LAGAVULIN 16YRS OLD SINGLE MALT
The Islay representative in the ‘Classic Malts’ series is a deep, dry and exceptionally peaty bruiser. Probably the most pungent of all Islay malts, Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many followers. Runner Up in TWE’s Whisky of the Year.

More like Lapsang Souchong tea than Lapsang Souchong! One of the smokiest noses from Islay. It’s big, very, very concentrated, and redolent of iodine, sweet spices, good, mature Sherry and creamy vanilla. Stunning. Very thick and rich. A massive mouthful of malt and Sherry with good fruity sweetness, but also a wonderful sweetness. Big, powerful peat and oak.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old is distilled the same way today as when Ian Hunter invented it more than 75 years ago. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only in Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavor.
Caol Ila 12 Year Old is of medium weight, but still packing plenty of potent phenols, this is a refined, powerful dram with a compensating oiliness. A balanced, peaty beauty..
Brenne is the world’s first single malt aged exclusively in both new French Limousin Oak barrels and Cognac casks. Founded by former ballerina turned whisky entrepreneur, Allison Parc, Brenne was started with Allison’s small life savings and a big dream to show terroir (a sense of place in the smell and taste) is possible when making great single malt whisky. She created Brenne from seed to spirit, with a third-generation Cognac maker at this family farm-distillery in the heart of Cognac, France.
Bowmore is Islay’s Oldest Distillery and home to the world’s oldest whisky maturation warehouse, the No.1 Vaults. It’s in this legendary warehouse that Bowmore Whisky has been meticulously matured by Master Distillers for over 240 years. The first recorded mention of Bowmore Distillery dates from 1779, but speak kindly to a few of the older islanders and they’ll maybe whisper a rumor or two that distilling started here some time before that. Certainly Bowmore’s founder, the merchant David Simson, bought the land in 1766. Exactly what happened in the years in between is anyone’s guess!
Penderyn’s Celt single malt, in a fancy newly designed bottle. This expression from the Welsh distillery is treated to a finish in casks that previously held peated whisky, imparting elegant wisps of smoky peat alongside the creamy vanilla and biscuity barley at its core.
This richly textured dram is matured in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon oak casks for 21 years. Over two decades of resting in oak has added an overall richness; wood exerts its influence but doesn’t overwhelm.
The Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1998 is like embarking on a transatlantic journey from the world of classic bourbon, to the sherry bodegas in Jerez, both finessed with virgin new charred oak. Rich with vibrant fruits, smooth toffee, and ginger, this whisky’s eloquence is a symbol of our elegant, experimental style.
Established in 1812 by Captain William Fraser, Royal Brackla is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries. It is known as ‘The King’s Own Whisky’, becoming the first ‘Royal’ scotch in 1833. The whiskies’ rich, elegant character comes from our time honoured production techniques, and our Master Blender’s obsession with maturation and finishing in the finest selected wood from America and Jerez.
For peat lovers, Ardbeg 10 Year Old is probably the highest-quality ‘entry-level’ single malt on the market, and the distillery many Islay connoisseurs would choose as their favourite. A whirlwind of peat and complex malty flavours.
This Penderyn has been matured in bourbon wood before finishing in ex-Madeira casks. Bottled at a slightly lower strength than the standard Penderyn Madeira Wood for even easier drinkability.
A whisky coming into its prime. This 15-year-old single malt, which spends its final three years in oloroso sherry casks, is elegantly balanced between this sherry influence and the distillery’s fruit and peat characteristics – including a siren-like whisper of tropical fruit that will delight fans of older-style Bowmore. Now is the time to try Bowmore 15 Year Old, which reflects the best of the distillery’s output from around the new millennium.
A delicious no-age-statement dram from Glenmorangie, some of the spirit in Signet has been made using a unique heavily roasted chocolate malt that really beefs up the rich flavours. The packaging is impressive, too.
