TASTING NOTES:

Fruity, Sweet & Peaty

Lightly burnt popcorn and treacle tart treat the nose, flavourful BBQ pineapple arouses the palate as it leads summer berries, pine nuts and almonds into the mix, finished under a blanket of biscuit and apple.

Craigellachie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted from malted barley and pure spring water sourced from a spring on nearby Little Convall Hill. The malt is prepared in a wood-fired kiln before being triple-distilled through Craigellachie’s two spirit stills - finally, the distillery uses rare worm tub condensers to impart unusually strong flavours onto the whisky."

TASTING NOTES:

Sweet, Smooth & Rich

Oak spice and gingerbread on the nose, before diving into a palate populated by syrup sponge, vanilla custard, buttery baklava and toasted brown sugar. Lemon shortbread and gingersnap biscuits linger in the finish.

Here we have Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or, finished in lovely syrupy Sauternes wine casks! The single malt is initially aged in American oak bourbon casks before being transferred to wine casks from Sauternes, which previously held the sweet French wine.

This edition was awarded a silver medal as the Best Single Malt Scotch among whiskies until 12 years old at the World Whiskies Awards 2019.

TASTING NOTES:

Smokey, Sweet & Rich

Cigar leaves, smoked ham, hickory, and lemon peels line the senses on approach. A body of elegant smoke and boiled sweets precede the final touch of a long and peppery spicy warmth.

43% ABV, Islay, SCOTLAND

A minerally and well-balanced peated single malt from Islay. Caol Ila is the Gaelic name for the Sound of Islay”, the narrow strait that separates the island from Jura in one of the wildest regions on the west coast of Scotland.

The history of Caol Ila is a little rough going as it changed hands multiple times over the years, shuttered during WWII due to barley restrictions and finally seeing the entire distilling facility demolished in 1972. Shortly thereafter in 1974, production resumed before finally becoming a part of Diageo and taking the place as the largest distillery in Islay both in size and production. Caol Ila is readily known as one of the lighter, more nuanced and delicate of the Islay single malts with the 12 year as their entry level offering originally debuting in the summer of 2002.
