Just a few little things this week...  OK, who are we kidding - LOOK AT THIS LOT! 

In amongst the oldest whisky ever bottled and the ancient Dalmore Selene, we've Bunnahabhain's bottling of their heavily-peated spirit, a couple of Port Ellens and a cheeky little Islay single malt bottled for our 10th Anniversary from a very famous distillery (no, we can't say which one).

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Whisky Exchange
A cask-strength mystery Islay single malt whisky, from a south-coast distillery very rarely available as an independent bottling, this has been bottled by TWE to celebrate our 10th Anniversary online. Huzzah! Young and briny, with strong coal notes, a creamy edge and hints of smoked kippers.

After a string of highly-regarded indie peated Bunnahabhains, the distillery has finally released an official version of their heavily-peated malt.

New TWE 10th Anniversary Bottlings!

 

Yes, we've got two more stunning bottlings for you to celebrate our 10th Anniversary online!  There's a glorious bourbon-casked Linkwood 1973, and a magnificent Glenglassaugh 1978 - take your pick, they're both brilliant.  Click on either product for our tasting notes.

Linkwood 1973 / Bourbon Cask / TWE 10th Anniversary
70cl / 49.7%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Whisky Exchange
This Linkwood 1973 is fantastic, if we do say so ourselves. Bottled from one of the best bourbon casks you could ever hope to encounter at an incredible 36 years of age, yet the oak never overwhelms the superb sweet fruitiness of the malt. Utterly delicious.
