Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 10 Year Old (Batch 06) Whisky (70cl, 55.6%)
After batches one, and two, and three, and four, and five, it’s time for a sixth batch of the superbly delicious Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 10 Year Old! 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.

Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 18 Year Old (70cl, 54.6%)
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. With a good portion matured in sherry casks, it boasts softly sweet notes of stone fruits and toasted nuts among vibrant layers of herbaceous coastal peat smoke, and dense, meaty malt.
Whether you’re a fan of the younger age statements in this range and looking to explore older whiskies, or you’re interested in cask strengths, this is one for you! Also, a fab find if you’re looking for a gift for a member of some kind of ampersand appreciation society.
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 18 Year Old Batch 03 (70cl, 54.7%)
Aaaaaand what do we have here then? It’s another batch of brilliance from the ampersand clan! A senior member of the Seaweed & Aeons family, this heavily peated Highlander spent 18 years maturing before it was bottled up at cask strength – a robust 54.7% ABV. A generous portion of the whisky is sherry cask matured, imparting decadent layers of poached stone fruits and candied nuts to the dense, bold peat smoke and meaty malt at its core.

Seaweed & Sherry Cask
Back with a five batch, a superb cask-strength whisky joins the ampersand-laden Seaweed & Aeons collection. This edition of the revered Islay single-malt spent ten years maturing, with the full batch enjoying an additional finish in sherry casks. Not only that – the whisky was then bottled at a hearty cask strength of 54.9%. So you get bonus ampersands, bonus sherry, and bonus ABV here, this whisky really does have it all and more.
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks 10 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
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.
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire 10 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
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.

Springbank 25 Year Old 1998 The Octave (Duncan Taylor) Bottle No.9 70cl, 45.8%
Springbank 1998 Duncan Taylor 25 Year Old The Octave
Springbank distillery has been owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, and it one of Scotland’s most revered distilleries. Following a brief mothballing between 1979 and 1987, upon the reopening the decision was taken to cease all sales to the blending industry and focus on its single malt sales. Today it is one of the only distilleries to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts.
This Springbank was distilled in 1998 and matured for 25 years, including a finishing period in single sherry octave #63109. It was bottled by Duncan Taylor in 2023, under their aptly-named The Octave label.
Duncan Taylor was founded in Glasgow in 1938 as a cask broker and trading company. Its modern history began in 2001 when a former Glendronach employee, Euan Shand, purchased the firm and moved it to Huntly in Aberdeenshire, using the impressive cask portfolio it has amassed over the 20th century to become one of the premier independent bottlers in Scotland.

St Magdalene 40 Year Old 1982 Private Collection Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 54.8%
Gordon & MacPhail’s Private collection range contains exceptionally mature whiskies from silent distilleries and this St Magdalene is no exception. Spending 40 years in a refill American hogshead has left this whisky with aromas of pomander, orchard fruit and cocoa powder on the nose, leading to poached pear, walnut and marzipan on the palate.
St Magdalene A legendary lost distillery, also known as Linlithgow, closed in 1983.
Also known as Linlithgow, this lost Lowlands distillery was built in the mid-18th century by Sebastian Henderson and operated for well over 200 years before being closed in the great cull of 1983.
It had passed to A & J Dawson in 1798 before being acquired by DCL in 1912. The distillerywas re-equipped in 1927 andhad its own floor maltings until 1968, after which it bought in malt from Glenesk.
Despite a capacity of around 200,000 gallons a year of production, there were no official bottlings during its lifetime, and most malt fans had barely heard of it until a series of stunning Rare Malt bottlings (as St. Magdalene) in the mid-to-late 1990s. It is now one of the most lamented lost distilleries (the buildings have been converted to private housing), and Rare Malt bottlings are hungrily seized upon by aficionados and collectors alike.

Strawberry & Balsamico Gin (That Boutique-y Gin Company) (70cl, 46%)
It’s not a flavour combination that jumps to mind right away, but strawberries and balsamic vinegar is an absolutely astounding pairing that we don’t think gets nearly enough love. That Boutique-y Gin Company clearly agree and have proffered their own way to put the flavour combo in front of everybody’s eyes – by making Strawberry & Balsamico Gin! They have used a classically-styled base gin and given it the addition of fresh strawberries, strawberry and black pepper distillates and Aceto di Balsamico tradizionale di Modena DOP, which is aged between 12 and 25 years in casks made from chestnut, cherry, oak, mulberry, ash and juniper.
