A tribute to the rebirth of their 200 year old distillery. Bladnoch's award winning Master Distiller Ian Macmillan hand selects every cask to bring together this luscious Single Malt full bodied and fragrant with a rich core and lingering tail.

This elegant non-filtered single malt is initially matured in Bourbon casks, then extra matured or 'finished' in Port casks, to create the chocolate, minty notes of The Quinta Ruban. A dense and complex Scotch. This whisky offers a nose of rose scented Turkish delight, honeysuckle, tangerines and dark chocolate A soft, velvety texture leads to tastes of berries and nutmeg entwined with mint chocolate and Seville orange, then a bold and deep finish.

This 40 year old Highland single malt began its life at The Dalmore distillery in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to 30 year old Gonzalez Byass Matusalem oloroso sherry butts. After seven years in these rare casks, the liquid was given its final flourish in first-fill American white oak bourbon casks prior to bottling in 2017. Rich Colombian coffee mingles with sweet sultanas, dates and marmalade on the nose. The palate reveals gingerbread, molasses, maple syrup and brioche dipped in Manuka honey. The finish has delicious blood orange, over ripe Bramley apples, liquorice and notes of desiccated coconut.

Thirty years ago, Glenmorangie innovated in the art of extra-maturation, transferring spirit first matured in ex-bourbon casks, into ex-wine casks so that it could gain further layers of flavour. For The Nectar d'Or, the whisky is finished in barriques from Sauternes: the most famous sweet wine of France. This whisky develops its rich, dessert-like flavours of white chocolate, cr me de caramel, with hints of coconut. Almond croissants flecked with ginger and honey.

“The elemental opposite of the sophisticated Lord of the Isles.” Perched on a wave washed, rocky headland, the Ardbeg distillery was founded in 1815 by the MacDougalls of Ardbeg. The distilleries scattered white washed buildings are reminiscent of a Dutch settlement and add to the dramatic coastal landscape. Ardbeg has had a chequered history and in recent times had been closed down for many years. Glenmorangie acquired Ardbeg in 1997 and has set about restoring the distillery to its former glory. First launched in 2003, “Uigeadail” (the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows) this cask strength, heavily peated Ardbeg is produced from a mix of bourbon casks and older sherry casks. The combination gives this whisky a velvety texture, with a sweet and smokey finish. Tasting notes: Bright gold appearance. Big, sweet sherry influenced nose offers dried apricot and marmalade scents over menthol and sweet cedar smoke. Some ripe green apple notes emerge with time in the glass. The palate is off dry with a rich, dark chocolate entry becoming heavier and fudge-like with orange chocolate, sweet cereal and the peat continually reinventing itself - at once dry and sooty, then tarry and finally kippery on the finish. Excellent balance at cask strength. Boiled lolly and spice aftertaste with a subtle spearmint fade. Latest batch tasted October 2010.

Named after a peninsula on the coast of Islay, Bill Lumsden has mixed it up with this release employing a combination of casks: Pedro Ximénez, charred virgin oak and ex-bourbon. An Oa (pronounced “an oh”) will become a part of the core range joining the 10 year old, Uigeadail, and Corryvreckan. Lumsden describes the whisky as "...smoky, sweet and rounded, with unusually, grilled artichokes in the finish." Tasting note: Bright gold. As always deceptively complex, developing with sherried oak aromas, lanolin, sooty vanilla and later, dark chocolate and suggestions of smoldering green pine. Entry is assertively salty, kippery, peppery. Mid palate is oily, medium dry, offering sherried richness along with piney juniper, over-baked sponge cake, black tea and hints of smoked meats at the finish. No shortage of peat, but loses some momentum in the final stages. Non chill filtered. 46.6% Alc./Vol.

(This whisky has recently been repackaged as a standard 21 Year Old as opposed to its previous incarnation as 'Gran Reserva'). Glenfiddich resurrects the lost tradition of maturing whisky in rum casks with this Glenfiddich 21 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky. Rum distillers from Sancti Spiritus, near the Sierra del Escambray in the heart of Cuba, worked to develop this unique Cuban rum finish. Casks of Cuban rum are decanted at the distillery in Scotland and then filled with 21 Year Old Glenfiddich to absorb the unique character lingering in the wood. The result is the unmistakable Glenfiddich flavour revealed through a new and vibrant overtone.

Released in the UK in 2021, 'A Tale Of Winter' is the latest annual limited edition from Glenmorangie to arrive in Australia, coinciding with the approaching Winter season and World Whisky Day (Saturday the 21st of May). Like its predecessor, "A Tale of Cake', this is a concept whisky from the inside out. Bill Lumsden has used 13 year old (plus) x-Bourbon matured single malt and finished it in Sicilian Marsala wine casks. The flavours of Marsala typically hint at apricot, vanilla and brown sugar and range from dry to very sweet. Evidently Lumsden felt these casks were perfectly suited to provide the profile he was looking for. The marketing team have responded with an eye catching knit-sweater-patterned presentation to evoke the feeling of the season. As for the whisky itself, it kind of reminds you of mulled wine or spiced rum. The colour is deeper and the nose heavier and richer than most 'Morangies to date; Festive spices feature, with cinnamon and nutmeg over ginger snaps and hints of orange cake and boiled confectionary. The palate is more full bodied again with a deliberate spice theme: Ginger beer, fruit cake and persistent warming spices ricochet around the drying finish. Ultimately, it's a whisky that achieves exactly what the label suggests - a genuine Winter warmer. Besides sipping straight, Glenmorangie recommend it in a Winter Old Fashioned (recipe below). 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Product Description: Dalmore’s house style, magnified across three rare cask dimensions. The Dalmore 35 Year Old is a masterclass in composure. Crafted from a trinity of exceptional casks—American white oak ex-Bourbon, rare Colheita Port pipes, and 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts—it represents one of the distillery’s most refined releases. Once these elements reach peak maturity, they’re married in first-fill Bourbon barrels to harmonise into a single, seamless expression. Only a limited number of bottles are released, a fact that underscores both the rarity of the spirit and the patience involved in its production. Each cask contributes its own texture and tone: the Port gives ripeness, the Sherry brings complexity, and the Bourbon barrels anchor the whisky with classic Highland warmth. A contemplative dram built for those who seek nuance and depth. Best served neat, savoured slowly with toasted nuts or dark stone fruit tarts. Tasting Notes NOSE – Aromatic and rich Colombian coffee, liquorice, orange, molasses, cherries and ginger. PALATE – Spiced and layered Marmalade, ground cinnamon, chocolate cake, chestnut, and raisin. FINISH – Deeply textured Mango steeped in aged Port, plums, and rich pineapple.

Product Description: Three decades of precision, patience, and Port cask brilliance. The Dalmore 30 Year Old is a hallmark Highland Single Malt that blends classic house style with rare cask influence. Matured initially in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, it’s then finished in a meticulous mix of Colheita and select Tawny Port casks sourced exclusively from Graham’s. The result is a whisky layered in complexity and depth, showcasing the finesse of long maturation with the bold character of expertly chosen barrels. Gregg Glass, Dalmore’s Master Whisky Maker, has crafted a whisky that speaks not just of age, but of evolution. The dual-port finish imparts a richness uncommon even in aged malts—this is not just a 30-year-old, it’s a statement of cask management, and a lesson in luxury. Expect vibrant notes of maraschino cherry, rich cacao, and dark berry fruits to unfold in the glass. Pair it with fine dark chocolate, venison, or aged hard cheeses—or enjoy it neat to experience its full narrative. Tasting Notes NOSE – Spiced and sweet Manuka honey, dark berries, marzipan and warming cinnamon. PALATE – Rich and complex Victoria plum, dark cacao, Maraschino cherry, and hints of Colombian coffee.
