This rare, single cask release is an exclusive treat, with only 669 bottles produced, making it a true collector’s item.

The Maker The GlenDronach distillery, established in 1826 by James Allardice, has been crafting exceptional single malts for nearly two centuries. Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, The GlenDronach is renowned for producing whisky that embodies the rich history and heritage of the region. The distillery’s hallmark is its use of Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for maturation, which imbue the whisky with rich, complex flavours and a distinctive character. After a period of closure, The GlenDronach was revived in 2008 and has continued to produce some of the finest single malts on the market. The distillery remains committed to traditional methods, such as direct-fired stills and floor malting, which impart a unique depth and complexity to each expression.

The distillery’s revival in 2008 marked the beginning of a new era, embracing the finest traditions while continually innovating to meet the modern whisky connoisseur’s expectations. The GlenDronach's commitment to quality and craftsmanship shines through in each expression.

Macallan are now very active on the Travel Retail scene, and some believe their best whiskies are now reserved exclusively for this market. Here's another Macallan rarity that would be bound to catch a traveller's eye (the packaging is sleek and non-traditional) as well as rouse your curiosity: This Macallan is peated. It's reported that less than 100 casks have contributed to the creation of 'Mac Black', an out of character whisky which also affirms Macallan’s present commitment to experimentation. All of the barrels were sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, mostly first fill. Intrigued? We certainly are. This is part of a very limited direct import shipment. It's uncertain that we'll able to secure more stocks. Bob Dalgarno, Macallan's Master Whisky Maker comments, “Rare Cask Black tells a different story about our spirit and casks, but more than that it tells a story of rarity. Smoky Macallan is rare, there is very little in existence and once used these casks will be no more. This is a whisky which is out of character for The Macallan due to the subtle seam of smoke on the palate, but it still bears the essential Macallan DNA.”

In 1898, John Duff built the Speyside Distillery, BenRiach. It is one of the few distilleries with its own on-site floor malting and draws its water from the Burnside Springs. A richly sumptuous single malt, interwoven with mellow smoke and a masterful curation of oak. Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and four cask matured for at least twenty five years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and Madeira Island wine casks. During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak. After twenty-five years, rich layering develops into caramelised smoke, further enhanced through multi-layered cask maturation. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create a sumptuous single malt, layered with baked fruit, honey malt and toasted oak spice with a long, rich, caramelised smoke finish. All in perfect balance.

Mortlach Rare By Nature 21 Year OldSingle Malt Scotch Whisky 56.9% Abv, Speyside Called The Beast of Dufftown for its robust, muscular and rich character, little known Mortlach may be the best kept secret in Scotch. Bold flavours are the mark of this special breed, distinguishing it as the monarch of its glen. 'Rich in smooth intensity, from a small batch finished in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso-seasoned casks.' Tasting Notes APPEARANCE Deep gold with amber lights. Good beading. NOSE A mellow, rounded, nose with some prickle. The first impression is of rich, dried fruits, and beneath this fresh-baked buttered scones, perhaps spread with lime marmalade. Soon this becomes lightly savoury and meaty but retains a slight citric note. A drop of water modifies the latter and reduces the aroma. BODY Medium to full. PALATE At natural strength, mild for its strength and super-smooth in texture, while the wonderfully rich mouth-filling taste is immediately sweet overall with dried fruits, then intense and savoury with a surprising kick of chilli pepper as it goes down. Magnificently feral and delicious. Drying overall, with rich tannins. Similar with a dash of water, which raises a little more sweet, spiced fruit. FINISH Seemingly endless and deeply impressive, with the fruit and savoury notes in perfect agreement and a warming glow spreading across the palate. Finally leaving the palate dry, yet still wreathed in a glorious rich afterglow.
