Product Description: Three casks, two decades, one remarkably rich Glenlivet. The Glenlivet 21 Year Old from The Sample Room Collection is a masterstroke of maturation. This refined single malt is triple cask finished—first-fill Oloroso Sherry, Tronçais Oak Cognac, and Colheita Vintage Port—bringing new depth to the distillery’s signature smooth and fruit-forward style. Each cask type lends its own influence: sherry for richness, Cognac for spice, and Port for plush fruit and sweetness. After decades in traditional oak, the whisky is finished in these rare barrels to layer complexity without overwhelming finesse. The result is all Glenlivet polish with added intrigue: caramelised pear and sultana on the nose, followed by dried apricots, chocolate-coated ginger and spiced warmth on the palate. It’s seamless, complex, and deserving of its age statement. One for the serious malt drinker or a special gift, this is Glenlivet elevated. Tasting Notes NOSE – Spiced and fruity Caramelised pears, juicy peaches and warm cinnamon with nutmeg. PALATE – Rich and layered Apricots, sultanas and ginger dipped in dark chocolate. FINISH – Warming and long Lingering spice and a velvety sweetness from the triple cask finish.

Product Description: Peat softened by oak, smoke edged with sweetness. Laphroaig Oak Select Cask Collection is crafted as an approachable way into the distillery’s famously uncompromising style. It draws from whiskies matured in Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez hogsheads, ex-bourbon barrels, and quarter casks, before being finished in rare virgin American oak. This layering of cask influence tempers the powerful maritime smoke with ripe fruit, spice, and gentle vanilla, creating a whisky that remains distinctly Islay yet with an openness that invites exploration. The whisky carries the unmistakable Laphroaig character—iodine-rich peat, sea spray, and briny depth—but framed by softened sweetness and a floral lift. For those beginning their journey with Islay malts, or seasoned drinkers seeking a more supple side of Laphroaig, Oak Select offers a thoughtful balance between rugged tradition and contemporary accessibility. Tasting Notes NOSE – Peat and fruit Forward smoke interlaced with ripe red fruits, citrus, honey, and a trace of vanilla. PALATE – Sweet then smoky Begins with a soft sweetness before rolling into peat smoke, ash, seaweed, and touches of toffee and oak spice. FINISH – Lingering and floral Long, with notes of marzipan and lime, a gentle floral edge, and persistent coastal smoke.

"Unquestionably one of the great malts of the year...in spite of itself". - Jim Murray Tasting note: Deep gold / brass. Muted at first; builds with a PX top note almost overwhelming the expected distillery aromas; if only momentarily. Brandy soaked raisins and dark chocolate amid flashes of sweet peat and pepper. Three to four minutes exposure draws out smouldering cedar, cigar box and hints of elastoplast, accenting fruit cake in later inspections. Terrific balance in the sweet, smokey-malt mid palate; vanilla and Christmas cake add richness to the finish. Concludes prolonged and lozenge-like with Laphroaig's trademark medicinal edge and pepperiness breaking through late, finally checked by the sherry. Big PX influence here but deftly handled - think of it as drunken Christmas pudding, Islay-style . 48% Alc./Vol. Normally travel retail exclusive. Extremely limited stocks.

Whilst many Australian whisky enthusiasts are familiar with the traditional sherried bottlings from Aberlour distillery, many parts of Europe are privy to its more curious variants which combine whiskies derived from both sherry and bourbon casks, varying in proportion. We have sourced a small quantity of these relatively unknown expressions just to showcase what this distillery capable of.

Showcasing the more rugged side of Glenglassaugh, this smoky expression offers a satisfying combination of sweet peat and umami. Sherry and port wine casks bring notes of treacle, dark chocolate and spice, while savoury undertones bring to mind beach barbecues and coastal breeze.

Inspired by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay, Glenglassaugh Sandend is matured in bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks for luscious waves of flavor.

Lush, tropical and coastal sums up the balance of Glenglassaugh's signature style, a profile captured in the newly presented twelve year old. Matured in bourbon, sherry and red wine casks. 45% Alc./Vol. Notes from the producers... Luminous gold in colour with aromas like sweet coastal waves of ripe apricot and fig meld with toasted vanilla and tropical flora, carried on a warm ocean breeze. On the palate is candied pistachio, date and sweet fig roll into waves of morello cherry and whipped cream, infused with fresh coastal air.

"Glenmorangie at its very best." - whiskyadvocate.com The raw materials used to create this whisky are quite unusual and include estate grown Cadboll malt along with chocolate malt (chocolate malt is usually used in the production of beers like porter and stout). The whisky has been matured in new, low toast, Ozark American oak casks and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. It is the brainchild of Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie's head distiller who first had the idea over 20 years ago. Retasted June 2017... Brilliant topaz / beams from the glass. Almost floral notes of cocoa and manuka honey drizzled over hints of orange spice cake and shortbread. Starts understated and fresh but finishes unlike almost any other whisky: A peacock's tail of fantastic length and force with miniature detonations of orange zest, dark chocolate, hazelnut and sweet spice dappling the tongue. The persistence is quite exceptional. Maintains its place as a high point in the Glenmorangie stable. Non chill filtered. 46% Alc./Vol. First tasted 2008... Deep orange brown colour with golden hue. Sweet and inviting nose of Mixed Peel, Chocolate, Coffee beans and Almond biscuit. The palate is thick, luscious and mouthfilling, almost creamy. Pronounced flavours of chocolate, coconut, orange, vanilla and hazelnut. The palate shows no sign of spirit heat, even without the addition of water. Outstanding balance. Exceptionally long, supple aftertaste of chocolate, vanilla, almond and hazelnut. Hints of orange emerge then fade. Drink with chocolate or dried fruit desserts, coffee or a cigar. A phenomenal, if unusual whisky. 97 points

Another Ardbeg Day release arrives, bottled once and never to be repeated. This time around, it's created with roasted black malt - a first for Ardbeg. Incinerated to within an inch of its life, the malt defines the profile contributing charcoal and sweet smoke, aniseed and dark chocolate for a memorable Islay experience. Trumping past releases, Ardbeg's marketing department has gone to considerable lengths for the new edition, this time focusing on the brand’s alleged punk past, with Islay’s main port, Port Ellen, going by the nickname ‘Punk Ellen’ in the 1970s. (There was even a punk posse led by the local hotelier's daughter, which reached as many as three at the height of its notoriety). Meanwhile, Ardbeg’s head of distilling and whisky creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, describes the flavour as being “like biting on a spiky ball.” Collectors will love it, with the story and presentation being a hook for followers of the brand. The limited edition main release has landed (as opposed to the even more limited Committee Release) and as is always the case, it comes bottled at 46% and non chill filtered. The first sniffs bring young distillate to the fore, so from a fresh bottle give this a good ten minutes and you'll get a moderate lift of menthol-infused peat that also hints at anise, fennel and rye bread receding into sweeter smoke and vanilla malt with further air contact. It's medium bodied and sweetly peaty (think Caol Ila); hints of Elastoplast mingle with chocolate sponge cake and sprinklings of pepper; the finish is ashy and warming with citrus tang lacing late malt sweetness. Overall, in spite of the presentation and marketing, this is much more civilised and approachable than you might expect. Notes from the producers... Spicy and savoury, Ardcore grips the senses with waves of marmite, burnt toast, chicory charcoal and infused coffee grounds making for a mosh pit in the glass. Like a safety pin through the septum, a classic Ardbeg herbal top note is present, while swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses loiter backstage. TASTE: A jaw dropping spicy and fiery mouthfeel leads to an explosion of rich, smoky flavours – cocoa powder, dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers all pogo in unison on the palate. Amped up aniseed and malty biscuit elbow their way to the fore, punkturing taste buds. FINISH: In an altogether sweeter finish, long, lingering notes of treacle toffee, soot and smoke make for an anarchic, but delicious, aftertaste.
