Tomatin 12yo 54.1%
Bourbon hogshead
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

From our new Authentic Collection release: £49.00

Thoughts from our Tasting Panel:

“A highland dram with an expected tropical fruit nature that you can identify immediately. Kiwi skin and papaya can be tasted on the palate, alongside a custard note which should suggest the kind of texture the panel encountered. Gooseberries and poached pears are on the finish, alongside apple notes which had carried through from the nose - indicating a consistent and settled dram.”

Ardmore 10yo 54.8%
Bourbon hogshead
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

From our new Authentic Collection release
£49.00

Thoughts from our Tasting Panel:

“Distilled in Ardmore, located in the village of Kennethmont, in rural Aberdeenshire, this 10yo bourbon matured whisky displays salty, maritime notes (such as fishing nets on the nose), complemented by slight fruity hints, indicated by pomegranate on the palate and pear on the finish. The peat grows in the finish too, which also has a nutty note. A warming dram that can appeal to newcomers and experienced drammers alike.”

🥃 BIMBER EX-BOURBON BATCH NO.3 - Available from Cadenhead's Campbeltown

'Bimber Distillery was founded by whisky lovers, with a mission to produce high-quality single malt whisky with character, using traditional methods that are rarely seen today.'

Set off from the shores of Kintyre and head west, past the timeless Paps of Jura and on to bountiful Islay.

On the northern shores you will find this fan favourite which is making its second appearance in the Original Collection -

This time it's a Caol Ila 10yo 100% first fill bourbon - £45.00

Nose - Maritime notes, burnt orange peel, flint.

Palate - Smoked cheese, peat and a little bit zesty.

Finish - Lemon meringue pie, cheesecake, wet smoke.

A sweet and smoky Islay - you can get your hands on it now.

What's not to like?

The Ardmore distillery itself is a large Victorian building which stands out clearly in it's gentle rural surroundings and in a way that image is very representative of the whisky itself - robust, peaty and tangy, it's no wonder our tasting panel referred to this as 'a bit of a beast'. 🥃

Having been compared by a few to a Longrow Red, it's no surprise this dram is turning heads.

Ardmore 11yo Pinot Noir since 2020 - £54.00

Nose - Meaty and candle smoke.

Palate - Strawberry jam, wine gums and cured ham.

Finish - Distant smoke, dried burnt embers, cloves.

Following the success of last nights Original Collection virtual tasting stocks are beginning to run low, so get in touch today if you want to secure yourself a bottle -

🥃 Inchgower 12yo 60% Sherry, 20% Bourbon, 20% Madeira - £55.00

The origins of Inchgower distillery aren't quite as firmly rooted as other distilleries, in fact the distillery once known as Tochieneal was originally located near Cullen before its move to the coast in 1871.

Whatever its history, location or name changes we're certainly glad it's stuck around to continue
making this beautifully spicey, nutty single malt whisky.

Nose - Honey, ripe banana, nutmeg, and tea leaves.

Palate - Ginger, tannin, spicy notes.

Finish - Fruit and nut milk chocolate with a zesty tang.

This slightly unorthodox and intriguing maturation combination offers something new to uncover with every sip.

🥃 Heaven Hill 12yo - £77.00

From Bardstown, Kentucky to Campbeltown - William Cadenhead and William Heavenhill both lend their names to this transatlantic collaboration.

Read these tasting notes and you might assume that they were in fact for a Caribbean rum, but rest assured this is good old American Bourbon.

Nose - Coconut, strawberry laces and hint of leather.

Palate - Almonds, dark chocolate, pineapple.

Finish - Dry, kiwi, Piña Colada.

🥃 Glen Elgin 12yo 100% Bourbon - £49.00

Have you attended one of our Cadenhead's Warehouse Tasting's recently? If you have, you might recall trying a dram of similar source and span...

A bread and butter, no messing about, Speysider. Sometimes all a whisky needs from a cask is bourbon and a few good years.

Nose - Syrupy apples and gooseberries

Palate - Oily, white pepper, orange syrup and melon

Finish - Hoppy with hints of almond and more orange

'No better casks for maturing whisky were ever got than the old-fashioned golden Sherry casks when second fills. Their first filling with whisky had a tendency to impart too much colour to the whisky, but as regards colour and flavour these casks, when filled with whisky a second time, were simply splendid.'

The day we have been waiting for has finally arrived...

RELEASE DAY! 🎉

While we're working hard to get your orders processed and on their way to you, why don't we take a closer look at another gem from todays release?

🥃Bourbon matured Craigellachie 13yo - 55.9%

Speyside with a twist, this dram could be described as anything but predictable. An interesting mix of sweet and smokey on the nose which continues into the palate with butterscotch and BBQ coals. A more salty/savoury finish makes this dram a bit of a rollercoaster for your taste buds and at £65.00 you can't go wrong!

Get in touch today if you are interested in a bottle (it may take us a little longer, but we will get back to you!)

09/12/2021

The next bottle to take its moment under the magnifying glass is... 🔍

🥃 Refill sherry Glentauchers 10yo 54.4%

Often times when you have a lighter Speyside whisky matured in sherry it can dominate the spirit and you lose the character of the distillery, thankfully this is not one of those time! A carefully selected refill sherry cask allows the spirit itself to remain a prominent feature with the sherry complimenting it but not overshadowing. Icing sugar and pistachios on the nose, cinnamon and dark chocolate on the palate and a hint of zesty lemon on the finish. A well balanced and keenly priced dram - £53.00

With our latest release only a few days it's time to put a few of the exceptional drams on offer under the spotlight, starting with...

🥃 Ruby port finished Tomatin 12yo - 55.9%

For Cadenheaders, Tomatin is by no means an unfamiliar sight but this one certainly stands out from the pack.
This robust Highland favourite has been finished in Ruby Port since March 2020 and its influence is apparent from the second it hits your tongue with cranberries and figs leading you effortlessly into a salty / chocolatey finish. This winter warmer can be in your glass this Christmas for only £60.00 🎉

So as always, if this sounds like the perfect tipple for you or your loved one then get in touch soon to add your name to the reservation list ahead of its release on Friday -

Competition time...

🧙‍♀ Spooky season's drawing to a close, so we've been having some fun thinking of all the halloween themed distillery names out there.

We'll start with one close to home - How does renaming Glengyle 'Glen-Ghoul' for the month of October sound? 👻

The nights are drawing darker, the leaves on the trees are getting fewer and Autumn has definitely settled in Campbeltown 🍂

Less than a week has passed since the first of our Autumn Authentic Collection releases. The Springbank 10yo, Ardmore 10yo and Heaven Hill 12yo have been and gone, and stocks are running very low on the remaining bottlings from this great release.

So if you've been humming and hawing on whether or not to grab a bottle then make your mind up soon or risk missing out! 🥃Here's what's left...

It's been a few years since our shelves have been blessed with a bottle of Blair Athol and we are more than happy to welcome it back!

Blair Athol 12yo 59.8% Bourbon Hhd - £63.50 🥃

The lucky ones among you who have had the opportunity to visit Pitlochry will know first hand just how beautiful this distillery is, and the whisky produced there is equally as pleasant.

This bottle is Calum's pick of the bunch, here's what he had this to say about it;

"If, like me, you have a bit of a sweet tooth when it comes to whisky then this is going to be right up your street. Nutty caramel notes to begin, with and a lingering fruity finish. Perfection."
