Highland Park 25 Year Old Old Bottle (70cl, 48.1%)
Highland Park 25yo is a terrifically complex, rich, woody, sherried dram. It seems as if this release will be the last at cask strength as the company is running low on stocks, so don’t tarry too long if you want one of these.

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.

Here, we have something unique. A limited release of 3,350 bottles of pure mystery and intrigue. The label says “from The Glenlivet Distillery”, and on release that’s all anybody knew. No tasting notes. No cask details. Nothing.
Over the weeks following the release, the mystery was slowly unravelled through a variety of online sensory challenges on The Glenlivet website and Facebook pages. Master Distiller Alan Winchester also interacted with the online community, fielding questions and pointing people in the right direction…

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.

Deep and mellow, the finish is long lasting with a lingering sweet oakiness.

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 19 Year Old Age of Discovery Madeira Cask (70cl, 40%)

Highland Park 17 Year Old The Dark (70cl, 52.9%)
BACKGROUND
THE DARK shares the story of the noble Viking warriors who are our ancestors, of our contrasting island seasons and of the intense balance of our whisky.
STORY
Dark and light are concepts that exist in opposition, yet together create a perfect balance. One cannot exist without the other; as one appears, the other disappears; together they create something greater than themselves – in nature, a perfect, continuous cycle.
In THE DARK – a special release of only 28,000 bottles – we celebrate autumn and winter on Orkney; a time to escape from the wild weather outside and gather together with friends and family, sharing long nights of conversation and laughter around the table, around the fire.
Presented in a beautifully embossed black glass bottle, the serpent dragon design takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas and embraces both the high sun of summer solstice and the low sun of winter solstice – the polar opposites of our island seasons – while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors, here on Orkney.
Names then gave they to noon and twilight, morning they named, and the waning moon, night and evening, the years to number.
Highland Park 17 Year Old The Light (70cl, 52.9%)
Together with THE DARK, THE LIGHT shares the story of the noble Viking warriors who are our ancestors, of our contrasting island seasons and of the intense balance of our whisky.
Light and dark are concepts that exist in opposition, yet together create a perfect balance. One cannot exist without the other; as one appears, the other disappears; together they create something greater than themselves – in nature, a perfect, continuous cycle.
In THE LIGHT– a special release of only 28,000 bottles – we celebrate spring and summer in Orkney; a time to emerge from our winter’s hibernation, renewed and refreshed with a spring in our step, ready to embrace the warm bright days of summer. Presented in a beautifully embossed green glass bottle, the serpent dragon design takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas and embraces both the high sun of the summer solstice and the low sun of the winter solstice – the polar opposites of our island seasons – while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors which can still be seen today, here in Orkney.
Names then gave they to noon and twilight, morning they named, and the waning moon, night and evening, the years to number.
Highland Park Svein Warrior Series (1L, 40%)
Released in 2013, Svein is part of The Warrior Series, a collection of single malts created for Duty-Free to both introduce a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and to demonstrate the impact of cask type on our whisky’s flavour, which is immense.
Svein is named after a Viking warrior who considered Orkney his home. When he wasn’t feasting and drinking in the winter months he would plant the fields and reap them himself when it was time to harvest. In his spare time, he would go back to his plundering and murdering ways in the Hebrides and in Ireland.
The Warrior Series is a collection of single malts created exclusively for Duty Free to showcase the very best of Highland Park. Each expression both introduces a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and demonstrates how the flavours of Highland Park are influenced by cask type.
Predominantly matured in sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, Svein’s intense flavour expresses powerful notes of crème brûlée, fresh pineapple, ripe oranges and spicy peat smoke.
American and European Sherry seasoned oak casks
Bowmore 15 Year Old Sherry Finish (70cl, 43%)

Lagavulin 8 Year Old – 200th Anniversary Edition (70cl, 48%)
Notice the level is low, to the shoulder
Released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old is big and smoky, with sweet spice that becomes apparent with a drop of water. Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an ‘exceptionally fine’ eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone.
Glenglassaugh Revival (70cl, 46%)
The Revival is the first expression released from Glenglassaugh distillery after being mothballed for more than 20 years. The Glenglassaugh Revival has been matured in a balanced mix of ex-red wine and fresh bourbon casks, vatted and re-racked for double maturation in rich sherry casks.

Wolfburn Kylver Series – Release 3 (70cl, 50%)
This is the third release from Wolfburn’s Kylver Series – each one features a different from from the runic alphabet found on the Kylver stone (one of the earliest forms of alphabet discovered). Emblazoned upon this bottling is the rune meaning thurs, which meant “thorn” to some, while to others it meant “giant”.

House Tully is represented by Glendullan, who used the power of water to create stunning whisky, House Tyrell is represented by Clynelish, whose floral tones and smoky kick represent the Golden Rose of House Tyrell, and House Baratheon is represented by Royal Lochnagar, whose reign outlived that of the Baratheons, but whose whisky just as lively and full of character as the fallen House.

Jack Daniels White Rabbit Saloon 120th Anniversary (70cl, 43%)
Officially released at the Distillery on August 11, 2012, the original White Rabbit bottle celebrates the 120th Anniversary of the opening of the Jack Daniel’s White Rabbit Saloon. While the Saloon is no longer around, part of its name can still be found in the Distillery’s Visitor Center at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop.
In July of 2013, approximately 1 year after the 120th Anniversary of the White Rabbit Saloon, an update to this bottle was made. Nearly identical to the bottle from 2012, the major difference is shown on the bottle’s front label and on the box where it now reads “Special Edition” instead of “120th Anniversary”. This small change was made so that the Distillery could continue celebrating the famous White Rabbit Saloon even after the 120th Anniversary date had passed.
Jack Daniels Unaged Rye (75cl, 40%)
In December of 2012, Jack Daniel’s released an entirely new and exciting whiskey different from anything they had done before. Known as Unaged Tennessee Rye, this was the first time in over 100 years the Jack Daniel Distillery had used a new grain recipe. Made available to the public with much anticipation, this was a very limited release so that the remainder of the rye whiskey barrels could continue to mature in the warehouses.
Technically not part of a series, this is still the 1st of 3 Rye Whiskey’s that will be released by Jack Daniels. Other than this Unaged Tennessee Rye, there is also a Rested Tennessee Rye which was released in 2014 and an Aged Tennessee Rye which will be released at a future date.
Jack Daniels Single Barrel (70cl, 45%)
The Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel is whiskey which, in contrast to Old No 7, has been drawn from barrels which have sat maturing at the highest points of the Jack Daniel’s barrelhouses. At these higher points in the barrelhouses, just as in a second or third floor in a house, the temperature is likely to fluctuate more dramatically than at lower points. So, for example, during hot times (summer, the day) these higher points in the barrelhouses would likely be warmer than lower points, but during cold times (winter, night) these higher points in the barrelhouses would likely be colder than lower points. This means that barrels which sit at the highest points of the barrelhouses tend to be exposed to more extreme temperature changes.
Only one out of every 100 barrels are set aside to mature whiskey that becomes Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel.
Jack Daniels Scenes from Lynchburg 3 release 2005 proof 86 1L
Next in the series, the 3rd bottle shifts focus to life outside the Distillery in the town square of Lynchburg, only a short walk from the cave spring hollow. This bottle depicts people socializing in front of the Lynchburg Hardware & General Store which was built by Lem Motlow in 1912.

Jack Daniels Scenes from Lynchburg 5 Release 2007 proof 86 1L
The 5th bottle shifts back to the Distillery with an image of the new statue that currently stands by the cave spring. Weighing 600 pounds, this bronze statue was erected in the year 2000, and as previously mentioned, replaced the older monument to Jack Daniel that is found on the Scene #1 bottle.

This new building is where all Distillery tours begin and where many historic artifacts from over the years can be viewed.

Jack Daniels Monogram with smooth silver top (oldest one) release 1998 proof 94 75cl
It is said that Jack Daniel served whiskey to his closest friends from his own personal fine glass monogrammed decanters. These decanters were reserved for special occasions and it was with this in mind that the Jack Daniel Distillery released the 750ml Monogram bottle in 2009. Filled with 94 proof whiskey, this bottle was sold with no hang tag, but came in an attractive silver and black box.
When it was introduced in 2009, the Monogram bottle was a limited release for the state of Tennessee only. However, even though 2009 was the first year this bottle was available in the United States, it was actually released internationally in 1998 and then again in 2004. While these are not considered different generations of this bottle to Jack Daniel’s collectors, they are definitely considered different versions.
The first release of the Monogram, bottled in 1998. This was initially only an export bottling, but was eventually released domestically in the US in 2009. Each version is being identifiable by its cap type.
Jack Daniel’s is the best-selling American whiskey in the world. Despite that fact it can legally be categorised as a straight bourbon, it has always shunned this title, preferring to market itself as a Tennessee Whiskey. These are similar to straight bourbons but have the additional requirement of having been filtered through maple wood charcoal, a practice known as the Lincoln County Process. History has not always given the distillery an easy ride though. Tennessee was an early adopter of Prohibition in 1910, and one of the last to repeal it in 1938 (five years later than the repeal at Federal level). Even today the distillery is still located in a “dry” county, meaning none of its products are sold in its hometown or those around it. The distillery was then only operational for four years before being forced to close again during the second world war. Ten years later it was purchased by the Brown-Forman corporation and its fortunes turned for good. Its classic black-labelled Old No.7 brand (named after the distillery’s original DSP number) is now a globally recognised product.
The presentation is based on the glass decanters that Jack Daniel himself is rumoured to serve whisky to his friends with.
Jack Daniels Scenes from Lynchburg 8 Release 2011 proof 86 1L
The image on this bottle depicts a Distillery worker making sugar maple charcoal in the Rickyard. Working with fire to do this job requires much care as one mistake could mean the difference between charcoal and a pile of ash.

Jack Daniels Tennessee Tasters’ Series High Angel’s Share Barrel Selection Number 001 release 2018 proof 107, 37.5%
Considered an experimental whiskey, this limited release became available in October of 2018 and was sold exclusively at the Jack Daniel Distillery and at select liquor stores around the state of Tennessee.

This series will have a few new additions per year with each being limited to about 24,000 bottles.
Sold in a 375ml bottle, the whiskey found in the High Angel’s Share Barrel bottle was barreled in January of 2013 and got its name from the the higher than normal evaporation that occurred during the aging process. This of course is referred to as the “angel’s share” that goes missing.

Jack Daniels No. 27 Gold (70cl, 40%)
Created by taking Jack Daniel’s standard Tennessee whisky (No. 7) and then “double barreling and double mellowing” it – meaning it enjoys an extra maturation period in maple wood before being double charcoal filtered.
Jack Daniels (3L, 40%)
One of the world’s best recognised brands, this is a 3 litre bottle of Jack Daniel’s famed Tennessee whiskey (Tennessee whiskey undergoes a filtration through sugar maple charcoal – this is the difference between JD and a typical bourbon). Lynchburg Lemonade anyone?
Jack Daniels (1.5L, 40%)
The most recognizable bottle in the Jack Daniel’s family of whiskeys is the Black Label bottle. Accounting for almost 96% of Jack Daniel’s annual whiskey sales, today the Black Label brand is the #1 selling whiskey in the world with around 150 million bottles sold worldwide every year…
Not only has the Black Label bottle been available in three different proofs in the last 25 years, but each proof has also been offered in a variety of sizes…Along with the different whiskey proofs and bottle sizes, Jack Daniel’s occasionally makes changes to the look of their bottles as well…
In the spring of 2011, a change to the Black Label bottle was introduced. Though this design has not yet been named (UPDATE…currently being referred to as the Evo bottle), the new bottle’s shape is generally the same as the Heritage bottle, but with prominent corners and edges that emphasize the square look even more. What also makes this modification significant is that it was accompanied by a label change as well…

Our first guest is David Stewart MBE, Balvenie malt master and the DoubleWood’s creator, who discusses his fond Balvenie memories. Next we sat down with head cooper Ian McDonald, who after nearly half a century at the distillery has more than a story or two to share. Finally, we look towards the future with Kelsey McKechnie as she embarks on her malt master apprenticeship under David Stewart.

This is the first in a new series that’s exclusive to travel retail. We’ve managed to secure a small allocation from a secret source.

The Spice Road is the first in a sub-series named the Trade Route Series – the whiskies are inspired by the cultural richness that can be found on three of the world’s great trade routes.
Spice Road will be followed by ‘The Gold Route”, with tropical flavours designed to reflect the aromas of the Caribbean and Latin America, due for release in March or April next year. Finally, Johnnie Walker ”The Royal Silk Route”, the most expensive of the line-up, will hit airport shelves in May or June. We’ll see if we can source these releases as they go to market.

Johnnie Walker Black Label Anniversary Edition 12 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
This aged version of the classic Red Label enjoys a similar cult following. Its unique complexity is achieved by expertly blending an extremely diverse, but complementary range of malt whiskies, each of which has been matured for a minimum of 12 years and some for much longer. In total, up to 40 malts and grain whiskies make up the Black Label blend. Island and Islay malts deliver spice, richness and lingering peat. Speyside malts make an important contribution to the depth of taste, bringing smoky malt, fruitiness, apple freshness and a rich sherry character to the blend. At the heart of Black Label lies 12 year old Cardhu, an outstanding malt from Speyside, which imparts silkiness, a characteristic which has made it famous as a single malt.
To date, Black Label has won more international awards for excellence than any other deluxe whisky. In the 1880s, Old Highland won medals in Sydney and Paris. Over 100 years later, in 1994, Black Label picked up gold medals at the 1994 Monde Selection Awards and the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), where it also won a trophy for Best Blended Whisky. In 1996, it won gold again at IWSC for the best deluxe Scotch Whisky. 40% Alc./Vol.
