Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask
"Pale gold in colour, the nose is fresh and slightly citric (lemon zest) supported by a delicate floral note (freesia?) and a trace of vanilla cream biscuits. The taste is both lightly sweet and acidic with a clean, tart finish." - Charlie MacLean
Highland Park 18 Year Old 2024 Release
Part of Highland Park's newly branded range, this liquid is balanced and complex.
Matured in first-fill, sherry-seasoned European oak, sherry-seasoned American oak, and refill casks, the Highland Park 18-year-old is intensely fruity on the nose but effortlessly smooth with a lingering spice on the palate.
Balblair 18 Year Old
This 18-year-old single malt was distilled at Balblair in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Matured in American oak bourbon casks, with a finish in first-fill Spanish oak butts, the late-night expression is rich and autumnal, striking a perfect balance with the bright and fruity character of the distillery. Bottled at 46% abv, free from chill filtration and at natural colour.
Expect aromas of sweet poached pears drizzled in caramel, and a touch of leather. The palate boasts elegant flavours of juicy apricots, seasoned oak and vanilla custard, leading to a long and warming finish of mixed spcies and raisin.
Arran 18 Year Old 2024 Release
One of the oldest and most popular expressions from Arran's core range, the Arran 18-Year-Old 2024 release is a much anticipated dram. Winner of not one, but two World Whisky Awards, this liquid is rich and complex, crafted using the ultimate recipe of finest Scottish barley, superb Scottish water from Loch na Davie, and hand-selected aged Sherry Casks. The resulting bottling sits at 46% abv, with delicious notes of dark chocolate and dried fruits.
