It's a classic Ardbeg of the era, with a mix of smoke, brine, fruit and tar that immediately conjures visions of the seashore by the distillery

Tasting Notes

NOSE A waft of pipe tobacco. As the smoke clears, an orchard comes into view with apricots and pears. Tarred rope and dusty wicker chairs surround a beach bon‑re. With water, lemon cake is served with a cup of sweet lapsang souchong tea.

A rare and sadly discontinued vintage release from Balblair.

A 1991 vintage single malt from Balblair, replacing their 1990 Second Release. The 1991 Third Release was drawn from a combination of bourbon casks and sherry butts, resulting in a balanced flavour profile of caramel, cherry, almond and buttery pastry.

Tasting notes from the producer

AROMA

The nose is expansive and complex with rich citrus fruits and vanilla notes, toffee and chocolate. The American oak ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish oak butts used in the maturation impart notes of honey, winter spices and apricot with just a hint of liquorice in the background

PALATE

On the palate Balblair's signature style of citrus orchard is followed with rich creamy chocolate and layers of stewed apples and pears, Christmas pudding and hot vanilla sauce.

FINISH

The finish descends slowly into brighter tonality, sparkling orange and toasted coconut overtones, accentuating full-bodied sweetness of vanilla and caramel. A rich and celebratory dram.

The newest member of the Bunnahabhain core range family, this first batch release of a 30 year whisky is one of our oldest single malts. Matured exclusively in ex-sherry casks in our coastal warehouses at the distillery, non-chill filtered and natural colour, this is a rich and sweet dram.

It takes patience and perseverance to perfect this whisky; three decades of watching and waiting, a unique character shaped by the salt-rich air at Bunnahabhain Bay.

Every dram of their 30 year old is matured in ex-sherry casks under the watchful eye of their Distillery Manager.  Only when it is fully formed is it freed from its coastal cocoon; its once-hidden bounty ready to be revealed and revered.  Expect notes of strawberries and cream, gradually developing into honey nut cereals and an abundance of rich toffee, before finishing with a hint of salted caramel and light spices.  The first batch produced for this new release, this is definitely not one to miss!

Nose

Aromas of  butterscotch, beeswax and sweet sherry

Palate

Strawberries and cream dominate the palate, gradually developing into honey nut cereals and an abundance of rich toffee.

Finish

A gentle aftertaste of stewed berries and ginger, with a prolonged and undulating combination of spiced oak and salted caramel.

70cl / 41.4%

A single-cask release of Bunnahabhain from the Single Malts of Scotland, bottled as part of the Director's Special range. This was distilled back in 1975 and aged for 43 years in a single refill-bourbon hogshead. Over the years, its strength has naturally dropped, concentrating its flavour. The result is a soft and fruity whisky that shows the delicacy of Bunnahabhain's normally boisterous spirit.

This bright amber beauty has red fruits, leather and brown sugar on the nose and soft oak, cinnamon, stewed fruits and a Seville marmalade tang on the palate.The finish is very long with spicy liquorice. The malt is presented in a new heavy bespoke bottle and outer box. The bottle features a fine metal stopper, crafted cartouche and delicately branded neck tag and is attractively displayed in an oak box interior which includes an engraved plinth.

An extremely rare and highly sought-after addition to the Hakushu range, this 25 year-old was rated 93/100 by Jim Murray, who called it "a malt which is impossible not to be blown away by".

• Tasting Notes by Dave Broom for Whisky Advocate

  • As the price may suggest, there ain't a lot of this around, but to see Hakushu at its most robust, try and find a bar with a bottle. Again, the sherry component has been upped, as has the smoked element. There is, however, always that graceful Hakushu purity running through, this time expressed as rhubarb and strawberry. The palate shows great oily depth, hints of walnut, and yes, a sprig of mint tying it to the 10 year old. 90 Points.

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Gordon & MacPhail.

This very rare single malt that has been aged in oak for so long. It is a piece of history. Macallan single malt whisky is highly regarded, and late 40's/early 50's  particularly so.

A famous old expression of The Macallan 30 year old, matured entirely in sherry oak casks. This was the last edition of the sherried 30yo before the introduction of the Fine Oak series, and also the last 30yo before Macallan revamped their bottle shape and packaging, ditching the wooden boxes for 25yo and 30yo.

The fifth release in Elixir Distillers' Rosebank Roses series, Fascination is a 21-year-old single malt which, like the others in the collection, has been released to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This single malt is a combination of spirit distilled in both 1990 and 1991, matured in ex-Madeira casks and American oak barrels for 21 years. Citrussy aromas of candied citrus peel and fresh lemon are joined by rye bread, white chocolate, sherbet pips and mint on the nose, complemented by notes of green apple, sugared almonds, custard and vanilla cream throughout the palate.

• NOSE

  Sweet cream, honeysuckle, and spring meadow flowers lead. Apple blossom and creamy vanilla custard follow, with sliced apple and pear, and rich citrus peel notes orange and lemon. Candied flower petals – violet and rose – develop, wafting delicately over a field of buttery malt.

• PALATE

  The sweet cream from the nose returns, with spicy bodyguards: cinnamon and nutmeg to one side, white and black pepper on the other. Stewed apples roll in, with licorice and anise touches. Sweetshop notes hide at the bottom: candy necklaces, apple chews, and creamy milk chocolate. Floral notes develop, with delicate petals and sweet syrup tinged with a hint of leafy mint. Water softens the spice but leaves the intensity of flavour. Buttery notes are amplified, and fruit and cream notes develop strawberry- and orange-creme-filled chocolates.

• FINISH

  A burst of buttermint fades to leave sweet floral touches and gentle green leaf notes.
