The culmination of six "Work In Progress" releases is this core bottling from the Glengyle Distillery: a lightly peated and non-chill filtered 12 year old malt matured in a combination of 70% Bourbon casks and 30% Sherry casks. If the intention has been to create an accessible all-rounder that appeals to a wide audience, then this certainly succeeds. Offering a beautiful integration of aromas and flavours ranging from rich cereals, light sea spray freshness, a touch of lanolin and even a farmyard earthiness in the thread of peat stitching the whole together, it straddles the breadth of flavours we’ve enjoyed in the “Work in Progress” series, only delivered in a softer package. Because Kilkerran run just one bottling per annum, allocations will be ongoing - even though this is now part of the core range. 46% Alc./Vol. * All Kilkerran whiskies now arrive without presentation tubes or boxes.

The whisky is then expertly combined by their Master Blender, creating a smooth Speyside drop, full of fruit, toasted oak spice, and luscious sweetness. A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage, dating from 1898, when founder John Duff built his distillery.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Double Oak 700mL has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. Representing The Glenlivet’s signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it’s distinctive smoothness.

The GlenAllachie Distillery was designed in 1967 by William-Delme Evans and built by Mackinlay McPherson. This was the fourth distillery designed by Evans and was created to be almost full gravity fed to run on reduced energy. The first production run for the distillery was in February 1968 and began with just two stills, further increasing to four after just six months. Bottled at 48%, this golden malt was first matured in the finest American Barrels with an additional maturation period in Organic Rye Quarter Casks from Chicago’s Koval Distillery. The wood to liquid ratio in these second-fill casks is greater, meaning the signature Rye spiciness has a greater impact on the spirit. Rich Gold in colour with rich cinnamon and nutmeg spices and waves of honey and butterscotch on the nose lead to flavours of sweet roasted spices enriched with honey, butterscotch, cooking apples and cloves.

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old is a honeyed, indulgent and rounded single malt, its character defined by the un mistable prominence of the American Oak style. A beautiful partnership, as sunshine and rain create a spectacular rainbow, so the pairing of sherry seasoned European and American oak casks combine in a perfect harmony of flavours and natural colour. The delicate flavour of American oak - vanilla, citrus and light oak - takes centre stage as the traditional Macallan character of rich fruit, sherry and wood spice affords a familiar backdrop. It is this partnership that reveals an unmatched investment in time and extraordinary commitment to mastery for which the Macallan has been known since 1824. The Macallan brings new oak from America across thousands of miles to Spain, where casks are crafted and sherry seasoned before travelling to our distillery in Speyside. Here they are filled with the new make spirit and left to mature for twelve years. These whiskies are then harmoniously united with those aged in exceptional sherry seasoned European oak casks. Colour of Harvest Sun, the Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old shows off an aroma of creamy butterscotch with a hint of toffee apple, candied orange, vanilla custard and newly felled oak. On the palate, one will enjoy honeyed wood spices and citrus, balanced with raisins and carmel. A warm, sweet and drying lingering oak finish rounds this beautiful scotch out.
