Ardbeg 1998 - Almost There 70cl / 54.1% Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky Following on from Very Young and Still Young, this bottling shows the final stage in the evolution of young cask-strength Ardbeg before it becomes the standard-issue 10 yr-old. As you would expect, this is a mellower, more rounded, better balanced dram than the earlier incarnations. £69.99 inc. VAT (£60.86 ex. VAT) Ardbeg Uigeadail 70cl / 54.2% Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrel and sherry butt which gives a sweet and smokey finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows. This year's batch of Uigeadail has more sherry influence and is an absolutely stunning whisky. £43.49 inc. VAT (£37.82 ex. VAT) Balvenie 17 Year old / Sherry Oak 75cl / 43% Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky A new release from Balvenie is always something to be cheerful about. This is an unusual expression as most Balvenie has a significant proportion of American oak in the mix. £79.99 inc. VAT (£69.56 ex. VAT) Bruichladdich 1988 / Bot. 2008 70cl / 46% Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky A feisty, fruity Bruichladdich from our friends in St. James's St. Luscious exotic fruit, delicately smoked cereals and a whiff of seaspray: delightful. £44.49 inc. VAT (£38.69 ex. VAT) Bushmills 1608 / 400th Anniversary 70cl / 46% Blended Irish Whiskey A special bottling to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the license to distil aqua vitae in Antrim originally granted in 1608 to Sir Thomas Phillips. This has already won 'Best Irish Blended Whiskey (No Age Statement)' at the World Whiskies Awards 2008. £49.99 inc. VAT (£43.47 ex. VAT) Clynelish 1992 / 15 Year old 70cl / 46% Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky Another of our gorgeous Bourbon-casked Clynelish releases, this is a vatting of two complementary casks, with a delicious bramble and briar character. £39.99 inc. VAT (£34.77 ex. VAT) Glenlivet 16 Year old Nadurra 70cl / 57.7% Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky A really superb Glenlivet, the best we've had in this price range for a long time. Delicious shortbread nose, with white chocolate and dollops of natural caramel. The palate is a delight, with patisserie, ginger, pepper and cocoa notes. Fabulous. £40.99 inc. VAT (£35.64 ex. VAT) Lagavulin 12 Year old / Bot. 2008 / Special Release 70cl / 56.4% Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky At 56.4%, this year's Lagavulin 12yo is exactly the same strength as last year's - a phenomenon that occurred with the second and third release as well. Do you think they just make up enormous batches and drip-feed them through? £48.49 inc. VAT (£42.17 ex. VAT) Longrow CV 70cl / 46% Single Campbeltown Malt Scotch Whisky A new NAS Longrow to accompany the 18 year-old that most of us will never get a bottle of. Subtle it aint, but fans of peaty, citrussy young drams will not be disappointed. £28.99 inc. VAT (£25.21 ex. VAT) White Bowmore 1964 / 43 Year old 70cl / 42.8% Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky At last, the second of the new 1964 Trilogy series is here. After last year's new Black Bowmore, this White Bowmore has spent its life in bourbon casks, so should make for a very interesting contrast.
