A fruity, floral whiskey from Woodford Reserve, made with 52% wheat, 20% malted barley, 20% corn and 8% rye. This results in aromas of cinnamon, cedarwood, baked apples and pears, honeysuckle and vanilla bean on the nose. The palate offers notes of sweet-and-sour apple sauce, toasted coconut, earthy mint, cocoa nibs and green apple peel that linger in the finish.

A half bottle of three-year-old single malt from New Zealand's Cardrona distillery, Just Hatched is a marriage of whiskies matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The palate offers notes of borage flower, vanilla, oak spice and honey.

Naarangi is an innovative release from India's Amrut. The name is Hindi for 'orange' and the whisky was aged in an ex-oloroso-sherry cask, which was then seasoned with wine and orange peel for three years. A three-year-old whisky was then finished in the cask for a further three years, producing a whisky with extra orangey notes.

Aromas of vanilla cream, geraniums, hydrangea, dried apricots, red berries, peach cobbler and blackberry jam fill the nose, complemented by notes of nutmeg, clove, toasted pecans and mint throughout the palate.

A sweet and smoky Danish single malt from Thy, Stovt is matured in a combination of bourbon, oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, and is finished in casks that previously held Limfjordsporter from Thisted Bryghus.
