818 Tequila is a brand that prides itself on working closely with local, family-owned farms in Jalisco, Mexico to deliver the smoothest most natural and best-tasting tequila possible. With a commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients, 818 Tequila ensures that every bottle embodies the essence of craftsmanship and authenticity. The ethos of 818 Tequila goes beyond just creating exceptional spirits. The brand recognizes the importance of sustainability and transparency throughout its supply chain. Taking inspiration from the area code 818, which represents their home, they also acknowledge that the earth is home to all of us. With this in mind, 818 Tequila places great emphasis on sourcing their agaves responsibly and ensuring the production process is environmentally friendly. The journey of 818 Tequila begins with the skilled jimadores, local agave farmers from the Tequila region. These experts identify the optimal conditions for growing agaves in the Los Valles region, patiently waiting for at least 7 years until the agaves reach peak maturity. Once harvested, the agaves undergo a slow cooking process that lasts for over 30 hours. Large stone Tahonas, weighing 800 kilograms each, are then utilized to crush the cooked agaves. This age-old technique allows for the extraction and collection of the juice, preserving the authenticity and tradition of tequila production. The extracted juice, known as "mosto," then goes through a natural fermentation process. Unique wood and stainless steel tanks are utilized, and the fermentation is enriched by using leftover agave fibers from the tahonas. Native yeast is added to enhance the aromatic expression, resulting in a deeper and more nuanced flavor profile. The tequila is distilled in hand-built copper alembic pot stills of the highest quality. It undergoes a double distillation process, carefully monitoring the alcohol volume to achieve the desired smoothness that 818 Tequila is known for. To further enhance the character of the tequila, it is aged in superior oak barrels. The Reposado and Añejo expressions are aged in both American and French oak, allowing for a harmonious fusion of flavors. Expert blending techniques ensure that each bottle of 818 Tequila embodies the iconic taste that the brand is celebrated for - smooth, versatile and sippable. 818 Tequila Añejo 700ml is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the brand. Aged for over 1 year in oak barrels, this añejo expression offers a truly exceptional tasting experience. On the palate, 818 Tequila Añejo delights with flavours of vanilla, sweet agave and crisp herbal notes. This combination creates a harmonious and balanced taste profile that showcases the craftsmanship of 818 Tequila. The light amber colour of this añejo tequila, with shiny golden reflections and bronze hues, captivates the eye. Its full body adds depth and richness to the overall drinking experience, enhancing the enjoyment of each sip. The aroma of 818 Tequila Añejo is a delightful blend of caramel, toasted nuts, orange peel, chocolate and toffee. These aromatic notes create a sensory journey that prepares the senses for the flavors to come. The finish of this añejo tequila is very long, silk-like and rich. It leaves a full-bodied impression on the palate, with a lingering richness that adds to the overall experience. The notes of caramel, toasted nuts and toffee add depth and complexity, creating a truly satisfying conclusion. What makes 818 Tequila Añejo special is its aging process of over 1 year in oak barrels. This extended resting period allows the tequila to develop its distinct character, enhancing the flavors and creating a smooth and refined drinking experience.

Product Information: A departure from their typically lightly peated single malt, the Heavily Peated Kilkerran is released twice per year at cask strength and around 45PPM. Matured in 90% Bourbon casks and 10% sherry cask. The dram opens with enticing notes of candy floss and crème brulée. Flavourwise, the peat smoke is soft and sweet, with toasted marshmallows typical of the Kilkerran Heavily Peated range. Hints of gooseberries and violets confectionary develop over time. The finish lingers, sweet with an orange peel lift. Kilkerran pride themselves on completing all parts of the whisky production process on site giving them unrivalled control over the quality of the whisky. From the traditional floor maltings conducted at their sister distillery, Springbank, to the bottling of every edition at their bottling hall in Campbeltown. Sharing a production team and calendar with the neighbouring Springbank Distillery, Glengyle has a short production period of around three months per year, typically operational from October – December. This means Kilkerran is among the most handmade in Scotland. Item does not come with external tube. Producer Note: “It is our intention to reduce the amount of packaging we use across our group of companies, from Springbank and Kilkerran to William Cadenhead Ltd, and that any we do use is produced and procured as sustainably as possible." Maker: A historic Campbeltown distillery reimagined in the 21st century, Glengyle Distillery was originally founded by William Mitchell, who had previously run Springbank Distillery with his brother John, under the direction of their father and founder of Springbank, Archibald Mitchell. A dispute between the two brothers, William and John, led the former to leave and start his own venture, Glengyle Distillery, in 1872. In 1919, Glengyle was sold to West Highland Malt Distilleries Ltd after suffering, as many distilleries did, from the economic downturn of the early 20th century. Production then completely ceased in 1925. Over the decades-long closure of the distillery, the buildings continued to be used by local clubs and companies and so the Glengyle buildings remained reasonably well-maintained compared to many other closed distilleries in Campbeltown. In the year 2000, the distillery was purchased by Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd, headed by Hedley G Wright, then chairman of J&A Mitchell and great, great nephew of the original founder of Glengyle, William Mitchell. After his passing in 2023, Mr Wright’s shares in the company were transferred to three local trust funds to ensure that the community would continue to benefit from the company after his passing. Distillery: The Campbelltown region is located on the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland's south-west, and was once home to over 30 malt whisky distilleries. One of Scotland’s five whiskey regions (one of our favourites) Campbelltown was a bustling fishing village and dubbed ‘whisky capital of the world’ for good reason, in times past the sails of vessels could be seen billowing in Campbeltown Loch, while rippling smoke from the chimneys of distilleries filled the sky. Looking back, Campbeltown is unequivocally as big a part of the history of whisky as the famous drink itself. Used as a smuggling centre for the most part of the 17th and 18th century, where many a bottle of Scotland’s famous liquid was distilled illegally. Once home to over 30 distilleries, Campbeltown gained a reputation for delivering top shelf whisky in the 19th century, something that saw an increased demand from blenders. Much of Campbeltown’s whisky heritage is owed to its location – easy access by boat and being just a whisker away from Ireland. Today only three remain, Glen Scotia, Springbank and Glengyle. Of the three Springbank and Glengyle both play pivotal roles in the production of Kilkerran. From the traditional floor maltings conducted at Kilkerran's sister distillery, Springbank, to the distillation and bottling of every edition at Glengyle. Stylistically Kilkerran today is a far cry from the more heavily peated style of the original Glengyle distillery. Regardless it is in many ways a classic Campbelltown, high drinkable with complex maritime notes, light salt and delicate peat that tends towards more earthy aromas. Nose - Icing Sugar, Crème Brulée, Custard A sweet introduction, there are notes of icing sugar, crème Brulée and custard. Palate - Sweet Peat Smoke, Toasted Marshmallows, Buttered Biscuits Notes of buttered digestive biscuits and custard creams. Hints of gooseberries and candied violets develop over time. Finish - Gooseberry, Violets, Orange Pulp In the finish the sweetness lingers, with notes of orange pulp and zest. The peat is prominent in the finish, orange pulp round off this dram.

Apart from Single Malts, Suntory also produces a premium series of blended whiskies under the label 'Hibiki' (meaning 'harmony'), usually containing a high proportion of Single Malt (upwards of 50% according to one of the company's blenders). Thirty different malts are employed from Suntory's three distilleries, most with an age well above 21 years. Hibiki 21 Year Old was, yet again, selected as the best-blended whisky in the world at the World Whisky Awards 2017. Hibiki has been awarded every year at the WWA since 2009. The judges described it as being Elegant, sweet and complex. This whisky is full of dried fruit, orange peel, strawberry jam, and baked apple from start to finish. Smooth, subtle and fairly short. Obvious collector appeal here, but we'd like to imagine this one being appreciated for what's inside the bottle. 43% Alc./Vol.
