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.
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 75cl, 14%
This elegant, traditional style Brunello is produced at a mid-sized estate located in the southern hills of Montalcino, between the towns of Sant’ Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, one of the most quintessentially picturesque areas in Tuscany.
The Casisano vineyard enjoys southeastern exposure and is composed of various soil types. It is particularly rich in galestro stone.
The wine sees 25 days of skin maceration and is then aged in Slavonian oak casks for 3 years, followed by an additional six months of bottle aging.
The beginning of 2016 saw an increase in precipitation, but a complete absence of snow. Spring was characterized by average temperatures and rains, which started to become more and more scarce in the middle of June, the last ten days of which were very sunny with good ventilation. This seasonal trend brought the plants to an excellent vegetative balance.
The summer passed with little rain and excellent diurnal temperature variations, especially between August and September. These conditions, combined with good ventilation, allowed for a harvest of healthy grapes with important organoleptic characteristics. The harvest ended in mid-October, benefitting from long dry and well-ventilated periods. The harvested grapes thus manifested a remarkable complexity of aromas, elegant tannins and excellent natural acidity. All features that immediately indicated a vintage of the highest quality.

Joseph Drouhin creates wines from a fascinating variety of terroirs, expressing the authenticity and subtle differences in Burgundy wines.
A true family business, the Maison Joseph Drouhin has been run by the Drouhin family for the last 140 years. It is currently in the hands of the fourth generation who share the same passion and desire to listen to nature which inspired the winery’s founder. The Maison has adopted biological and biodynamic agricultural methods, using only natural products in the vineyards and showing the utmost respect for the land, vines and environment. One of the winery’s slogans sums it up perfectly – “we offer natural solutions to nature problems.” Vineyards are ploughed by horses, wild plants are allowed to grow between the vines to encourage the presence of natural predators, and natural compost and herbal infusions are used to help the vines grow and stay healthy. Drouhin reproduce the plants themselves to conserve their genetic heritage and control the quality of the process. Vines are deliberately planted close to each other to ensure low yields and receive the delicate message and values the soil offers the fruit.
The style of Joseph Drouhin wines is a blend of character, balance and harmony in search of perfection and elegance. Subtle and fresh wines to be enjoyed early, or wines which obtain a delicious complexity on ageing. Drouhin wines are found on the best dining tables, proudly expressing the very best Burgundy character to wine-lovers around the world.

Bowmore 18 Year Old The Original pre-2017 (70cl, 43%)
First launched in 2007 as a core-range replacement to the much-loved 17 year old (which became a travel retail exclusive. This is the first version of the expression, packed like this until the range was rebranded in 2017.
After a while some Malt, Heather and Butter are coming through. And all the time there’s a faint Sherry like sweetness. The nose of the 12 Year is quite overwhelming but the 18 year is much more settled and ripe. Hardly any Wood which is remarkable for its age. Quite Nice.
Taste: The delivery is very smooth and slightly watery for a 43%. I think this expression should be bottled at 46%. Chocolate, Plums, Nuts. Sherried Peat Smoke in the background. Again hardly any Wood and very little Spices. The Peat is still there. Light Ashes. Well balanced.
Finish: Some Toffee is there, as well as slightly bitter Orange Marmalade. Some Wet Earth after a few minutes. After about 10 minutes it felt like having eaten a thin slice of Smoked Ham. I’ve added half a point to the finish for that. Remarkable!
