This is the “malt” you want to bring home to meet the family. The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky sets the benchmark for 15-year-old Speyside malts, if not the 15-year-old classification worldwide. This 15 year old expression from The Glenlivet, was matured in French Limousin Oak casks. Limousin Oak is a popular choice for maturation of Cognac and delivers a nose which is rich and oaked. On the palate this whisky opens up fudge and Madeira with apple crumble and Calvados. The finish is long and dry with a peppery note. This is a very sophisticated release from The Glenlivet with the Cognac influence being evident.

It also lands with a slightly higher ABV. Expect big flavours of pepper and peat in equal measure. 59.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Very limited stocks. * All Kilkerran whiskies now arrive without presentation tubes or boxes.

The Glenlivet 18 Year Old has won more awards than any other expression; every bottle is a true example of the quality and taste of The Glenlivet and deserves pride of place in your cabinet… perhaps to be held back for a fitting occasion? It is, after all, crafted to impress. Flavour: Ripe citrus, winter spice. Nose: Rich fruit, toffee

Chivas Regal has a rich history dating back to 1801, when John Forrest established a grocery and wine merchants in Aberdeen. The company was later joined by James Chivas in 1838, and Chivas Regal was first introduced as a 25-year-old luxury blend in 1909, becoming a firm favorite in the USA. The Chivas journey began with the founders, John and James Chivas, who were born on a farm in the rural Scottish Highlands. Despite the expectation to go into the family farming business, the brothers had bigger ambitions and moved to the city of Aberdeen to create something bigger. They eventually took over the Emporium, where they began blending whisky in the cellar, setting the standard as pioneers in the art of blending whisky. Chivas Regal has been integral to the growth of Scotch whisky worldwide by bringing together the best malt and grain whiskies to create something extraordinary. The brand has reached more than 100 countries across the globe, making it a global success. In 1843, Chivas Regal received its first Royal Warrant after serving Queen Victoria at her Balmoral countryside retreat, solidifying its association with regality. Fast forward to 1909, Master Blender Charles Howard and Alexander Smith created a 25-year-old blend that became the world's first luxury whisky, enchanting New York and becoming a staple in high society. Chivas Regal is made at the Strathisla distillery in Speyside, which is the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands. The distillery's single malt whisky flows through every bottle of Chivas Regal, contributing to its signature smooth flavour Whisky is much more than a beverage; it is a craft that requires precision, patience, and unwavering dedication. Chivas Regal, an esteemed Scotch whisky, exemplifies this philosophy through its meticulous production process, spanning from the golden hills of Speyside to the iconic Chivas bottle. The journey begins with the barley, carefully nurtured in the ideal climate of Speyside. After the crucial summer months, the golden barley is harvested and taken to the maltings, where it undergoes soaking to initiate the conversion of starch to sugar. This process is crucial to the creation of Chivas Regal's exceptional flavour profile. At the Strathisla distillery, the barley is ground into "grist" and combined with pure spring water from the nearby Broomhill Spring. The meticulous addition of water at different temperatures in the mash tun creates a sweet liquid known as "wort," which forms the foundation for the whisky-making process. The distillery's commitment to sustainability is evident in the recycling of leftover grist and the efficient use of warm waters, maximizing the distillery's sustainability. The fermentation process in traditional wooden washbacks marks the birth of Chivas Regal's iconic orchard fruit flavors. These flavours are carefully nurtured through steady fermentation, protected from seasonal fluctuations by the insulating properties of wood. The distillation process further refines the whisky, with the use of copper stills ensuring that only the finest flavours are preserved. The short necks of the stills allow for the creation of the full-bodied and generous flavors that define Strathisla distillery's legacy. The heart of the whisky, containing alcohol between 65-70%, is then matured in casks until it reaches its full potential. This maturation process is where the magic of blending and selective cask finishes begins, under the skilled guidance of Chivas Regal Master Blender Sandy Hyslop. The art of blending, coupled with the influence of cask maturation, results in the complex and diverse range of Chivas Regal whiskies. Sustainability and responsibility are ingrained in Chivas Regal's ethos, from supporting local communities to prioritizing more sustainable packaging. The recent redesign of Chivas 12 bottle reflects this commitment, with a focus on reducing the environmental impact of packaging and preserving nature's resources for future generations. Chivas Regal 18 Year Old is a distinguished blend crafted from whiskies matured for a minimum of 18 years, resulting in an exceptionally special whisky. Upon the first sip, one is greeted with an extraordinary richness that unfolds into an exquisite tapestry of flavours. Aromas of buttery toffee, decadent dark chocolate and luscious dried fruit tantalize the senses, setting the stage for a truly indulgent experience. As the whisky evolves on the palate, subtle hints of spices and a delicate wisp of smoke intertwine, adding depth and complexity to the flavour profile. The journey culminates in a long, warm finish that leaves a lasting impression, inviting one to savour every lingering note. This exceptional whisky's accolades speak volumes, having been honoured with three gold medals at the esteemed San Francisco World Spirits Awards. Chivas Regal 18 Year Old is a testament to the artistry of blending and the uncompromising dedication to crafting a whisky of unparalleled quality and distinction.

Mortlach Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Special Release 2022) was matured in refill American oak, then finished in virgin Tawny port and red muscat-seasoned casks. For the whisky that arguably has the most exotic cask make-up in this line-up, not to mention its famed meaty spirit, the nose on this is relatively quiet. It takes a bit of digging to find hints of red forest fruits (currants and raspberries) and perhaps some jelly confectionery notes.

Talisker 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Special Release 2022) was matured in and blended from a mix of 1st-fill ex-bourbon casks, refill casks, and wine-seasoned casks. The nose instantly transports you across to Skye, with the smell of bitumen on the road infusing into your nostrils, together with Talisker’s signature iodine and medicinal notes. Briny maritime notes abound; there’s sea spray in the air. The nose is complex, there are also hints of tobacco leaf and saddle leather. The palate is a bit softer, rounded, and grounded in the earthy peat. It possibly lacks for sweetness – the wine casks have made it a bit drier and more savoury than the sweet and punchy 8yo Taliskers that featured in the 2020 and 2021 Special Releases.

The Singleton of Glendullan 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Special Release 2022) was matured in refill American and European oak, then finished in ex-wine casks. The nose on this is soft, delicate, and complex. Given time and patience, it grows and expands into a kaleidoscope of aromas that are as diverse as they are many. Grassy, floral, fruity, malty, sweet, and even a touch of oak – it’s all here. And that’s just the nose! On the palate, the whisky has that classic highland Glen Ord austerity, with the wine cask influence introducing some drying tannins and fruitiness.
