Spooktacular Spirits
Darkness Dalmore 14 Year Old
Another outstanding Oloroso cask finish by Darkness. This expression is a stunning limited edition 14-year-old dram from Dalmore, adding to Darkness' ever-expanding collection of exceptional sherry matured fare. This dram arrives at 49.1% abv.
On the nose you can expect cinnamon, ginger, and apple pie. Aniseed, milk chocolate, white pepper, and toasted bread all make themselves apparent on the palate. The finish is rich and chocolatey with a subtle hint of espresso.
Kill Devil Rum Barbados Foursquare 14 Year Old
Though the name might be found unusual, Kill Devil is a reference to the original name for rum given to it by Caribbean Islanders in the 17th and 18th century. It endured on as a nickname, especially as this spirit was drunk to combat scurvy, a 'devil' of sorts. This sumptuous Foursquare 14 Year Old is bottled at a cask strength 63.1% abv - the strong stuff is definitely capable of warding of satan! (Or perhaps it's exactly his kind of tipple.)
Mortlach 13 Year Old Diageo Special Release 2021
Inspired by the myth of a moonlit beast of Dufftown, this is a Mortlach 13 Year Old that packs a punch. Cask strength at 55.9% abv, this was distilled in 2007. It spent its slumber in a mixture of virgin and refill American oak casks, and has a cask-imparted colour. This dram is also free from any chill filtration.
Aromas of freshly oiled wood arrive on the nose, alongside roast pheasant, redcurrant jelly, and heather pollen. The smooth texture envelops the palate, with notes of spicy oak, chilli pepper, and an intense vanilla sweetness. The finish is powerful, with a peppery glow combining with fruit and spiciness. An elegant Speyside whisky.
Glen Scotia 14 Year Old Icons of Campbeltown Release 2
Glen Scotia 14 Year Old ‘Icons of Campbeltown’ Release 2 is part of a five-expression series taking inspiration from The Campbeltown market cross – a community meeting point for storytelling. Bottled at batch strength (56.8% abv), and non-chill filtered, this fiery number is medium peated and finished for six-months in ex-Barolo red wine casks.
Starting with a refreshing nose of tart red berries and maritime salt, coupled with a smoothing palate of vanilla and melted brown sugar, this unique dram ends on a long smoky note with hints of cherry.
Ardbeg Monsters of Smoke Pack
A fabulous pack of three top-drawer Ardbeg drams. The set includes Ardbeg Ten Year Old, Ardbeg Five Year Old Wee Beastie, and Ardbeg An Oa. Each of these bottles feature a hidden artwork hiding behind the label. Peel it off to see what spooky spectacle is awaiting.
Kraken Black Spiced Rum Black Cherry & Madagascan Vanilla
A wildly delicious new incarnation, The Kraken Black Cherry & Madagascan Vanilla Rum is a refreshing and versatile addition to The Kraken range. Rich cherry flavour dominates, with a subtle undercurrent of vanilla, creating a sweet and warming drinking experience. Try with cola over ice, for a tasty twist on a classic.
