Product Information: The ultra-exclusive Willett ‘Purple Tops’ have arrived with this extraordinary 11-Year-Old Willett Family Estate Bourbon, Barrel No. #3052, bottled at a bold 67.5% ABV. On the nose, it reveals floral and fruity notes with a hint of baked apple and toffee, balanced by subtle cinnamon. The palate follows with a velvety mix of cinnamon, poached fruits, and baking spices that linger, offering a refined yet intense experience. Despite its strength, the whiskey remains exceptionally smooth—perfect for savouring or as a highly collectible addition. Crafted solely for Willett’s Private Barrel Selection program, Willett Family Estate Bourbon is an un-chill filtered, cask strength bourbon that stands apart for its depth and complexity. This rare release reflects Willett's dedication to quality, produced with a mash bill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% malted barley. Maker: In 1936, Thompson Willett founded Willett Distillery, a name that has become synonymous with exceptional Kentucky whiskey. Built near the family farm purchased by his father, Lambert Willett, the distillery produced its first batch of Kentucky bourbon in 1937 on St. Patrick’s Day, marking the beginning of a storied legacy. This inaugural production yielded 30 barrels of whiskey, which were stored in hillside rickhouses, designed to harness Kentucky’s cool breeze to aid in ageing. Today, the Willett family, now in its fourth generation, continues Thompson’s vision of making small-batch Kentucky bourbon and rye at the same historic site. The Philosophy: The Willett family’s journey in whiskey-making spans generations, each driven by a respect for quality and tradition. Thompson Willett’s meticulous approach, inspired by his father and grandfather, emphasised the use of premium ingredients, precision in every detail, and the patience to let each batch develop its character over time. This timeless commitment has made Willett Distillery one of Kentucky’s most revered bourbon producers, delivering a legacy of authenticity and craftsmanship in every bottle. Nose Floral, Fruity, Toffee Remarkably mellow given the high ABV, with aromas of floral notes, baked apple, toffee, and a gentle hint of cinnamon. Palate Cinnamon, Poached Fruits, Baking Spices A rich blend of Calvados-like fruity notes and cinnamon with layers of baking spices, creating a deep, complex flavour profile. Finish Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Sweet Brown Spices Smooth yet intense, closing with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and brown spices. Dangerously easy to drink.

Established in 1826 by James Allardice the Glendronach distillery was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland. The GlenDronach is borne of the landscape and natural ingredients that surround, from the soft Highland water drawn from the underwater springs in the Balnoon hills to the Scottish malted barley sourced from our trusted partners. The hallmark of the distillery is the marriage of robust Highland spirit with the finest Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucia in Spain. This exquisite duality brings exceptional depth, complexity, and character to their whiskies. Each year Master Distiller, Billy Walker, specially selects a handful of individual cask from the warehouse at GlenDronach Distillery, to be bottled as the GlenDronach 'Limited Release'. With maturing whiskies dating back as far as 1968, there is a vast selection of barrels, hogsheds, puncheons and butts to choose from. Each of the casks display truly remarkable characteristic - the malt whisky contained within having developed exceptionally during the long maturation process. Individually numbered by hand, each vintage release is an exclusive one-off, with only a limited number of bottles available. These exceptional expressions are a fantastic representation of the style of whiskies maturing in the GlenDronach Distillery warehouses, and are smooth, well balanced and tremendously complex. Each dram is guaranteed to delight and inspire. This single cask was matured in Oloroso casks for 28 years. A deep walnut brown in colour, aromas of raisins, cinnamon and crème caramel. On the palate are more raisins, muscatels, walnuts and of course rich sherry flavours, with Christmas spices of cinnamon and cloves.

For over 150 years, the Dalmore has set the standard in multi cask maturation. Hand selected casks, from the world's finest bodegas and wineries are expertly curated to create a sumptuous and layered whisky of legendary finesse. The 2023 release of The Dalmore 21 Year Old was initially matured in American oak casks and finished in first-fill Matusalem oloroso sherry butts. The casks used to finish this exceptional dram were specially selected by Dalmore’s Richard Paterson. They rested for decades at González Byass in Jerez, where they were used to mature 30-year-old Matusalem Olorosso Sherry, before making the long journey to the Scottish Highlands. This is not the easiest way to source a whisky cask, but the extra effort makes perfect sense when the Dalmore 21 Year Old hits your glass. Seville oranges, bitter chocolate and Colombian coffee tantalise on the nose, while sweet liquorice, black forest fruits and roasted walnuts delight the palate, finishing with notes of peaches, ginseng and pear tarte tatin.
