Our Black Friday bottlings are all about giving our customers an outstanding-value whisky that puts a different spin on what they might already know about a region or style. The bottlings are always whiskies we love, and this is no exception.
This year we are celebrating Black Friday 2020 with a whisky from a distillery with a reputation for sweet peaty notes that soar above layers of gentle fruit. The distillery was founded in 1898 and has had its share of ups and downs over the years, but we hope this dram will convince you to search out more from this lesser-known Highlander.

- Nose Smouldering pine trees, sweet and sour apples, fruity Refresher chews and leafy mint. Wax-polished oak and vanilla toffee are balanced by gentle hints of tarred rope. More fruity notes build, with the apples joined by candied lemon, Seville orange and white-wine-poached pears. Leafy herbs sit at the back: citrusy tarragon, sweet fennel and spicy rosemary.
- Palate A base of sweet-and-rich earthy peat smoke sits beneath stewed orchard fruit, freshly cut grass, damp oak and cinnamon-spiced sugar cookies. Apple skin and dry oak spice are balanced by waxed tables and damp wood. Tropical fruit notes of sweet pineapple develop along with fragrant meadow flowers – albeit with a bonfire on the other side of the field. Clove and cinnamon build, accompanied by aniseed and brown sugar.
- Finish Damp leaves and dying bonfires lead to baked apples, sweet liquorice and mint. Soft tarry notes linger.
- Comment Sweet Highland peat and fruity spirit combine to create a complex smoky dram. A balance of darkness and light, but coming out in favour of the latter – just how things should be on Black Friday.
