The quality of these casks is exceptional as all are individually tended by their experienced team of coopers, ensuring their whisky develops complex, elegantly rounded flavours with notes of fresh pear and subtle oak.sc~35cl Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Reserve|1981203005|~19846~23400~~

Its preminence is perenially confirmed in blind tastings of the finest malt whiskies where The Macallan is time and again accorded the supreme laurel in its category, befitting the definitive dictum on The Macallan:- The single malt against which ultimately all others must be judged.s~70cl Macallan 10 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23393~~
Its product retains much that is traditional, even original. It has its own floor maltings and peat beds (the peat is cut shallow to impart a light 'rooty' character) and two traditional peat-fired kilns. During malting a little heather is burned.
The Highland Distillery has more than an affinity with the West Highlands in its flavour than with the palish, fragrant, fresh flavoured North Highland groups of malt.
Highland Park is a medium bodied whisky with a heathery aroma.~70cl Highland Park 12 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23392~~
Nose - Soft, very aromatic with a hint of honey and lemon in the foreground.
Colour - Amber with a slight yellow hue.
Taste - Sweet to start with an appetising fruitiness and a long smooth finish.
A malt for every occasion.~70cl An Cnoc|1981203005|~19846~23390~~
Colour - Deep amber gold.
Nose - Light, rich and aromatic. Positive and firm. Silky, almondy wood notes.
Palate - Firm, distinguished, elegant tones. A fruity oiliness with just a hint of smoke gently enriches the palate.~70cl The Isle of Jura 10 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23389~~
Aromas of burnt peat and chocolate. Balanced, rich and smooth with the characteristic peat, and trace of iodine, of Islay. Smoky, with a hint of seaweed.
Definite edge of salt, with a perfumey taste similar to rose water.scotti~70cl Bowmore 12 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23388~~
The Aberlour Glenvilet Distillery Company is a subsidiary of Campbell Distillers.~70cl Aberlour 10 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23385~~
For many, it is an acquired taste, but one which rewards persistance. Its palate is smokey with a long aftertaste. If you like Islay smokey whiskies, then you'll love this one, you can almost taste the sea.~70cl Laphroaig 10 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23384~~
Its name, pronounced ku-ran, comes from the Gaelic for "peat ember" - this whisky's underlying theme. Its inspiration comes from the days when coal shortages meant greater amounts of local peat were used to dry the malted barley. This distinctive smokiness complements perfectly the fruit notes so characteristic of Glenfiddich.~70cl Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve 12 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23383~~
Just add a touch of water and citrus fruits emerge and maybe a trace of nuts. After a few moments the nuttiness gets stronger and the scent gets sweetened with vanilla and caramel.
The earlier winey notes now become more sherried, the flavour that comes through is full and creamy with subdued flavours which turn in to a light, dry finish, and there's a long lasting after-taste which engages the whole palate.
There's a certain elegance about the sherry finish that makes it great to drink at anytime~70cl Glenmorangie Sherry Wood Finish|1981203005|~19846~23382~~
Malt that's matured as normal in traditional American white oak ex-bourbon casks is then transfered into casks that used to hold fine port for a final period of maturation.
The end result is a malt whisky with the colour of antique copper and a unique taste.
Add a drop of water and the aromas you get predominate with butterscotch and dark chocolate. But there are also fresh minty notes and a certain dryness a bit like lint.~70cl Glenmorangie Lasanta|1981203005|~19846~23381~~
An aftertaste of great complexity.
The perfect spirit to tease the palate before dining.
The exceptional richness of The Dalmore spirit benefits from slightly longer maturation than is typically practised in Scotland.
So their youngest expression is bottled only after twelve years, rather than the more usual ten. Their Master Blender, with some four decades of expertise, has discovered that the complex spirit from the stills is too rich to be tamed by a single style of cask. He favours fusing together the sweet, vanilla rich whiskies from ex-bourbon barrels with the aromatic, spicy and dried fruits characters from sherry casks from Spain.
In this, our entry level expression we have sought balance and richness by selecting malts in a 50:50 recipe - 50% from ex bourbon barrels and 50% from ex-sherry butts.~70cl Dalmore 12 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23380~~
Then this beautifully balanced single malt is left to settle in a small Solera tun before bottling. The result? A full and fruity nose, with delicate honey and vanilla notes. The taste is elegantly smooth, with a deep flavour that reveals fruit, gentle spice and a touch of oak. The finish is long and satisfying.~70cl Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23379~~
Finish: Lingering, with a hint of chocolate, orange and dried fruits.
This triple cask combination delivers an extraordinarily smooth, delicate yet complex Single Malt matured at The Macallan distillery for a minimum of 15 years.~70cl Macallan Fine Oak 15 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23375~~
Each batch is of a unique and of exceptional quality.
Their master craftsmen have created a complex, mellow single malt Scotch whisky from years of patient maturation in casks of the finest Oloroso sherry and American bourbon.
It is secreted away in their traditional warehouse, where the cool, thick stone walls and low ceilings mature the whisky to perfection.
Years later what emerges is a Glenfiddich Ancient Reserve with an elegant nose, faintly sweet, scented with apple and wood.
It is robust and full-bodied, yet remarkably soft, rounded and long lasting.~70cl Glenfiddich Ancient Reserve 18 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23374~~
Palate. The dryness is at first offset by the sweetness of the sherry character. As the palate develops, oily, grassy and, in particular, salt emerges in a long, sustained, aggressive attack.
Finish. A huge, powerful, bear-hug of peat.
The driest of Islay malts, and an established classic.~70cl Lagavulin 16 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23373~~
Its elegance and smoothness make the 18 year old a delight to the malt whisky connoisseur.

Amazingly fragrant with a sweetish note and a smokey maltiness to the finish.~70cl Cragganmore 12 Year Old|1981203005|~19846~23369~~
Set in the town of Rothes in Speyside, Glen Grant is apparently the second highest selling malt whisky worldwide, and was one of the first whiskies to be marketed as a single malt. The 10 year old offers excellent value for money, while the 5 year old is a huge seller in Italy albeit with a very light and spirity nose and taste. Glen Grant distillery started its official life in 1840, and was founded by the brothers John and James Grant. James' son, a major in the army, collected plants from India and Africa and planted them in the distillery gardens.~70cl Glen Grant 1957|1981203005|~19846~23363~~
