Specification: All casks are held full term, providing the time and space for the subtle strength of European oak to temper the cultured fruit notes of classic French viniculture. Peated to 208ppm it is released at five years old when the massive phenols so characteristic of this extraordinary single malt are at their most vital. This is a spirit with a texture and depth of flavour that is simply inimitable.
Specification: Scotch whiskey Bunnahabhain Cruach Mona is considered a mysterious and unpredictable drink, and finding it on sale is not so simple. It matures in oak barrels with the smell of bourbon and sherry. The peaty aroma of the drink is intertwined with shades of seaweed, which are harmoniously complemented by notes of liquorice and toasted bread. Having tried this spirit, you will be surprised how successfully its peaty malt sweetness is complemented by the taste of summer fruits. The aftertaste will also please true connoisseurs: it has noticeably fewer peaty notes compared to past versions of the drink, but on the second plan, fruit notes are clearly felt.
Specification: Chivas Regal 12 is a blend of many different malt and grain Scotch whiskies, matured for at least 12 years. This rich, smooth blend combines style with substance and tradition. For James Chivas, there were two fundamental principles of blending: ‘old, mature stocks and a distinct Speyside accent’. Master Blender Colin Scott adheres to those same principles today, with whiskies at least 12 years old with a generous measure of Speyside malts.
