LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD CASK STRENGTH BATCH #9 ISLAY SINGLE MALT LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD CASK STRENGTH BATCH #9Founded in 1815, and often considered to be the whisky equivalent of Marmite (in that you either love it or hate it), Laphroaig is a smoky, medicinal tasting whisky from the south coast of Islay. Clearly more people fall into the “love” category though, as Laphroaig is one of the top ten best selling single malts in the world. Just as well, then, that it is the second largest distillery on the island (after Caol Ila), capable of producing 3.4 million litres of spirit per annum.The distillery still retains its own malting floor, and although it only covers 20% of their requirements, it is instrumental in providing the creosote-y, phenolic character that defines the Laphroaig spirit.58.1% ABV / 70clQty: 1

JURA 20 YEAR OLD 'ONE AND ALL' ISLAND SINGLE MALT JURA 20 YEAR OLD 'ONE AND ALL'With deer outnumbering people by around 25 to 1, it’s surprising the isle of Jura can sustain a distillery at all, let alone a decent sized one capable of supplying 2.2 million litres of spirit per annum. Although it was originally founded in 1810, the distillery closed at the turn of the century and wasn’t revived until the 1960 when it was completely rebuilt by two of the island’s local landowners.Despite the abundant peat available on the island, Jura’s style has tended to be somewhat lighter, as dictated by the blending requirements of its owners over the years. Today it is operated by Whyte & MacKay, under the Emperador umbrella.51% ABV / 70clQty: 1

Off limits to the public, it is home to a “sensory lab” as well as two of Glenmorangie’s signature stills, each of which plays host to several classified modifications.

GLEN ORD 2007 12 YEAR OLD MEY SELECTIONS HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT GLEN ORD 2007 12 YEAR OLD MEY SELECTIONSThe Black Isle distillery of Glen Ord has suffered a bit of an identity crisis over the years. It has produced single malt whisky under a variety of names: Glen Ord, Glenordie, Ordie, Muir of Ord, and (simply) Ord. Today its name plays second fiddle to the Singleton brand, of which it is a part, alongside Glendullan and Dufftown distilleries.Like Springbank and Roseisle, Glen Ord is one the few distilleries that can satisfy its malting requirements in house. Their use of very lightly peated malt, combined with a distillation process that maximises copper contact, results in a grassy spirit that reveals notes of ginger as it matures in the cask.Bottled: 2007Matured in a Sherry ButtBottle Number: 411 / 68951% ABV / 70clQty: 1

AUCHENTOSHAN THE BARTENDER'S MALT EDITION #1 LOWLAND SINGLE MALT AUCHENTOSHAN THE BARTENDER'S MALT EDITION #1Auchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt. Similarly unusual is its use of triple distillation to produce a purer spirit that’s light and mildly fruity.Situated just outside Clydebank, the distillery was lucky to survive the 1941 blitz relatively unscathed. Only one of its warehouses was damaged by a bomb blast, and another near miss provided a blast crater that later became the distillery’s picturesque pond.47% ABV / 70clQty: 1

DALWHINNIE 15 YEAR OLD CENTENARY HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT DALWHINNIE 15 YEAR OLD CENTENARYDalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.43% ABV / 70clQty: 1

In fact, it wasn’t until nearly 100 years later, when Kininvie was built, that it was able to seriously market its own single malt.One of very few distilleries to retain its own malting floor, Balvenie is slightly unusual for a modern Speyside whisky in that it still uses a small percentage of peated malt to make its spirit. While the new make it produces is far from smoky, this small amount of peat gives it a distinctive character that has helped it become one of the best-selling malt whiskies in the world.40% ABV / 70clQty: 1

DALMORE PORT WOOD RESERVE WITH 2 GLASSES HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT DALMORE PORT WOOD RESERVE WITH 2 GLASSESDalmore have invested a lot to position themselves as a luxury brand, with their high-end expressions always resplendent in crystal decanters and lavish packaging. And you won’t ever hear them boasting about different cask finishes. Oh no, no, no; they prefer to “finesse” their spirit in a variety of exotic sounding wood. While this type of posturing isn’t exactly unique in the whisky industry, it does create a nagging doubt that the whole thing might just be a case of style over substance.Thankfully, Dalmore’s spirit (more often than not) lives up to the hype. They have a complicated distillation process that utilises mismatched stills to produce distillates with different characteristics. These are then vatted together, before being filled into the distillery’s preferred Sherry casks.46.5% ABV / 70clQty: 1

ARDBEG 10 YEAR OLD 1L ISLAY SINGLE MALT ARDBEG 10 YEAR OLDLocated on the island’s rugged south coast, Ardbeg distillery represents the peatier end of the Islay spectrum. While it has endured some tough times, spending several years mothballed, the distillery has undergone a bit of a renaissance since being bought over by Glenmorangie and is now on a stable footing.While it still retains its signature sooty spirit, Ardbeg has also adopted its new parent company’s fondness for experimental cask finishes, arguably increasing its appeal.40% ABV / 1LQty: 1

HIGHLAND PARK 1989 BLACKADDER RAW CASK ISLAND SINGLE MALT HIGHLAND PARK 1989 BLACKADDER RAW CASKOrkney’s Highland Park distillery is situated in the town of Kirkwall on the site of an illicit still thought to have been operated by Magnus Eunson, a smuggler, local butcher and former priest who was directly descended from Viking settlers. With that heritage, it’s fitting that today they frequently draw from Scandinavian mythology when it comes to naming their whiskies.The distillery is known for its signature style that utilises Orcadian peat in the malting process, resulting in a fragrant, heathery spirit that is most often left matured in Sherry wood.Distilled: 01/03/1989Bottled: August 2001Matured in Sherry Butt #1003756.6% ABV / 70clQty: 1

GLENMORANGIE BURGUNDY WOOD FINISH HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT GLENMORANGIE BURGUNDY WOOD FINISHFamous for their unique stills, each as tall as an adult giraffe, and their passion for innovation, Glenmorangie remains one of the best-selling single malts in the world. They were one of the first distilleries to experiment with cask finishing; the process of transferring spirit from one cask type to another in order to impart additional characteristics and flavours.To further this agenda of innovation, in September of 2021 Glenmorangie began production at their new “Lighthouse” facility, a futuristic R&D department protruding from the heart of their traditional distillery complex like a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Off limits to the public, it is home to a “sensory lab” as well as two of Glenmorangie’s signature stills, each of which plays host to several classified modifications. Only time will tell what exciting innovations will filter down to the rest of the industry.This expression, finished in Cote D'Or Burgundy wine casks, had a relatively short production run between 2002 and 2007.43% ABV / 70clQty: 1

BUNNAHABHAIN 12 YEAR OLD ISLAY SINGLE MALT BUNNAHABHAIN 12 YEAR OLDPurpose built in 1881 by William Baxter, Bunnahabhain distillery on the northeast coast of Islay featured housing for its workers, as well as its own pier for ease of transporting whisky and materials to and from the mainland. As with most distilleries, much of its life was spent producing blending stock, but in the late 1980s it began to appear as a single malt.Initially this single malt output was mostly sherry matured and so lightly peated as to be barely perceptible, placing Bunna’ firmly in the minority of Islay whiskies. However, since its takeover by Distell in 2013 around 20% of the spirit produced there is now heavily peated, with these expressions bearing the name “Moine” (the Gaelic word for peat).This older style 12 Year Old predates the distillery re-brand that took place in 2010.40% ABV / 70clQty: 1

Even so, getting your hands on a bottle can still be tricky, with new releases selling out as soon as they hit the shelves, and older examples regularly setting records at auction.The Fine Oak range from Macallan caused a bit of a stir when it was introduced in 2004, as it marked the first time the distillery would deviate from their tried and true method of full sherry cask maturation.40% ABV / 70clQty: 1

AUCHENTOSHAN 1973 20 YEAR OLD RADIO CLYDE ANNIVERSARY LOWLAND SINGLE MALT AUCHENTOSHAN 1973 20 YEAR OLD RADIO CLYDE ANNIVERSARYAuchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt. Similarly unusual is its use of triple distillation to produce a purer spirit that’s light and mildly fruity.Situated just outside Clydebank, the distillery was lucky to survive the 1941 blitz relatively unscathed. Only one of its warehouses was damaged by a bomb blast, and another near miss provided a blast crater that later became the distillery’s picturesque pond.No stated ABV / Approximately 75clThisQty: 1Please note that these decanters were supplied without a seal.

Clearly more people fall into the “love” category though, as Laphroaig is one of the top ten best selling single malts in the world. Just as well, then, that it is the second largest distillery on the island (after Caol Ila), capable of producing 3.4 million litres of spirit per annum.The distillery still retains its own malting floor, and although it only covers 20% of their requirements, it is instrumental in providing the creosote-y, phenolic character that defines the Laphroaig spirit.Distilled: October 1997Bottled: September 2018Matured in a refill Hogshead.Bottle Number: 32 / 12344% ABV / 70cl
