Michter’s 10 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon 70cl, 47.2%
10 year old single barrel bourbon from the Michter’s Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. A brilliant expression – well balanced notes of dried fruit, oak-y spice and vanilla with a subtle herbaceous hint along the way. Simply put, this is top quality bourbon.
Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Chinese New Year Limited Edition 2024 70cl, 40%
Released to celebrate the Lunar New Year, this limited edition Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva comes with packaging designed by acclaimed artist Raku Inoue. Through an intricate pattern of petals and leaves, Inoue has taken inspiration from nature, and brought the classic Glenfiddich stag to life, while adding elements of the wood dragon, the 2024 Chinese zodiac symbol. The whisky itself matured for 21 years, including a finish in Caribbean rum casks, imparting glorious layers of sweet spice and tropical fruit. A top gift for anyone celebrating Lunar New Year.
Bruichladdich Octomore 13.2 5 Year Old (70cl, 58.3%)
The 13.2 edition of Octomore from Bruichladdich follows on from the 13.1, in that it’s made from 100% Scottish barley malted to a hefty 137.3 PPM, however the 13.2 edition of this superbly smoky single malt Scotch has enjoyed its five year ageing period entirely in first fill oloroso sherry butts, bringing waves of fruit and sweetness to the expressive Islay character.
Macallan Enigma (70cl, 44.9%)
At the high end of Macallan’s Quest Collection (released for the Travel Retail market) sits the Enigma, an expression drawn exclusively from European oak Sherry seasons casks. As you can imagine, these casks have imparted a wealth of rich, sweet, lip-smacking sherry notes to the Speyside single malt.
Nikka Yoichi Aromatic Yeast Nikka Discovery 2022 (70cl, 48%)
Fruity, floral, peated Japanese single malt from Yoichi distillery on Japan’s nothernmost main island, Hokkaido. It’s one of a pair of exciting Nikka releases based around aromas and flavours from fermentation and yeast, the other being Miyagikyo Aromatic Yeast, an unpeated whisky from Yoichi’s sister distillery.
Utilising their experience of using and experimentating with various different yeast strains, Nikka fermented this batch of whisky at a low temperature for a particularly estery character said to be akin to a fine daiginjo sake.
Nikka Miyagikyo Aromatic Yeast Nikka Discovery 2022 (70cl, 47%)
Japanese single malt that explores and celebrates fermentation and the fruity, floral notes formed during that part of the production process. In contrast to many Scottish producers, for example, Nikka (and other Japanese producers) use various yeast strains, and experiment with many more. These strains are closely protected, and it’s great to see a couple of releases highlighting their contribution – the other being the peated Yoichi Aromatic Yeast from Nikka’s other malt whisky distillery.
Highland Park Ingvar Warrior Series (70cl, 60.5%)
Released in 2013, Ingvar is part of The Warrior Series, a collection of single malts created for Duty-Free market in Taiwan, to both introduce a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and to demonstrate the impact of cask type on our whisky flavour, which is immense. This is a Cask Strength Special Edition.
Ingvar Ragnarson, was a warrior King, known for his exceptional cruelty, strength and skill with many weapons. After successfully conquering Dublin in Ireland, he formed the Great Heathen Army which rampaged through Northern England, beheading the King of that region in the process. Ingvar’s army moved quickly using a variety of weapons including the long spear, which although not as glamorous as the sword or as frightening looking as a battle axe, was deadly on the battlefield and in close combat.
Ingvar was released in early 2016 for the Taiwanese travel retail market, and was named in honour of Ingvar Ragnarsson, “a Warrior king known for his exceptional cruelty, strength and skill”.

Macallan A Night On Earth In Scotland 2021 Erica Dorn 70cl, 40%
The first in a series of annual releases from The Macallan, the wonderfully titled A Night on Earth in Scotland is inspired by Hogmanay, Scotland’s New Year’s Eve celebration. Created by Macallan lead whisky maker Sarah Burgess, whose memories of Hogmanay were a key influence to the expression, this single malt features whiskies aged in American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, as well as ex-bourbon barrels.
Those ex-bourbon barrels have imparted a distinctive helping of vanilla notes to the whisky, an homage to the ‘first footer’, a custom of Hogmanay where it’s supposed to be good luck for a dark-haired person to be the first to visit your home after midnight on New Year. Apparently, the ‘first footer’ will be carrying shortbread (that’s where the vanilla notes we were talking about come into this), whisky, and coal for the fire.
A Night on Earth in Scotland features designs by Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn, once again inspired by the New Year celebrations around the world.
