Dalmore Vintage 2008
This vintage from The Dalmore's impressive selection of sherried drams, is a Dalmore for whisky purists. This 2008 Vintage was initally matured in American white oak bourbon casks, before a second aging in Matusalem sherry and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Bottled at 15 years old, the palate is full of manuka honey, sweet cacao, poached apples, and golden sultanas. The expertly-crafted marriage is more than worth its price.
Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak
This 16 year old expression showcases The Balvenie's Malt Master David C. Stewart's expertly honed cask management skills. Matured in American oak and finished in specially selected French oak casks, which previously held Pineau fortified wine, the whisky is a sensational abundance of fruity and floral flavour. All encased in a luxurious box, it makes for a stunning present.
Blanton's Original Single Barrel
This single barrel bourbon, taken from the middle sections of Blanton's Warehouse H, was once the preserve of ambassadors, dignitaries and friends and family of Colonel Blanton himself. The gorgeous bourbon is full and soft, burnt sugar and caramel mixing with orange and cloves, all encased in their signature grenade bottle with their collectable horse and jockey stopper. Top shelf liquid gold!
GlenDronach 18 Year Old
A sherry-bomb of the highest order, this 18-year-old from Glendronach is bursting with flavours of stewed fruits, mixed spice, dark chocolate and polished oak. It's no wonder, as it has undergone a lengthy slumber in the finest Oloroso sherry casks. Gift sherried Speyside at it's finest this Christmas.
Hakushu 12 Year Old
This ultra-fresh Japanese whisky was born at Suntory's mountain distillery, nestled deep in the forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake. Hakushu is distilled using peated spirit, which is perfectly softened and balanced with pure mountain water to create this fresh expression. Find basil, pine needles and green apple on the nose, with a palate full of sweet pear, mint and kiwi, ending up subtly smoky with green tea.
Jameson 18 Year Old
Continuing John Jameson's legacy of triple distillation while staying true to the pot still character he established in 1780, Jameson is remarkably smooth and perfectly balanced. This exceptional bottling has spent 18 years maturing in the finest oak barrels, resulting in flavours of toffee, aged wood and baking spices. A real sight for sore eyes for any Jameson fan!
Glenrothes 18 Year Old
Matured for its entire lifetime in sherry-seasoned oak casks, this superb The Glenrothes 18 Year Old is a complex and well-rounded expression. The taste is sweet and light with notes of ginger, rose water, pear and vanilla. A true delight that they will be proud to own.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label
Treat your favourite Johnnie Walker fan to this big flavoured whisky, which reflects the Walker family's belief that neither whisky age alone, nor whisky from a single location, is enough to achieve an unrivalled masterpiece such as Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Award-winning and gorgeous, this bottle can also be engraved with your own special message.
Mortlach 16 Year Old Distiller's Dram
Well under £200, this Mortlach is an award-winning steal! The Speyside 16-year-old is distilled 2.81 times in a complicated process referred to simply as 'The Way'.
