This elegant and complex single malt from The Balvenie was patiently matured for 21 long years in ex-American oak, before spending approximately four months in ex-tawny port casks.

Aromas of red berries, strawberry shortbread, cranberries with icing sugar, peppery rose wine, plum jam on rice pudding and a touch of aromatic spice. Lots of soft and creamy red berries yet crunchy wood tannins on the palate, along with Eton mess, pink wafers, toasted marshmallows, sugared almonds, Turkish delight, floral honey and a sprinkling of raisin chocolate. More red berries (especially cranberry) on the finish, with rose water, strawberry cheesecake, pink candy floss and a touch of cocoa powder.

Cask Strength Whisky is prized amongst enthusiasts as it presents the character of a Whisky in its purest form. By retaining the natural alcohol content, the resulting Whisky often has a more intense and full-bodied flavour profile.

Macallan Speymalt - Single Sherry Cask Whisky

A TheMacallan 20 Year Old Single Cask at this price point doesn't come along very often, especially as this one tastes simply divine.

This very special edition from Signatory Vintage is a complete mystery. All we know is that it has been matured for 45 years in 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts, is natural in colour and non-chill filtered.

2024 was a remarkable year for whisky, here's a small (and by no means exhaustive) round-up of some truly great releases.

Ardbeg fans were treated to a helter skelter of flavours with the Ardbeg Spectacular, and continuing on with the love of peat, we got the chance to try the fantastically unique Birnie Moss by Benriach. Johnnie Walker celebrates the upcoming 2025 Lunar New Year with the sssssuperb Johnnie Walker Blue Label - Year Of The Snake, and The Macallan gave us an inspirational tasting experience with A Night On Earth in Jerez. The Macallan Speymalt stunned us with its excellence in both quality and value, and the silky smooth, luscious Midleton Very Rare 2024 continued a legacy of craftmanship.

A stunning year full of incredible releases, we can't wait to see what 2025 brings!

This is the first chapter in a new series of whiskies, all about celebrating those who have shaped Laphroaig. Beginning with the pioneering Donald Johnston, who with his brother, created the iconic Laphroaig whisky we all know today.

Donald’s life is shown through the artwork of illustrator Bill Bragg. An award-winning artist whose work can be found across the bottle, box and booklet. Celebrating an uncompromised commitment to producing Whisky, this 33 Year Old single malt marks Donald’s story.

On the nose you get creamy fudge with honey and a touch of sea salt.
The flavour starts with stewed fruit and smooth vanilla créme brûlée and moves into the iconic smoky finish with savoury aromas of cured meat.
