"Our smooth and vibrant single malt and one-third of our Signature Range. Using unpeated malted barley, this whisky has been distilled three times to provide a silk smoothness and a bright, delicate, flavour profile. This whisky has been matured in both bourbon casks and a small about of virgin oak casks, which are married together before bottling. The result is a whisky with an orchard fruit-forward flavour profile, boasting notes of sweet vanilla, apple, pear, peaches, with delicate floral undertones."
Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2
$279.99
The Octomore 16.2 was made from the same parcel of malt as 16.1, peated to 101.4ppm, but differs in its maturation: "Oloroso and Bordeaux casks, recasked into Madeira and Moscatel for final year of maturation." 2019 vintage, 5 years of age, and 58.1% ABV.
Producer Description
"Using the same batch of Scottish barley malted to the same 101.4ppm, the 16.2 has been housed in a fine selection of Oloroso and Bordeaux casks before being finished in Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel for a rich and complex flavour. Caramelised sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits abound, enveloped in sweet campfire smoke.
"Octomore 16.2 is a captivating exploration of contrasting elements. The powerful peat smoke finds a perfect counterpoint in the rich, nuanced sweetness derived from the finishing casks. The result is a multilayered and deeply satisfying dram, showcasing both elegance and robust character. This is a whisky that demands attention and rewards patience, revealing its intricacies with each sip."

Glengoyne White Oak Single Malt

48% ABV
Producer Description
"A first for Glengoyne, this brand new expression is matured exclusively in First Fill Bourbon and Virgin Oak Casks sourced from North America. These casks are charred for less than a minute allowing the Glengoyne spirit to shine, unladen."
