Teachers Highland Cream Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)Glasgow, SCOTLAND$52. 99Bottle$635.88 DozenABV: 40%William Teacher started work in a cotton mill aged seven; in 1830 he was employed by a small grocer in Glasgow. After marrying the owner’s daughter, he managed to arrange a liquor licence and opened his first 'dram shop'. These were well maintained public houses selling reasonable spirits. Twenty years later, Teacher was officially recognised as the largest licence holder in Glasgow. The Scotch Whisky bearing his name remains today blended & bottled in Scotland. While all blended Scotch Whiskies are made from either malt and/or grain spirit, Teacher's Highland Cream has an exceptionally high malt content - at least 45%. This is a feature which contributes to its unique character and flavour. The two core components are Glendronach and Ardmore. Glendronach is an exceptional sherry cask Speyside malt, produced in one of Scotland's oldest working distilleries. The heart of Teacher's 'rugged' flavour comes from Ardmore.
Other reviews... Nose: Oily, Fudge-like. Palate: Big, rounded, smooth. Full of crunchy maltiness. To drink this whisky is like biting into peanut brittle. Then toffee. Then licorice flavours. Finish: Rooty, oaky, smoky, these dry flavours providing a perfect balance. Comment: Malty, even creamy, but never cloying. Big and sustaining. The whisky world's answer to Kendal Mint Cake.

![That Boutique-y Whisky Company 22 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky #2 (500ml) - Batch 3]()
- Reduced
That Boutique-y Whisky Company 22 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky #2 (500ml) - Batch 3SCOTLANDReduced from $160.00$109. 99Bottle$1319.88 DozenABV: 41.8%Once-off clearance pricing. 80 bottles only.
Boutique-y have released a series of blended whiskies, some up to fifty years old, each intended to be different from the last. Of significance here is the price-age ratio. Search for 25 year old blended Scotch and you'll find they're usually upwards of AU$500. Admittedly, with this offer, you don't get luxe packaging and it's a 500ml format, but still, the value for money is compelling. You'll want to grab at least one bottle to experience what a properly aged blend tastes like. Number 2 / batch #3 was decanted around early 2017 with an outturn of 1,650 bottles and a rather cryptic label. The bottlers add, "There's no massive sphere here, but the disembodied glove has returned! This time, it looks to have discovered a massive, soft planetoid. It's another one of those metaphors! We're good at them."
Other reviews... The label for this one appears to depict a white glove stroking a hairy space testicle. Hopefully not a visual tasting note. Colour: deep gold. Nose: creamy vanilla, cinnamon swirls, nutmeg, rice pudding, fudge. Not much ‘blendy-ness’ so far, rather just some top quality American oak sweetness, with suggestions of ‘Speyside’ flavour underneath. Mouth: easy, apple peelings, rhubarb and custard boiled sweets, young dessert wines, mint julep, young demerara rums, corn syrup. All more direct and straightforward ‘decent blend’ territory. Some nice vibes of spiced custard and caramel. Finish: medium and on wet grains, metal polish, sunflower oil, Scotch broth soups, pollens and a little camphor. Comments: It’s a trixy one this, starts deceptively ‘malt driven’ then gets more classical blend-y, before finishing up not unlike some of these old 1970s era blends with these slightly metallic touches. Still, at least not a testicle in sight. 78 points - whiskyfun.com
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Honey, oak, vanilla pod and chocolatey cereal. Palate: Cherry, spiced rum, thick caramel and a hint of earthy pear. Finish: Menthol, freshly baked bread with chocolate spread, orange oil.

The Antiquary 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)Highlands, UNITED KINGDOM$89. 99Bottle$1079.88 DozenABV: 40%Produced by the Tomatin distillery, The Antiquary 12 year old, in its distinctive diamond shaped bottle, is a smooth, well-balanced deluxe blend. Each component whisky has a minimum age of 12 years, selected to combine all the strengths and subtleness of Scottish whisky at its best. Says Alex Carnie, Managing Director of J & W Hardie, “In deluxe blends, the malts and grains are 12 years or older, achieving a high degree of mellowness. The Antiquary 12 year old is a fine example; the connection with Sir Walter Scott – both The Antiquary and The Talisman are named after his novels – is a fitting one. It is a Scottish classic through and through”. At the heart of The Antiquary is a very high malt to grain ratio of the finest malts from Speyside and Highland distilleries. Their complex, classical and fruity flavours are balanced by Lowland malt, which adds gentleness to the profile. Thus is the geographical spectrum of Scotland’s whisky industry captured in a single bottle! The balance of fruity and malty aromas reflects the significant use of fine Speyside malts in this blend. The palate has a subtle fruitiness contains a hint of apples. The smoothness, depth of flavour and long aftertaste is the result of exceptionally high malt content.
Tasting Notes: Nose: Faintly peaty, herbal. Chinese tea. Jasmine. Palate:Smooth, dry maltiness. Perhaps that tea was Lapsang Souchong. Then sweeter flavours develop. Darjeeling? Eventually, a honeyish sweetness. Finish: Flowery. Crisp, clean. Comment: Feminine. Elegant. Having talked myself into an oriental mind-set, I begin to wonder whether this whisky would accompany some Asian dishes. 40%Alc./Vol.

Blended and bottled by the Gloag family, whose business was founded in 1800. The Famous Grouse is testimony to the unsurpassed blending experience of six generations of this family, which accounts for the consistent quality and smooth character of the blend. Like so many early whisky companies, Matthew Gloag & Son Ltd., has its origins in the early 19th century, when the founder established himself as a grocer and wine merchant in Perth. Matthew Gloag bought malt whiskies from distilleries around Scotland and built up a reputation for his cellars.Finest malt whiskies, such as The Macallan and Highland Park, are married with exceptional grain whiskies for an unusually long period in fully seasoned oak casks to create the Famous Grouse blend. The product takes its name from the Red Grouse, a native wild game bird of Scotland.
Other reviews…Remains sexy, elegant and refined with a stunning opening on the palate. But can’t help feeling that caramel has recently replaced some of the crisper notes, especially on the finish.

This is The Macallan's first attempt at a whisky liqueur. Those who have had the opportunity to taste it will be sad to learn that it has now been discontinued (collectors take note!) It consists of Macallan Single malt whisky flavoured with maple syrup and pecan.
If you like cocktails like the 'Rusty Nail', Macallan Amber can add an exciting twist in place of the traditional Drambuie. This is also recommended as a variation on the White Russian. 25% Alc./Vol.

Vat 69 Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)Edinburgh, SCOTLAND$44. 99Bottle$539.88 DozenABV: 40%No serious bar is complete without an inexpensive mixing scotch like Vat 69. This is a simple, unpretentious whisky, with hints of smoke and malt in the background. Hardy enough to withstand the most heavy handed mixing.
Originally blended in 1882 by one William Sanderson, a young Wine & Spirit Merchant based in Edinburgh. Intent on launching a new brand, Sanderson commissioned 100 different blends from noted blenders and carried out his own market research. After tasting the samples with a group of asscosciates, it was blend number 69 that was chosen. The label still emulates the original which was inspired by Portugese port labels of the time. Vat 69 is distilled in Scotland, imported and bottled in Australia. 40% alc./vol.

White Heather 21 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)SCOTLAND$299. 00Bottle$3588.00 DozenABV: 48%With only 2000 bottles available worldwide, Billy Walker's latest effort is aimed at collectors as well as drinkers. Taking inspiration from a whisky brand which was discontinued in the 1980s as the industry consolidated, White Heather was acquired by Glenallachie in 2017, along with the MacNair’s Lum Reek Blended Malt brand. Walker has put his own unique spin on White Heather, sourcing single malt and grain whiskies from the Highlands, Islay and Speyside. 18 years maturing in a combination of first-fill American barrels, sherry butts and second-fill barrels and hogsheads was followed by three years in a mix of Pedro Ximénez puncheons, Oloroso puncheons and Appalachian Virgin Oak casks to let the flavours marry together and take on additional layers of depth and complexity from the wood. The resulting whisky, which is single malt heavy, presented at 48% and with no added colouring or chill-filtration, perfectly balances gentle peat from the Islay contribution, archetypal Speyside fruity notes, the heather honeyed sweetness of the Highlands, and a rich and rounded foundation from the grain components.
Commenting on the landmark release, Walker said: “This whisky is particularly close to my heart. Creating this blend took me back almost 50 years to when I started my career at Hiram Walker. It was there I started to learn the art of blending and the specialist skills required to select whiskies that when interfaced with each other ultimately amplified the overall flavour experience. With White Heather, I poured everything I’ve learned on my whisky journey into crafting a truly memorable small batch aged blend that sits proudly alongside even the very best single malts. I wanted to honour the original blend whilst recreating it in a much more premium form with exceptional wood. It’s a fine balance bringing together the character of such different whiskies and cask types, but I’m incredibly proud to now unveil the end result.” Very limited stocks.

Whyte & Mackay 30 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)SCOTLAND$499. 00Bottle$5988.00 DozenABV: 40%An ultra aged blend, reportedly in the rich and well sherried style. The Whyte & Mackay brand dates back to 1882 when it was established by Charles Mackay and James Whyte. Whiskies from Dalmore and Invergordon are key components. Other reviews... This takes us to another dimension, declares Master Blender Richard Paterson. Here selection has become even more critical to avoid the obvious woody notes that could arise at this age. Although we state 30, the whiskies in it are anything from 30 to 36 years old. Malt, Sherry, figs and raisins on the nose of this profound and confident blend. Mouth-coating and full-bodied, with caramel, citrus notes, marzipan and liquorice. A lovely, lengthy interplay between malt and Sherry on the finish. A veritable Christmas pudding of a whisky. As Paterson insists, a blend of this age must be drunk with respect - slow, not hurried. Each flavour must be given time to reveal its many fine qualities - rich and mellow, elegant and distinguished.
