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.

Glenmorangie 10 Year Old (1L, 40%)
It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried ‘designer casks’ from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time.
GlenDronach 12 Year Old Old Bottling (70cl, 43%)
This superb richly sherried single malt is matured for at least 12 years in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. Non-chill filtered, of natural colour and bottled at 43%, the GlenDronach 12 year old Original is a sweet, creamy dram.
Dalmore 10 Year Old Vintage 2006 (70cl, 46%)
Originally bottled for the French market, this vintage release of The Dalmore aged for 10 years, initially in first fill bourbon barrels before being moved to specially selected Beam barrels for the final 2 years. The result is more gentle and floral than you may imagine.
Dalmore 12 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
Launched in late 2008 to replace the previous 12 year old, this single malt from the Dalmore distillery is a toasty, coffee-rich dram with beautifully spice notes and a thick mouthfeel. Very rich for a 12 year old.
GlenDronach 15 Year Old Revival (70cl, 46%)
The Revival has been revived! The GlenDronach’s 15 Year Old Revival was a much-loved expression, though was sadly discontinued in 2015 by the distillery, citing lack of maturing stocks. However, stocks have been replenished and The GlenDronach 15 Year Old Revival has returned to our shelves! Matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, this stuff is hugely flavoursome, aromatic and complex.
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.”
GlenDronach 21 Year Old Parliament 2022 Release (70cl, 48%)
A 21 year old Glendronach released in 2011, and aged in a mix of sherry casks (Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez dessert sherry). The result is really very good indeed. Interestingly enough, this whisky has no political associations. It is, in fact, named “Parliament” after the collective term for a group of rooks – and there is a Parliament of Rooks living in the trees near GlenDronach…
This one is Release 2022
Glenmorangie Signet (70cl, 46%)
Of course, whilst the exact secrets of its production are known only to our whisky creators, we can tell you that Signet’s melting sweetness and explosive spiciness is, at least in part, caused by our unique roasted ‘chocolate’ barley malt and the ‘designer casks’ made bespoke for Glenmorangie from American white oak. Non chill-filtered
Edradour 10 Year Old (70cl, 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.
Glenmorangie 18 Year Old Extremely Rare (70cl, 43%)
Deanston Virgin Oak (70cl, 46.3%)

Glenmorangie 14 Year Old The Quinta Ruban Port Finish (70cl, 46%)
A full-bodied, silky-smooth single malt from Glenmorangie, finished in a Quinta Ruban port cask, creating a rich chocolate flavour.

The palate initially offers notes of mint chocolate, walnuts and orange develop into Greek delight and summer flowers.
Dalmore 18 Year Old (70cl, 43%)
Dalmore’s stunning 18 year old Highland malt is as rich, fruity and spicy as you could ever want from a Dalmore. Kudos to Richard Paterson for creating another veritable chocolate orange of a whisky – a surefire hit, and great for the colder months. It is aged for 14 years in American oak, followed by three years in Matusalem sherry butts, before a final year in sherry butts.
Glenmorangie 14 Year Old The Quinta Ruban Port Finish 70cl, 46%

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.
GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7 (70cl, 57.9%)
It’s the seventh batch of GlenDronach Cask Strength, and it’s received a redesign since the previous batch! Drawn from a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, this stuff is full-on deliciousness.
Dalmore 15 Year Old (70cl, 40%)

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.
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.
Mackinlay’s Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt The Discovery 1st Edition (70cl, 47.3%)
Yes, this is it – an exact replica of the whisky left in Antarctica by Sir Ernest Shackleton during his Antarctic expedition between 1907 and 1909. The whisky was recreated down to the very last detail by Whyte and Mackay’s blender extraordinaire, Richard Paterson. The final replica bottle of Mackinlay’s blend contains whiskies from Speyside, the Island, and the Highlands, and the recipe even includes some very rare 1983 Glen Mhor!

Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select 70cl, 43%
A brand new addition to the Highland malt maker’s award-winning Principal Collection, the Sherry Cask Select showcases the affinity between The Dalmore and sherry.
This expression begins its journey in American white oak ex-bourbon casks where it spends ten years maturing, laying down the foundations of the distillery’s house style: chocolate, orange and spice. The liquid is then finished in an assemblage of hand-curated sherry barrels from Andalusia in Spain, making this 12-year-old a delicious and decadent drinking experience, full of sweet fruits and autumnal spice.
Speyburn 10 Year Old (1L, 46%)
A big old one litre bottling of this classic, easy drinking Speysider.
Speyburn 10 was, until 2008, the only Speyburn official bottling readily available. This dram, which hits the lighter side of the flavour map, will appear to many as the epitome of a Speyside whisky, with plenty of honeyed cereal, vanilla, light oak, floral and toffee’d notes.
A perfect daily drinker, this is a great tasting, great value whisk
Tomatin 21 Years Old Traveller Exclusive (70cl, 46%)
The latest addition to the Travel Retail exclusive range is a 21 year old single malt matured solely in 1st fill ex-Bourbon casks. Time in ex Bourbon Barrles has brought warm flavours of fresh croissant, apple crumble and manuka honey rounded off with a fruity, buttery finish.
Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old Game of Thrones House Baratheon (70cl, 40%)
The limited-edition Scotch you see here is Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old, a Highland stalwart from a distillery that was said to be a favourite of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and is conveniently situated close to Balmoral Castle. Combined with its proximity to Cairngorms National Park, an area that contains one quarter of Scotland’s native forest and plenty of deer, it’s little wonder that it was paired with House Baratheon, a house with plenty of royal connections and whose sigil features a rampant stag.
Aberfeldy 12 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
The classic 12 Year Old Aberfeldy single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in the Highlands. While the label sadly no longer features a red squirrel, it now comes with a rather handsome black and rose-gold colour palate to match the rich, malty, honeyed flavour profile.

Glenmorangie 16 Year Old The Tribute (1L, 43%)
Glenmorangie’s only lightly peated expression. A tribute to the days-gone by when all Highland whiskies were crafted with peated malted barley. A marriage of whisky distilled from peated and non-peated malted barley, matured in American ex-Bourbon casks. A three-dimensional whisky where Glenmorangie’s famous delicacy is complemented by wood spiciness and subtle hints of smoke.
Mackinlay’s Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt The Journey 2st Edition (70cl, 47.3%)
The 2007 discovery of whisky left in Antarctica by Sir Ernest Shackleton during his famous expedition in the early 1900s led to Richard ‘The Nose’ Paterson using all his skill and experience to recreate this historic whisky, raising £250,000 for the Antarctic Heritage Trust in the process.
Approached by the charity and Alexandra Shackleton (Ernest’s grand-daughter) to produce a second edition of his blended malt to coincide with Tim Jarvis’ Shackleton Epic (the first authentic re-enactment of Shackleton’s extraordinary Antarctic survival journey of 1916), how could Paterson refuse?
Digging out another rare cask of Glen Mhor (an even older one, this time from 1980), as well as some heavily-peated Dalmore(!), he once again recreated the Shackleton whisky, also using malts from Glenfarclas, Mannochmore, Tamnavulin, Ben Nevis, Aultmore, Fettercairn, Pulteney and Jura.
The resulting masterpiece of blending offers something different, whilst clearly coming from the same lineage as his first lovingly recreated malt. A new and critically-acclaimed interpretation of a truly classic whisky.
Oban 14 Year Old (70cl, 43%)
A bustling seaside resort has grown up around the distillery in the two centuries since it was first built in the fishing town of Oban. The West Highland malt is still produced in the same unhurried, traditional fashion and this 14 year old is a classic dram from the distillery.
Glenmorangie The Duthac (1L, 43%)

Plenty of rich, mellow elements throughout this one (as you’d expect from Glenmorangie), with touches of sticky PX sweetness and herb-y spiciness.
Glenmorangie 12 Year Old Lasanta (70cl, 43%)
Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or (70cl, 46%)
Glenmorangie Nectar d’Or is a rich and spicy whiskey with a unique finish in Sauternes casks. Bill Lumsden was one of the pioneers in the use of barrels of wine in the maturation of his whiskeys, especially with this edition that brilliantly bears his name.

Versatile and talented, those Loch Lomond distillers…
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 Luceo Apostoles Sherry Cask (70cl, 40%)

As their own distillery in Edinburgh gets up and running, they released a pair of single malt whiskies from undisclosed distilleries, including this 8 Year Old expression . It’s based around their original 8 Year Old Blend produced long ago, but intriguingly a bit different…

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.
Old Pulteney 10 Year Old (1L, 40%)
All dressed up in an appropriately coastal shade of blue, it’s Old Pulteney 10 Year Old!

Oban Bay Reserve Game of Thrones Single Malts Collection Night’s Watch (70cl, 43%)
If you haven’t seen the show, essentially The Night’s Watch hold and guard the Wall, an immense ice structure which separates the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms from the lands beyond. If you’re not very familiar with Oban, it’s a whisky producer in the Highlands that sits on the edge of Scotland’s western coast that’s known for its clean and intensely fruity Scotch. In our opinion, both provide equally important services. One protects the realm from raiders and worse (no spoilers, people), while the other makes very tasty whisky for us to drink. See – equally important.

GlenDronach Traditionally Peated (70cl, 48%)
As you may have guessed from the name of this expression, GlenDronach is going back in time with Traditionally Peated. More specifically, about 200 years back, to the year 1826 when the distillery was founded, and it was common practice in the Highlands to burn peat in the kiln towards the end of the barley malting. For the whisky, the distillery has kept its traditional sherried style, marrying liquid from a range of Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso sherry and Port casks, all bottled up at 48% ABV.

The Spanish oak in which it rested has imparted a rich golden hue to the liquid – and, of course, an exceptional flavour profile.
Ardnamurchan AD Single Malt 70cl, 46.8%
More awesomeness here from Ardnamurchan! You might be wondering what happened with the name on this one, did the folks at Ardnamurchan forget to add all the usual numbers to the end? Perhaps we got distracted mid-sentence by a colourful bird flying past, or a robot vacuum cleaner buzzing around our feet? The answer is simple, this is no mistake! Going forward, Ardnamurchan’s AD/ bottlings will no longer have all those confusing digits. The whisky remains unchanged though, following its traditional combination of 50% peated and 50% unpeated malt, matured in a combination of 65% bourbon and 35% sherry casks.

This 10 year old expression, however, comes from a combination of ex-Oloroso Sherry and ex-bourbon casks.

Royal Lochnagar distillery is based on the Abergeldie Estate in Royal Deeside, Scotland, close to the mountain Lochnagar.
The first Lochnagar distillery was burnt down in suspicious circumstances in 1824 and a replacement again burnt down in 1841. In 1845 John Begg built the “new” Lochnagar. The distillery was awarded its Royal Warrant in 1848 when John Begg invited Prince Albert to visit the distillery from the nearby Balmoral Castle, the Queen’s residence in the Highlands. The next day the distillery was visited by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their children.
Today Royal Lochnagar is owned by Diageo, and the distillery produces a relatively small amount of whisky, most of which is used in Johnnie Walker black and blue label.

Glenmorangie 16 Year Old The Nectar (70cl, 46%)
Golden in colour and honeyed on the palate, The Nectar is made by finishing Glenmorangie single malt in casks used to age some of the world’s great sweet wines. These include Sauternes and Monbazillac from France, Moscatel from Spain and Tokaji from Hungary. A fitting successor to the discontinued Nectar D’or and an excellent after-dinner dram.
It was the memory of entering a French pastry shop that prompted Glenmorangie head of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden to create the brilliant Glenmorangie The Nectar D’Or. Sadly, in 2023 Glenmorangie made the announcement that Nectar D’or was being discontinued, but we weren’t upset for too long because the Highland Scotch whisky brand has created a more than fitting successor: Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Year Old
It’s a single malt that was aged for 14 years in bourbon casks that was then finished for two more years in a new combination of great sweet white wine casks. This includes French Sauternes and Monbazillac to bring notes of orchard fruit and buttery pastries, Spanish Moscatel for sweet, syrupy dessert flavours, and Hungarian Tokaji barrels for nuttier, honeyed elements.
