Johnnie Walker Johnnie Blonde 70cl, 40%
JOHNNIE BLONDE WHISKY.
This special edition blend from Johnnie Walker is made with mixing in mind. It’s sweeter than you might expect from the brand, with prominent toffee and fruit notes that bring the best from lemonade, cola and ginger. For the summer of 2020, Johnnie Walker have launched a brighter, sweeter whisky called Johnnie Blonde Blended Scotch Whisky. According to Johnnie Walker, this is one of the most versatile whiskies they’ve ever made. With this whisky, Johnnie Walker have taken bright wheat whiskies which have been matured in sweet American oak. This gives flavours of toffee and caramel, before being brought together with fresher, fruity malt flavours from the whole of Scotland. On the nose the vanilla notes come through strongly, along with toffee and berry aromas. On the palate the sweetness continues, again with sweetened vanilla, apples, and a light spiciness and caramel aromas. The finish on this whisy is smooth, and very light. Perfect Serve. This is a whisky which was made to be versatile, and works in the mix with soda, lemonade, cola or ginger mixers. Try it with a citrus soda, such as Fever-Tree Sicilian Lemonade and you’ll note the sweet, fruity crispness from the whisky comes forward. Try with soda or ginger ale such as Fever-Tree Soda or Ginger Ale and the creamy vanilla notes of the Johnnie Blonde really shine. For any of the above, take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of Johnnie Blonde. Top up with 150ml of your chosen mixer, and garnish with a slice of orange.
Johnnie Blonde has been made for curious Scotch lovers and non-whisky drinkers alike. Made to be mixed, it bursts into life with the citrus kick of lemonade, topped with a fresh slice of orange.

Johnnie Walker Explorers’ Club Collection The Adventurer (1L, 40%)
The Explorers’ Club Collection which was released over 2012 and 2013 to honour the Johnnie Walker Whisky Traders has always been scheduled for Duty Free stores only. We’ve managed to secure tiny quantities from a secret source in order to satisfy CYPRIOT followers of the brand who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to obtain these limited editions. So far the Trade Routes series has included The Spice Road, The Gold Route and The Royal Route. However, there’s a missing link that’s arguably the most collectable of all.
Jan van den Ende , writing for ‘Best Shot Whisky Reviews’ explains, “It is likely that The Adventurer was the first of a new series within The Explorer’s Club Collection. However a law suite was launched by the existing real life Explorer’s Club that included such legendary names as Buzz Aldrin and Sir Ernest Shackleton. The Club funds scientific Research and Education and did not want their name used for commercial purposes without their permission. A judge ruled in favour of the Club in August 2014 which forced Diageo to rethink their strategy with regards to the Explorer’s Club Collection. As a result, the Adventurer has become almost a rarity and a collector’s item despite its humble ambitions.”

Singleton Glendullan Reserve Game of Thrones House Tully (70cl, 40%)
The ancestral home of House Tully, Riverrun, sits at the junction of the Red Fork of the Trident and the Tumblestone River.

Dalmore Trio 1L, 40%
An exceptional single malt matured in three equally exceptional casks. Using a three cask maturation, The Dalmore The Trio is a captivating marriage of rare and exceptional casks. The liquid is initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. This gives its first base of soft vanilla and honey notes. The whisky is apportioned between first fill ex-bourbon casks, 10 year old Tawny port pipes and 30 year old Matusalem sherry casks. The three parts are then brought back together to harmonise.”
Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 015 Bot.2021 (70cl, 56.5%)
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.
