Islay whisky is Scotch whisky made on Islay one of the southernmost of the Inner Hebridean Islands located off the west coast of Scotland. Islay is one of five whisky distilling localities and regions in Scotland whose identity is protected by law. There are nine active distilleries and the industry is the island’s second largest employer after agriculture. Islay is a centre of “whisky tourism”, and hosts a “Festival of Malt and Music” known as Fèis Ìle each year on the last week of May, with events and tastings celebrating the cultural heritage of the island.

Bruichladdich Octomore 09.3 Dialogos 5 Year Old Farm Grown Barley (70cl, 62.9%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Made solely from barley grown on Irene’s Farm in Islay (peated to 133 PPM) and aged for five years in mostly second-fill American whiskey barrels, this is a fascinating study of how a single-vintage low-yield harvest affects the whisky character. This has intense notes of malted barley, black tea, golden syrup, burning heather and smoke.

The Octomore 9 series has been named dialogos (dialogue in ancient Greek) in recognition of the whisky’s ability to provoke debate amongst whisky enthusiasts.

A senior member of the Seaweed & Aeons family, this is a cask-strength edition of its heavily peated 18-year-old Highland single malt. Bottled at a hearty 54.6%, it’s a big, bold sipper.

Hailing from an undisclosed Islay distillery, 25% of this single malt enjoyed a stay in sherry casks, imparting a satisfying sweetness to the robustly smoky, earthy whisky. Weighing in at 55.6% ABV, there’s plenty of added depth and intensity to be found in this full-bodied cask strength expression… you might like to punctuate with a dash of water or a cube of ice to open up all that flavour.

Peat and sherry is a great combo, though sometimes it can be a bit like a shouting match between a foghorn and a washing machine full of pots and pans. Thankfully, this one shows off a welcome harmony between the two. It’s a marvellous variation of Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, featuring the same smoky 10 year old Islay single malt, though instead of just 25% of it being finished in sherry casks, the entirety of the whisky was finished in them. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly well-balanced flavour profile.

An Oa is named after the Mull of Oa in the south west of Islay, which offers the Kildaton coast (where Ardbeg distillery is situated) some protection from the worst the Atlantic has to offer! As such, An Oa is intended to show a more approachable side to Ardbeg single malt that’s as rounded as the Oa peninsular, without losing the characteristic distillery style. In the summer of 2017 this became the first addition to Ardbeg’s core range in over a decade.

Maturation took place in a combination of casks including Pedro Ximénez, charred virgin oak and ex-bourbon, which were all brought together to marry in Dr. Bill Lumsden’s new ‘Gathering Vat’!

But being sourced from different locations, not all peat imparts the same flavours. From powerful peat monsters packing in plenty of medicinal, earthy notes, to lightly smoked sippers with just a whisper of those flavours, this calendar is just the place to learn all about the magic of peat.

  • 24 different, handmade 30ml wax-sealed drams

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Canasta is a type of cream sherry produced by Williams & Humbert. It’s a rich medium sweet wine made from a blend of dry oloroso and sweet PX sherries. In short, it’s just the kind of thing you want seasoning your cask. This is a NAS (no age statement) release that has not been coloured or chill-filtered, and bottled at a nice healthy 51.2% ABV. As with most releases from Bunna, it is unpeated.

Hailing from an undisclosed Islay distillery, an intensely sherried single malt from Darkness! Matured for 13 years, there’s plenty of coastal peat smoke and classic bonfire character here, coupled with layers of fruity sweetness thanks to a finish in an oloroso sherry octave.

This right here is a 10-year-old single malt from an undisclosed distillery on Islay, with 25% of it having been finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks, and bestowed the decidedly descriptive name Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire. If those four words (and three ampersands) aren’t quite enough of an explanation of what this expression is all about, here are a few more: stripped-back, smoky, complex, a bit sherried, balanced, coastal. Yeah, that should do it. Great for people who love uncompromising Islay whisky and sans-serif fonts.

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

unusual release from Kilchoman, this isn’t a finish, instead it’s entirely matured in 300 litre Cognac casks which come from Tonellerie Bossuet. Kilchoman used a 50ppm heavily-peated new-make spirit, which then went into 32 300 litre French oak casks for a minimum of six years. The result was bottled at 50% ABV with no colour or chill-filtering.

The 2023-release of Kilchoman Loch Gorm single malt has been matured in a combination of 20 first-fill oloroso sherry casks and two refill oloroso sherry casks for at least eight years, before being bottled in 2023. Aromas of sweet pipe smoke, ripe strawberries, candied lemon peel, orange blossom, toffee and clove fill the nose, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, tobacco smoke, caramel, dates, liquorice, earthy peat smoke and cinnamon throughout the palate.

Kilchoman Casado 70cl, 46%

A limited-edition single malt from Kilchoman, Casado takes its name from the Portuguese word for marriage. Initially matured in 38 first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, it was then married in a pair of Portuguese red wine vats for two years before it was bottled. Aromas of intense campfire smoke, ripe plums, cherries, peaches, marzipan and sea spray fill the nose, complemented by notes of black pepper, salty peat smoke, apricot, lemon, stewed plums, apricot jam and rich smoke throughout the palate and lingering in the finish.

Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured 70cl, 50%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Something you don’t see everyday, an Islay single malt entirely aged in fino sherry casks. Kilchoman founder Anthony sourced 20 fino sherry butts from Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin in Jerez to mature his whisky in. This release spent a minimum of five years ageing before bottling in 2023 at 50% ABV. Fino, the lightest and freshest style of sherry, imparts quite different flavours to the more commonly seen oloroso or PX. So there will be no dried fruit or big spices here, thank you very much. Instead think of fresh apples, almonds and a salty note that perfectly compliments the smoky Kilchoman character.

Kilchoman Small Batch Release (70cl, 48.7%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

The excellent Kilchoman Small Batch Release is a limited edition whisky that uses the finest casks available for maturation. This exclusive small batch release includes some whiskies matured in ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and STR casks.

STR casks are an innovation not found in many distilleries and were created by the late Jim Swan. The abbreviation stands for ‘shaved, toasted and recharred’.

Each cask previously contained red wine, and to tame some of the overpowering red wine flavours, the casks are shaved on the inside to expose the active wood. This is then toasted to break down the harder oak elements such as cellulose. The barrel is then charred to create an active charring layer that improves the interaction with the maturing spirit.

The bottles were bottled at 48,7 % alcohol and no chill filtration or colouring was used in the production process. The whisky is presented in a gift box.

Fans of the distillery will know that means a truly peaty customer, with lots of spice and power amplified by the virgin oak casks this heavily peated Lagavulin was aged in, alongside American oak refill casks.

Ardbeg 25 Year Old 2022 Release 70cl, 46%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

The 2022 release of Ardbeg 25 Year Old is a smoky single malt with layers of sweetness that was matured in ex-bourbon barrels and bottled in 2021. Aromas of cream, smoke, peppermint, toffee, fennel, pine resin, earthy bonfires and ripe bananas fill the nose, complemented by notes of white pepper, sherbet lemons, candied apples, oranges, pears, tar, carbolic soap, creamy toffee, aniseed, rich smoke and antiseptic throughout the palate.

Bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillery’s darkest days, this is Ardbeg at its most intricate, balanced and beguiling.

Majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires are masterfully interwoven with layers of pine and fragrant candle wax. Hot pepper rises on the palate, twisting around lemon sherbet sweetness, while hints of carbolic soap and tar flow into a long aftertaste characterised by delicate aniseed entwined with lingering cream and fudge.

Bunnahabhain 40 Year Old 2018 Release 70cl, 41.9%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Four long decades have crawled by as this precious whisky slowly and silently matured within our warehouses by the sea. Indeed, the casks that this whisky was maturing in were all but forgotten, until our blending team discovered them whilst reviewing the warehouse ledgers. Sourced from the legendary wines and spirit merchant, J.G Turney, these casks have been home to this stunning whisky for the past forty years.

This unique 40 Year Old is as rare as it is prized – if you’re ever lucky enough to hold one, be gentle, you’re holding a piece of history!  As with all our single malt whiskies, this is non-chill filtered and natural colour.

The pinnacle of the Bunnahabhain range, aged for 40 long years: a piece of distillery history. A combination of casks ‘found’ in the warehouse by the master blender (as is so often the case), these long-aged whiskies were vatted to create this rich, deep and complex dram. A showcase of the best of Bunnahabhain.

If you’re looking for a food pairing for this beauty, try intensely flavoured salty blue cheeses, which complement the intense, peat rich, sweet and salty character of this Lagavulin wonderfully.

INTRODUCING THE THIRD CHAPTER OF THE IAN HUNTER STORY

A COLLECTIBLE SERIES OF LAPHROAIG® AGED WHISKIES

Introducing the third release in our Ian Hunter series: a 33-year-old non-chill altered whisky with creamy liquorice notes, fully matured in ex-Bourbon barrels so that Laphroaig‘s characteristic peatiness shines through.

The third release of the Ian Hunter Series is to celebrate the legacy of the last of the Johnston family to own and manage the Laphroaig® distillery, and his fight to protect the Kilbride Stream. This is a story of uncompromising guardianship and a battle between neighbours, over every distillery’s essential lifeblood, its source of water.

The third release of the Ian Hunter Story is a 33 Year Old single malt that has been matured exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks, allowing the iconic Laphroaig peatiness to shine through. Aromas of pears, peaches, honey, rose petals, nutmeg and ashy peat smoke fill the nose, complemented by notes of stewed apples, aniseed, creamy liquorice and acrid peat throughout the palate.

The only thing between you and the full, uncompromising expression of our most powerful cask strength whisky is the cork. Our Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength is the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay. Once removed from the barrel after a decade, the spirit is barrier-filtered to remove unwanted char particles. Then, this cask strength single malt goes straight to the bottle.

The result is a bracing, full-bodied 56.5% vol whisky delivering renowned smoke with a particular rugged character and depths of sweet and spicy flavour. A dram poured neat is lively on the nose with hints of vanilla, pipe tobacco and leather while overwhelming the palate with toffee, fudge and cinnamon. Splashing in a couple drops of water draws out additional peat smoke and notes of sea salt.

The latest batch (#15, no less) of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength demonstrates that the Islay distillery is no danger of running out of peaty powerhouses for us to enjoy. This has all the smoky, medicinal, and sweet notes you’ve come to expect and at 56.5% ABV, those flavours don’t exactly hide.

Distilled by an earlier generation of Bruichladdich stillmen, this unpeated Bruichladdich spirit lay untouched in our loch-side warehouses for 17 short years before Jim had a vision for its future. In a risky turn, he transferred this already precious spirit into the finest French oak casks from Bordeaux of the very highest provenance. This final decade in Bordeaux wine casks brings structure, balance and layers of complexity to an otherwise simplistic dram. Just 12,000 bottles of the Bruichladdich HB’90 are available exclusively through Global Travel Retail. Each is individually numbered and bottled at a cask strength of 49.5% alc. Vol.

Caol Ila Moch (70cl, 43%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Taking its name from the Gaelic for ‘dawn’, Moch is a wonderful newcomer from Caol Ila and is a must-try for fans of this outstanding distillery. Lighter in style than the standard 12yo expression, Moch is a fantastic easy-drinking dram.

Caol Ila Moch is the first single malt from the distillery to be selected entirely on the basis of its taste, rather than age, cask wood, strength or finish.

The nose is creamy and lemony, before a silky-smooth medium-bodied palate that still packs a peaty punch. The finish is dry, sooty and very more-ish.

Moch was available initially only to the Friends of the Classic Malts exclusively from The Whisky Exchange. We think it’s the best FOCM release in years and a very exciting addition to the Caol Ila family.

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Released in partnership with Aston Martin, this exceptional eighteen-year-old Bowmore is the third edition of its kind. Aged in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, it’s a feat of engineering, much like the car from which it draws inspiration.

Performance is the force which unites the Aston Martin DB Mk III and Bowmore 18 Years Old. Together they celebrate exceptional attention to detail, embracing the absolute complexity at the heart of both these beautiful creations. A high performing single malt, deeply complex, rare and dignified from time well spent in the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez is united with an alluring Aston Martin which encapsulates technical prowess and the optimal execution.

Here we have a special release from the Bowmore Distillery, intended for the travel retail market. It’s a collaboration with Aston Martin, and celebrates the famous LM10 Le Mans Team Car. Spanish Oak casks help to coax the best from this expression.

The Bowmore 10 Years Old is paired with the game changing Aston Martin factory Team Car, the LM10, which first raced at Le Mans in 1932. Both clearly expressing a bold and confident style, these two creations push the boundaries. The whisky boldly fuses spice from Spanish oak casks, with signature smoke flavours, whilst the LM10 encapsulates exceptional technical prowess, using cutting edge technology of the time to minimise weight and accelerate speed.

Originally a released for travel retail market in 2017, Bowmore Dark & Intense is a marriage of Spanish oak sherry casks and hogsheads.

This 2021 edition was bottled in colaboration with high end British car manufacturer Aston Martin

A high-ABV variation on the classic Smokehead Islay single malt, Smokehead High Voltage is described as an “all-out attack” on your senses by its producer. Which, y’know, sounds pretty intense. If you’re a fan of heavily-peated whisky, you’re in for a treat.

Also, yes, it was incredibly hard to resist making an Electric Six reference when writing this bottling note.

Originally a limited edition to celebrate the distillery’s 200th anniversary, Laphroaig 16 is now a small-batch occasional release. It takes the distinctive medicinal, seaside character of Laphroaig’s spirit and gives it a few extra years to mellow out and calm down, creating a rich and smoky whisky with more complexity and an elegance that’s not often seen elsewhere in the Laphroaig range – spicy peat smoke with well-worn leather and soft, sweet vanilla.
