Alinta is the first peated whisky added to the range since the distillery was taken over by David Prior in 2015. Alinta, an indigenous Australian word from several Southeast Australian language groups means fire and flames, and evokes the notes of Campfire Embers found in each sip. This expression utilises PX Sherry and ex-bourbon casks combined together with a sweet smoky peated spirit, sets Alinta apart from anything previously released by Bladnoch.

Unfettered, upstanding, and uncut, this whiskey reflects the robust flavours built in every step of Westward’s long, slow process. Westward’s original American Single Malt, reimagined and offered at cask strength. This whiskey best reflects the skillful finesse of Westward’s talented team of brewers-turned-distillers and the beauty of the bounty of the American Northwest. Cask Strength accentuates the rich, locally malted barely, the flavourful beer created in-house with a proprietary ale yeast, and the newly charred American Oak barrels matured to perfection in Oregon, the ideal environment to raise a world class whiskey. Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Cask Strength reflects toasted almond, graham cracker, and black pepper aromas. Flavors include sesame, tobacco leaf and cacao, with a honeyed, deep fiery malt finish.

Bushmills Single Malt Whiskey 16 year old is aged for 16 years in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon-seasoned casks, then matured for several months in port wine barrels. The unique maturation process gives this single malt its distinct notes of juicy fruits, nuts and spice, as well as a hint of ruby redness. Its best enjoyed neat or over ice.

Jack Daniel's is one of the very few Tennessee Whiskies that is charcoal mellowed. Jack Daniel's has a smooth aroma and flavour of vanilla, toasted oak and caramel translates well to the palate. A true American icon that has not only become a favourite here in Australia because of their flavoursome whiskeys, but also with their involvement in V8 Supercar racing with the Jack Daniel's Racing Team. Available here in a convenient 1L bottle.

Note: ABV will vary from batch to batch. An American Whiskey gem and a five star bargain. Highest recommendation. 2020 batch tasted... [15ml sample] A bouquet you can really get lost in... Opens like fresh rye sour dough, turns vaguely herbal (caraway / dill) and follows in a mesmerising combination of apple mint, balsa wood and heavy vanillas. Mouthcoating, oily rye on entry. Astringent and classically spiced-up at mid palate. Mints and cherry chocolate through the finish. Seamless and sophisticated. Stays with you. Fabulous rye. 54.5% Alc./Vol. Previous batch tasted: [30ml sample] Brilliant bronze / new copper penny colour. Initial pass finds aromas of cherry ripe chocolate bar, poached peaches and vanilla. Further air contact accents white pepper, applemint and oak shavings. The lusciously toasty, perfectly-rounded delivery has impeccable wood selection written all over it: Bittersweet spices challenge the sheer weight of the rye but the grain wins out in a rush of oils, dried peach, dark rye and peppermint. Remarkably accessible at natural strength, the aftertaste turns peppery, oaky, then intensely grainy and long. Some found this a 'fruitier' / more Bourbensque style compared with the 55.8% ABV bottling. Wins on length as the flavour rebounds over minutes. Highest recommendation. 54.5% Alc.Vol. 95 points

Suntory's Flagship whiskey, the Yamazaki takes its place as the number 1 single malt whiskey in Japan. Also available in 12, 18 and 25 year varieties the Distillers reserve is the youngest in the lineup. Crafted using malt matured in sherry casks which gives the whisky a rich spiced nose of sherry soaked plums and raisins. On the palate you’ll find coffee and chocolate with a hint of smoke. A fantastic Japanese malt and one of the best currently produced bearing the Takesuru name.

Unusual ageing cycle in wood, Lengthy & very fruity

Perfect for collectors, connoisseurs, or those looking to elevate their bourbon experience, this bundle delivers quality, complexity, and elegance in every sip. Maker: Four Roses Bourbon is a true testament to the artistry of bourbon making, rooted in a legacy that dates back to 1888. It all began with a simple yet meaningful proposal, when Paul Jones Jr. proposed to his fiancée with four red roses, a gesture that would forever be tied to the brand’s identity. Since then, Four Roses has become a revered name in the world of bourbon. With a commitment to quality that has spanned generations, the brand continues to craft exceptional bourbons under the guidance of Master Distiller Brent Elliott. Known for their meticulous attention to detail, Four Roses creates ten distinct bourbon recipes by blending two unique mash bills with five proprietary yeast strains, resulting in a flavour profile that offers a depth and complexity unmatched in the industry. This dedication to innovation and quality, combined with traditional methods, ensures Four Roses continues to stand out as one of the world’s most beloved bourbon brands. Perfect for those looking to explore the rich world of bourbon, Four Roses Yellow Label is an outstanding choice, offering versatility, flavour, and a smooth drinking experience with every pour. Distillery: Nestled in the heart of Kentucky, Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg is where the magic of bourbon begins. The distillery combines tradition with innovation, using limestone-rich water from the spring-fed Salt River and two distinct mash bills—one with 60% corn and the other with 75% corn—blended with five proprietary yeast strains. This results in ten unique recipes, each contributing its own signature flavour to the batch. The distillation process utilises both a column still and a doubler, ensuring a clean and pure distillate. Four Roses’ commitment to excellence extends to its warehousing, where they use single-story rack warehouses to provide a gentle, consistent maturing environment. This unique approach, combined with aging in charred, new American oak barrels, imparts rich, sweet vanilla and toffee notes to the final product. From the very first step of mashing and fermentation to the final bottling, Four Roses continues to craft bourbons that are both consistently exceptional and rich in flavour, honouring a legacy that began over a century ago.

Tasting note: The entrancing bouquet is spicy, creamy yet fresh, all at the same time. One of the most textural and buxom Irish we’ve tasted: Oily, pithy then more cocoa-like towards the finish with a cascade of sweets suggested, ranging through dark chocolate to vanilla wafer and toasted marshmallow; the oak adds balancing grip, while the overall persistence is quite something as the oils sustain the aftertaste. Equally an Irish to savour with water, which brings another dimension highlighting fruits on the nose (fig, orange oils), as well as in the mouth. Almost like two whiskies in one. Superb. Non chill filtered. 46% Alc./Vol.
