Whiskies

A 14-year-old single malt from Aberlour, matured in a combination of oloroso sherry casks and first-fill American oak casks. The result is aromas of cloves, cardamom, toffee, milk chocolate and orange zest on the nose, complemented by notes of black cherries, mocha coffee and fresh mint throughout the palate.

The first addition to Ardbeg's ongoing range for a decade when introduced in 2017, An Oa is a combination of spirit aged in Pedro-Ximenez sherry casks and bourbon barrels. Married in a French-oak marrying vat, this is rounded and smoky with notes of toffee, aniseed, date and banana.

An easy-drinking Talisker, taking the distillery's classically rugged character and softening it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. More approachable, but still definitely Talisker.

Laphroaig Lore is a 2016 addition to the distillery's range. Made up of whiskies aged in a combination of quarter casks, sherry casks and reused peated casks. This is rich and classically peaty with a spicy chili bite and a long, sweet aftertaste.

A triple distilled Irish single malt whiskey from Dingle Distillery that has been matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. Aromas of lime zest, freshly-picked mint leaves and sweet pears fill the nose, complemented by notes of caramelised apple slices, raisins, vanilla, honey and mixed spices throughout the finish.

A favourite expression in the Dalmore stable, this 15-year-old is elegant and smooth, with lipsmacking texture and the flawless balance one would expect from blending maestro Richard Paterson.

The 2003 Lagavulin Distillers Edition was bottled in 2019 after a decade and a half, and has been finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.

Nikka's entry-level whisky from Miyagikyo distillery. Light in body, yet full of flavour, this is an excellent introduction to Japanese whisky. Elegantly fruity with sherry-cask character.

A lovely gift pack containing a bottle of Glenrothes 12 Year Old single malt and a pair of stylish tumblers to enjoy it with. Aged solely in sherry-seasoned casks, this Speyside whisky has notes of vanilla, melon, banana and cinnamon.

Glen Scotia Victoriana has been bottled at cask strength and finished in heavily-charred oak casks. Victoriana has notes of richly-spiced fruit, vanilla and oak throughout the palate, followed by a gently smoky finish.
