GLEN ORRIN 30 YEAR OLD BLENDED WHISKY 40% ABV / 70cl

GLENFIDDICH 15 YEAR OLD AND 12 YEAR OLD SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Each 40% ABV / 70cl Qty: 2 Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market.That early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year.

SPRINGBANK 1997 12 YEAR OLD CLARET WOOD CAMPBELTOWN SINGLE MALT Distilled: 05/1997Bottled: 02/2010Matured for 9 years in Refill Bourbon Casks and finished for 3 years in Fresh Claret CasksOne of 9360 bottles54.4% ABV / 70cl There are very few distilleries left in Scotland that have the capacity to carry out 100% of the whisky making process onsite, but Springbank can make that claim. Situated in Campbeltown (the former whisky capital of the world) the distillery produces three distinct styles of single malt: lightly peated Springbank, heavily peated Longrow, and triple distilled, unpeated Hazelburn. Despite being a relatively small distillery, Springbank has cultivated a global cult following, with older expressions such as their legendary Local Barley series commanding eye-watering sums at auction.

KNOCKANDO 1968 EXTRA OLD RESERVE 75CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1968Bottled: 199143% ABV / 75cl The distillery was founded in 1898 by John Thompson, and the acclaimed Whisky architect Charles Doig designed the site. The name of the distillery comes from the Gaelic 'Cnoc-an-dhu', meaning 'little black hill', quite probably a homage to the hills that surround the distillery. Please see additional photos.

MACALLAN GOLD DOUBLE CASK SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70cl There are few distilleries in the world quite so revered as Macallan. Nestled in the heart of the Speyside region, the rich spirit that runs from their “curiously small stills”, and their penchant for Spanish Sherry casks have proven to be a match made in Heaven, delighting the tastebuds of whisky connoisseurs around the globe. With demand far outstripping supply, they embarked upon one of the most ambitious distillery upgrades of all time, investing £140 million in an ultra-modern still house and visitor centre that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, and is home to a whopping 36 stills capable of churning out around 15 million litres of spirit every year. Even so, getting your hands on a bottle can still be tricky, with new releases selling out as soon as they hit the shelves, and older examples regularly setting records at auction.

JOHNNIE WALKER 1820 50 YEARS OF DIAGEO IN KILMARNOCK BLENDED WHISKY 40% ABV / 70cl When John Walker opened a grocery, wine and spirits shop in the Ayrshire town of Kilmarnock in 1820, he had no idea that it was the start of a journey that would end up with the biggest selling Whisky brand in the world bearing his name. The Johnnie Walker Striding Man, the square bottle and the label, placed at exactly 24° would become an iconic sight. Not just in the Whisky world, but in the mainstream as well. Johnnie Walker is now owned by drinks giant Diageo and carefully watched over by Master Blender Dr Emma Walker (no relation) who took over after the legendary Jim Beveridge retired in 2022, after 40 years with the company.

MORRISON BOWMORE 27 YEAR OLD MILLENNIUM EDITION BLENDED WHISKY 40% ABV / 70cl

OBAN 14 YEAR OLD 1L HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 1LDespite being a well-known brand, and one of Diageo’s Classic Malts, Oban distillery is a relatively small operation, producing only around 700,000 litres per year. Only a small portion of the whisky made there is used for blending, with most bottled as a single malt in the form of their official 14 Year Old, and the Montilla Fino Sherry double matured Distillers Edition.

LAGAVULIN DISTILLERY EXCLUSIVE CASK STRENGTH 2010 RELEASE ISLAY SINGLE MALT 52.5% ABV / 70cl The Islay distillery of Lagavulin first gained notoriety in 1862 when it was acquired by the well-known blender, John Logan Mackie. He then passed the reins to his nephew Peter, who is credited with the creation of the highly regarded White Horse Blend. This blend was so successful that by 1924 the Mackie group changed their name to White Horse Distillers, before becoming part of the DCL group a few years later. Lagavulin single malt was still produced under the White Horse Distillers name until the late 1990s when it became part of the Diageo conglomerate.The most famous advocate of Lagavulin is probably fictional character, Ron Swanson, from hit US sit-com Parks & Recreation. However, Nick Offerman (the actor who plays Ron) must also enjoy a drop, as he has partnered up with the distillery to create his own limited-edition whisky.

AUCHENTOSHAN 21 YEAR OLD LOWLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Auchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt. Similarly unusual is its use of triple distillation to produce a purer spirit that’s light and mildly fruity. Situated just outside Clydebank, the distillery was lucky to survive the 1941 blitz relatively unscathed. Only one of its warehouses was damaged by a bomb blast, and another near miss provided a blast crater that later became the distillery’s picturesque pond.

PORT CHARLOTTE 2010 PC6 CUAIRT-BEATHA ISLAY SINGLE MALT Distilled: 2001Bottled: 2007Bottle Number: 5995 / 1800061.6% ABV / 70cl Given Islay’s peaty reputation, the assumption might be that the islanders themselves favour big smoky whiskies. However, it’s actually Bruichladdich with its traditionally unpeated style that has earned the reputation as the local favourite. It’s only relatively recently that the distillery has dabbled in peated whisky with their Port Charlotte range, as well as the ultra-heavily peated Octomore releases.

GLENLIVET 18 YEAR OLD SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl One of the very first distilleries in Scotland to be granted an official licence, after the passing of the licencing act in 1823, Glenlivet distillery has become synonymous with Speyside whisky. So much so, that at one point 28 other distilleries in the area adopted “Glenlivet” as a suffix to their own brand in order to piggyback on the reputation Glenlivet had built for itself. Although that practise has fallen by the wayside in recent years some independent bottlers still use it.The Glenlivet brand is now one of the most recognisable in the world, and despite the distillery undergoing an expansion and upgrade (beginning) in 2010, their iconic 12-Year-Old expression still had to be discontinued for a few years before production was able to catch up with demand.

GLENFIDDICH SPECIAL RESERVE SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70cl Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends.

BALVENIE CREATION OF A CLASSIC STORY #04 SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Balvenie is part of the Grant’s family and sits beside its sister distilleries, Glenfiddich and Kininvie, in the Speyside burgh of Dufftown. Established in 1892, just a few years after Glenfiddich, Balvenie has spent its life supplying the heart of the Grant’s blend. In fact, it wasn’t until nearly 100 years later, when Kininvie was built, that it was able to seriously market its own single malt.One of very few distilleries to retain its own malting floor, Balvenie is slightly unusual for a modern Speyside whisky in that it still uses a small percentage of peated malt to make its spirit. While the new make it produces is far from smoky, this small amount of peat gives it a distinctive character that has helped it become one of the best-selling malt whiskies in the world.

As with most distilleries, much of its life was spent producing blending stock, but in the late 1980s it began to appear as a single malt. Initially this single malt output was mostly sherry matured and so lightly peated as to be barely perceptible, placing Bunna’ firmly in the minority of Islay whiskies. However, since its takeover by Distell in 2013 around 20% of the spirit produced there is now heavily peated, with these expressions bearing the name “Moine” (the Gaelic word for peat).

MORTLACH 1957 GORDON & MACPHAIL PRIVATE COLLECTION SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 28/01/1957Bottled: 05/2007Matured in First Fill Sherry Butts #585 & 586Bottle Number: 165 / 51443.5% ABV / 70cl Dubbed “the Beast of Dufftown” by whisky writer, Dave Broom, Mortlach uses a complicated distillation process that minimises copper contact and produces a sulphurous “meaty” spirit that is perfect for blending (not unlike Benrinnes and Dailuaine). Until relatively recently, the only way to experience it in single malt form would have been the 16-Year-Old Flora & Fauna, or the occasional independent bottling. This was because most of its output was used for Diageo’s Johnnie Walker blend. However, that all changed in 2014 when Mortlach introduced its own core range of single malt expressions.

ABERFELDY 25 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70clAberfeldy is a sweet, rich, honied whisky that has provided the heart of the Dewar’s blend since it was built by the company in 1896. It wasn’t until the late 1990s that Aberfeldy began to appear in limited quantities as a single malt, but since then they have greatly expanded their range, and are on their way to becoming an established name.

In today’s money that’s about £69,000, so still a bargain. The distillery’s microclimate ensures one of the lowest Angel’s Shares in Scotland, allowing Glenfarclas to release staggeringly old expressions that still boast eye watering ABVs, and their (almost) exclusive use of European oak Sherry Casks results in a whisky that’s resinous and rich in dried fruit notes.

BUNNHABHAIN 16 YEAR OLD OLOROSO SHERRY CASK FEIS ILE 2007 ISLAY SINGLE MALT Bottled: 01/05/2007Matured in Oloroso Sherry Cask #276One of 190 bottles45% ABV / 70cl Purpose built in 1881 by William Baxter, Bunnahabhain distillery on the northeast coast of Islay featured housing for its workers, as well as its own pier for ease of transporting whisky and materials to and from the mainland. As with most distilleries, much of its life was spent producing blending stock, but in the late 1980s it began to appear as a single malt. Initially this single malt output was mostly sherry matured and so lightly peated as to be barely perceptible, placing Bunna’ firmly in the minority of Islay whiskies. However, since its takeover by Distell in 2013 around 20% of the spirit produced there is now heavily peated, with these expressions bearing the name “Moine” (the Gaelic word for peat).

GLENFIDDICH 21 YEAR OLD WEDGWOOD DECANTER 75CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 75cl Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market. That early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year.
