Speyside

The name of Cardhu Amber Rock was inspired by warm and liquid amber. Double maturation in bourbon casks gave the malt particularly strong vanilla aromas.

The 12-year-old Sherry Oak was for a long time an integral part of the Macallan range. In recent years, it has only been available in a few markets. In 2018, it was relaunched as part of the new 'Trilogy Series'. The Sherry Oak, Double Cask and Triple Cask malts highlight the different sherry influences on the whiskies.

This bottling was matured entirely in sherry casks. Macallan works closely with the Spanish producers. Before the seasoned casks arrive in Scotland, they are stored for 18 months in their country of origin, Spain.

Glenrothes Discovery matured for eleven years in sherry casks. In 2018, Gordon & MacPhail relaunched its entire range with the addition of the 'Discovery Series'. All their bottlings differ in Taste and due to their production. Thus, there are the three flavour profiles bourbon cask, sherry cask and smoky (smoky). The different characters differ in their colour design: green = bourbon cask; purple = sherry cask; white/grey = smoky.

The Tamdhu distillery matures its Single Malts entirely in sherry casks. The 12-year-old was relaunched in 2018. It replaces the previous 10-year standard bottling. The elegant glass bottle is meant to be reminiscent of the Victorian era.

The new 12-year-old Benriach was matured in three different types of casks: In addition to Bourbon and sherry casks, port casks were also used to create a multi-layered malt. The design of the bottle and the tube are based on the original Benriach from the time before its closure in the 90s.

This Benrinnes belongs to the Flora & Fauna series. Under this series, the owner Diageo fills selected casks from a few distilleries, each individually as a Single Malt. The Flora & Fauna series is a true enrichment of the whisky scene and is regarded by collectors as an original bottling if there are no other original bottlings.

Cardhu means something like black rock in Gaelic. The distillery's bottlings are produced in a relatively long distillation process.

Glenfiddich Fire & Cane belongs to the Experimental Series, for which Malt Master Brian Kinsman breaks new ground with the Glenfiddich Malt. The 4th bottling is a peated bottling that was first matured in American bourbon casks. The Single Malt was then matured in Latin American rum casks.

Glenfiddich Our Original Twelve is the world's best-selling single malt whisky and an important cornerstone of the distillery's range. It is matured in selected Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks and impresses with its soft and slightly fruity character. In 2019, Glenfiddich relaunched its core range with a new bottle design. The title 'Our Original Twelve' emphasises the long tradition of the Speyside distillery. This message has also been transferred to the bottle design: the V engraving on the bottle symbolises the 'Valley of the Deer' (Glenfiddich in Gaelic), the distillery's place of origin. The bottles are also triangular (triangular) in shape because Single Malt is made from three core ingredients (water, yeast and grain) and because the bottles feel like you are shaking hands with a good friend.

Tamnavulin Double Cask was first matured in former bourbon casks before it received its post-maturation in former sherry casks. Tamnavulin was built in 1966 in the rural village of Tomnavoulin, Scotland. Almost three decades later, it was closed again. After an extensive renovation, the reopening was celebrated in 2007. This bottling was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the distillery.

Tomintoul has special heat exchangers that make the distillation process particularly energy-saving. The 16-year-old standard bottling matured in former bourbon casks.

Old Ballantruan is produced at the Tomintoul Distillery in Speyside. It owes its name to the Ballantruan spring of the same name in the Cromdale Hills, near the village of Tomintoul. Untypical for this region, heavily peated malt with 55ppm smoke content is used to produce this Single Malt.
