Johnnie Walker Sweet Peat

50cl / 40.8%

Blended Scotch Whisky

Too often pitched as opposite extremes on the Scotch whisky flavour spectrum, peat smoke and sweetness can actually work together remarkably well. This fact is exemplified in Sweet Peat from Johnnie Walker, which blends powerful peat and citrus flavours with sweet Speyside character and a luscious sherried note. The result is a flavour profile full of rich caramel and vanilla flavours, a light spiciness and wisps of warming wood smoke.

One of the oldest whiskies ever released at the time, its reputation has continued into the new millennium as one of the best 50 year olds every released. At this age, balance is difficult, but somehow this has managed it, bringing together dried fruit and oaky spice in perfect harmony. A stunner. Please note: this bottle is missing its certificate.

The whisky itself is one of the most amazing 50 year old whiskies ever to be released from any distillery and we actually like it more than the current version.

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Signatory

A 27-year-old Ben Nevis single malt, bottled by Signatory Vintage for its range of extra-special 30th Anniversary whiskies.

70cl / 54.2%

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Elixir Distillers

One of a pair of releases showing a different side to the Single Malts of Scotland range – it's a small-batch vatting rather than a single cask. It's four casks of whisky, three ex-bourbon hogsheads and a sherry butt from a couple of different vintages.

Jerome Grieco owns old vineyards in Chateauneuf-du-Pape that are covered with the big round 'galet' stones so typical of the region. He works his vineyards organically and produces a Chateauneuf-du-Pape that shows surprising restraint. This is not a blockbuster Chateauneuf-du-Pape but it is definitely one you can go for a second glass of, even a second bottle. Try this with a hearty stew or pheasant. Black and red hedgerow fruits and some earthy spices that is married with thyme and rosemary; the tannins are well managed and ripe and the finish has a lovely coolness to it. – Dawn Davies MW

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

70cl / 56%

Bruichladdich 200215 Year Old Hidden Spirits

70cl / 53.1%

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Hidden Spirits

A 2002-vintage Bruichladdich bottled by Italian indie Hidden Spirits. Bottler Andrea Ferrari has chosen an excellent cask for this release – a single peated sherry cask, aged for 15 years and bottled at a punchy 'Highproof' strength of 53.1%. It's rare for a whisky with the name Bruichladdich on the label to be smoky these days – that's normally the realm of Port Charlotte and Octomore, both produced at the distillery – but this 'peaty sweety' is an excellent example of peat and sherry working in harmony.

70cl / 48.9%

Distillery Bottling

A very old whisky from Fettercairn, distilled on 23 December 1977 and laid down to mature for 40 years before bottling in 2018. It spent the final few years in Gonzales Byass Apostoles palo cortado sherry cask, adding layers of dark fruit, citrus and toffee to the elegantly fruity whisky. The result is a complex balance of fresh fruit and sherry cask character, with a touch of balsamic sweetness.
