Nose: Sweet and fruity. Strawberries with a medicinal touch. With time nuts and more fruit - apple, mango and apricot.
Taste: Medium body and medium sweetness. Sweet and fruity cold-pressed coffee with a few cocoa nibs thrown in just for fun.
Finish: Medium to long finish. More coffee, more cocoa nibs, and above this fluffy clouds of fruit. Vanilla, caramel and honey. Honey glazed apples in the end. Towards the very end delightful cold-pressed coffee and milk chocolate.
From the distillery
Smoky whiskies are not traditionally associated with Speyside, but look back through its distilleries? archives and it?s clear that heavily peated single malts were the preferred palate of the region back in the 19th century. Both intensely smoked and exquisitely sweet, the special edition has been two-cask matured in both American virgin oak and bourbon barrels - wood types intentionally selected to amplify the toasted sweet notes in Benriach?s smoky spirit.
"Celebrating the time of year where peated spirit runs through Benriach stills, a tradition revived by the distillery over 50 years ago, Smoke Season is a small batch release which captures one of Benriach?s time-honoured production techniques. Both intensely smoked and exquisitely sweet, the special edition has been two-cask matured in both American virgin oak and bourbon barrels - wood types intentionally selected to amplify the toasted sweet notes in Benriach?s smoky spirit. With a new recipe finely tuned by Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, this expression is the most intensely smoked whisky to be released by the distillery."
Peated single malt from the closed Caperdonich Distillery, released as part of the Secret Speyside Collection. This particular expression was matured for 18 years in American oak barrels before being bottled up at 48% ABV.
Nose: Apricot and flamed orange peel, with muted smoke wafting in behind layers of toffee.
Palate: Fiery peat builds, supported by toasted brown sugar and more dried fruit.
Finish: Slightly buttery and savoury.
Convalmore is a familiar face in the Diageo Special Releases line-ups, with the 2017 outturn marking the closed distillery's fourth appearance in the series. And this superb 32 year old shows exactly why the malt has earned its place. Vibrant and complex with an impeccable balance between distillery character and oak, the liquid is from refill American oak hogsheads and is bottled at a natural cask strength of 48.2%. Only 3,972 bottles of this delight have been released.
Nose: Initial Dolly Mix with floral notes at full strength, taking it into Jelly Tot territory too. Barley sugar develops with a touch of tangerine, apple and cedar. Impressive.
Palate: Soft oak and spice with some orange and tomato stem. Adding just a little water transforms the texture of this malt, however, as well as releasing more intense herbal notes.
Finish: More gentle oak, birch sap and oatcakes. Some biscuits too, including Hobnobs.
This whisky has spent 26 years in a single Pedro Xim?nez puncheon, and packs white pepper and sherry-stewed apple in the nose. In the palate we have the sharpness of blackcurrant and raspberry, and a dose of espresso that leads into a beautifully-timed hit of sherry sweetness, balanced by dark and stewed fruits. Gentle tobacco and tannin evolve into an unctuous, warming finish.
The Glenlivet Single Cask is an exclusive tasting experience. A unique blend bottled at its natural cask strength and without chill filtration that allows it to retain the same purity it had while maturing in the cask. Aged in first fill American Oak Barrels for 16 years, there are only 180 bottles of this limited-edition whisky. Every cask holds a flavour which can never be replicated and every bottle is individually numbered.
Part of a series of single cask whiskies released to celebrate the spectacular landscape around Glenlivet, Ladderfoot is a sherry-matured 16-year-old single malt with rich notes of ginger, raisins, cinnamon, victoria plum and dark chocolate layered on top of Glenlivet?s classic orchard fruit and toffee character.
Ladderfoot takes its name from the eponymous farm situated at the bottom of the Ladder Hills. Many smugglers would have passed Ladderfoot on the ?whisky road? from the Braes o?Glenlivet to Fettercairn and the markets beyond, a long but quiet path that allowed them to deliver their illicit whisky to thirsty customers untroubled by the law.
Another bottling in Glenlivet's Single Cask Edition series - this time it was aged for 18 years in cask #96421 and bottled in January 2016 with an outturn of 660 bottles. This edition has been given the title 'Allargue'. Perhaps named after the nearby Allargue Estate.
Nose: Soft but oak-y barley, with notes of vanilla tablet and cinnamon sticks.
Palate: Nuttier on the palate - think oily walnuts and sugared almonds. Vanilla and cinnamon remain at the fore.
Finish: Lightly floral.
Matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and Sherry casks and bottled at natural strength.
"The Cask Strength Edition is our most vivacious expression, yet still retains Tomatin’s characteristically rich and sweet undertones. Matured in a classic combination of first fill ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso Sherry casks, aromas of golden syrup and ginger biscuits prevail while flavours of malt loaf and marzipan lead to a dry, lingering spicy finish."
Manzanilla is much like Fino sherry, which is produced by the sea where the conditions are even more suitable for the growing of flor. Though the maturation is the same as for the Kavalan Fino, the texture is lighter and more delicate with a touch of saltiness together with mineral flavours, which are all the consequences of a stable and thick layer of flor, sea breezes and brine.
Martine and Jean Donnay established the "Celtic Whisky Compagnie" in 1997 and began distilling in 1999 with Glann ar Mor's first bottling of unpeated single malt hitting the market in late 2008.
By November 2009, a peated malt was released (30-35 ppm) under the Kornog label, meaning "West Wind" in Breton. The distillery is located on a seafront, hence the name, which translates "At the edge of the sea".
The packaging further emphasises the locale, featuring a graphic of the H?aux de Br?hat lighthouse. This is a traditional operation that employs small stills, 100% live flame for both the spirit still and the wash still / slow distillation, wooden washbacks and seaside maturation.
Currently the whiskies are just over 3 years old, but already show surprising complexity and balance.
Matured in a bourbon cask for 3 years. Bright pale straw gold. Opens with intense aromas of lanolin / wet wool. Air contact drops the peat a notch bringing forward dried apple, cinnamon and light cocoa. Follows through with an oily, cereal, crisp malt delivery with the finish upping the richness adding cocoa-laced peat, walnut slice and lanolin carrying through to the aftertaste. Exhibits a freshness, balance and staying power that belies its youth. A whisky that's both delicious and distinctive.
A 1996 vintage Ledaig single malt Scotch whisky from Tobermory, which has been given a finishing period in Oloroso Sherry casks. Interestingly, this expression has been made using some of the first peated whisky produced at Tobermory when they started distilling peated malt in 1996!
Peat-dried malted barley is married with naturally peat infused water from the distillery's private water source, a dark aromatic lochan, high in the mountains above the village of Tobermory. Matured in superior Oloroso sherry casks the result is a wonderfully peated single malt with an intense smoky flavorsome character.
The soft gold color of this Ledaig 1996 glistens before you. The nose is rich with fragant smoke, toffee caramel, apple with a hint of mint and a few citrus notes. A wave of crackling peat sets off rich flavor explosions on the palate, black pepper then bursts followed by a light sherry sweetness. The finish is smooth with a spicy salty tail, which disappears into the dark as the peaty embers glow into a smoky finale.
