Named the Best Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky of 2020 by the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and ranked third in the Top 100 spirits of the year. Try The Glenrothes 18 Year Old and you’ll be enormously impressed by this whisky’s exquisite character and balance.

A rich and full nose, with a strong character, there are notes of dried fruit, chocolate and herbs. Sweet and exceptionally well rounded. Toffee and barley sugar with a hint of smoke and peat. Medium to long finish.

From the producer: Spicy and savoury, Ardcore grips the senses with waves of marmite, burnt toast, chicory charcoal and infused coffee grounds making for a mosh pit in the glass. Like a safety pin through the septum, a classic Ardbeg herbal top note is present, while swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses loiter backstage.

A creamy Highland single malt from the Glencadam Distillery, dubbed American Oak Reserve. This expression was matured in bourbon barrels, imparting their gloriously vanilla-rich, softly fruity, enjoyably spicy notes to Glencadam's expertly crafted spirit, resulting in a wonderfully enjoyable dram.

The GlenDronach 18 year old Allardice is named after the distillery’s founder, James Allardice. The Highlander was matured completely in Oloroso sherry casks, and was originally released in 2009 following the distillery changing hands back in 2008. An exceptional fruity sherried single malt.

Although Port Dundas closed its doors in 2010, there are select, rare remaining stocks. Muckety-Muck is one of those rare single grain scotches boasting 24 years of aging and is the first single grain scotch for the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co.

Ardbeg's Wee Beastie is a youthful single malt drawn from a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled up at five years of age. Peaty notes sit at the fore for this one, with oak somewhat taking a back seat, since...

In 2018, the Isle of Jura whisky range got a rather snazzy relaunch, which included this tasty 12 year old single malt. Distilled on the eponymous Inner Hebridean island, this expression was initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before being moved over to Oloroso sherry casks for a finishing period. A great example of Jura's delicious malts, more than suitable as an after dinner dram.
