Black Bottle Andean Oak Alchemy Series 70cl, 46.3%
We have is a very experimental Scotch Whisky. As far as we know, this from Black Bottle is the first to have whisky matured in virgin Andean oak casks as part of its blend. The variety is unique to Colombia and Panamá and is regarded for its ability to thrive at altitudes that others cannot. Andean oak imparts a similar character to American oak, but with more tannins and spice. It was chosen in this case to elevate the creamy, smooth grain whiskies of the blend, by finishing them for seven months in Andean oak casks with various toast and char levels.
Black Bottle 10 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
It’s a limited edition 10 Year Old expression of the awesome Black Bottle blend! This time the Islay whiskies that make up the blend have been rested in casks for a decade, and after that time have of course been bottled up in the classic black bottle. A good balance of peat alongside more fragrant and fruity notes in here.
Black Bottle (70cl, 40%)
Relaunched in 2013, Black Bottle Blended Scotch whisky now features a balanced mix of fruitiness and spice alongside the peaty Islay notes that the brand has been known for. This change in direction is a return to Black Bottle’s past, as it is said to have been inspired by what the whisky was like when it was made all the way back in 1879. This has also inspired the new old-style black glass bottle, which gave the whisky its name.
Bathtub Gin (70cl, 43.3%)
An extraordinary award-winning gin from Ableforth’s. Made using the traditional method of Cold Compounding (or in layman’s terms – infusing). Very high quality copper pot-still spirit is infused with ingredients including juniper, orange peel, coriander, cassia, cloves and cardamom, with the length of the compounding period controlled entirely by periodic sampling.
The result is an extraordinary gin, lightly tinted by the botanicals, and with a flavour which is both bold, and perfumed all at once. Sure to be a hit with amateur and professional mixologists alike.
Packaged using brown paper, string and wax, the presentation puts us in mind of a Victorian apothecary!

An 18 year old Aultmore launched in 2015 as part of John Dewar & Sons’ Last Great Malts ranges.
Aultmore 13 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company (50cl, 50%)
This 13-year-old single malt from Aultmore joins That Boutique-y Whisky Company’s Cinema Series having matured in not one, but two different bourbon casks. After an initial 11 years in a refill bourbon barrel, the whisky was re-racked in a fresh first-fill bourbon barrel to bathe for its final years, ensuring that the biscuity malt shines alongside layers of zesty citrus and chalky grist.
Batch 18 is a release of 418 bottles.
Aultmore 12 Year Old (70cl, 46%)
12 year old Aultmore single malt Scotch whisky, unveiled in 2014 for the Last Great Malts by Dewar’s. A refreshing dram, with plenty of vanilla, honey and citrus, alongside a touch of grassiness. It’s been quite a while since a distillery bottling of Aultmore has been released, so this is all rather exciting indeed.
Auchroisk 7 Year Old 2010 Parkmore Selection (70cl, 46%)
An independently bottled 7 year old Auchroisk single malt, released as part of the Parkmore Selection (based in the Coleburn warehouse – wonderful stuff to hear for those of us who love hearing about closed distilleries not just being left to rot or getting smashed into pieces). It was initially aged in bourbon casks before enjoying a finishing period in casks that previously held Madeira wine.
