'Twas the month before Christmas and all through the land customers were scurrying in search of a dram. The whiskies were many, too many to pick, but The Whisky Shop was there to help old St. Nick!
To get some immediate feedback on the newest whisky from Islay, Ardnahoe, we allowed random customers who walked into our Manchester store the chance to try an advanced sample. Store manager, Phil, captured their first impressions and we have condensed their reactions into a short video.
Scotland's small islands – from Arran, Jura and Mull in the West, to Orkney in the North – produce whiskies of various styles. Though, when referring to the Island region, this does exclude the 'whisky capital' Islay, which is a region of its own. Island whiskies differ to one another, as their qualities are born from the individuality of the island itself. They, like the beautiful countryside they spring from, will provide something to suit everyone's taste.
Bottled to celebrate the 2024 Campbeltown Malt Festival, this limited-edition Glen Scotia bottling is a charmingly unconventional dram fit for a celebration together.
