Single Malt Whisky

Thanks to years of closure over the past century, Glenglassaugh is a distillery with two types of whisky: very young or very old. This is one of the latter drams, bottled as part of the third batch of single casks released by the distillery. Matured in a cask that previously contained Massandra – a Crimean fortified wine, similar to sherry – and bottled in November 2016, it's a rich and dark dram, packed with dried fruit notes.

The second batch of Glenglassaugh Octaves Classic features a more sherried profile than the first batch - something you might be familiar with when it comes to Glenglassaugh whiskies. The one was matured in octave casks made with wood from bourbon, Pedro Xim?nez and Amontillado casks, imparting huge helpings of dried fruit and vanilla notes to the single malt.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Earthy vanilla arrives first, but soon enough you'll find notes of dried cranberries and thick treacle.

Palate: Chocolate, salted caramel and hints of red chilli flakes. A backbone of barley helps it along.

Finish: Damson jam and toasted teacakes (with butter).

The sweet earthiness of our coastal peated spirit is brought to life in Peated Virgin Oak Wood Finish. During finishing in American Virgin Oak casks, Glenglassaugh is shaped by intense notes of candy and fresh spice, as if a sweet shop by the beach, spiced by land and sea. Bottled at 46% with natural colour and is non chill filtered.

Colour: Antique gold.

Nose: Creamy vanilla with toasted oak spice flows over candy store confectionery and crisp freshly peated barley.

Palate: Crisp oak and hints of candied ginger, boiled sweets and brittle toffee, all surrounded by the most deliciously sweet peat smoke.

Sourced from reputable independents, Signatory Vintage, cask #900658 was a first-fill Sherry butt and a fairly active cask at that, with more of an old-school attack then a clean, contemporary one. Pickled ginger, struck match, burnt orange, hazelnut and hints of hessian sack give the aroma a sulphury slant, though there's some redemption from the latent fruitiness. The flavours follow with roasted hazelnut, marzipan, ginger biscuit and orange infused dark chocolate - those 'rustic' notes adding a burnt fruit toast character to the finish

The Glenlivet - This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: ?A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world ? deservedly so.? Representing The Glenlivet?s signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it?s distinctive smoothness. The mineral-rich water that comes from Josie?s Well helps form the flavours during mashing and fermentation, whilst the specific height and width of the copper stills add a delicate yet complex character. Keep a bottle on hand for every occasion.

Nadurra, meaning "natural" in Gaelic, is The Glenlivet’s range of small-batch expressions made using traditional 19th-century techniques. The Nadurra First Fill is drawn from casks made of American white oak which have never before been used to mature Scotch whisky. These oak casks, which distillers at The Glenlivet have favoured since the early 1900s, impart hints of creamy vanilla to this wonderfully rich single malt. You’ll really taste the effects of that white oak, beautifully complemented by sweet pear, tropical pineapple, ripe banana and citric sparkle. This is a cask-strength single malt that represents the skill of our team and the tradition of The Glenlivet. And unlike most modern whiskies, this one is non-chill filtered, so it’s very richly textured. It’s an expression that will appeal to the intrepid whisky lover.

A Rich, intense whisky with honeyed sweetness thanks to a high proportion of first-fill American white oak casks, traditional casks and ex-sherry casks. Luxurious, velvety, juicy pears and honey on the palate lead to a complex balanced finish.

Rarely seen as a single malt, the Glenlossie distillery is a large contributor to the Diageo blends. The distillery has shared the same site with the Mannochmore distillery 1971 and is famous for its clean and sweet malt thanks to the use of a purifier pipes on the spirit stills which carry any heavier alcohols which have refluxed out in the lyne arm back into the body of the still to be redistilled.

This bottling has been matured in re-charred Bourbon barrels and is light and fruity through and through. The nose is vibrant and refreshing with notes of zesty citrus, moving to sweet raisins covered in chocolate. The sweetness piles on the palate with creamy vanilla custard and marzipan. Finally, delicate creme brulee light pear drops and lemon fondant send this lovely light dram on its way.
