and billowing smokyness, finishing long and briny.

Bottled from a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead, this is a decidedly savoury example of Caol Ila, with notes of a dirti martini, gherkin and capers showing up, facinating characteristics from the wood. There is a tangy note of gooseberry, then a building salty profile of salted lemon, fish oil and even some dijon mustard.

Our first ever expression from the Spirit of Yorkshire distillery, situated Filey in England. Bottled from a first-fill ex-Moscatel cask, Adelphi describe a whisky of great contrast - bright lavendar notes join Dr. Pepper, cherry cola and a myriad of candied flavours. A figgy and savoury (fish sauce) then herbal quality emerges on the palate and finish.

Sm?gen distillery was founded in 2009 in Sweden, with this single cask laid down in 2013. Matured in an first-fill ex-bourbon barrel, Adelphi's tasting notes describe an intriguing combination of notes, from wet barley, hessian sack, gunpowder and even cow sheds. There is a character of tobacco leaf, oily grain and Szechuan peppercorn, with flinty and fusty notes throughout. The finish is vivid, long and rich.

Over the years, Adelphi's selection of single grain whiskies such as this one from North British have been exceptional. Matured in an refill ex-bourbon barrel for 36 years, this is a highly aromatic and perfumed example of the style - creaming soda, sponge fingers and coconut macaroons leap out of the glass. With nutty notes of biscotti and Frangelico, it turns towards a sweet and intense flavour of pineapple, vanilla ice cream and limoncello. Bright, delicate and vividly evocative.

After 33 years of maturation in refill ex-bourbon hogshead cask, Adelphi have bottled this whisky at the peak of its maturation, with an expressive aroma and flavour of rich tropical fruit character, spices from the bazaar and exotic woods. Papaya, ripe mango and candied grapefruit notes give a feeling of livelyness uncommon of a whisky of this age. The shades of fruit and spices are carried on a richly mouth-coating texture, lingering flinty and mineralic. Adelphi's selection from the Mortlach distillery are legendary - this example is one of many reasons why.

A rare find for rum enthusiasts, the legendary Caroni from Trinidad, this single cask, cask strength expression was bottled by Adelphi from a refill hogshead cask. Adelphi's notes describe a rum of incredible complexity: notes ranging from aged Riesling, fresh ginger, rhum baba joining 'old automobile' and even a suggestion of petrol. The palate offers bitter chocolate, wood shavings and mint, with Turkish delight and bramble fruit.
