Specification: One of two releases from the anCnoc range launched in the first half of 2015, the Black Hill Reserve is an impressive single malt Scotch whisky which has been allowed to mature in first fill ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV. The name of this release comes from the name of the distillery, Knockdhu, which means Black Hill in Gaelic.
Specification: Pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal’, it’s a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Ardbeg Uigeadail was voted by the 120,000+ strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg.
Specification: Machrie Moor is a peated single malt from the Arran distillery. Bottled at 58.5% at natural cask strength and limited to 9000 bottles, this is the 3rd release in this popular series. Wonderful flavours of vanilla, toffee, citrus, and a little grassy character. Extra strength adds a charred flavour to the peated notes.
Specification: Auchentoshan is the world's best selling lowland malt whisky. The distillery producing Auchentostan spirit is the only Scottish distillery to distil the spirit three times. As such, making Auchentoshan the smoothest, most delicate-tasting single malt scotch whisky.
Specification: Bruichladdich single malt Scotch whisky, made with Bere barley, which has a much lower yield than other varieties. For the 2008 vintage Bere Barley Bruichladdich (a phrase which actually rolls off the tongue rather enjoyably), the barley was actually harvested on Orkney! From one island to another, all to make this light, sweet, refined expression.
Specification: Created by Jim McEwan from whisky matured in American oak casks alongside Lochindaal, and chosen to represent the classic, unpeated distillery style. Bruichladdich's new signature bottling is made with 100% Scottish barley.
Specification: This Bunnahabhain bottling comes in a redesigned bottle. This 12 year old is lightly peated for an Islay single malt and consequently is a light, fresh dram. Now at the higher strength of 46.3% - for more complexity and flavour. Additionally dual labeling now tells the tale of the overall sense of specialty, subtlety, confidence and luxury.
Specification: Born in Mexico and brought up on the beach, Corona is the perfect compliment to life’s simple pleasures. The golden colour, light refreshing flavor and iconic hand painted bottle, topped off with a freshly squeezed lime. When the living is easy, the beer is Corona.
Specification: This one of a kind specially crafted whisky has been expertly made to be the perfect accompaniment to the finest of cigars. Matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry butts, it is then finessed in premier cru Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques.
Specification: Dimple was named after the unique shape of the Dimple bottle. It was also known as Dimple Pinch in the USA, albeit in a stronger 43%abv expression. Dimple has an age statement of 15 years and a much more malty influence including single Malt Whiskies from Glenkinchie and Linkwood in the blend.
Specification: An exceptional single malt whisky matured from specially selected casks that deliver true character of a 15 year old Campbeltown malt whisky. The whisky has been gently matured in our finest American oak barrels before bottling. The signature nose has hints of vanilla oak, interwoven with the subtle notes of sea spray and spicy aromatic fruits.
Specification: Glenfiddich created the third expression in its Age of Discovery Collection to commemorate the 1831 voyage of the HMS Beagle. The Beagle travelled around the globe and landed on the east coast of South America, allowing Charles Darwin to collect fossils that would lead to the development of his famous theory of evolution. Aged 19 years, this edition is finished in oak casks that were once used to produce the complex, velvety wines of South America. The result is an extraordinarily rich single malt with exceptional smoothness, complemented by warm, spicy notes.
Specification: Named after the traditional Glengarry bonnet worn as part of Scottish military or civilian Highland dress, the Glengarry whisky range is made at the very versatile Loch Lomond distillery. This is their entry level single malt expression. Well balanced barley and citrus peel notes, with touches of peat smoke shining through.
Specification: Glengoyne's new 15 year old is a rich, rounded single malt, completely devoid of peat smoke thanks to air-drying the barley. It is aged in both bourbon and first-fill sherry casks, with some refill cask whisky thrown in for good measure.
Specification: A wonderfully creamy and thick 18 year old dram, matured for 15 years in ex bourbon casks before being finished in Oloroso sherry casks. An exquisite, tropical-fruit driven Glenmorangie.
Specification: A blend of our oldest whisky - distilled over thirty years ago when malting still occurred on site and spirit matured in a selection of the world's finest casks, this undoubtedly is the richest whisky in our range. Of course, whilst the exact secrets of its production are known only to our whisky creators, we can tell you that Signet's melting sweetness and explosive spiciness is, at least in part, caused by our unique roasted 'chocolate' barley malt and the 'designer casks' made bespoke for Glenmorangie from American white oak. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel.
Specification: The casks impart an astonishing flavour to the whisky as it matures – at once dark and full bodied with a rich and nutty spiciness, yet brimming with sweet dried fruits, cinder toffee and soft fudge. 25 years encased in oak has not only created a whisky with impressive depths, but time has delivered a vibrant sweetness too. Renowned whisky writer F. Paul Pacult named it Best Spirit in the World in the 2013 Spirit Journal – an accolade of which we are particularly (but typically quietly) proud.
Specification: This special edition honors Mr. Jack’s opening of the White Rabbit Saloon formerly located in Lynchburg’s town square. The saloon was a favorite Lynchburg gathering place where he and his friends could spend time together and enjoy a glass of Mr. Jack's fine Tennessee sipping whiskey. The bottle will only be available in Tennessee and in select international markets.

Specification: Aged in oak casks for at least sixteen years, this much sought-after single malt has the massive peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay - but also offering a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram. Lagavulin 16 Year Old demands to be served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.
Specification: A lighter style Macallan with flavors of citrus, vanilla and coconut. The addition of American oak bourbon seasoned barrels imparts aromas and flavors slightly drier and more oaky than the american oak sherry casks, with more pronounced aromas and flavors of coconut, but still with the lighter colors and sweetness associated with American oak. Colour: Pale Straw. Nose: Complex with a hint of fruit and heather honey. Palate: Medium, balanced with fruit, oak and spice. Finish: Lingering with dried fruits, oak and spice.
Specification: The 1824 Collection is a range of Macallans released for the travel retail market. The Select Oak edition is a complex combination of first-fill European oak casks seasoned with oloroso sherry, and American oak casks seasoned with either oloroso sherry or bourbon.
Specification: While most distilleries use their Coffey stills only to make grain whisky, Nikka use the two Coffey stills at their Miyagikyo distillery to create malt whisky too. The Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky was introduced to their selection of expressions in 2014. Plenty rich and flavoursome, it's a wonderful addition to Nikka's fantastic range.
Specification: Aged in both American and Spanish oak casks, the mid-range Old Pulteney 17 Year Old strikes the perfect balance between maturity and the distillery’s signature coastal style, winning hearts of whisky enthusiasts the world over. Taste: Sweet with soft fruits: kiwi, guava, peach.
Specification: Produced by John Distilleries in Goa, India, the Paul John range of single malt whiskies (named after their Chairman) represents a move into premium spirits for a company who are already big players in the Indian molasses 'whisky' market. Made using Indian 6-row barley from the Himalayan foothills, Brilliance is matured in bourbon barrels for 3-5 years before bottling at cask strength. (As with Amrut, the tropical climate cause greater evaporation, around 12-13% a year, but in turn they show very well at younger ages.)
