Officially launched in 2006, this 10 year old lies at the heart of the Isle of Arran range and exudes all the honeyed richness we have come to associate with the island distillery.
Part of the Arran Cask Finishes range, this expression has spent the last few years of its maturation in a Sauternes sweet wine cask to give this single malt a honeyed sweetness.
A more recent release from the Auchentoshan distillery, replacing the previous staple 10-year-old, this 12-year-old bottling launched at the same time Auchentoshan had a dramatic rebrand back in 2011.
From the Auchentoshan distillery in the Scottish Lowlands comes a triple distilled single malt Scotch whisky aged entirely in first fill American oak casks. A light, bright whisky with plenty of vanilla sweetness at its centre - great as an aperitif dram.
This Auchroisk 10 year old is part of the Flora & Fauna Series. The Flora and Fauna series consists of 26 different Scotch single malt whiskies. Discontinued in 2010 the Flora and Fauna series boasts one of the most diverse ranges whisky. Originally these expressions were bottled at 43% volume but the final few releases were bottled at cask strength.

For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra...
Matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then 'finished' in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. To create the ideal finish the Malt Master filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. When he judged the casks to be ready, the rum was replaced with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding...
