Single Malt from the Highlands takes on many shapes and forms. Because the region is so vast it is difficult to make sweeping statements. The most popular Highland single malt (not including the Speyside region, which is situated in the Highlands) – is Glenmorangie. Typically, single malt from the region is put into four subregions, named for the cardinal compass points. To the north there are big bodied single malts, with cereal sweetness and richness, take The Dalmore, for example. Toward the south there are lighter, fruitier whiskies with a definite dryness. Aberfeldy is a shining example of this. To the east there are some full-bodied, dry whiskies with lots of fruit and pungency. The superb Glen Garioch is one such single malt distillery. The Western Highlands offer full body and real power with peaty, smoky overtones, nearer the coast there are some more maritime flavoured whiskies too including malts from Clynelish and Pulteney.

Clynelish 14 Year Old (70cl, 46%)
Clynelish Reserve Game of Thrones House Tyrell (70cl, 51.2%)
Winter is coming. The final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones approaches. What on earth are we to do with ourselves while we wait? Enjoy some good Scotch. That’s what.
Fortunately for those who are fans of both, HBO and Diageo have teamed up to create the Game of Thrones Single Malts Collection. Each whisky in the series is paired with a royal House of Westeros. This particular edition contains liquid sourced from the coastal distillery of Clynelish. It sits among scenic green pastures in Scotland’s north, a landscape somewhat reminiscent of Highgarden, the home of the great House of Tyrell.
We’re sure the fearless Queen of Thorns, Olenna Tyrell (portrayed by the legendary Diana Rigg) would approve of its floral quality, vibrant character and dignified label art, which features the Tyrell sigil – a golden rose.
Crabbie 8 Year Old (70cl, 46%)

It’s based around their original 8 Year Old Blend produced long ago, but intriguingly a bit different…

A smoky spell must have been cast when making this one, it’s a peated Croftengea single malt that spent 11 years maturing in a refill bourbon hogshead.
Batch 5 is a release of 183 bottles.

Aromas of freshly-baked brioche, ginger cake and fondant icing fill the nose, complemented by notes of orange blossom, mandarin, cinnamon, clove, ginger snaps and sugar-dusted pastries throughout the palate.
Dalmore 18 Year Old (70cl, 43%)

Dalmore 45 Year Old 2021 Release (70cl, 40%)
The Dalmore 45 has been hand crafted by Master Distiller Richard Paterson who has used some of the distillery’s rarest aged liquids to create what Richard himself has described as ‘flawless perfection’.
Initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the liquid has then been transferred into two different Vintage Graham’s Port Colheita pipes dating from 1961 and 1963 to create layers of flavour, which are indulgent, smooth and complex.
For its final flourish the whisky was then married together in first fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks providing The Dalmore 45 with a truly unrivalled finish. The Dalmore’s use of multiple casks is a fitting example of the distillery’s commitment to exquisite cask curation, which focuses on sourcing and utilising only the best casks from the world’s finest bodegas and wineries.
Purposefully retained at 40% ABV, The Dalmore 45 features exquisite flavours of red berries, soft liquorice, crushed hazelnuts, bitter chocolate and Manuka honey. This is followed by the sweet flavours of sticky toffee pudding, Bramley apples and juicy dates to finish.
Richard Paterson commented: “By personally selecting the very finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks and Port Colheita Pipes from 1961 and 1963, I have been able to create a truly unique expression which is indulgent and smooth with a vibrant and lively flavour profile. It takes time, dedication and passion to create an expression like The Dalmore 45 and age has gracefully matured this distinguished spirit to make it one of The Dalmore’s greatest aged spirits. This is a very special whisky, which I would describe as flawless perfection.”
Only 500 bottles of The Dalmore 45 will be released globally this year. 2021 Release

Dalmore The Quartet (1L, 41.5%)
The Dalmore Quartet Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is part of a special series launched by the distillery in late 2019. Under the direction of the company Whyte & Mackay, the well-known Scottish distillery released three bottlings with one interesting thing in common: each whiskeyWithin the modern product line, storage has been influenced by several types of casks. The trio matured in three types of casks, the Dalmore Quartet single malt scotch whiskey in four different barrel types, and the quintet even in five. These different influences have left fascinating traces on the spirits. The Dalmore Quartet Single Malt Scotch Whiskey and its brothers live up to their name and inspire as innovative trendsetters. After all, two barrels are now commonplace for whiskey maturation, but few companies venture into more.
Dalmore The Quintet (70cl, 44.5%)
A 2020 release from Dalmore that takes a maximalist approach to cask finishing.
Indeed, this dram is part of a mini series of three whiskies from the Highland distillery. Each expression in this series showcases Dalmore’s spirit in an increasing number of cask finishes, with the Trio being finished in three casks, the Quartet in four, and the Quintet in five.
Dalmore Quintet has been finished in rare muscatel casks, Malmsey Madeira barrels, 30 year old matusalem sherry casks, 10 year old port casks and Cabernet Sauvignon casks from Bordeaux.
The result is an exceedingly rich and complex whisky, which serves up notes of pineapple, mango, bananas, maple syrup, espresso, dark chocolate, rich dried fruits, plums, marmalade, white grapes, malt, vanilla custard, rancio, old oak and leather.
A whisky that illustrates sometimes, more is more!
The dram is bottled at the higher proof of 44.5% ABV for extra body and depth.
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.”
Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old (1L, 43%)

Deanston 10 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish (70cl, 46.3%)
Originally released for the Travel Retail market, this 10 year old single malt from the wonderful Deanston Distillery was finished in casks that had previously held red wine from the world-famous Bordeaux region of France. This wine cask finish has imparted a full-bodied sweetness to the whisky, balancing its creamy, malty notes with splashes of damson, cherry and just a hint of dark chocolate. A superb late night dram, this one.
Deanston 12 Year Old (70cl, 46.3%)
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.
Deanston 15 Year Old Tequila Cask Finish 2007 (70cl, 52.5%)
This limited edition from Deanston distillery was finished in ex-tequila casks from Altos, Jalisco. Bottled at cask strength as a 15-year-old expression, the nose has rich, nutty and fruity aromas, joined on the palate by relatively dry notes of caramelised agave, baked apples and warm spices.
Deanston 18 Year Old (70cl, 46.3%)
An 18-year-old Deanston single malt matured in first-fill bourbon casks. The distillery’s characteristically honeyed, fruity character is turned up to eleven and supplemented by the fresh tropical flavours, and rich, airy vanilla notes of American oak, all married and mellowed by a long, 18-year rest. Fantastic stuff.
Deanston 21 Year Old 2000 Organic (70cl, 50.9%)
This limited edition single malt Scotch whisky from Deanston was made using organic malt and matured in organic ex-bourbon casks, before a finishing period in organic ex-fino sherry casks. At 21 years old, this Highlander is part of a limited annual release totalling 2,784 bottles. At a cask strength of 50.9%, non-chill filtered and with no added colouring, it’s a dram bursting with flavour, and an intriguing addition to the burgeoning category of environmentally conscious whiskies.
Deanston Kentucky Cask Matured 70cl, 40%
This funky looking bottle contains Deanston whisky with an emphasis very much on the Bourbon cask provenance.
The Highland distillery’s spirit has been aged a combination of first and second fill former Bourbon casks, before being treated to “soft filtration” and bottled.
The result is a light, crisp dram with notes of bright Bourbon oak, creamy grain, malt, vanilla, apples, pears, light pineapple, toffee, butter, a little peppery cinnamon spice and some honey.
The back label suggests enjoying this dram “any damn way you like”, highlighting its potential as a mixing malt. Indeed, we reckon this dram would do brilliantly served over ice with lemonade or cream soda.
Deanston Virgin Oak (70cl, 46.3%)

Edradour 10 Year Old (5cl, 40%)
Edradour is one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries 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. The distillery’s methods of production remain virtually unchanged in the last 150 years, and we can see why. If it ain’t broke and all that. This single malt’s decade of ageing was spent in a combination of Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. This is one sherry monster and we love it.
