Highland

The anCnoc 18 Year Old has been matured in Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels and has been bottled in its most natural form, neither chill-filtered nor coloured. Bottled at 46& volume. A full bodied whisky that develops full bodied fruit notes.

Our Vintage expression has become a tradition at anCnoc and our recently released Vintage 2002 is a fitting testimony to the time-honoured methods employed in the production of this traditional yet distinctly modern single malt. anCnoc Vintage 2002 has matured in Spanish and American oak casks and has been bottled in its most natural form neither chill-filtered nor coloured and as a result this dr…

24 year old anCnoc single malt Scotch whisky from the Knockdhu distillery up in the Highlands. An expression not often seen on these shores, this is a citrus-forward dram (think lemon peels and home-made marmalade - and lots of it!) with creamy vanilla toffee, honey'd barley, old leather and oak-y hints rounding it out.

A 1996 vintage Ardmore from independent bottlers Gordon & Macphail, bottled in 2014. The distillery produces peated whisky, despite being in the relatively peat free region of the Highlands.

Aroma Ripe pear and stewed rhubarb steeped in honey and decadent raspberry jam mature into sweet meadow grasses complemented by underlying fresh lemon and lime edge. Taste Balanced, crisp green apple wrapped in salted dark chocolate accompanied by hints of peaches and cream and gentle menthol nuances. Finish Light aniseed and warming white pepper develop on the finish whilst highlights of fresh le…

The Western Highland representative in Diageo's 'Classic Malt' series, Oban 14yo is a superb, full-blooded fruity malt with a whiff of heather and more than a hint of smoke.

At some point in the 1970s, John Crabbie & Co stopped producing their whiskies - but in early 2018, they returned to the fray! As their own distillery in Edinburgh gets up and running, they released a pair of single malt whiskies from undisclosed distilleries, including this 8 Year Old expression (and a 30 Year Old, too). It's based around their original 8 Year Old Blend produced long ago, but int…

Nose: A warm coffee house in Seattle; roasting beans, the oily nuttiness in a fine espresso, there are little notes of malt and cereal and butter from the pastry counter with rich orange from the fruit bowl on the counter. Palate: Notes of Seville marmalade and triple sec with winter spices and fruitcake. Zesty cocoa and milk chocolate. Finish: Medium, oranges.

A chocolate orange. Potpourri, perfumed. Fruitcake, sherry. Medium, lovely delivery. Zesty orange, Blue Cura�ao, chocolate. Winter spice, stem ginger in syrup. Hints of anise and a little hickory. Malty barley and smoky espresso.

The latest expression of Dalmore is an 18yo, and it's just as smooth, spicy and sweet as fans of this distillery would hope.

Caramel, shortbread, biscuits, coffee and chocolates. Simple, clean and moreish. Yet more toffee, caramel edging towards the burnt cinder-toffee side of thReasonably simple, Christingles (orange Zest and clove with a touch of cinnamon), more mid-palate than palate-coating. Definitely meets the criteria of pairing with a �BIG� cigar.

The new, relaunched 12 year old, this single malt has been bottled at a slightly higher proof, negating the necessity for chill-filtration and as such retaining more of its original charm. A lovely dram from the Deanston distillery. Nose: Light, cereals, zesty orange marmalade. Barley. Palate: Soft, nutty, caramel. Touch of salinity. Oak. Finish: Soft, quite abrupt, caramel.

The third batch of Deanston 18 Year Old � finished in first-fill bourbon barrels. This is typical of the Highland distillery's signature profile, sweet with hints of spice.

Edradour boasts its status as Scotland's smallest distillery and at the heart of the range, this 10 year old Eastern Highlander is a rather unique single malt, a decidedly rum-like dram with a thick mouthfeel. Nose: Medium, great complexity. Thoroughly fruity, sherry, sweetness, alluring vanilla. Palate: Cloying, seductive murkiness. Rum, barley, toasted almonds. Some may find themselves lost in t…

Original is the core bottling in the Glenmorangie range, released to replace the old 10 year old. This really is a classic malt, so creamy and fruity. Nose: Very fruity and thick. Rich notes of lemon, nectarine and apple. Spices. Palate: Fresh and balanced, vanilla. Boiled sweets, very creamy, tiramisu, toffee. Finish: Quite long, gentle, malty and very fruity.

The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. Once it has spent fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso casks to spend a further three years maturing. Then, when both elements have reached 18 years, we blend them back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.

Aromas of dried fruits, blackberries, cherries, plums and dates are interwoven with hints of chocolate and coffee. On the palette mouth-watering flavours of forest fruits emerge leading to a long gentle finish with warming spices.

Peaty Glenturret! Yum! The Peated Edition from the Glenturret distillery boasts warming earthiness and baking bread notes on the nose, with sweet, buttery biscuits and almost coastal peat smoke developing on the palate. A curious release from the Glenturret distillery.

Loch Lomond 12 Year Old has been aged in three types of cask: bourbon, refill and recharged. Fruity with notes of pear, lemon, vanilla and biscuits.

A bustling seaside resort has grown up around the distillery in the two centuries since it was first built in the fishing town of Oban. The West Highland malt is still produced in the same unhurried, traditional fashion and this 14 year old is a classic dram from the distillery. The nose is rich and smoky. The medicinal notes are quite evident with notes of the sea; seaweed, tarry ropes. There are…

The Distillers Edition bottlings from the Oban distillery are rather ace indeed. Not only does it give us an excuse to enjoy Oban's top-notch whisky (as if we need any other excuses other than "it's yummy"), but it shows off the wonderfulness of Montilla Fino cask-finished whisky, which doesn't happen nearly as much as we'd like it to. This particular bottling features whisky distilled in 2003 and…

Previously part of their travel retail offering, Oban's Little Bay has graduated to the core range as a 70cl bottling. Master Blenders Dr. Matthew Crow and Dr. Craig Wilson use whisky matured in refill American oak hogsheads, European oak Sherry casks and refill casks with new ends for this expression before allowing the resultant single malt whisky to marry in small oak casks.

A favourite of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, being conveniently situated close by Balmoral Castle. Royal Lochnagar was originally a key ingredient in VAT 69, but most production is now for single malts. Diageo's smallest distillery and another that has worm tubs. The character here is grassy: think hay and straw rather than lawn clippings. There's just a hint of cereal behind, and a fresh, roa…
