The first edition in Ardbeg’s inaugural travel retail series. One litre, 46% NCF.
'Smoketrails' is the name for Ardbeg's new and first-ever collection of single malts exclusively dedicated to the travel market. Launched in late 2022 with annual batches in the pipeline, each edition will be a marriage of Ardbeg aged in American oak with Ardbeg matured in secondary casks sourced from around the world. This is the first edition, employing Manzanilla (dry) Sherry casks from Sanlúcar de Barrameda on Spain’s Atlantic coast. Light and fresh in style, Manzanilla sherries are aged close to the sea and are typically bone dry with a salty tang - well matched to Ardbeg's island profile.
Distillery Manager, Colin Gordon says, “For each Smoketrails release we’ll pack our suitcase and zig zag across the globe in search of new flavour adventures...With a unique batch code on this and future bottlings, we hope Ardbeggians will jump at the chance to get their hands on this delectable, collectable dram when they are on their travels.”
Ardbeg’s Master Distiller, Dr Bill Lumsden adds “In Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition, salty sea spray and deep, nutty notes mingle with pungent aromas of soot, dark chocolate and Brazil nuts. Clouds of pine and fennel fill the senses with notes of saddle soap and aniseed trailing gently behind. All I have to say to anybody who lays their hands on a bottle is… get ready for a smoky blast!” Available at selected airports around the globe, we've sourced a small parcel for Australian devotees who might otherwise miss out. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... I've just seen that this one is still available in travel retail, for a price that's much lower than in regular shops. They were having dozens at Basel airport just last week, for example. It is a vatting of ex-American oak (Heaven Hill?) and ex-manzanilla casks. I remember some superb ex-fino Ardbeg around Feis 2005, but I'm not sure we've already tried some ex-manzanilla 'beg. But was Dr Bill's idea to add saltiness to saltiness? Let's see, while it's mentioned on the label that it should display some 'saddle soap'… Remember horses are another specialty of Jerez… Colour: straw. Nose: frankly, the territory of an (unsherried, ha) Ardbeg and that of some manzanilla are so close to each other that I'm finding this nose particularly tautological. Fresh walnuts shouting out, green apples and lemons, some chalk, a touch of mustard, sea spray, fresh almonds and chalk, then only a wee touch of mutton suet or something like that. Having said all that and while it's classic Ardbeg in my book, it is not really 'big'. Mouth: perhaps a little too much grittiness, fresh oak at first, making it bitterish (bell pepper, walnut skin), but also loads of salt, as expected. It feels young for sure. Cold ashes, lemon skin, tart cider apples, lemon jellybeans… I find it relatively simple, but Ardbeggy enough. Finish: rather long, still salty. Or, let's say it triggers a lot of saltiness. Walnuts and mustard in the aftertaste. Comments: now, what to do with a litre of this, if you've also got a bottle of the superior Ten in your cabinet? And I'm afraid I couldn't recognise any notes of saddle soap, but that is me. Don't get me wrong, it's some very good Ardbeg that we could quaff with langoustines on the shore of the Guadalquivir, in Sanlucar. 86 points - whiskyfun.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Lemon peel. Gentle smoke, not too peaty, more bonfire than medical. Some fruity notes. Taste: Sweet, toffee notes, milk chocolate, then the citric notes from the nose are coming back. Smoke is rather gentle. Finish: Long. Now reconcilable peaty, yet sweet.

Bowmore Aston Martin Dark & Intense 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $114.99
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The first in a series of re-packaged Travel Retail single malts featuring the Grand Marque, Aston Martin. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Come on, really, an Aston Martin at 40% vol.? That's neither a straight-6 nor a V12, it's more a Cygnet (remember Google is supposed to be your friend). It's still advertised as being 'Dark & Intense', let's check that… Colour: golden amber. Nose: some walnut wine at first, plus horse saddle and old leather jacket, tamarind jam, marmalade, a little spent engine oil (and voilà), then ras-el-hanout and a little ginger tonic. Blood oranges. This rather leathery smoke works well I have to say, even at 40% vol. There's also the obligatory lapsang souchong and cocoa. Mouth: nice salty arrival, with lots and lots of walnuts and a cup of oversteeped lapsang souchong. Some grapefruit then, chicken bouillon, orange zests dipped into chocolate (orangettes), smoked oysters… All nice, the problem is that it would tend to nosedive after ten seconds, and that's strictly because of the minimal strength. An Aston Martin with an empty petrol tank (which is not an unseen situation). Finish: pretty short, what a pity. Some toffee. Comments: I'm absolutely sure that even at 43% vol. this would have been a winner. One solution though, find a young indie Bowie at 50-60% vol. and pour a few drops into this one. I'm sure it'll be fantastic. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

Craigellachie 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

First released in 2014, Craigellachie's 13 year old is a perfect introduction to the distillery's heavy distillate, partly the result of short fermentations but also due to enormous stills with straight lyne arms adding reflux. Even from a 30ml sample, it's a whisky with terrific depth. Fruity, almost floral aromas hint at lucerne mulch and new leather, slowly giving way to ripe orchard fruits - especially green apples. The palate sports delicious, buttery-malt and spicy pear flavours with more pepper, late fruitiness and lingering spices. Some tasters also note a slightly sulphury / smokey edge ( think spent matches). This style won't be for everyone, but it is undeniably one of the more distinctive malts in its price bracket. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Light amber. The initial impression is one of bulk. There are heavy florals — think lilies and stewed white fruit, and just-overripe banana — but this is given a mysterious extra heft by an underpinning of a light meatiness, accompanied by a tiny lift of (good) sulfur. The palate is, unsurprisingly, thick and creamy with huge fruit that fills the mouth. A highly physical, old-style Speyside dram with classic distillery character. A statement whisky that is a must-try. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com, (Winter 2014) Reviewed by: Dave Broom
...You couldn’t make a label look more ‘retro’, could you! Unless you start using hieroglyphs or cuneiform alphabet. Colour: straw. Nose: it is a milder, rounder and sweeter version of the 2003, but the background is similar. Wee touches of mezcal again, a little earth, a little sulphur (spirit sulphur) that borders almondiness (what?), plenty of apples and then a few raisins and a touch of vanilla. It’s got a style, and that’s just great, even if it does nose a little young, almost as much so as the DL. Mouth: a few burnt notes in the attack, notes of distillation, cooked sugar and herbs… But it gets then cleaner, maltier and slightly smoky, with a bitterish edge. May lack a part of the DL’s vibrancy (as the pros say.) Finish: rather long, between candy sugar and this bitter side. Grapefruit skin. Comments: mixed feelings here. On the one hand, I find the honesty and the nakedness fantastic, it’s not botoxed whisky at all. On the other hand, I find it a little raw and bitter. Let’s try the older ones… 79 points - whiskyfun.com

Glen Scotia Campbeltown 1832 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"One of the best malts using PX casks on the market today." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022
Good to see higher ABVs arriving in these one litre formats. This one was matured in Bourbon barrels then finished in Pedro Ximénez casks before bottling at 46% abv without chill filtration. Some reviewers notice a fair degree of peat in the profile, others highlight a tropical fruit character. '1832' refers to the region in which the distillery resides, and the year Glen Scotia was founded.
Other reviews... Suet pudding with an extra dose of maple syrup; my word that PX makes its mark early. But, such a rare thing to find, the malt is bought into play early on, thereby arresting the sweetness but allowing a magnificently beautiful duet to be played by the two main characters; balances out beautifully as the spices kick start late. One of the best malts using PX casks on the market today. Elegant and adorable. 92.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022
...Nose: Gentle, distinctly tropical nose, banana and pineapple. Palate: More of that tropical theme on the palate: dried mango, pineapple and banana flavours, along with some vanilla. Finish: A long, complex, resinous finish. Comment: A real tropical fruit bomb of a whisky. Lots to like and savour here if you like things on the sweeter side. - whiskymag.com

Glendronach Forgue 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

The perfect Winter session whisky for those who don't like peat.
Named after the Valley in which the distillery is located, Forgue was hot on the heels of Glendronach's 15 year old re-release earlier this year (for Australia). It's a 10-year-old single malt matured in a combination of oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, also marking the distillery’s first expression dedicated to Travel Retail.
Tasting note: Amber gold. Builds with aromas of baking spice (cinnamon, vanilla), prunes, raisin cake and light orange zest. Feels like there's a little more PX than Oloroso influence, with nicely balanced, middle weight flavours of raisins, dried apricot and dark chocolate relieved by delicate peel freshness. Showing good body, texture and richness, it rounds off with gingery warmth, juicy fruit cake and bubblegum flavours through the aftertaste. Like a slightly toned down version of the 'Original', the one litre format and 43% ABV up the value. Non chill filtered.

Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection Vat 01 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $159.99
$124. 99
Bottle
$1499.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The Perpetual series was unveiled in mid 2022 as travel retail exclusives. Four whiskies showing off the distillery’s signature solera vat maturation process make up the range. The vat system never runs dry. Instead, a portion is removed and the remainder is topped up with fresh liquid. This allows the latest batch to take on some characteristics of the older product. The process originated from Spanish sherry production, which Glenfiddich’s fifth Malt Master, David Stewart adapted in 1998 to produce their core 15-year-old single malt. According to him, it allows whisky from different casks to better integrate. Only half the whisky in Glenfiddich’s large solera vats is bottled at any one time.
Of the four malts in the Perpetual Collection, the most easily approached is Vat 01, a combination of Bourbon and wine cask-matured whiskies that's sweet, soft, and smooth. Glenfiddich have honed the style over the decades and in this bottling, they've perfected the art of delivering a 40% abv whisky with character or depth. Admittedly, its predictable fusion of creamy, biscuity malt and subtle nashi pear fruitiness resembles many other Glenfiddichs, but when you just want a decent dram at a fair price, consistency and reliability is often a big part of the equation. Incentivise further with a one-litre format and you have an easy buying decision.
Aged in Spanish sherry casks, Vat 02 presents a more complex and luscious character. Both have no age statements. The 15-year-old Vat 03 showcases Glenfiddich’s signature style. Matured in European oak sherry and Bourbon casks, it's silky and full-bodied delivering warm notes of spice, nutty marzipan, and dried figs. The final in the series is also deemed the most extravagant. Vat 04 is treated in oloroso sherry and Bourbon casks for 18 years for a deeper profile.
Notes from the producers... Beautifully fragrant and floral. Summer blossom notes with hints of creamy vanilla toffee and subtle oakiness. A touch of zesty citrus in the background. TASTE: Very soft and mellow with a lovely balance of oak and the trademark Glenfiddich character. Layers of sweetness and spice with hints of freshly ground pepper. FINISH: Delicate and smooth.

Glenmorangie The Tribute 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $199.99
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

It's no secret that Glenmoragnie's Head of Whisky Creation loves to be creative. Dr. Bill Lumsden began experimenting with adding peated barley to the mix about twenty years ago, but never anticipated sales for the category to explode in the way they have. Indeed, it’s only been in the past few years that Glenmorangie have realised the potential for smokey styles. To ensure this expression doesn’t overwhelm drinkers with its peaty character, fifty percent of the malt is traditional, non-peated Glenmorangie. Reportedly, there’s a little bit of smoke upfront but then it’s very fragrant, more floral like hay that’s dried out on a farm, cut grass and fresh flowers, even a little bit of milk chocolate. The style is a genuine throwback to the distillery's past, paying tribute to the historic use of a peat fired kiln (yes, many a Highlander used to be peated!) Aged in bourbon casks, like the other three in this value series, you get a large format bottled at a slightly higher ABV of 43%.
Other reviews... Lemon pith and lime marmalade on the nose begin a citrus theme that leads into the bright, green fruit driven palate with tangy salinity and elegant peat character. Beautifully refined. 94 points - International Wine & Spirits Competition
...Nose: A charcoal barbeque chock-a-block with tropical fruits. Mango, pineapple and kiwis all grilling away with a sprinkling of coconut flakes, lavender infused rock salt and then some shards of white chocolate. Palate: Waves of tobacco smoke, plasticine and burnt coffee granules join the succulent fruit notes from the nose. Finish: A delightfully waxy element to it and a hint of smoky florals towards the end. Comment: If a box of crayons were fruit flavoured and being stored in a smokehouse. - whiskymag.com
"...Earthy smoky notes and delicate oak tannins are balanced by acacia honey, ripe apple and vanilla, all enlivened by a touch of clove and black pepper spice." 5 stars - diffordsguide.com

Glenmorangie The Elementa 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

$159. 99
Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

The Elementa is the second of Glenmorangie's new Travel Retail whiskies released in late 2020, in this case, celebrating the art of wood finishing. Thirteen years in bourbon barrels followed by nine to twelve months in charred virgin American oak casks results in an unusual age statement with sweet, woody depths and a spicy edge that's also creamy with notes of vanilla, lemon peel and crystalised ginger. One litre format. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Nose: Quite gentle at first. Strawberries, dark chocolate and cracked black pepper, just a touch of aged balsamic. Slabs of toffee and rose petals, peanut brittle. Soft as possible wood notes. Oak chests. Palate: Sweet and all that honey comes in. Fruit as well with those strawberries, oak gets a grip. Fizzy sherbet. Treacle tart, jammy with plump blackcurrants. Finish: Long, sweet and honeyed, just a hint of bitter walnut skin to balance it. Ginger prickle eventually. Comment: Fairly well balanced and straight forward too. - whiskymag.com

Glenmorangie The Accord 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

The youngest in a trio of Travel Retail exclusives, those already familiar with Glenmorangie's 'Lasanta' may find similarities here. While the Lasanta is finished in Oloroso and Pedro Ximinez sherry casks, 'The Accord' is aged in ex-bourbon and finished in Oloroso only. The result is “a punch of richness, depth and spiciness that great sherry whisky should have,” says Brand Ambassador, Brendan McCarron. It's otherwise summed up as a fruity and rich Glenmorangie showcasing Bill Lumsden's expertise in marrying casks. x Bourbon barrels deliver smooth, fruity notes while oloroso sherry adds gentle sweetness and spice. One litre format. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Nose: It’s like someone mixed apple crumble in with Playdoh. There’s then waves of freshly cooked doughnuts with Nutella and mint choc-chip ice cream. Palate: Nutty and rich with toasted walnuts and cinnamon oats to begin with which is slowly followed by poached pears and smoked Applewood. Slight grassy hints of morning dew appear. Finish: A creamy consistency with charred oak notes creating a subtle smokiness. Comment: Every possible food group in a glass. What more could you possibly want?!

Grand Old Parr 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Edinburgh, SCOTLAND
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Whether you know one or are one, every Old Parr deserves a blend as good as this! In Jim Murray's words, "blending Parr excellence!"

Usually available at Duty Free stores only, Old Parr is named after Tom Parr (pictured on the label), once reputed to be the oldest man in England. Launched in 1909, the brand later found success in export markets such as Japan, Mexico and South America where it was easily identified in its distinctive dimpled and rounded square bottle. The basis of the blend today is Cragganmore, however Glendullan has also been a major component since World War II.

Tasting note: Deep gold / bright copper penny colour. An attractive mix of cocoa, vanilla and breakfast fruit toast with exposure drawing out a fruit'n'nut chocolate aspect. Concentrated for the genre, with a spicy backbone that includes muesli, dried grass and light stewed fruit flavours, ending honeyed yet fresh, grainy, peppery and with excellent length. Quite richly styled. Gets better each time you taste it. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Perhaps on about the fourth or fifth mouthfeel, the penny drops that this is not only exceptionally good whisky; it is blending Parr excellence. 91.5 points- Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2016

Golden amber color. Aromas of honeyed nut toast and cereal with a soft, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body with a vanilla toffee and pepper finish. A very pleasant, easy-going blend. International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal

Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 48%

"Unquestionably one of the great malts of the year...in spite of itself". - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
Triple aged in ex-Bourbon barrels, quarter casks and Pedro Ximénez sherry butts, this deeply coloured Laphroaig opens with a PX top note almost overwhelming the expected distillery aromas. Brandy soaked raisins and dark chocolate amid flashes of sweet peat and pepper give way to smouldering cedar, cigar box and hints of elastoplast, accenting fruit cake in later inspections. Terrific balance in the sweet, smokey-malt mid palate; vanilla and Christmas cake add richness to the finish. Prolonged and lozenge-like with Laphroaig's trademark medicinal edge and pepperiness breaking through late, finally checked by the sherry. A big PX influence here but it's deftly handled - think of it as drunken Christmas pudding, Islay-style. 48% Alc./Vol. Normally travel retail exclusive.
Other reviews... This ultra sweet wine is often paired with smokey malt, often with disastrous consequences. Here it has worked, but only because the PX has been controlled itself by absolutely outstanding oak. And the ability of the smoke to take on several roles and personas simultaneously. A quite beautiful whisky and unquestionably one of the great malts of the year...in spite of itself. 96 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2015
...truly is excellent stuff, that sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry finish has added just enough fruit & spice to balance the oak and smoke. If the sweetness was just a tad more subdued, and it stated on the label if it was chill filtered, it likely would have scored even higher! Definitely my favourite Laphroaig so far, followed closely by Quarter Cask and 18 year old. 4.5 / 5 - peatedperfection.blogspot.com/

$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

While not well-known in Australia, overseas Speyburn has long been considered one of the better values in single malt Scotch. The tenner comes matured in both x-Bourbon and x-Sherry casks and offers a light to medium-bodied dram with a friendly fruity-cereal character. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A sweet, creamy dram matured mainly in bourbon casks and some sherry casks. The nose has honey, vanilla, flaked coconut, lemon biscuits, and apple Danish pastries. Vanilla fudge, lemon bonbons, white chocolate, toffee, sweet oak, and cracked peppercorns continue the sweet flavor profile as it melts into butterscotch sauce and crème brûlée at the swallow, with vanilla seeds on the finish It’s impossible not to like it. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...Tasting it fresh in 2023, we find a whisky with an outsized nose of fresh granary notes, showing as a bit leathery at times, with the lightest touch of smoke evoking aromas of smoldering underbrush. No fruit, no real sweetness, just the essence of cereal. The palate kicks in with more to offer, though the grain-heavy backbone is never out of focus. Well-roasted cereal, almost overcooked at times, find room for some brighter notes of applesauce, a squeeze of lemon peel, and some sugary shortbread character. Uncomplicated as it develops, the finish melds sweetness with cereal notes, eventually developing into something resembling sweetcorn, served on vanilla wafers. That vaguely smoky quality lingers, however, keeping things in a savory check. All told I am distinctly less enamored with Speyburn 10 today than I was a decade ago, though there is still no arguing with the extreme — and perhaps unmatched — value it offers in single malt Scotch. - drinkhacker.com

$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Delve into the world of Sherry-finished single malt without breaking the bank.
First, there was the 'Sherry Cask Edition'. Now comes a variation focusing on Oloroso sherry maturation in a one litre format. Equal in quality to its sister release, this is another solid value that offers clear sherry input without being overdone. The classic notes of fruit cake, orange zest and sweet nuttiness are all here, sensitively dialled in to match the lighter volume of Tamnavulin's spirit. There is also a lovely peel tang to the finish, completed by whisps of cocoa and ginger biscuit. 40% but tastes like 43%. We preferred it straight, or with just a few ice cubes, but if you must add water, do so judiciously. There is a sweet spot to this whisky that errs on the less is more side. Find it and this gentle dram is a pure delight. Travel retail exclusive. One shipment at the current price.

Tamnavulin Tempranillo Cask Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

One in a series of Tamnavulins for the Travel retail market with a wine matured theme. This one sees an initial period in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred into Spanish ex-Tempranillo red wine casks. The finishing adds a pleasing tint of colour as well as contributing a berry-like notes. Bottled in a large format at 40%, the producers say to expect warm, sweet flavours of figs, maple syrup and toffee apple with notes of peaches, decadent chocolate ganache and a touch of coffee.
Other reviews... A little NAS finished in one the strongest red wines, what could go wrong? Remember, tempranillo is the varietal that's giving us the famous red Riojas. Colour: gold, not pink, and not even salmony/apricotty. Nose: as unusual as we were expecting, rather on peach and pear leaves, tomato leaves as well, then more earthy wood (barrel) and cassis, fruits and buds. Enters then more and more beer territories, which comes just as unexpected, but that would rather be Kriek and double-IPA. Mouth: a bizarre drop on the palate. Sour cherries, more Kriek, homemade mead, then wine gums and, well, a feeling of sangria. An acquired taste, shall we say. A little bitter/sour oak. Finish: short. Barrel water and more mead mixed with cherry juice. Comments: I'll never really manage to acquire this taste, I'm afraid. Please no red wine in my malt whisky (we'll have to make a T-shirt one day). 70 points - whiskyfun.com

Tomatin Bourbon & Sherry Casks 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

In 2003, Tomatin's 10 year old malt was replaced by the 12 year old. In 2009, a 15 Year was added to the line-up, which also includes an 18 year old and a 25 year old. More recently, this sherry-finished 12 Year Old was relaunched and by several reports, it's a noticeable improvement on the previous bottling. In fact, if you're looking for value for money, this fruity maltfest with a splash of sherry and tang of spice should tick all the boxes. As the name suggests, it comes matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and x Spanish Sherry casks (reportedly Oloroso) for the last 6-9 months of ageing. Awarded a DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The aroma of the dram is full of heather and forest moss. You will also discover stone fruits like apricots along with an assortment of hard candies. The palate is not as exciting as the nose with the whisky feeling a bit hollow and lackluster in comparison. The finish is full of wood spices more heather, but leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth. 83 points - distiller.com
Notes from the producers... A rich, fruity aroma is the prelude to sweet flavours of ripe apples, pears and a subtle hint of nut before the long, pleasantly oily finish.

"Some rather contrasting, complex flavours that strangely hang together rather well." - whiskymag.com
Casual quaffing wines have their equivalent in the whisky world. In America, they call them 'table whiskeys'. In Scotland, they turn out drams like this and bottle them up in litre formats, usually for Duty Free markets. Released in September 2016, Tomatin's 8 is the youngest in a collection of Travel Retail exclusives that includes the flagship 12 year, a 15 year and a rare 40. The combination of Bourbon & Sherry maturation promises a slightly sweet and fruity whisky suggesting apples, pears, ginger and cinnamon. At a very accessible 40%, think of it as a value everyday drinker to share with unexpected guests, or a base for blending your own 'house style'.
Other reviews... A malt very proud of its youth. 89 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2023
Nose: Quite an earthy nose for this dram. Think damp earth after the rain with some woody notes thrown in for good measure too. Palate: Quite a chewy mouth-feel, black pepper and liquorice mingle with some dark blackcurrant cassis, with some burnt toast flavours. Finish: Long, sweet, but also a little smoky on the finish. Comment: What to make of this oddball? Some rather contrasting, complex flavours that strangely hang together rather well. One to ponder and enjoy. 40% Alc./Vol. 88 points - Joe Bates, whiskymag.com

Tomintoul Tarn Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

High in the Cairngorms, small mountain lochs called tarns have developed due to glacial movement. The name comes from the old Norse word “tjorn” meaning pond, and some of these spring water lochs have existed for over 10,000 years, since the last ice age. Many tarns are surrounded by ancient peat. It is this peat influence that shapes the smoky, sweet and earthy character of Tomintoul Tarn. The whisky is reportedly a step up in intensity from most of the other distillery expressions. The one-litre bottle means there's more to enjoy. 40% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Peat forward with whiffs of campfire smoke and burnt heather that open up into aromas of honey and orchard fruits. Palate: Smoky and sweet with layers of peat smoke, boiled sweets, vanilla pod and hints of soft liquorice. Finish: A nice balance of fireplace soot and vanilla cake that leaves a long sweet and smoky linger.

Tomintoul Tundra Bourbon Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $119.99
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The all-Bourbon cask matured 'Tundra' seeks to highlight the creamy, soft mouthfeel that Tomintoul is famous for. It's named for the fact that the distillery is based in the Cairngorms National Park - one of the few places outside the Arctic that have tundra areas. That means sub-zero temperatures, as well as cold and windy winters, giving way to unique wild flowers and wildlife during the summer. The sweetness of the American oak matches the gentle fruity sweetness of the malt. Together they make for a light to medium bodied dram: Uncomplicated, affable, and one that works well as an aperitif over ice. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Never tried this little beast before, bottled—judging by the name—prior to the tragic events in Ukraine. You’ll say there’s tundra up north across all continents, be it America, Europe or Asia. Fair enough, let’s see if we can sniff out any moss or lichen... Colour: pale gold. Nose: no moss to report, rather pear, pineapple, vanilla and grist, plus a basket of this morning’s croissants. Mouth: this one fully lives up to Tomintoul’s slogan, ‘The Gentle Dram’. Scones and muffins, Earl Grey, barley, a little green tea, then a reprise of nicely ripe pear and apple. It whispers more than it shouts, but it’s charming. Finish: short but soft and fresh, without any misstep, save for a faint dusty note in the aftertaste. Comments: very honest and loyal, no needless fuss. Yep ‘tundra’ is truly a Russian name, apparently. 80 points - whiskyfun.com

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

For over a century, Aberfeldy has maintained a hidden profile as the backbone of the famous Dewar’s blends (the best-selling Scotch in America as well as the distillery’s corporate owner). Aberfeldy's own line of re-vamped single malts started to roll out in 2014, with a five-strong range. Sales have since increased significantly. Situated between the Highlands and the Lowlands, the distillery is sometimes referred to as a 'Mid-Lowlander' and is considered one of the sweetest of all Scottish single malts, the result of extended fermentations coupled with slow distillation. Its approachable style has a honeycomb - breakfast cereal character and can be deliciously fruity. Sherried variants like the very successful 16 year old reveal a gutsier side of the distillate.
When it comes to the entry-level 12 year old, initial impressions are of fruit salad with scents of unripe canteloupe most salient along side dustings of dried coconut. Five minutes sees the fruity edge only slightly diminished. It's light and silky on entry but builds into a soft, light to medium bodied, elegant malt, the fruity / vanilla combination repeating at mid palate, followed by hints of oatmeal with moderate length. In short, an amiable 'Highlander' that's clearly intended for casual drinking. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... bright and lively, the sweetly honeyed cereal and buttery biscuits of a predominantly bourbon-barreled single malt (plus some refill and a touch of sherry) are immediate on both nose and palate. It’s approachable and comes across as just a little green but otherwise fully uncomplicated, with the focus squarely on well-sweetened grain notes as the palate builds. The finish offers just a touch of spice and at least nods toward the oak barrel, but it never attempts to complicate what comes across as an affordable sipper to get the night started. - drinkhacker.com
Golden and bright in the glass, the aroma suggests caramel apples. The palate shows plenty of oak and spice, opening with sandalwood and vanilla, plus a hint of baked apple. Adding water brings a mellow, malty effect, bringing in honey, ginger and a final flurry of cinnamon. 91 points - wineenthusiast.com
Fresh and floral, with lively tropical fruit, honey, and vanilla. Gentle on the palate, with a slight syrupy texture to its malty foundation. Youthful, orange marmalade finish with a hint of spice. A pleasant, easy-going whisky. 82 points
- maltadvocate.com, 4th Quarter 2006 Issue-Vol. 15#4
... Nose: Beautifully intense malt with a cidery-apple fruitiness. Gentle oak and honey round off superbly. Palate: Fresh, almost crisp mouthfeel with outstanding sweet maltiness and an almost Irish pot-still firm fruitiness. Mouthwatering. Finish: Softly spiced with a long, rich malt follow-through. Comment: Really outstanding example of massively complex, classy but undiscovered malt. 85 points - Jim Murray, whiskymag.com

Expect soft notes of honey freshened with citrus and delicate tones of baked apples, cinnamon and creamy vanilla. Big one litre format.
Other reviews... The nose is complex and rich with touches of citrus fruits, honey, and muted spices. The spices come alive on the palate with intense notes of cinnamon and allspice complemented nicely by apple cobbler, vanilla, and honey. The finish is long and well-balanced as the cinnamon spiciness fades away gently while lingering apple and honey notes tickle the back of the throat. Excellent!

Aberlour has always delivered a decent dose of Sherry goodness, and this new NAS release aims to give whisky lovers “the ideal introduction to Sherry cask-matured whiskies”. First created for the French market but now a global release, the name translates from the Gaelic as “rare cask”. Not surprisingly, it's primarily matured in Oloroso sherry, as well as two different kinds of American oak casks. It's also bottled at a higher than normal ABV. Expect aromas and flavours of dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg, some stone fruit and milk chocolate. Comes handsomely packaged with a wax sealed stopper. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... the delivery stars with those sugars well in their stride... Dates and figs represent the fruit with panache. 84.5 points 48% Alc./Vol.

...Sure the name sounds a little stupid (aren’t they being almost as creative as Bunnahabhain in that respect?), but that does not obligatorily mean the whisky’s poor. Plus, the price is rather fair (approx.) so they’re not trying to suggest that this is the Koh-I-Noor of whisky. Colour: gold. Nose: typical Aberlour, really. Nuts, Mars bars, rose petals, milk chocolate, butterscotch, roasted raisins, walnut cake, Ovaltine and morello cherries. Mouth: chocolate and malt cake, more Ovaltine, raisin cake, Christmas cake, more walnuts and Mars bars, toffee, cinnamon rolls… Finish: rather long, and clearly on panettone. A wee drop of mulled wine too, and even more Ovaltine mixed with orange liqueur in the aftertaste. Comments: Aberlour are very good at making this very style of malt whisky. Another fine example - despite the lack of age statement (and the funny name). Nothing against Gaelic, of course, but it’s all becoming a little tiring, is it not. 85 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

The distillery which was founded on its current site by James Fleming in 1879 is not open to the public. (However, visitors are welcomed by appointment during the Speyside Whisky Festival). The village ‘Aberlour’ (Gaelic for Mouth of the Chattering Burn) became nationally famous in the 19th century for its Orphanage. The town has preserved much of its historical character. Original houses, built of stones taken from the bed of the Spey, mingle with more recent buildings and landscaped public gardens. Aberlour's spectacular setting on the banks of the Spey makes it easy to see what made it such an attractive place to found a community and a distillery. The pack horse bridge over the Lour and the remains of the famous Aberlour Orphanage can still be seen in the village, which makes an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Aberlour is also a highly sought after salmon angling spot and the home of Walkers’ shortbread. Built alongside the Lour burn, the Aberlour distillery uses pure spring water that rises through peat and granite from Ben Rinnes. The St Drostan Well stone was erected to mark the location of the spring, which was used by St Drostan to baptise the local population in the 7th century, and is also featured on Aberlour’s label.Folklore, legend and the smooth delight of Aberlour malt whisky have been traditional fireside companions through many a long winter night in these parts. Today Aberlour 10 year old is available in over 40 countries. Other bottlings are available in selected markets and duty free.

Aberlour Sherry Cask 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Aberlour's house style is typically rich, generous and extremely accessible. These flavours are usually achieved with very low degrees of peating being employed (if any at all). Maturation takes place in top quality ex-sherry casks, in this case, exclusively Oloroso Sherry casks.
Tasting note: Polished brass / copper colour. Not exactly an extroverted nose, but not shy either, with definite sherry input infusing light citrus peel, fruit cake, walnut slice and hints of cocoa to the aroma. Middle weighted, this glides easily over the tongue with medium dry flavours of ginger bread and light fruit cake supported by a spicy, slightly citrusy / acidic backbone. Finishes relaxed, fresh and nutty with the sweetness restrained. The trace of sulphur is mild enough to ignore. A nicely balanced sherried edition that treads on the drier side. 40% Alc./Vol.

Ardbeg Smoketrails Cote Rotie Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

If you're looking for something off the beaten track, this could be for you. Most Islay fans are familiar with Ardbeg's regular offerings, but few will have heard of the 'Smoketrails' series. Scheduled as duty-free exclusives, this is the second release to date. Combining the classic robust, maritime smoke of the Islay single malt with the sophisticated, rich qualities of Northern Rhone reds, the limited edition is finished in barrels previously used to mature wine from the Côte Rôtie region in France. Like its predecessor, the Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition, the whisky comes in a generous one-litre presentation, bottled at 46% Alc./Vol. Expect flavours of punchy peat, grilled peppers and smoked fruit. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Nose: The wine influence is undeniable. Slightly acidic with pomegranates, lychees and a fair amount of blackberries, but also floral touches such as rose water. Haribo Chamallows too. Then finally a whiff of olive brine, peanuts, wet wool and cattle feed. And yes, there is a touch of campfire and peat, but this is certainly not your average Ardbeg. Taste: Decent viscosity and a slight stickiness. Somewhat ashy at first, then notes of chili pepper and vegetal peat, followed by brine, vanilla and oak tannins. A gentle acidity accompanied by a wine-y sweetness, but the wine influence seems more minimal overall. Finish: Medium length. Somewhat dry. Spicy notes alongside green peat and tar. - wordsofwhisky.com
Notes from the producers... Grilled artichoke, peppers and olive brine make for a savory top note. A splash of water opens up malted barley sweetness and a subtle hint of camphor. Carbolic soap dives into a delicate fruitiness with smoked cranberry and blackcurrant. The sweetness continues in dark chocolate and soft fondant cream. Finally, savory saltiness soars in a combination of crispy bacon rind, tar and woodsmoke.

ABV: 40%

A throwback to when Highland distilleries dried their barley with the sweet smoke of local peat. It's also finished in smaller Quarter Casks, so it's fuller and richer than most, as well as having distinct smokey notes. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... [46% ABV tasted] My guess, due to an extra fraction of sweetness and spice, is that it is the former [caramel has been added]. All that said, the overall experience remains quite beautiful. And this remains one of my top ten distilleries in the world. 88.5 points 46% Alc./Vol.- Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2019
... This is non-chill filtered and finished in a “Quarter Cask,” similar to Laphroaig Quarter Cask (same owners). Ardmore remains one of the few Speyside whiskies made with peat-smoked malt. Chewy, almost oily-textured, with sweet notes of toffee and caramel up front, followed by emerging damp, earthy peat and bourbon-like notes. The oaky, resinous bourbon lingers through the finish. The bourbon oak intensity dominates to a degree, disrupting the harmony of the remaining flavors. A whisky of great potential, but still waiting to achieve some of it.

Other reviews... Very curious. Reminds me very much of Penderyn Welsh whisky before it hits the Madeira casks. 85.5 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2016
...No age statement here, and a minimal strength, let’s say this is the aperitif. They say this is ex-first fill American oak, but there’s also a ‘Virgin Oak’ version so I suppose this is actually first fill bourbon wood. Not too sure, 99% of all wood that’s used for Scotch is American oak anyway, including the vast majority of the sherry casks. Colour: straw. Nose: fine, fresh, a notch citric, and otherwise pretty much on vanilla. Granny Smith, custard, Fanta Lemon, Thai basil and a little cardamom. No complains at this point. Mouth: a tad oaky, almost plankish at first, going towards lemon skin and limoncello after twenty seconds, with a wee sugary feel and something of some very young cognac V.S. Bush peaches, perhaps? Finish: short, a tad tea-ish. Sawdust and sugar, something of Bacardi. Touch of cardboard. Comments: not a disaster, this is honest malt whisky (I like it better than the Virgin Oak), but don’t expect any profoundness. 75 points - whiskyfun.com

A very reasonable price for a one litre Auchentoshan. Mellowed in bourbon, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for added richness and complexity, according to the producers, "The taste is spicy and sweet with roasted hazelnuts, brittle and toffee notes, crème caramel, candied apple and sugar almonds with a touch of liquorice stick tannins." 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A modern NAS 'multiple oak' version that would use the usual candidates, namely Oloroso, PX and Bourbon. Just like anyone else… Let's see if this is as boring as the pedigree suggests (Ed: you're too negative, S.) … Colour: gold. Nose: sawdust, cinnamon, ginger, then coconut and vanilla plus cardamom and rye bread. Then citrus that lifts it. Feels artificially aromatized but not that boring, after all, and pretty well executed. Mouth: towards young rye whisky, but with more sawdust, plank, cardboard and stale spices. I would have said young 'foreign' whisky from a young distillery, and certainly not Scotch malt whisky. Finish: medium, pretty much on wood spices and cinnamon mints and rolls. Comments: acceptable but soulless, feels made in the lab. Hope they'll never be allowed to use oak chips. 74 points - whiskyfun.com

Another duty free exclusive, this time Spanish oak and sherry casks combine with hogsheads and peat!
Tasting note: The deep glossy topaz / new copper coin colour is a pleasure to behold. Nosing finds a superb integration of maritime peat, raisin cake, pepper and cinnamon with flashes of molasses. Medium bodied, the peat and sherry arrive in perfect harmony. There’s brine, light fruit cake and a touch of orange zest while the finish is fresh, breezy and finely tuned. Sherry and peat don’t always work. This one combines the two with aplomb. If only it was higher ABV! 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Wow!! This is some nose: the peat is as hefty and cinderish as I have come across from a Bowmore in an age... a silky mouthfeel is first enriched by muscovado sugars and molasses and then a gradual but unrelenting build up in peat.

$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Introduced in 2014, this new no-age statement release is described by the producers as "A delicious balance of peat smoke, treacle, toffee and orange...strongly influenced by the time spent maturing in Spanish sherry casks.”Taking its name from the Black Rock of Islay that rises out of Loch Indaal, this otherwise Travel-Retail Exclusive is certainly one of the more intriguing Bowmore releases of late. Sherry and smoke can be a difficult combination to pull off, and although light, this works nicely and is easy to like. We've secured a very small quantity for Australian whisky lovers.

Tasting note: Striking deep copper colour - almost sienna brown. Such softly handled brushstrokes of smoke you'll rarely encounter - and quite beguiling complexity: A delicate mist of peat, though not thick enough to completely obscure underlying notes of leather, pencil shavings, cinnamon, vanilla, manuka honey, orange cake - others may find still more... Genteel delivery, again, soft, almost flaccid peat over sherry. Gains a point intensity wise at the finish with cinnamon and spice adding vibrancy. Fades with bitter dark chocolate and light orange cake. Sedate yet cleverly handled - the ideal dram when you want something peaty without assaulting your senses. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... " A friendly, full bodied dram whose bark is worse than its bite. Smoked toasted fudge is the main theme. But that would not work too well without the aid of a vague backdrop of cinnamon and marmalade. If you are looking for a gentle giant, they don't come more wimpish than this. 87.5 points- Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2015

ABV: 50%

One litre, high ABV, heavily-peated Bunnah' matured in bourbon barrels, mixed with 20 to 21 year old spirit aged in sherry butts. You can't lose!
In the not too distant past, travel exclusives were synonymous with lacklustre, even inferior bottlings, or else products that simply never hit the target on the domestic market. Instead they were repackaged and dumped for impulse purchase elsewhere. Nowadays, massive growth in duty free sales means many distilleries are competing for a share, and offering some seriously good malts. We managed to secure a small quantity of this limited release Bunnah' without traveling abroad, and are pleased to report that it certainly doesn't taste like distressed stock. On the contrary, it's a deliciously chocolatey take in the peated genre, bottled at 50% ABV with zero chill filtration. "Cruach-Mhona" (pronounced Cru-ach Vhona) means 'peat stack' in Scots Gaelic.

Tasting notes: Pale straw colour. First pass features ginger biscuit, nutmeg and cocoa before the sweet peat is drawn out: Old liquorice strap with wet wool, flashes of smouldering eucalypt and hints of varnish. Diverse. Entry is engagingly textural, slightly oily with restrained spices. Mid palate is mildly fruity before choc-chip cookie and lanolin emerge followed by a smokey choc-fudge finish. Aftertaste is finely astringent with a delicious dark chocolate farewell. A Bunnah' that will take you by surprise. Lots of smokey-cocoa notes make a whisky for chocolate lovers as much as peat freaks. 50% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... This expression includes young, heavily-peated Bunnahabhain matured in bourbon barrels, mixed with 20 to 21 year old spirit aged in sherry butts. Fragrant, peppery peat on the early nose, brine and fabric Band-Aids. Ultimately, leathery orange. Smooth and supple on the palate, with intense, smoky fresh fruit giving way to quite dry spices. The relatively long finish yields drying peat, plain chocolate, and developing licorice. 86 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith (Winter 2016)

Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.3%

Peated to 3-8ppm and finished in French and Italian red wine casks. The result is a sultry combination of red berries, salt and smoke.
Pronounced "Ae-ree ne gray-nyuh" meaning ‘Morning Sky’ in Gaelic, this is a Duty Free only Bunnah'. A relatively small number of cases are produced every year and a significant proportion of high-quality ex-red wine cask-matured whiskies of various ages are in the mix. Spritely and concentrated, the aromas evolve with strawberry-cream sponge cake, dried berries and fruit beer. The palate confirms the provenance of the casks, at first offering cocoa and barley flavours with a saline / pepper edge, however the creamy finish is the highlight - punctuated with strawberry sponge cake and red berry notes. It's tasty stuff, with a proper ABV in a big one litre format. If the price is right, you can't lose. 46.3% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... A sweet, spicy, complex Bunna but with a curiously thin shell. 89.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024

Caol Ila Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$175. 00
Bottle
$2100.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

A seductive after-dinner Caol Ila to melt into dark chocolate or blue vein cheese.

The combined effect of the Moscatel cask and European oak can work particularly well with peated Islay spirit - so long as it's not overdone. Six months finishing in the sweet Moscatel dessert wine casks has resulted in a decidedly different Caol Ila. A complex and richly flavoured whisky that maintains a fine sweet/dry balance.

Tasting note: Deep gold. Creamy, soft, sweet peat - think smokey vanilla wafer. Second pass suggests fennel / herbal tea over citrus lozenge. Oily, semi-sweet, smokey fruit'n'nut-chocolate delivery, rounded off with sufficient zest and spice to counter the moscatel input. Liquorice bullets and lanolin in the aftertaste. A seductive after-dinner Caol Ila to melt into dark chocolate or blue vein cheese. 43% Alc./Vol.

Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Bottle

ABV: 43%

Despite being the largest distillery on Islay (in terms of production anyway), nearly all of Caol Ila's output ends up in blends, so much so that until 2002 when the 12-year-old was released, independent bottlings were the only recourse for malt hunters. The distillery's gently fruity-smoky style sets it apart and comes down to the production process: "...although it receives the same spec of malt as sister distillery Lagavulin, Caol Ila’s distillation regime – longer fermentation, higher cut point, taller stills, helps to reduce the heavy phenols."
Tasting note: Pale straw colour with a subtle green blush. Aromas of soft, sweet peat - smoked trout, a hint of lanolin and some baked citrus. Rounded, pure and impeccably clean from start to finish, the palate offers semi-sweet smoky-fruity-oily flavours counterpointed by super fine tannins. Perfect balance. Finishes long with salt, smoked fish and light lanolin through the fade. A gentler, more feminine and food friendly expression that Islay lovers should get to know. 43%Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Funny to think how recently Caol Ila was an Islay giant that was kept pretty much under wraps by its owner. These days it has cemented its reputation as the island’s Mr. Consistent. This version shows its character the best, a nose that mixes seashore and grass with a distinct hint of smoked bacon. The peatiness isn’t dominant, but flows throughout the palate, scenting, lifting, and subtly changing the mix. A delicious oiliness makes it a great food whisky.

A seductive brininess and waves of oily peat-reek greet the olfactory sense. The palate entry finds a surprisingly buttery-creamy leaning along with the peat-reek; at midpalate the flavor becomes concentrated, oily, malty sweet, and only moderately peaty. Ends on a sweet malty note. Builds from stage to stage, each phase being better than the last. Best Buy.

Caol Ila (Gaelic for 'the Sound of Islay') is hidden in a quiet cove near Port Askaig on the island of Islay. Many consider this locality to be the wildest and most picturesque of the island. Situated on Loch Nam Ban, the site is ideal thanks to the abundant supply of good water. The distillery was built in 1846 by Hector Henderson - a Glasgow businessman with a keen interest in distilling. Like Bunnahabhain and Bruichladdich, the development of Caol Ila created along with it a community of its own. Without these distilleries, it's likely that there would have been little sustained human interference in these areas at all. In 1857 Henderson went out of business and the distillery was purchased by Bulloch Lade & Co. The Distillers Company Limited took over management in 1927. From this date production continued until 1972, when the entire structure of the distillery was demolished. A larger distillery was built in the same original architectural style, and production resumed in 1974.

Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

'Just about the cleanest, most uncluttered, pure,
sweet malt you will ever find...90 Points' - Jim Murray

Founded in 1824, Cardhu was built on a site where illicit distilling had been in progress since about 1813. The distillery is located in the town of Knockando, which, incidentally, has a distillery by the same name. The famous Tamdhu distillery also lies in close proximity. All three operations rest in the region informally dilineated as the 'lower Spey'. Whereas the upper, more mountainous regions which the River Spey twists through are but sparsely dotted with stills, the lower region is home to more Malt Whisky labels than any where else in Scotland. Famous as the malty middle used in the Johnnie Walker Blends, Cardhu is considered an excellent introduction for beginners to single malt whisky.

Tasting note: Bright gold colour. Aromas of pristine malt that's like fresh baked oat biscuit. Delicately peated. Some baked citrus emerges. Concentrated, semi sweet flavours include honey laced cereals (in particular, oats) and again the peat lingering underneath adding depth. Exceptionally silky, soft mouth feel. A delicious drying crispness enters at mid palate while the gently warming spices persist well into the aftertaste before concluding fresh and clean. Remains more of a crowd pleaser than an individualist, but this is a significant improvement on a previous bottling with much more vibrancy and lift. Classic. 40% Alc./Vol.

First taste April 2010 from a 150ml sample Dull gold with a pale straw hue. There’s a just touch of smoke lingering in the otherwise malt rich nose that offers other aromas of mixed nuts and dried apricots, then sweeter vanilla notes. The palate is very soft, medium weight and medium dry. Vanillan oak and sweet cereals pass over imperceptibly into a shortish aftertaste of cereals, vanilla and spice. Perfectly balanced and nothing to actually dislike here, but like a perfectly proportioned model, nothing especially individual either. Beige whisky.

Dalmore The Quartet Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Reduced from $220.00
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 41.5%

A large format Dalmore released in 2020 as part of the Travel Exclusive series. This one's matured in four woods: first-fill ex-Bourbon, 30 Year Old Apostoles sherry, Matusalem sherry and Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon casks - hence the name. Described as "An exquisite fanfare of red grapes and juicy raisins with whispers of chocolate and liquorice", it was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2021 International Spirits Competition.
Other reviews... We're granted with one more wood and some extra 1.5% vol. Wow, this is generous! Actually, this is a typical Dalmore-y recipe, with some Cabernet-Sauvignon, two old VORS-like sherries, and some first-fill bourbon yet again. We know about the ages of the sherries (30 years) but not about the age of this whisky, how bizarre isn't it. Let's hope there's a majority of bourbon. Colour: gold. Nose: once again, the nose is wonderful, this time with Corinth raisins, preserved apricots, roasted nuts, black nougat, rather heavier chestnut honey, and just a tiny touch of gunpowder or struck matches. No problems. Oh and dried figs and the usual Grand-Marnier. So far, so lovely. Mouth: not this time, things happen smoothly, with jams, bags of raisins, dried dates and figs, and rather a little chocolate and coffee, Jaffa cakes, damson plums, then the usual cloves, star anise and cinnamon. Finish: medium, this time a little leathery again, with some tobacco, tea, ginger… But we're way above the trio. The aftertaste is a little too bitter again. Comments: a much better band, I mean whisky in my opinion, even if it is not the John Coltrane Quartet, naturally. Let's ask Miles Davis and his quintet what they thinks… 84 points - whiskyfun.com

Other reviews... Crikey, I had hoped this series was named after jazz bands or something like that, but that's rather the number of different casks the whiskies have been treated with. Ouch! So this time, the 'trio' consisted in first fill Port, first fill bourbon, and first fill sherry. NAS, naturally, but let's be serious, this could work. Colour: gold. Nose: blimey, this works indeed, as Dalmore's trademark oranges are singing loud right from the start. Lovely notes of acacia honey, a few juicy golden sultanas, juicy ripe peaches, a tiny touch of mint, some mirabelles for sure, drops of IPA and custard… It is, indeed, very 'Dalmore' and perfectly fresh. Mouth: we're going down three stairs at least, this is much more on leaves and leather, with a little cardamom, chlorophyll, and really a lot of bitterness. Very bitter ale. We were having high hopes after the nose, but were disappointed. To be honest, this happens with many pedestrian 'entry-level' OBs. Finish: medium grassy, bitter. No marmalade though. Unpleasant leathery aftertaste. Comments: really, the nose was lovely, but as far as trios go, I'm afraid this was more ZZ Top than one of Bill Evans'. No jazz indeed. 78 points. - whiskyfun.com

Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$150. 00
Bottle
$1800.00 Dozen

ABV: 44%

Dalmore, located just north of Inverness, was founded in 1839. The distillery is distinguished by its use of soft, peaty water from the nearby River Averon, and its unique, flat-top stills. One of the most expensive bottles of whisky ever sold was a 62 year old Dalmore, purchased for a little over 25,000 GBP. In true Scottish fashion the bottle was finished in one evening amongst friends! Dalmore was also the first malt whisky to be exported to Australia, consumed on our shores as early as 1870.

After a double distillation, 30% of the Dalmore Cigar Malt was aged in American white oak barrels and the other 70% in sherry butts that had previously been used for Gonzalez Byass's rich, sweet Oloroso Matusalem. This whisky is a blend of 10 and 14 year old Dalmore single malts.

Other reviews... Back due to popular demand in the U.S., this new incarnation of the Cigar Malt sees the percentage of ex-oloroso ‘Matusalem’ sherry wood ramped up from 60 to 70 percent. Pass the Partagas! Spicy Christmas cake with rich sherry notes on the nose. Fragrant, with figs, cinnamon, ripe oranges, and glacé cherries. Robust sweet toffee and mango flavors, with oloroso sherry, vanilla, and lively spices. Medium to long in the finish, with ginger, treacle, and licorice. 44% Alc./Vol. 92 points

Honey-amber color and a big butterscotch aroma. Intriguingly dry and earthy, with leather, tobacco, dark chocolate and clove flavors, which accelerate with repeated sips and linger on. Add ice if you must, but avoid watering down this delicious after-dinner treat, which would be even better accompanied by a well-selected dark chocolate or two. 44% Alc./Vol. 96 points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$120. 00
Bottle
$1440.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The Dalmore story began in 1839 with Alexander Matheson who lived in the Highlands of Northern Scotland. Matheson found the rich peat and pure water sources of the Highlands to be the makings of a perfect whisky. He built a distillery in the area and produced small batches until 1886, when the Mackenzie family acquired his operation. When a member of the Mackenzie family risked his own life to save Scotland’s ruler, King Alexander III, from a charging stag, the grateful king offered a token of his appreciation by bequeathing the stag to the Mackenzie family as a symbol of valor and courage. And more than 130 years later, the stag head still appears on every bottle of The Dalmore.

Today, Dalmore distillery has ten stone warehouses and eight pot-stills, several which date back to the late 1800s. Much of the distillery burned down during World War I while occupied by the U.S. Navy, but production resumed in 1922. The production process is meticulous and includes double distillations in copper pot-stills and aging in white oak and sherry wood casks.

Other reviews... Clear golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of dark roasted nuts, toasted pine, caramelized stone fruits and orange, and vanilla tapioca with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an interesting, toasted grain, honeyed granola, and minerals finish. A delicately balanced, eminently drinkable dram. 40% Alc./Vol. 93 points - www.tastings.com

Nose: Nose: Outwardly flattish, but time and patience reveals life beyond the sherry - hints of cherry and oak. Palate: Mouth-filling and chewy. Lots of cream toffee. All the time there's a delicate, malty spice buzz. Finish: Very long and still milky, silky toffee with malt and vanilla arriving. A wave or two of sweet liquorice adds further richness. Comment: Genuinely classy stuff from the 24 carat jewel in JBB's Scottish crown. Rating: 93.
