75cl / 40%

Welsh Whisky

Produced by The Welsh Whisky Distillery Company more than one hundred years ago, it is one of only a handful of bottles known to exist from this lost distillery in Wales, there is one also displayed at Penderyn Distillery.

Macallan 194652 Year Old

70cl / 40%

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

This Macallan 1946 is rather unusual, in that it was made with peated malt due to the high post-war prices of coal. It also happens to be one of the greatest Macallans ever released in our opinion. The inital release of this was quite large and took a while for the distillery to sell, but it is now recognised as a classic Macallan and its reputation is assured.

70cl / 63%

Japanese Single Malt Whisky

As strong on the nose as you’d expect from a 63% ABV bottling. Take your time though and, once the haze clears, find yourself in a bright garden of cut pine, summer fruits and coffee beans. On the palate, flowers bloom and dried fruit comes forward along with candied oranges and Christmas spice. Fresh oak rears its head toward the end but sweet citrus and juicy fruit win out into a long finish. A wonderful and rewarding whisky.

Hanyu 1990Ten of Diamonds

70cl / 54.9%

A truly classic sherried Macallan, this 1979 is regarded as the best of the highly-sought-after Gran Reserva series released in the 1990s to showcase the extreme end of sherried whisky from the distillery. Scoring 91 points on Serge Valentin's whiskyfun.com, this is one of the landmark Macallan releases of the last twenty years.

This outstanding bourbon-casked Talisker 20yo was released in 2003, but has always been in the shadow of the famous sherry cask 20yo from 2002. However, we think it's time that this was re-appraised as a great whisky in its own right.

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

The 2017 edition of Laphroaig distillery's yearly Cairdeas bottling – it's released at the Islay festival and it's name means 'friendship' in gaelic. At a previous year's festival, distillery manager John Campbell poured a cask strength version of the ever-popular Laphroaig Quarter Cask, and it so caught the imagination of the assembled fans that they started lobbying him to release a version as a Cairdeas bottling. After a few years if people wearing 'Cask Strength Quarter Cask' t-shirts at his tastings, he relented and the 2017 release was born. It does exactly what you'd expect, dialling up the intensity of the Laphroaig Quarter Cask and delivering even more medicinal smoke and sweet spice.

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

A 1.75-litre bottle of Macallan 12 Year Old. Deliciously smooth, with rich dried fruits and sherry, balanced with woodsmoke and spice. Described by Paul Pacult, the renowned international whisky writer, in his book Kindred Spirits as: 'simply the best 12-year-old single malt around'.

Layers of exotic spices and incense notes mingle with fruit: a masterclass in Japanese whisky. “I wanted to reveal the whisky’s soul that is the Art of Mizunara — a heightened sense and awakened palate engaged through aromas and flavors never known before. Encountering it should be a moment of epiphany.” – Shinji Fukuyo, Chief Blender, Suntory

Campbeltown "Fragments of Scotland" (Longrow 1973)

75cl / 50%

Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Samaroli

A legendary Longrow 1973, bottled at 50% in 1988 by Samaroli as part of their Fragments of Scotland series. This one is interesting as it's less smoky than the OBs of the same vintage (the first year that Longrow was distilled at Springbank), though it still scooped a huge 92 point score from Serge on Whiskyfun.

Suntory Yamazaki 1984

70cl / 48%

Japanese Single Malt Whisky

Rough tobacco smoke and a gentle vegetable sweetness battle for supremacy in a nose that offers surprisingly little alcohol for a bottling of this strength. Similarly, the palate offers up a smooth, subtle and endlessly complex profile in which huge oak, herbs and vegetables play gleefully alongside sweet citrus, plum jam and a thick, brooding toffee presence. A Zen whisky in which all things are balanced; Yamazaki 1984 is a rare triumph.

Karuizawa 1972Bot.2011 Cask #7038

70cl / 63.3%

Japanese Single Malt Whisky

A little water reveals a nose bountiful and complex with rich dried fruit, sweet molasses and red berries held up by vinous tannins and leather. On the tongue, dark chocolate and a touch of tobacco support honey and old oak with sweet, ripe high notes of orchard fruit and a touch of earthy almond, all dusted with a healthy helping of black pepper and nutmeg spice. Both old at 39 years and cantankerous at a whopping 63.3% ABV, those patient enough to cut through the initial spice will experience a very different side to this generous and venerable Karuizawa.

Caol Ila 15 Year OldManager's Dram Sherry Cask

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

The Manager's Dram bottlings were never sold. They were gifts given to staff and friends of the distillery, and only occasionally appear for sale. Selected by the distillery manager, they are all incredible whiskies, and this Caol Ila is among the finest. A rich sherry-matured 15-year-old bottled in 1990, it's one of the best whiskies ever released from the distillery.

Glenmorangie 196323 Year Old Lamborghini 50th Anniv.

70cl / 43%

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

The revived and repackaged edition of one of the most iconic Glenmorangie releases of all time – their first whisky with a stated vintage and their first sherry-finished dram. Distilled in 1963 and matured for 22 years in oak before a year-long finish in oloroso, this single malt was originally bottled in 1987. Many years later, however, Dr Bill Lumsden examined the Glenmorangie archives and decided that this whisky was good enough to be rebottled in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini: the Italian supercar company that was also born in 1963 and which is famous for creating stunning automotive icons such as the Miura, Diablo and Huracán. The resulting edition of 50 bottles, released in 2013, instantly became an iconic whisky and a fitting tribute to the iconic Lamborghini marque.

Dalmore 50 Year Old (1926) Black Ceramic

75cl / 43%

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distillery Bottling

Very similar in character to the Dalmore 50yrs in the crystal decanter (they are from the same batch of stock), this is an earlier presentation from the 1970s and is packaged in a smart black ceramic decanter. Dalmore ages better than perhaps any other Highland distillery, and gives Macallan a run for its money in the quality stakes, but stocks are always very low.
