A 2001 vintage rum Agricole from producer St James in Martinique. Made with freshly-pressed sugar cane juice, this rum has been matured in a combination of American oak and French Limousin oak casks, creating notes of tropical fruit, sweet cane, pressed flowers, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger.

The Speyside distillery is one of the most southerly in the 'Speyside triangle', located near the town of Kingussie. Distilled back in 1998, this bottling represents a relatively early effort as production only commenced in 1990 (33 years after the initial building plans were submitted!) According to the Laings, anticipate tangerines on the nose with butter pastry and lots of toasted almonds followed by zesty citrus fruits at the finish. Drawn from a refill sherry butt (DL13295) with an outturn of 256 bottles. 61.3% Alc.Vol. Non chill filtered.

The Confrérie du Rhum pays tribute to the traditional skills of the Saint James distillery, selecting this very rare 2003 cask strength rum.

Seven years older that Diageo's 2018 Special Releases Talisker, this is a big, sooty, earthy single malt, with lashings of ripe citrus and treacle sponge, and heaps of warming spice. Plenty of heft and darkness to be found here, alongside classic, coastal Talisker character for purists to revel in.

The Tomatin 12 Year Old is classically smooth, having been matured in traditional Scotch Whisky, ex-Bourbon and ex-Spanish Sherry casks. Aromas of wild heather, pine and cedar soon sweeten to reveal notes of cr?me caramel with apples, pears and mango before a full bodied and buttery finish

Domaine William Fevre has led the Chablis revival over the past decade with its refined, full bodied, dry white wines, all 100% Chardonnay, of course, as this appellation is devoted entirely and solely to this great white grape variety.

What the critics say 

?A cool, restrained and airy nose grudgingly divulges its combination of lemon rind, green apple, quinine and acacia blossom scents. There is again excellent volume and concentration to the powerful and muscular flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively complex and hugely long finish. This is classic Les Clos in that it manages to be at once big and overtly powerful while remaining refined and classy. This is, in a word, terrific.?
Burghound 94 to 96 points

Myer?s Original Dark Rum is a blend of up to nine different rums of various ages, all of which are distilled using Jamaica's typical production method: pot-stills. The Original Dark Rum is slightly unique in Jamaica however, because some of the molasses used earlier in the process is added back in after distillation. Myers rum has been produced since 1879 and named after its founder, Fred Myers.

The best-selling whiskey in the Republic of Ireland, Power's Gold Label has a spicy potstill character and is aged between 5 and 6 years in Bourbon casks

43.2% ABV

This 14 year old has been bottled at a higher strength to previous Tomintoul releases. This has helped bring out more of the flavour, and the character of the dram. 

Tasting Note 

Nose: Gentle, very subtle. Warm pastries, apple blossom, hints of toffee, citrus, gentle fruit. 

Palate: Vanilla, creamy, more blossom, barley. 

Finish: Good length, spices.

A sherried single malt from Tomintoul, specially designed to be paired with cigars! A no-age-statement Speysider, which has been matured in Oloroso sherry casks, sourced from Andalucia. We reckon it'll taste just as good on its own, with all of its chocolate and bramble fruit notes.

Nose: Maple loaf cake, cinnamon and a whiff of smoke, with spiced raisin cookies.

Palate: Another wave of smoke followed by peppery oak, blackberry jam and chocolate spread on toast.

Finish: Buttery oak and roasted coffee bean.

The classic 12 year old blend from Dewars, this stuff is the successor to Dewar's "Double Aged" 12 Year Old - so named in reference to the additional six month marriage the whisky enjoys in oak after the initial maturation and blending. The practice is maintained despite the name change and the result is loads of flavour

Nose: A heady note of juicy fruit and thick, creamy malt. Rather floral, and quite sweet with notes of toasted barley, almond and a tinge of honey.

Palate: The palate is perfectly poised with notes of barley malt, hot buttered toast, a little honey, and some aniseed spiciness.

Finish: A touch of smoke on the tail, alongside plenty of thick malt and sweetness.

Famous Grouse Bourbon Cask was the inaugural launch within the Cask Series, designed to showcase different types of oak cask and add greater depth of flavours to the standard blend. A blend of whiskies mostly aged in American Oak and first-fill bourbon casks.

Nose: Fragrant sweet honey with hints of caramel.

Palate: A delicious combo of vanilla ice-cream and toasted coconut with citrus peel.

Finish: A sweet soft oak finish.
