Dewar Rattray Bowmore 17 Year
$148.49
Bruichladdich Legacy VI
$357.74
Three different vintages have come together to create this bottling, a vatting of casks from: 1965, 1970 and 1972. The bottle and tin are decorated with a reproduction of Frances MacDonald's painting, "Evening Surf, Kintyre". On the palate the whisky is very creamy, with vanilla, banana, apricot and creme caramel. As the flavours evolve marzipan, maple syrup, almonds, cinnamon and butter scotch appear. Pear and mint arrive late in the finish.
Arran Malt Fino Sherry Finish
$71.54
Arran is the only distillery on the Isle of Arran. Established in 1993, it laid down its first stocks of spirit in 1995. Although its whiskies are young Arran has developed a strong reputation for quality. Nose: Fresh and pungent with almond, vanilla and spice-box notes emerging. Taste: The initial rush of sweetness gives way to a crisp and deliciously dry character. Briny in style with a hint of west coast sea-salt. Finish: Complex, nutty aftertaste with good balance.
Glenrothes 1979
$179.99
This distillery, established in 1878, is one of five in the Speyside town of Rothes. Long been prized by blenders (namely Cutty Sark), this quietly noble whisky is now more widely appreciated as a single malt. Interestingly, in 1922, the distillery experienced a disastrous fire in which 2500 casks of spirit were lost. An elegant, dark amber hued malt with notes of dried fruit and toffee.
Bruichladdich 1973
$224.99
The whisky in this rare "Laddie" was specially selected by Master Distiller Jim McEwan to be released as a vintage malt. Limited to 4200 bottles this exceptional selection is caramel free and un-chill filtered. It was matured in a mixture of first fill bourbon casks and refill sherry casks. Nose: sweet fruit and vanilla. Palate: vanilla, stewed fruit and gingerbread. Finish: long and warming.
Springbank 15 Year
$125.99
AVAILABLE BY BALLOT
Springbank 15 Year has long been the distillery's most important core whisky. The sherry notes are the most dominant, though there is plenty of complexity, with enough salt, smoke and toffee to go around. Matured in a mix Sherry & Bourbon casks, and bottled at 46%. It can varry considerably from batch to batch!
Adelphi Lochside 1965
$359.99
Springbank 16 Year Rum Finish
$121.49
Springbank distillery which was founded in Campbeltown in 1828, is Scotland's oldest family owned distillery. For me this whisky is all about toffee. It's like savouring a mouthful of highland toffee while sitting next to a beach fire! This is a creamy, sweet, slightly smoky bottling of Springbank.
Ileach Single Malt
$48.59
Bottled and distributed by the independent Vintage Malt Whisky Company, this islay single malt really packs a punch. Bottled at 40%abv, the peat is what stands out in this big, bold and intense whisky. With only limited oak to offer complexity, this is a big malt with overwhelming intensity. Herbal fruitiness and bitterness, with some pepper. 94 pts Jim Muray "Fabulous stuff, a bottle of which should sit in every household cabinet."
