This whisky has a final maturation in oloroso sherry butts


The Tomatin 18 Year Old is a truly luxurious world class malt. Matured in traditional oak casks and first fill Oloroso Sherry butts, dried apricot, nougat and distinctive nutty flavours develop into bursts of tropical fruit with mellow undertones and a rich, full bodied finish.

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."

Tomatin's 14 Year Old has been finished in tawny-port pipes, which adds notes of extra fruitiness, especially red fruits to the classic Highland notes of toffee and honey.

Quietly assured and extra-mature, this is a whisky that opens slowly with real finesse to reveal an exquisite structure. rich in body, yet still full of delicate Cardhu character. The freshness of the nose, with its cleansing fruit, is a foil to the rich treat in store as the palate delivers all the comforting, melting richness of a fruity liqueur chocolate truffle and a complex, rich, sweet, spicy finish to match.

Nose: Macerated fruits; pears, plums, cherries. Hints of pineapple develop a light, green, gooseberry-like edge. 

Palate: A smooth and sweet taste, yet with light and lively acidity. Soft, delicate, fruity core with rich, chocolate-edged flavours. Warming overall.

Finish: Exciting and complex, the conclusion is long, smooth, gently drying and rich in cocoa.

This 2023 release from Ardnamurchan combines peated and unpeated spirit matured in ex-bourbon and ex-rum casks. A lovely balance of peat and sweet tropical flavours - mango, spice and subtle vanilla thanks to the American oak

From the distillery...

Ardnamurchan Rum Cask ramps up our earthy, oily house profile with delicate grassy, funky notes. The underlying tropical richness is delightful. We think the distillery character matches beautifully with these Caribbean casks, the first time we've ever released a vatting matured in this cask type..

Distilled on 4th October 1984, this version will blow you away with its complexity, presence and generosity. The breadth and depth of this Glenlossie's palette of aromas and flavours are quite simply extraordinary.

The concentrated initial nose is roasted (coffee), fruity (black grape) and chocolate. Initially mineral, it gradually becomes medicinal (camphor). The elegant attack pays tribute to malted barley. The mid-palate is a real sweet treat (strawberry cream cake). The silky finish wavers between aromatic plants and autumn shades (chestnut). The retronasal olfaction is mentholated .

This bottle of Dalwhinnie is apart of Diageo's 2021 Distillers Edition. The idea behind The Distillers Edition is to provide an alternative expression of each whisky; to add richness, complexity and interest in the form of a different ?take? on that whisky?s attributes. There are seven distinctive Distillers Edition expressions (including Lagavulin, Oban, Talisker, Caol Ila, Dalwhinnie, and more), the remarkable and complex Distillers Edition process, and the people who make it. An incentive to explore The Distillers Edition itself.

Distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2021, this Dalwhinnie double-matured in ex-bodega Oloroso cask wood for a rich sweetness and spicy complexity to enhance the heathery, honeyed aromas and tastes of the regular release.

An exciting new limited edition release from the Ardnamurchan distillery sees their peated and unpeated whisky matured in a medley of ex-sherry casks. The reddish, mahogany colour shows the woods influence, offering up both sweet and savoury tones with flavours of salted peanut brittle, sticky spare ribs and rich raisin slice. A complex and gentle coastal peat smoke pokes through at times, with notes reminiscent of old fireplaces and sea-side tarry rope.

This new blend from Adelphi takes its name from long-time collaborator and whisky legend Charles Maclean (MBE), and by pure coincidence, a rocky landmark known as 'Maclean's nose' near the Ardnamurchan distillery. This is an old-fashioned style of blend - a very high proportion of single malt is used (70%) predominantly from the west coast of Scotland, giving this whisky a flavour of burnt citrus peel, sea salt toffee and bonfires by the beach.

Highland Park 21 Year Old has been matured in a combination of first-fill European oak sherry casks, first-fill American oak sherry casks and a handful of refill casks. The palate offers notes of ripe mango, sun-dried orange peel, sweet pear, fresh ginger, nutmeg, vanilla and aromatic peat smoke.

Created exclusively for travellers, our spicy and deep Elementa celebrates our skills in wood finishing, an art which brings new depths of flavour to our whisky.

First we mature our signature spirit in American oak bourbon casks to create smoothness and fruity notes. We then finish this single malt in the finest new charred oak casks, bringing forth a 14-year-old whisky of woody depth and intense spice, available exclusively in travel retail.

Nose: Spiced toffee bursts forth with scents of fresh grass, milk chocolate and deep layers of vanilla. Then deep, woody notes emerge with hints of clove and orange.

Palate: An intensely spicy mouthfeel brings a surge of dark ginger chocolate and fondant cream, with more clove, ginger and baked peaches.

Finish: A delicious balance of sweetness and spice, with a lingering suggestion of cumin.
