Glenfarclas 25 Year Old (70cl, 43%)
An all-time classic, Glenfarclas 25yo is the epitome of long-aged sherried Speyside, gorgeously smooth and silkily-textured, with rich, generous flavours of fruitcake, hazelnuts, dried fruit and a hint of dark chocolate and coffee. A thoroughly delightful dram.

Macallan Lumina (70cl, 41.3%)
The Macallan Quest range (originally released for the Travel Retail market) features four expressions showing off the many, many miles travelled to sources the casks to mature the Speyside whisky. The Lumina expression is made with whisky aged in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, as well as hogsheads. While sherry does get a good look-in with this one, it’s a much more vanilla and toffee-focussed dram.

Macallan Edition No.3 (70cl, 48.3%)
The third release in The Macallan’s wood-focused Edition series saw master perfumer Roja Dove and master whisky maker Bob Dalgarno create a whisky using their very particular sets of skills. Dove pinned down the flavour profile for Edition No. 3 by using the same formula he would for a perfume: pinpointing complementary aromas, and balancing these with a “counterpoint” note. The resulting liquid is a combination of six American and European oak casks, with deliciously sweet, floral notes up front.
This is a collaboration between Bob Dalgarno and Master Perfumer, Roja Dove.
The liquid has been matured in the following types of cask:
1st fill Hudosa Butt
2nd fill Butt
1st fill American Tevasa butts and puncheons.
1st fill European Tevasa hogsheads.
1st fill Bourbon hogsheads and barrels.

Macallan Edition No.4 (70cl, 48.4%)
The fourth release in the Edition Series, a range of whiskies that focuses on The Macallan’s commitment to wood, the Edition No. 4 was aged in a combination of seven different cask types. These include (deep breath guys); European/American Oak refill butts, European/American Oak refill hogsheads, American Oak first fill Vasyma hogsheads, European Oak first fill Diego Martin Rosado butts, European Oak first fill Jose Y Miguel Martin butts, European Oak first fill Tevasa butts/puncheons and European Oak first fill Tevasa hogsheads.
While the previous three editions had attempted to demonstrate the influence each cask has on taste and aroma, master distiller Nick Savage developed Edition No. 4 to reveal the ‘structure of the whisky’. The inspiration was the construction of the stylish £140m distillery.

Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask (70cl, 43%)
This cracking peated cask Balvenie was released in 2010. It was aged traditionally to begin with, before a finish in casks that previously held peated whisky. The result is well balanced and not overpowering. A success!
Balvenie 14 Year Old 2003 Vintage Peat Week (70cl, 48.3%)
Since 2002, the Balvenie distillers have dedicated one week a year to distilling whisky with 100% peated barley, resulting in the Peat Week bottlings! This is the second release in the series – a 14 year old single malt distilled in 2003, showing off hearty helping of rich smoke.
Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood (70cl, 43%)
This 17 year old expression from the Balvenie distillery furthers the concept of their hugely popular 12 year old DoubleWood. “DoubleWood” refers to a consecutive maturation in two different types of casks, also referred to as a “finish”. Exactly like its younger brother, this 17 year old single malt spent the first many years of its maturation in American ex-bourbon barrels, before being transferred to European oak ex-sherry casks. While the initial maturation adds qualities of deeply sweet vanilla, the sherry casks adds dried fruits, and a rich spiciness. The end result is a strikingly complex and delicious whisky, sure to impress even the most seasoned aficionado.

A fabulous Port-finished whisky from the prestigious Speyside distillery, Balvenie. First released in 1996, this whisky has been popular ever since, picking up fans, plaudits and awards across the years.
This whisky takes fine old Balvenie single malt, and transfers it to 30 year old Port pipes for a finishing period, granting this spirit fabulous complexity and depth of flavour. Drinkers should expect a whisky of perfect balance, with notes of red fruit, spice, honey, slight nuttiness and tinned white peaches. This is a delicate and sophisticated dram that rewards patient drinking.
Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask (70cl, 43%)

Glenfiddich 125th Anniversary Edition (70cl, 43%)
In honour of 125 years of whisky production, Glenfiddich released this limited edition single malt Scotch whisky in 2012. For this expression, the chaps at Glenfiddich have used a combination of peated and unpeated whiskies aged in a large proportion of Spanish ex-Sherry butts, as well as American ex-bourbon casks. It was presented alongside a copper stopper, a leaflet giving some background on the release and a handsome presentation case. What better way to celebrate 125 years of Glenfiddich whisky than with more of it?
The whisky is beautifully presented, with a copper cork, metal box and information leaflet. A peated Glenfiddich is not something you see everyday, and in the 5 years since this whisky was released, it has become increasingly rare, so “Fiddich fans should move fast if they want to sample this tremendous dram!
Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix (70cl, 47.6%)
Selecting and marrying the finest Oloroso and American oak casks from warehouses struck by heavy snow, our Malt Master created Snow Phoenix.
Creamy and vibrant on the nose, with honey and chocolate on the palate. And sherry notes mellowing into a long finish.
Created by chance, crafted by our expert.
Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Age of Discovery Red Wine Cask Finish (70cl, 40%)
As one of three in the limited Age of Discovery range, this 19 year old single malt whisky has been finished in oak casks which previously held South American red wines. The types of wine which the casks previously held are Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which impart their own unique set of flavour into the whisky. The end result is rich, spicy and complex, with lots of notes of red berries.
Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Age of Discovery Madeira Cask (70cl, 40%)
Glenfiddich’s first ever 19 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky.
Finished in fine, aged Madeira wine casks from an independent island winery dating back to 1850 we named this expression, Glenfiddich Age of Discovery.
An earthy, bright whisky with a warmth that fades to long sweetness. The first time we’ve used Madeira casks for incredible, rich depth.
Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Age of Discovery Bourbon Cask (70cl, 40%)
The Glenfiddich Age of Discovery range is released just to the travel retail market until 2012 when the 19 year Old Madeira Cask was released to to the UK retail market to great excitement and applause. However this meant that Glenfiddich needed a new Age of Discovery bottling to replace the excellent Madeira cask, so here we have it – the Bourbon cask a fantastic follow-up that delivers as strongly as its older brother.
Glenfiddich Experimental Series Project XX (70cl, 47%)
20 of the whisky industry’s most exceptional minds came together to create this truly unique, pioneering single malt expression.
With its deep golden hue, Project XX embodies the warm, fruity character of a classic Glenfiddich whisky with hints of apple blossom, summer fruits and ripe pear. But its multiple personalities are revealed with hints of sweet candyfloss, cinnamon spice, almonds and rich port tannins with the odd whisper of liquorice. Deep and mellow, the finish is long lasting with a lingering sweet oakiness.
Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Experimental Series Winter Storm (Batch 2) (70cl, 43%)
The eagerly-awaited second batch of Glenfiddich’s Winter Storm once again sees well-aged whisky from the legendary distillery finished in casks that previously held Canadian icewine (made using grapes harvested while frozen resulting in a powerfully sweet tipple). Released as part of the Glenfiddich Experimental Series, malt master Brian Kinsman believes that only older whiskies can stand up to the intense influence of icewine, which is why Winter Storm is built around 21 year old single malt.
Glenlivet 18 Year Old Auchvaich Single Cask Edition (70cl, 55.7%)
No of Bottles 588
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Auchvaich arrives in a gorgeous wooden presentation box with gold-plated plaque. The non-chill filtered single cask edition was specially bottled in March 2016, at a cask strength of 55.7%.
Glenlivet 1983 Cellar Collection (70cl, 46%)
Distilled at The Glenlivet in 1983 and aged in French Limousin casks before it was bottled in 2003.
A frequently-overlooked bottle in Glenlivet’s Cellar Collection, perhaps as it remains one of the youngest of the series (even at 20 years old). This is sterling stuff, nonetheless, described by Jim Murray as ‘sophistication and attitude rolled into one’. With the finish adding nuance rather than dominating the palate, this is a minor classic of the genre.

Now it seems we’re being treated to a new mystery, a cipher, in fact! Master Distiller Alan Winchester once again invites us to decipher the secrets of a unique single malt…

Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish (1L, 48%)
Our latest expression in the Nàdurra family boldly draws its inspiration from The Glenlivet’s historic whisky-making traditions in which peat smoke was used to dry the malted barley, lending a smoky flavour to the whisky. Unlike its two siblings, the Nàdurra Peated Whisky is finished in casks that previously held heavily peated Scotch whisky, giving a gently smoky twist to the classic, smooth and fruity house style that The Glenlivet is known for.

This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world – deservedly so.” Representing The Glenlivet’s signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it’s distinctive smoothness. The mineral-rich water that comes from Josie’s Well helps form the flavours during mashing and fermentation, whilst the specific height and width of the copper stills add a delicate yet complex character. Keep a bottle on hand for every occasion.
