An exciting new arrival, Talisker Storm seems to be an extension of the Johnnie Walker Double Black principle, promising the same flavours we know and love - but more. This is achieved by a mix of older whiskies in rejuvenated casks with younger whisky from refill casks, all with the goal of emphasising the warm, peppery, turbulent distillery character.
70cl / 45.8%
Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
Special Offer: Free Talisker Glass!!
Released in early 2013, Talisker Storm has all the warm, smoky, peppery characteristics we all love in the standard Talisker 10yo - but they've been turned up a notch, with more smoke, more spices, and a bigger than ever flavour explosion. Talisker Storm seems likely to be a huge hit.

A pair of long awaited bottles from Springbank - the 2013 edition of their much loved 21 year old, blingy box and all, and the Longrow edition of one of our favourites from last year, Rundlets & Kilderkins.
70cl / 51.7%
Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Small casks mean lots of wood contact and this combines Longrow's rustic smokiness with lots of wood influence for a sweet and peaty dram. MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER.
