Surf and Turf anyone?

June 20, 2018

Two new releases to shout about today; one from the hills of Speyside the other from Islay's coast.

Our sixth batch from the turf of Speyside's Benrinnes distillery is a 26 Year Old. The Benrinnes distillery was completely rebuilt in the 1950s and is long associated with Crawford blended Scotch whisky. Nothing of the original distillery remains today, and the partial triple distillation process that used to be the norm has been abandoned recently. Just 164 bottles at 50.8% of this release have been filled.

A new batch of Laphroaig, our third so the label says, comes from the surf of Islay. Once again the lads from Living Room Whisky are immortalised on our Laphroaig label. This latest release is a 13 Year Old and we've filled 916 bottles at 49.7% abv

This duo of delights are available from fine retailers at the following recommended retail prices:

Benrinnes Batch 6, 26 Year Old - £118.95
Laphroaig Batch 3, 13 Year Old - £88.95

Off-trade/on-trade enquiries should be directed to our UK distributor, Maverick Drinks.

A Trio of Batch #1 Releases and a Handful of New Batches

June 12, 2018

Say hello to three completely new Boutique-y releases, as well as a few delicious new batches of old favourites...

We figured we'd start the show with a show-stopper in every sense - it's our very first bottling of Dufftown single malt, and it's a 40 year old expression! Look closely at the label and you may spot a few familiar faces... Only 164 bottles were produced.

How about another first, eh? We've also released batch 1 of Glendullan single malt! It's a youthful 7 year old single malt from the Glendullan distillery, bottled at 51.7% ABV. Just 387 bottles were produced, each adorned with a label featuring a scene at the Space Olympics. Don't ask why. We barely know either.

A third first, you say?! Of course! Behold - the first batch of our Blended Malt #5! Those of you with an extensive knowledge of Boutique-y labels might recognise some of the characters on this 21 year old whisky's label as they enjoy some delicious pie. A release of 449 bottles.

We've also got some new batches of top notch whiskies, including batch 8 of Springbank single malt! It's a deliciously sherried 21 year old expression, with a core of earthy smoke hiding beneath the sweetness. 911 bottles were produced.

Up next is batch 5 of Glenrothes single malt, this time matured for 20 years before we got our hands on it for bottling. Just 225 bottles were released, so if you simply adore gorgeous Glenrothes whisky, you'll want to grab one while you can.

Finally, we've gone and bottled up another batch of Strathmill single malt! Sitting at 21 years old, this whisky boasts plenty of fruity esters, oloroso sweetness and a hint of charred oak. A release of 401 bottles.

These marvellous whiskies are available from fine retailers at the following recommended retail prices:

Dufftown Batch 1, 40 Year Old - £238.95
Glendullan Batch 1, 7 Year Old - £39.95
Blended Malt #5 Batch 1, 21 Year Old - £87.95

Ten New Batches of Indie Boutique-y Whisky

May 30, 2018

We've got a ten new batches of single malt Scotch whiskies to share with you today - so let's get stuck in!

We've been very busy indeed getting a whole load of brand new batches from top Scotch whisky distilleries, including a few that we haven't bottled in quite a while. Well now is the time to enjoy the fruits of our labour as we show off ten new bottlings!

So, let's start with a bang - 29 year old Macallan! Oh yes. We've managed to get our hands of an absolutely brilliant 29 year old single malt from the Speyside-based distillery, and it's been bottled at 47.3% ABV with an outturn of only 217 bottles.

Continuing on the Speysider theme, behold our fourth batch of Auchroisk! A youthful though flavoursome expression from Auchroisk, matured for just 7 years before we bottled it up at 52.1% ABV. 502 bottles were produced.

Everyone is talking about Islay these days, what with Fèis Ìle 2018 happening and all. It only seems right that we unveil our fourteenth batch of Ardbeg! This smoky treat was aged for 12 years before being bottled at 49.2% ABV, with 1,928 bottles being made.

After it's first batch, we heard a call for "More Dalmore!" Well, we're more than happy to oblige! We've bottled another batch of Dalmore single malt, this time aged for 14 years before being bottled at 51.3% ABV. 811 bottles are ready to find new homes.

It's been a few years since we bottled up some Blair Athol single malt, so we decided to change that! Observe, it's our second batch of Blair Athol, aged for 17 years and bottled at 48.8% ABV. Only 502 of these bottles were produced.

Speaking of whiskies that we haven't bottled in a while, we've also managed to bottle our second batch of Inchmurrin single malt from the Loch Lomond distillery! It's a 23 year old expression, bottled at 47.3% ABV with an outturn of 285 bottles.

We've also bottled our fifth batch of single malt from the Strathmill distillery. At this point, we may have ran out of 'Goldilocks & the Three Bears'-based puns to announce these whiskies, so we'll just stick with "It's yummy". Batch five is 11 years old, bottled at 51.1% ABV and with an outturn of 702 bottles.

Feast your eyes upon the fantastic Fettercairn that we've just bottled! This one is 21 years old, bottled at 48.6% ABV with 669 bottles produced. Packed to the brim with caramelised fruit and vanilla-rich barley, this one.

Goat and whisky enthusiasts will be more than happy to here that we've bottled our second batch of Inchgower single malt! This one is 17 years old, and has been bottled at 47.4% ABV with an outturn of 225 bottles.

And finally, say hello to our fourth batch of Linkwood single malt! It's 11 years old, and has been bottled at 51.2% ABV with an outturn of 956 bottles. We're still rather pleased with the Ship of Theseus/Only Fools and Horses/actual whisky story referencing label.
