A single grain whiskey, aged first in American Bourbon barrels and finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. This single grain will blast the cobwebs off the Irish whiskey category.

Tamnavulin Double Cask was the first release from the distillery since the 1990s! Over the past 20 or so years, the distillery changed hands from Invergordon Distillers to Whyte & MacKay, closed a few years later and reopened in 2007. Much of its single malt output is used in blends, but a few casks of single malt would sneak out as indie bottlings to allow us a rare taste of Tamnavulin - but now they've got their very own expression! They initially mature it in American oak barrels before treating them to a finishing period in Sherry casks. Nose: Chocolate mousse, extra thick double cream with a dusting of brown sugar, stewed apples and blackberries. Palate: Christmas pudding, chocolate brownies, yellow plum and toffee-coated barley. Finish: Spiced rum sweetness lingers on the finish.

One of the most distinct whiskies from the Highland's, Clynelish is renowned for it's notes of light brown sugar, cooking toffee and a delicate perfumed and waxy characteristic. The initial sweetness is complimented by a mouth coating oily/waxyness and just a touch of tangy sea-air salt.

Hog’s is an authentic Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that takes its classic texture and sweet taste from the freshwater springs that have filtered through the limestone shelf that runs through the Southern States of America. The deep red colour comes from the charred barrels in which it has aged. This process was introduced in the early 1800’s as a means of disinfecting the barrels to ensure no contamination of the spirit. Once used the barrels are never reused by Law for the maturation of Bourbon.

Named after the legendary, picturesque and mystical Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, this is a 5 year old Loch Ness Blend Whisky

The whiskey is distilled in large copper stills, then matured in two different woods to bring you a complexity that is waiting to be experienced. The Busker Single Malt is a deep golden whiskey. It begins with an arrangement of fruit, which gently leaves space to an explosion of pine essence and malt biscuit. The palate is very intense, with rich, chocolate notes. The whiskey concludes with a sweet and creamy finish.

Commercial description At just 5 years old, this feisty and intensely powerful smoky whisky, is untamed by age. From elusive sea creatures to eerie hillside half-breeds, the Ardbeg Distillery has a history of exploring inexplicable legends in their bottlings. However, this next unearthly expression is said to have emerged from the peat bogs of Islay themselves. Ardbeg Wee Beastie has been described as a ‘monster of a dram’… with a formidable bite. Matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, Wee Beastie bristles with intense aromas of cracked black pepper, sappy pine resin and sharp tangs of smoke. An explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar. As savoury meats sink into the palate, the long salty mouth coating finish slinks away. Aroma: Very fresh, herbal, with hints of vanilla, pear, freshly cracked black pepper and honey-glazed ham. Rich Turkish coffee, sappy pine resin. With water, more herbal notes like vetiver and fennel, along with aniseed, green apple and leather. Taste: A rich, explosive mouthfeel with lots of chocolate, tar, creosote and smoked bacon, followed by a burst of antiseptic lozenges, eucalyptus and more aniseed. Finish: A long, salty and mouthcoating finish with hints of cocoa, fudge and savoury meats. Casks: Ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry Alc 47.4%

Teeling Blackpitts is the first peated single malt from the team in Dublin, named after the Blackpitts area just behind the distillery, which just happened to be rather well-known for its malting houses. Interestingly, this expression is triple distilled, which the Teeling folks say helps allow the barbeque smoke elements from the whiskey's flavour profile stand out. It was aged in a combination of bourbon and Sauternes casks, helping to bring some sweetness to this peaty treat.
