Single malt Scotch whisky is one of the most revered spirits in the world. It has such scope for variation, it can offer complexity or simplicity, unbridled power or a subtle whisper. To legally be called a single malt Scotch, the whisky must be distilled at a single distillery in Scotland, in a copper pot still from nothing other than malted barley, yeast and water. It must then be aged in an oak cask for at least three years and a day, and be bottled at no less than 40% abv.

Macallan 1851 Inspiration (70cl, 41.3%)
Macallan 1851 Inspiration
Macallan 1851 Inspiration is the final bottle in the set of 5 of Macallan’s famous ‘Replica’ series, the 1851 edition which was bottled in the 2000s. The set of 5 bottles have an interesting back story and include The Macallan Distillers Limited (as it was known at the time) buying a number of old and rare bottles during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
These old bottles were then used as the source to create the replica series where Macallan tried to replicate the nose, the taste and the packaging of some of their bottles from earlier times. They drew a tiny sample from the bottle and together with his team of expert nosers, began to search for whisky which matches the profile.
As well as replicating the whisky they were determined to recreate the 1851 bottle and labels. The challenge for Stolzle Flaconnage was to reproduce the idiosyncratic irregularities of a mid-19th-century mouth-blown bottle with 21st-century technology. To reconstruct the labels, calligrapher Carol Kemp re-drew the individual letters while illustrator Brian Taylor reproduced the sketch.’
This highly collectable, limited release Macallan 1851 Inspiration Replica bottling was designed to recreate the spirit and overall style of Macallan as of 1850s.
Inspired by the production from their own history, Macallan released this bottled based on what they would have been doing in 1851. The bottles were handmade and the corks were placed by hand. As a final touch, the bottles were sealed by wax by hand-dipping.

Glenfiddich 21 Years Old The Valley of the Deer 70cl, 40%
A replacement for the popular Gran Reserva (itself a replacement for the Havana Reserve), Glenfiddich 21yo is still finished in rum casks, although the rum is simply referred to as ‘Caribbean’ after the unfortunate controversy the old Havana Reserve caused amongst our American brethren.
Glenfiddich 18 Years Old The Valley of the Deer 70cl, 40%
One of the best releases from one the best selling distilleries in the world. This one litre bottling allows the drinker to savour the subtle complexities of this dram even longer.
Produced by Speyside giants Glenfiddich, this whisky sits close to the top of their standard range, and enjoys a superb reputation with both drinkers and critics alike.
Matured in a mixture of former Bourbon American white oak barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, both of which are reassembled onsite by Glenfiddich’s high skilled coopers, this whisky possesses fabulous balance.
After 18 years of maturation, the effects of the cask are highly apparent on the palate, with both rich vanilla from the Bourbon barrels and dried fruit and spices from the Oloroso cask. Nevertheless, the spirit maintains the classic apple, pear and warm malt flavours that have come to be the trademark of Glenfiddich.
The whisky is bottled in modern rendition of Glenfiddich’s classic triangular bottle shape. With a soft mouthfeel and excellent complexity, this would make a great luxury option of any fans of this mighty distillery.

Bowmore Legend (70cl, 40%)
Bowmore Legend is the NAS entry-level expression of the distillery, age between 8 to 10 years on North American Oak casks which previously contained Bourbon. A young, rather gentle Bowmore. Whilst not massively complex or full-bodied, Legend is still a great value for money malt.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 016 Bot.2022 (70cl, 58.5%)
Our Original Cask Strength is the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay. Aged 10 years, it’s barrier-filtered from the cask to remove unwanted char particles – and that’s all that comes between you and the real Laphroaig.
We don’t chill-filter our Original Cask Strength, and we don’t reduce its natural strength. So, what you pour is what we draw from the barrel — the heart of charred seasoned oak barrels, our blue peat smoke and nutty barley, in a truly natural experience.
Batch 16 is our most powerful expression within the Cask Strength family, characterised by a 58.5% proof point and notes of vanilla and sea salt intermingled with hints of freshly ground black pepper and pork crackling. A dram poured neat will fill the nose with aromas of sweet apples and caramelised pastry, underpinned with a tang of cereal and tanned leather notes. The finish, a mixture of gentle spice, charred oak and smoked mackerel with an oily mouthful.
Lagavulin 8 Year Old Gift Set Saveurs D’écosse (70cl, 48%)

Glenfiddich Master’s Edition Sherry Cask Finish (70cl, 43%)

This whisky has been matured for some time in traditional oak casks before finishing its maturation in sherry casks.

Macallan 25 Year Old Anniversary Malt
A stunning example of Macallan 25 year old.
For many years The Macallan released their 25 year old whiskies as ‘Anniversary Malts’, in some cases they carried a distillation vintage and in other cases they did not. This particular Anniervsary Malt carries no distillation vintage.
This fantastic 25 year old sherry-oak-matured Macallan was bottled as part of the highly acclaimed Anniversary Malt series.
This rare phenomenon is in excellent condition and comes complete with original wooden presentation case.

He hand-selected and blended the whisky before it was maturated in European and American oak casks with three variants; ex-wine, ex-sherry and ex-bourbon.
Irish Reserve 26 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
A 26 Year Old Irish single malt whiskey specially produced for Aldi.
Another day, another long-aged Aldi single malt. An Irish whiskey this time, and once again I’ve elbowed my way past the natural Malt correspondent to chip in with my tuppence worth first.
26years, in Irish whiskey terms, is ages. A quick scroll through any of the obvious channels will yield hundreds of scotch whiskies of that age or older, but properly mature Irish is much thinner on the ground.
It’s brilliant to see Aldi move beyond Scotland when putting together their rare whisk(e)y offering for this year. Makes one hope that their gaze might turn upon the USA – or even Canada – in 2018.

GlenAllachie 18 Year Old New Release (70cl, 46%)
A glorious single malt from GlenAllachie, produced under the watchful eye of its legendary Master Distiller Billy Walker! With fifty years in the blending biz, Billy certainly knows how to select and marry the best casks, and this 18-year-old expression is a superb testament to that talent. Casks were selected from across the distillery’s 16 warehouses, some of which date back to the 1970s. Impressive stuff as ever with all those classic notes of nutty toffee, robust malt, and honeyed fruit that GlenAllachie does so well, plus, this is the shiny new bottle design, launched in 2024.
GlenAllachie 15 Year Old Sherry Cask New Release (70cl, 46%)
Originally added to the GlenAllachie core range in 2019, this 15-year-old single malt underwent a redesign in 2024. The whisky was treated to a finishing period in sherry casks before bottling. The casks in question were a combination of puncheons and hogsheads that previously held Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry. Master distiller Billy Walker described this expression as having an “exceptional balance of the distillery’s spirit and the influence of the sherry casks used during maturation.” We’d have to agree.
GlenAllachie 12 Year Old New Release (70cl, 46%)
The flagship in GlenAllachie’s new core range, released in July 2018. Matured in a mixture of virgin oak, oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, this has sweet flavours of honey, marzipan, bananas and butterscotch.
Prior to 2017, when the distillery was acquired by master distiller Billy Walker, GlenAllachie whisky was most commonly found in blends.
GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 11 (70cl, 59.4%)
Batch 11 of GlenAllachie’s 10 Year Old Cask Strength welcomes a shiny new design for the beloved single malt, produced under the watchful eye of master distiller Billy Walker and demonstrating the importance of his masterful cask management. This edition marries single malt matured in Pedro Ximénez, oloroso, red wine and virgin oak casks, and was bottled at a natural cask strength of 59.4% ABV.
GlenAllachie 9 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish 70cl, 48%
A single malt Scotch whisky from GlenAllachie’s Wood Collection matured in well-seasoned oloroso butts. This has delivered bold layers of coffee beans, sticky raisins, and stem ginger that works in tandem with The GlenAllachie’s honey-rich house style, a contrast allowed to shine by bottling this whisky without chill-filtration or additional colouring at a substantial 48% ABV.
GlenAllachie 9 Year Old Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish 70cl, 48%
From GlenAllachie’s Wood Collection comes an Amontillado sherry finish single malt Scotch whisky. Beginning its life as a Fino, Amontillado sherry undergoes an additional maturation period without a ‘flor’ layer, a stage of oxidative ageing that develops a richer colour and more robust characteristics. Hogshead casks that previously held this sherry style were used to age this whisky, bottled at 48% ABV without chill-filtration or additional colouring.
GlenAllachie 9 Year Old Fino Sherry Cask Finish 70cl, 48%
Fino is the driest sherry style which is made by biologically aging the wine for at least two years under a ‘flor’: a yeast layer that prevents oxidation. It’s known for its pale appearance and delicate sweetness, which is harnessed by GlenAllachie for this whisky, finished in Fino sherry casks. It brings notes of sugared almonds, custard, and orchard fruit in a single malt Scotch whisky which was bottled at 48% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour for The Wood Collection.

Glenglassaugh Portsoy (70cl, 49.1%)
After two decades of silence, the Glenglassaugh distillery reawoke in 2008, and now it’s time to discover a brand new single malt, produced under the expert direction of master blender Rachel Barrie. Portsoy is a richly peated single malt, named after the coastal distillery’s neighbouring harbour village. Matured in a selection of sherry, bourbon, and Port casks, it boasts a satisfyingly smoky, maritime character with waves of tropical fruit, salted liquorice, sticky soy, and chocolate.
Glenglassaugh Sandend (70cl, 50.5%)
After laying silent for over two decades, the Glenglassaugh stills were fired back up in 2008, and in 2023, a brand new core range is ready! The distillery sits on the rugged north Aberdeenshire coast, nestled behind the beautiful surfer’s haven, Sandend Bay. Master blender Rachel Barrie has fond childhood memories of time spent at Sandend and even learned to surf there, and now the bay is honoured in the form of this unpeated single malt. Matured in a combo of bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks, it’s bursting with notes of tropical fruit and tablet, with delicate coastal salinity in the distance.
Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old (70cl, 45%)
A milestone moment for the Glenglassaugh distillery, which fired its stills back up in 2008 after over two decades of silence. After that reawakening, a growing stash of single malt has been patiently maturing in the distillery’s coastal warehouses, under the watchful eye of master blender Rachel Barrie. 2023 sees the launch of this brand new flagship 12-year-old single malt. Drawn from a selection of bourbon, sherry, and red wine casks, it’s layered with soft stone fruits, toasted vanilla, softly salted chocolate, and sweet, nutty meringue.
Benriach Smoke Season 70cl, 52.8%
Celebrating the time of year when Benriach produces its peated spirit, Smoke Season is the distillery’s smokiest whisky to date! While smoky whiskies used to be much more of a thing in the Speyside region many moons ago, that’s not quite the case these days. However, Benriach has long produced peated spirit for a short while each year, and this expression shows off the fruits of that labour in its full splendour! Matured in a combination of bourbon barrels and virgin oak casks, this one packs a bold flavour profile for sure.
Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask (75cl, 43%)
This Bottle is 75cl and white label
This whisky has been matured for 14 years in traditional oak casks before being transferred to Caribbean rum casks to impart some extra flavour. This process has created a well-rounded and drinkable whisky with notes of fruit and vanilla.

Macallan M Decanter 2023 Edition 70cl, 45%
The epitome of Natural Color, it is the result of our commitment to craftsmanship and the use of the finest, 100% natural ingredients.
M is one of the darkest whiskeys we create. Aged in a small, hand-picked number of sherry oak casks, it proudly showcases The Macallan’s rich natural color.
DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
The Macallan M, 2022 release, one of The Macallan’s darkest expressions, highlights a rare selection of irreplaceable casks. Long exposure to sherry oak has produced a deep and brooding single malt.
This rare and exclusive spirit embodies transparency, as the quality of the whiskey glitters in the Lalique crystal decanter that encloses our naturally dark spirit. A personification of the rich influence that sherry-aged oak barrels have on the spirit within.
MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS AND RICH HERITAGE
The spirit is presented in a pristine crystal decanter. Individually numbered, it is a masterpiece by Lalique, the doyen of French glassmaking since 1888. The decanter’s six facets reflect and refract light, bringing the dark whiskey to life.
The inspiration comes from the six cornerstones of The Macallan, namely the winery, our curious little stills, the exceptional oak barrels, the sherry wine, the natural color and the mastery. Together they form the basis for the renowned quality and rich character of our whiskey.
A CELEBRATION OF MASTERSHIP
The carafe was designed by creative guru Fabien Baron, whose vision combines aesthetic expression with commercial art at its finest. His dramatic concept challenged Lalique considerably. The vessel’s sculptural geometry takes the craft of crystal glass into new territory, a vision for the future created with respect for the glories of the past.
A darkness full of promise. a light that sparkles in the sun. There is no better expression for single malt and modern crystal glasses that could complement each other.
Macallan M Black Decanter 2023 Edition 70cl, 46%
A tribute to our unrelenting creativity and craftsmanship, this rare expression is a harmonious balance of classic Macallan with an unexpected peated note, resulting in a complex single malt worth savouring.
A MOST COMPLEX RELEASE
Rare, black ended casks holding peated whisky have been meticulously selected to create this unique expression. The smoke-infused spirit matured in these sherry seasoned oak casks has gathered distinction and depth over decades.
Our Whisky Mastery Team have used this rare peat note to create an extraordinary whisky, continuing to push the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship. An affectionate history of a whisky, it expressively chronicles bygone crafts of the generations that made it. Those lucky to meet it will never forget their rendezvous.
Subtly smoky and brooding it may be, but the whisky possesses the spark and breeding of a true Macallan. In its honour, its new home is hand crafted from black Lalique crystal.
The Macallan M Black is utterly unique. Precious, peat infused single malt, Lalique finesse and lateral creativity are married seamlessly. This remarkable release is truly one to cherish.
The Macallan M embodies Natural Colour, reflecting our dedication to mastery and craftsmanship. We are committed to using the finest, 100% natural ingredients and exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks. A rare spirit epitomising transparency, the whisky glistens in a handcrafted Lalique crystal decanter. The six facets of the decanter reflect and refract light, bringing the dark, burnished whisky to life.
M was matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, proudly showcasing our rich Natural Colour, while the transparent decanter reflects honesty as there is no artificial colouring. Prolonged contact with the sherry seasoned oak casks have burnished the deep and brooding single malt; The Macallan M presents a chord of rich flavour notes. With an amber hue, M reveals the Distillery’s classic sherry seasoned, full-flavoured character imparting notes of chocolate, rich dried fruit and spice.

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.
A fruity, sweet single malt from Ardnamurchan distillery, AD was made with a combination of peated and un-peated malt and matured in both ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks. Aromas of toasted marshmallows, pebble beaches, orange oil and popcorn fill the nose, complemented by notes of melted chocolate, marshmallow, lime cordial, sea salt, bitter orange, dark chocolate and salted popcorn throughout the palate.

Macallan 18 Year Old Single Malt 1994 Special Box Release Original Box
Macallan vintage releases produced by Campbell, Hope & King tended to be aged around the 15 year old mark, but when Macallan took over the responsibility in 1980, they toyed for a few releases with more advanced age-statements of 17 and 18 years old. The latter was deemed the optimum maturation, and the official 18 year old was launched in 1984. It is now an absolute classic of the whisky world. This is the release of Macallan 18 Year Old that carried a vintage. In this case, the whiskies were distilled in 1994 and earlier years.
The famous Macallan 18 year old no longer carries the vintage that the spirit was originally distilled in. This is the final release carrying that year.
