Fitting for Christmas, Highlands Park presents a deep dark 12-year-old Single Malt from a first-filled European ex-sherry cask. The cask with the number 5886 was bottled exclusively for Germany.

The Glenfarclas Family Casks series contains single cask bottlings of various vintages since the early 1950s. For each vintage, only one cask was chosen to be among the best of its year. In order to continue to offer the full series, there have been several releases. These vintage whiskies are bottled at cask strength and make ideal gifts!

This Macallan represents the typical combination of oak and spirit for which the distillery has been known since its foundation in 1824.

Highland Park Thorfinn is part of the distillery's Warrior series. Highland Park thus honours its roots, which go back to Viking times. Thorfinn, also known as 'the Mighty', liberated the Orkney Islands from the arguably harsh rule of his brother Einar. He thus ruled as sole ruler over the whole of the Orkney Islands.

As a rule, Talisker is bottled rather young - not so this 25-year-old. It was bottled at the classic strength of 45.8% vol. At Talisker, the motto Made by the Sea stands not only for the influence that the maritime climate of the Isle of Skye has on cask ageing, but also for sustainability. The distillery has made it its mission to protect and restore the underwater worlds. In 2020, it began working with the environmental organisation Parley of the Oceans to realise its ambitious goal of protecting and restoring 100 million square metres of natural marine space. The Single Malt Whisky spent most of its maturation in Bourbon Hogshead and smaller parts in refill casks from Europe.

The Ardbeg Galileo is the successor bottle to the Alligator. Internally, the bottling was called Son of Alligator. It is again a limited bottling, this time with 12-year-old Single Malt Whisky from 1999. The malt comes from three different types of casks. One part comes from old wine casks in which Marsala was previously matured in Sicily. Their contents were mixed with whiskies from 1st and 2nd fill ex-bourbon casks.

The whisky is named Galileo, after the father of modern astronomy.

The 1990 Glenburgie is part of Gordon & MacPhail's Connoisseurs Choice series. The bottlings of the new Connoisseurs Choice series clearly represent their new line: they are single cask bottlings or batches of a few casks and the series now also includes cask strength editions and special post-maturations. The labels contain detailed information about the special characteristics. This 31-year-old malt was matured in a first-fill sherry butt.

This Bowmore matured for 30 long years in Bourbon and Sherry casks. After 30 years in the best casks, the Bowmore-typical intense Islay smoke combines harmoniously with tropical and sweet flavours.

This 29-year-old rarity from Glenfiddich belongs to the Grand Series and is matured in oak barrels before being matured in Awamori barrels from Japan. Awamori is a rather rare and special rice spirit from Okinawa. The Single Malt Whisky owes its name to the Yozakura Festival, during which the blossoming cherry trees are skilfully and gracefully staged with light.

This 18-year-old Balvenie was first matured in American oak casks and then refined in Pedro Ximenéz sherry butts.
