This release from Laws uses a heirloom strain of barley that has been revived. It has been maturing for 5 years in 53-gallon charred oak barrels. It has aromas of apple blossom, honey and toasted oats. The palate offers fresh apple, sugar biscuits, seagrass and sweet pipe tobacco.

Another single malt not often seen outside of distillery bottlings, from the beautiful Highland distillery Aberfeldy. Here we have an 8 year old expression distilled back in 2012, bottled as part of Douglas Laing’s ‘Provenance’ range. This spirit bursts with natural sweetness, thanks to the distillery’s long fermentation times and slow distillation. Subtly rich nose, redolent with citrus, dried fruits and sugar-coated almonds. The palate is big and oh-so-sweet. Dark toffee, cracked pepper, raisins with sweet barley, syrupy and spicy on the finish.

Adelphi's Private stock is a blend of whiskies selected by one of Scotland's most famed independent bottlers. This is a smooth dram with plenty of honeyed sweetness from Spey and Highland malts, a touch of sea-side maritime notes from a coastal distillery and a gentle peat-fire smokyness in the background. A very traditional and old-fashioned flavoured blend that belongs in any whisky drinker's cupboard.

Known to locals as 'the Knock', the Knockdhu distillery is named after the black hill that dominantes the landscape in the area.  This new expression has matured in ex-American oak, with classic notes of crisp apple and citrus, joining honey and fresh vanilla. The palate is mild with toffee, pear drops and a touch ground spices. Please note this is the more generous 1 Litre bottle.

This latest release from the Knockdhu distillery has been selected from American oak and sherry casks after 18 years of maturation. This is a heavier dram, with the sherry casks bringing a dried fruit, chocolate and ripe orange flavour and aroma to the classic notes of vanilla, honey and summer fruits. The aftertaste is full of spices and is distinctily peppery and warming.

This secret single malt comes from a distillery situated on the Isle of Orkney, if you flip a coin, you’ll be close to being correct on which distillery this spirit is from. Distilled in the year 2000 and matured for 20 years in a single hogshead. Fresh sea spray opens the nose, fragrant heather, hay, toasted fruit bread and chilli-infused honey. The palate has soda bread, burnt bread rolls, crumpets covered in honey, Dundee cookies, chilli dipping oil, white tea and treacle tart. Chewy lemon honey lozenges on the finish. A complex venture.

Just one drop of water can change the composition of your whisky, so if you like a wee drop in your dram, this is the perfect tool for you.

The hand crafted whisky diluting dropper allows finer control releasing one drop of water at a time.

This glass pipette is approximately 200mm length, and is presented in a luxurious velvet lined box.

The Ardbeg Day 2022 Release is now available. In a first for the distillery, this whisky is produced from 'black' roasted barley, a process designed to bring out dark and deep flavours from the malt. Spicy, savoury and‘grippy’, with an explosion of savoury marmite burnt toast and charcoal and chicory (camp coffee) infused coffee grounds. The classic Ardbeg herbal fennel top note is present but very much in  the background of all the swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses notes.

The palate is anastonishing spicy, leading to an explosion of rich powerful flavours– cocoa powder, rich dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers.

There is lots of liquorice along with some altogether sweeter malty biscuit flavours, and a long lingering treacle toffee aftertaste

Available while stocks last.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan is one of two constantly available Ardbegs bottled at high strength. It is made up of a combination of Ardbeg matured in standard Ex Bourbon casks and in French oak casks. This maturation gives the Corryvreckan great balance of sweetness and spiciness backed up by a huge punch of drying, ashy smoke.
