A single cask release from Lowland independent distillery Bladnoch, distilled in 2001 and aged for 11 years in sherry butt #281. This is even more different to regular Bladnoch by being lightly peated, for a touch of smoke with the sherry cask flavours.
A 2001 vintage Edradour from their Straight from the Cask range, finished in a port cask giving it a rich red colour and a kick of spice. Distilled on 23rd January 2001, matured in a hogshead until 10th December 2010 and then finished in a pipe until bottling on 9th January 2013.
More madness from Murray McDavid, starting with a 1995 vintage distillate from Bowmore. They first matured the spirit in ex-Bourbon before finishing the whisky in Viognier white wine casks from Guigal in Condrieu, for a total of 11 years in wood. They may also have spelled Viognier as Voignier on the label...
A feisty whisky from Caol Ila, bottled at cask strength by Adelphi at 11 years of age. This was distilled in 2001, matured in a refill sherry hogshead and then bottled in 2013.

A special release of Laphroaig, put together for the Islay Festival in 2003. An extra year of age to the regular 10yo bottling with a bit more smoke and dryness.
A single 1997 European Sherry Oak cask of Caol Ila chosen to represent the distillery in the cask strength Managers' Choice range from Diageo. This is only the second ever single cask Caol Ila released by Diageo after the wonderful Feis Ile bottling in 2009 (also a sherry cask, coincidentally).
