Arriving today

Dougie takes another look at Glasgow 1770 with two releases: their Unpeated Cognac Cask Finish and Manzanilla Sherry Cask Fully Matured. In them he finds how a few key decisions made well can swing the opinion of many.

From the madcap mind of Mr Croucher & Co comes this extraordinary series of Obscurities & Curiosities. All immensely peculiar, spectacular and anomalous.

Great whisky, great prices and superbly presented - just what you expect from North Star Spirits.

Now to organise the next trip in person...

Just 11 bottles of this bad boy are now live. A completely forgotten about octave that sat in North Star’s warehouse (and tasted whilst Iain was away - thanks James 👏👌).
My tasting notes - some will get the movie references.
Still available in time for Xmas if ordered today.

New Adelphi's just gone live. Incredibly the Chichibu went seconds after posting it - not sure how that was possible..?

Arguably the most respected and sought after independent bottler in the world. Driven to find the finest whiskies the Adelphi team have a rigorous selection policy and will bottle only what they feel are the finest expressions from each distillery on offer. They're also a really, really nice bunch o...

What's that old saying about 'tea to China'? Well, it just would not have been right of me to open a whisky shop in Scotland and not show that other parts of the world can make a decent drop too - especially my home county.

These guys are passionate about what they make and it is quite evident in every bottle. I am rather taken with the fruit-driven finish of the IPA release but there is not a bad one.

Just back from the Kendal Whisky Festival and frankly it is fast becoming one of my favourite events and favourite group of organisers. The care, attention to detail and overall pleasure and passion that they bring to the festival, the attendees and the companies bringing their wares is really second to none. I have already pencilled it into my diary for next year and look forward to seeing many of the attendees again.

And fresh on the shelves... Single Cask Nation!!

"An American independent bottler of Scotch?!" I hear you ask with indignation and incredulity. Well yes, in fact there are several non-Scottish independent bottlers of note and Single Cask Nation are on the list (there's a book that goes into a bit more detail about all of this - it's for sale somew...
