More Octomore and more!

August 7, 2018

We've got four new releases to shout about today. Whoop! A heavily peated Octomore, two Speysiders from Benriach and Glen Moray, and a single grain from Loch Lomond.

First up is our second batch of Octomore, a 10 Year Old bottled at 48.8% abv. We've filled 1,195 bottles of this ultra heavily peated Islay single malt from the Bruichladdich distillery. Expect medicinal notes alongside salty sea spray.

Our first (in this announcement) whisky from Speyside hails from the Benriach distillery. Batch 5 is a 6 Year Old bottled at 49.7% abv, and just 377 bottles have been filled. This ain't your usual Speyside malt though, as it's a peated Benriach, mmmm very interesting!

It's been five long years since our last batch from the Glen Moray distillery, so we're pretty excited about our latest batch. Our second batch is a 10 Year Old bottled at 48.6% abv. Just 376 bottles of this charming Speysider have been filled. If you like banana bread, you're going to love this!

A fourth batch of single grain from the ever adaptable Loch Lomond distillery is our final new release today. There are 502 bottles of our 21 Year Old bottled at 48.4% abv. Think of buttered corn on the cob with a dusting of black pepper. It's dangerously drinkable!

These tantalising treats are available from fine retailers at the following recommended retail prices:

Octomore Batch 2, 10 Year Old - £174.95
Benriach Batch 5, 6 Year Old - £54.95
Glen Moray Batch 2, 10 Year Old - £54.95
Loch Lomond Batch 4, 24 Year Old - £49.95

Double Bunnahabhain!

July 17, 2018

We've got not one but two new batches of Bunnahabain being released today, alongside whisky from Inchgower and Port Dundas!

First up we've got Batch 5 of our Bunnahabhain bottlings - this one is an 11 year old expression from the Islay-based distillers, bottled at 49.5% ABV. Though youthful, this is a complex dram boasting winter spice, salted peanut and flapjack notes. 1,091 bottles were produced.

Now, if you got quite a lot of enthusiasm for Bunnahabhain (enthusihabhain?), perhaps you're already looking forward to Batch 6. Well, surprise! Batch 6 is already here! It's a 26 year old single malt, bottled at 41.9% ABV with a small run of only 129 bottles. Grab one while you can!

With the Bunnahabhain boffins satiated, we look to Speyside for something a little different - our third batch of Inchgower! This 14 year old from Inchgower is packed to the brim with orchard fruit and honey, making it a great dram for the warm summer evenings we're experiencing at the moment. 1,096 bottles were produced.

And finally, our newest batch of single grain from Port Dundas has arrived too! A wonderfully creamy 8 year old single grain from the sadly closed distillery in Glasgow. 521 bottles were produced, bottled at 53.6% ABV.

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

Bunnahabhain Batch 5, 11 Year Old - £73.95
Bunnahabhain Batch 6, 26 Year Old - £159.95
Inchgower Batch 3, 14 Year Old - £54.95
Port Dundas Batch 2, 8 Year Old - £34.95

The Reservoir Four have arrived on our shores!

July 10, 2018

Along with some top-notch new batches, we've got a quartet of brand new bottlings from Reservoir Distillery!

We've got plenty of new releases for you lucky folks today, so grab your glasses and get ready for some deliciousness - including four different expressions all from the same distillery...

The aforementioned distillery is the Reservoir Distillery in Virginia, and the four expressions explore the profiles of three major grains used in bourbon production. The initial three are each made with a single grain - there's a 100% Corn bottling, a 100% Rye bottling and a 100% Wheat bottling - while the Bourbon is a combination of these three grains. Each expression has been aged for 2 years before we bottled it up.

We've also got another first for you today - our first blend of Scottish and Japanese whisky! This 21 year old expression is made from Scottish and Japanese malt and grain whiskies, and has been bottled at 43% ABV. 1,100 bottles were produced, each featuring a dragon and a lion on the label, seemingly getting ready to fight. Honestly though, if a fight between a lion and a dragon did happen, the dragon would clearly win. It can spit fire.

With all these new whiskies, perhaps it's time for something old? Very old, perhaps? With that in mind, take a peek at our fourth batch of Miltonduff, which has been aged for 40 years! Boasting a dark hue and an ABV of 47%, there are only 478 bottles of this whisky, so grab one while you can!

The second batch of our Blended Malt #3 ready to hit the stage! This wonderful 'teaspooned' malt is a 21 year old expression, made almost entirely with whisky from one distillery (alongside a touch of whisky from a different distillery). 1,323 bottles were produced.

We've also got the newest batch of Ardmore single malt bottled up for you to sink your teeth into! This time, we've bottled a 14 year old whisky from the distillery, and it's definitely one for those of you who love your peaty treats. A release of 582 bottles.

And finally, say hello to our latest batch of Glen Elgin! This 22 year old single malt is an enjoyably spicy tipple, with enough banoffee pie notes to balance it all out. We've got 434 bottles ready for you to crack open.
