Royal Salute 21 Year Old Ruby Flagon (70cl, 40%)
Royal Salute 21 Year is an homage by Chivas Regal to the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. At 21 years, it is also the youngest in the Royal Salute line-up. Why 21 years old you might ask? 21 is an important designation as it refers to the 21-gun-salute, for generations a form of honor and respect to sovereigns and dignitaries. Be aware that there are 3 different colors for the ceramic decanters (sapphire, ruby, and emerald), but the spirit is the same.

Royal Salute 29 Year Old PX Sherry Cask (70cl, 40%)
The Royal Salute 29 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish edition pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s first official visit to Spain in 1988. As a result, the packaging design, decorated in the style of the decorative street tiling of Madrid, pays tribute to the colourful and poetic Spanish architecture.

Royal Salute 30 Year Old Key to the Kingdom (50cl, 40%)
A tribute to the royal key ceremony is the 30-year-old Key to the Kingdom whiskey from Royal Salute. This ritual takes place annually in Edinburgh at the gates of the famous Holyrood Palace and is one of the proudest in the British monarchy – it symbolizes freedom and honor. The blend includes a variety of expertly selected whiskeys from Scotland, all of which have been matured for at least 30 years.
A new expression from Royal Salute, celebrating its connection to the British monarchy and taking its name from the Ceremony of the Keys, held annually in Edinburgh. It proffers aromas of tarte Tatin , blood orange and subtle peat smoke on the nose, with rhubarb, cinnamon and smoked peach on the palate.
Royal Salute 32 Year Old Union of the Crowns (50cl, 40%)
The Royal Salute 32 Year Old Union of the Crowns is unfortunately a limited release from Chivas Brothers, because this blended Scotch makes one heck of an interesting dram. This unique edition, launched originally for the Travel Retail market, salutes (ahem) the moment King James VI fused three kingdoms to create the modern British Monarchy in 1603.
A truly special blend, whisky from distilleries long-since closed like Caperdonich and Lochside are combined with distinctive offerings chosen to balance a complex taste; such as the fruity character of Glen Keith, the creamy texture of Longmorn; the sweet notes of Tormore and the rich qualities of Braeval.
For all that effort to blend this Scotch, you better believe the Chivas Brothers didn’t skimp on presentation. This stylish and sophisticated porcelain flagon was crafted from purest clay, water and tempered fire. The real treat, however, comes from the secret firing process that ensures that each bottle stands utterly individual, because every flagon is glazed with a completely singular patina. Very much a chance to make the Royal Salute 32 Year Old Union of the Crowns truly all your own.
This royal offering is sure to appeal to whisky aficionados in search of a rare treat, so make sure you’re one of them!
Royal Salute 38 Year Old Stone of Destiny (70cl, 40%)
This is an incredible 38 year old blended whisky from Chivas, named for the Stone of Destiny – a block of red sandstone used in the coronations of the monarchs of Scotland and later the monarchs of the United Kingdom.
A very special 38 year old Royal Salute from Chivas, Stone of Destiny is named after the ancient stone used for British Royal Coronation ceremonies for centuries, symbolising the approval for the incoming monarch.
The Stone of Destiny, after much intrigue and dark shenanigans, is now back in Scotland.
Sazerac Straight Rye (70cl, 45%)

Scapa 14 Year Old 70cl, 40%
From a tiny distillery in Orkney, Scapa is often overlooked in favour of its more famous neighbour Highland Park. This 14yo was quite a shortlived bottling -it was introduced by then new owners Chivas Brothers to replace the old 12yo, but was subsequently superseded by the now-familiar 16 year old standard official bottling.
Scapa 16 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
Scapa released this 16 year old expression in 2008 to replace the popular 14 year old. Highly regarded in its time, the 16 year old was discontinued in 2015.
The initially controversial 16yo official expression of Scapa is now winning people round with a jump in quality after a few wobbly years following the rapid transition from the much-loved 12yo via the short-lived 14yo. Orkney’s less shouted about (but still lovely in its own way) malt whisky has found its feet

Scapa The Orcadian (70cl, 40%)
Scapa Skiren is a 2015 release from the Orkney distillery. Aged in first-fill American oak casks, this is creamy and sweet with notes of tropical fruit and heather.
Scapa The Orcadian Gift Pack (70cl, 40%)
Skiren is part of the Scapa range, which has been distilled in Scotland’s only remaining working Lomond Still. Initially matured in first fill American oak casks. The name Skiren derives from the Old Norse word for “glittering bright skies”.
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 & 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.
Shanky’s Whip Black Irish Whiskey Liqueur 5cl, 33%
A creamy, sweet liqueur made with a combination of Black Irish whiskey, Irish spirit, caramel and vanilla. The result is aromas of toffee, butter, cream, vanilla and sweet spices that are echoed throughout the palate.

Sheep Dip Blended Malt (70cl, 40%)
A great whisky made from 16 malt whiskies aged from 8 to 21 years. Jim Murray describes Sheep Dip as “young and sprightly”. Great retro packaging too. The only thing is, the picture of the sheep on the bottle doesn’t actually look like a sheep, it actually looks like an angry spaniel with horns.
Sheep Dip Islay Blended Malt (70cl, 40%)
A variation of the wonderful Sheep Dip Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, made with malt whiskies from the island of Islay. Plenty of classic Islay character runs through its core, and it’s still adorned with the picture of a sheep on the label, so all’s good here! The name Sheep Dip comes from the olden days when people in the West Country used to make their own whisky and hide it in barrels marked “SD” to avoid paying taxes on it.
Singleton 12 Year Old of Dufftown Flask Plastic (20cl, 40%)
A straightforward, nutty and malty single malt from Speyside, the Singleton of Dufftown was released to replace the Singleton of Auchroisk. It’s aged in a high proportion of European oak casks.
If you’re looking to use this little stunner in a cocktail, then you could do a lot worse than making a classic Highball. You can find a recipe for one right here.
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. The ruling Lord of the Riverlands, House Tully embodies the power and ferocity of the rivers it sits between. Using the power found in their positioning, House Tully forged strong alliances and built a history of honour, family and duty. Built along the banks of the River Fiddich, Glendullan Distillery originally relied on the waters it lay beside, using a water wheel to power the entire distillery. Like the Tullys themselves, this single malt can benefit from a splash of water, opening up flavours of green apple, honey and sweet vanilla.

Distilled in 2001, this 19-year-old Singleton of Glendullan single malt was initially matured in refill American oak casks and finished in ex-Cognac casks before being bottled as part of Diageo’s 2021 Special Releases. Aromas of dried fruit – figs and apricots – orange peel, fruitcake, vanilla marzipan and butter fill the nose. The palate offers notes of dry oak, green apples, grapes and coconut, with ginger, beeswax and a hint of smoke lingering in the finish.

Singleton of Glendullan Classic (1L, 40%)
Originally released for the Travel Retail market, The Singleton of Glendullan Classic was created to show off the distillery’s broad style. The result is elegant and rather light, with vanilla and fresh orchard fruits sat right at the fore.
Sir Edwards (70cl, 40%)
In summary it can be stated that the Sir Edwards is a Scotch Whisky classic blend which reflects the best of Scotland. No excessive smoke, no tropical fruit or sea notes. Sir Edwards is still productive and puts its focus on soft refreshing facets. We tend to recommend Whisky “on the rocks” or to enjoy with cocktails.
Smokehead Extra Rare (1L, 40%)
A heavily peated Islay single malt from Ian Macleod, Smokehead Extra Rare is a travel retail exclusive, and offer tons of flavour…
Smokehead High Voltage (70cl, 58%)
A high-ABV variation on the classic Smokehead Islay single malt, Smokehead High Voltage is described as an “all-out attack” on your senses by its producer. Which, y’know, sounds pretty intense. If you’re a fan of heavily-peated whisky, you’re in for a treat.
Also, yes, it was incredibly hard to resist making an Electric Six reference when writing this bottling note.
Smokehead Rum Riot (70cl, 43%)
When rich, peaty, salty Smokehead from Islay collides with spicy, sweet Caribbean rum casks, carnage is inevitable. There’s a spirited flavour fight going on and you’ve got a front row seat.
Smokehead Sherry Bomb (70cl, 48%)
A Sherry and peat go toe to toe with Smokehead Sherry Bomb! It’s a well-peated single malt from an undisclosed Islay distillery, matured in Oloroso sherry casks, boasting smoke and dried fruit by the truckload. It’s a powerfully flavoursome dram, and unashamedly so.
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
Speyburn 10 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
This 10 year old single malt was a gold medal winner at the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. A classic from the Speyburn distillery.
Speyburn 16 Year Old (1L, 43%)
This 16 Year Old Speyburn spent its days maturing exclusively in American oak bourbon barrels, so this Speysider is packed full of all those creamy vanilla notes we’ve come to know and love from the cask type and Speyburn’s spirit. This was initially released as a Travel Retail Exclusive, presented in a one litre bottle at 43% ABV.
Speyburn Bradan Orach (70cl, 40%)

Speyburn Hopkins Reserve (1L, 46%)
Hopkins Reserve from Speyburn was created as a tribute to John Hopkins, founder of the distillery.

A mysterious Speyside single malt here from That Boutique-y Whisky Company! It’s an 8 year old expression, produced at an undisclosed distillery in the aforementioned Speyside region.

Springbank 10 Year Old Local Barley (70cl, 51.6%)
Springbank Local Barley 10yo 2021 700ml
This is one of a select number of releases produced using malted barley harvested from neighbouring farms in the Campbeltown area. They were first introduced in the late 1990s, and were eventually re-named as the Local Barley series in the 2000s.
This is the 2021 release of the mid-2010s revival of the Local Barley range. Originally intended to be a 5 part series, which would have made this the last, but this is instead now being marketed as an annual release.
Distilled in May 2011 and bottled in December 2021, the ‘local barley’ comes from the varietal, Belgravia, and was grown in Campbeltown at the Glencraigs Farm.
Limited to only 15000 bottles.
This Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been distilled from barley grown on the Kintyre Peninsula within a few miles of Springbank. The barley is then malted on our own malt floors using traditional production techniques before it is turned into spirit, matured into whisky and bottled on-site, making this a 100% Campbeltown Single Malt.”
The 2021-release of Springbank’s annual Local Barley 10 Year Old single malt has been made with Belgravia barley from Glencraigs Farm near Campbeltown. Aromas of digestive biscuits, summer flowers, rich malt, vanilla custard, custard cream biscuits and vibrant cherry fill the nose, complemented by notes of Victoria sponge, honey, sweet barley, sticky syrup and salted caramel throughout the palate.

Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength 2021 70cl, 55.4%
The Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown has once again bottle up a cracking cask strength edition of its 12 year old single malt. This time, they’ve used 50% bourbon casks and 50% sherry casks to build the expression, and it has been bottled up at 55.4% ABV. A dozen years of maturation has done this one very well indeed, as it packs plenty of Springbank’s familiar deliciousness, with a wealth of fudge and dried fruit notes.

Springbank Green 12 Year Old
A Springbank produced from 100% organic barley, then matured in nothing but American Bourbon casks.

This Springbank 12 Years Old is nicknamed Green. It is made from naturally farmed barley, but as the distillery itself doesn’t have the right certificates, the resulting whisky can’t officially be called organic. Hence green.

Those clever clogs over at Darkness got their hands on a sought-after drop of whisky here. This 21-year-old Springbank single malt was given the Darkness treatment with a finish in one of its custom-made octave casks, that previously held oloroso sherry. The coastal malt and sherried sweetness make a perfect partnership.
Springbank Vintage 1997 Batch No.2 bottled 2008 (70cl, 54.9%)
This is the second batch of Springbank Vintage 1997. The first batch proved very popular indeed, and when this one was bottled in 2008, it was yet another stunning release from the distillery in Campbeltown. Something must have been happening in 1997… It was the year that Daft Punk released their first album, and the Chemical Brothers released brilliant their second album in 1997 too… Perhaps great electronic music is the the perfect soundtrack for distilling great whisky.
Quite a highly acclaimed Springbank chosen by Frank McHardy, distilled in 1997 and bottled in June 2007 at cask strength.

This is the original release of Suntory Royal, bottled to commemorate the company’s 60th anniversary in 1959.

Suntory Royal 15 Year Old Bot.1980s For Bar Leigh 15th Anniversary 70cl, 43%

One of the Japanese whisky giants, Kotobukiya, or as we know them today; Suntory. The company was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899, first as an importer of Western wines and liquor. As he progressed within the business, he decided to build Japan’s first distillery despite protests from company directors. This is where Masataka Taketsuru comes into the picture. He was hired as a distillery executive at Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto. He later left the company to found his own. Suntory developed Japan’s interest with whisky by opening Torys bars throughout the country and introducing ways to drink and enjoy the spirit. Now they produce numerous ranges including Yamazaki, Hibiki, and Hakushu.
Blended whisky Suntory Royal was launched in the 1960 to mark the company’s 60th anniversary. This 15-year-old bottling is light and soft with notes of toffee, ginger and spice and is a great introduction to the world of Japanese whisky.

Suntory The Chita (70cl, 43%)
The Chita Japanese single grain whisky is one of the selection of fantastic distilleries owned by Suntory.
Chita is their main expression – a whisky matured in a combination of Sherry, bourbon and (interestingly) wine casks.
Chita whisky is great for the summer months.
Suntory Toki (70cl, 43%)
A blended whisky from Suntory’s three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Toki has a different composition to another Suntory blend, Hibiki, as its main components are Hakashu single malt and Chita grain whisky. It should work really well in a highball.
Fun fact: ‘Toki’ means ‘time’ in Japanese.
Suntory World Whisky Ao 70cl, 43%
Originating in Ireland and Scotland, whisky later migrated to the New World. It evolved history and culture, which dictate a whisky’s personality, unique to Canada and the United States.

Beam Suntory holds distilleries from all five regions, inspiring the company to apply its resources toward developing a whisky for a new era.
The careful process of selecting component whiskies from around the world yielded a premium blend in 2019. Produced in-house, Suntory World Whisky Ao represents each of the world’s five top whiskies.
Taketsuru 17 Year Old Pure Malt 70cl, 43%
This range of blended malts is named after the Nikka founder. Taketsuru 17 year old was highly acclaimed before it was announced in early 2020 that age-statements in the series were to be discontinued. This followed a similar move with the company’s single malts in 2015, all brought about by stock shortages due to an unprecedented demand for Japanese whisky in the 21st century.
Taketsuru 21 Year Old Pure Malt (70cl, 43%)
This range of blended malts is named after the Nikka founder. Taketsuru 21 year old was highly acclaimed, but was discontinued alongside the 25 and 17 year old expressions in 2020 after unprecedented 21st century demand for Japanese whisky left even its largest companies suffering from stock shortages.

Talisker Neist Point 70cl, 45.8%
Initially launched for travel retail, Talisker Neist Point is named after Skye’s most westerly point with the lighthouse depicted on the fold out box. It’s a no age statement release that’s said to use some of their “finest, rare casks that have been left to rest longer” alongside younger whiskies to create the desired flavour experience.
Talisker Port Ruighe (70cl, 45.8%)
You can spend years waiting for a new release in Talisker’s core range then two come along at once! Hot on the heels of Talisker Storm in early 2013 comes Talisker’s Port Ruighe, pronounced ‘Port Ree’.
This no age statement release is finished in Port wine casks, imparting a new dimension to this Isle of Skye single malt.
Talisker Select Reserve Game of Thrones House Greyjoy (70cl, 45.8%)
A sea-faring people, House Greyjoy rule over the Iron Islands and worship the Drowned God. The Ironborn live and breathe the sea, making their fortune amidst salt and smoke. With the sweat of their brows and the strength of their backs the Greyjoys have forged their place amongst the great Houses of Westeros, feeding their people and surviving on the desolate Iron Islands. They pay the Iron Price to succeed. On the shores of one of the most remote and rugged Islands in Scotland, the Isle of Skye, lies Talisker Distillery. Its wave-beaten shores imbue its whisky with Talisker’s signature maritime character. An intense, smoky single malt, with spicy and sweet notes, whose maritime edge makes this the perfect whisky to represent House Greyjoy.
Talisker Skye 70cl, 45.8%
An easy-drinking Talisker, taking the distillery’s classically rugged character and softening it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. More approachable, but still definitely Talisker.
