With the Ardbeg Blasda, the limited edition of a slightly smoky malt (8ppm smoke) was released in 2008. Blasda in Gaelic stands for sweet and delicious. With little smoke, the more subtle flavours of Ardbeg come to the fore.

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan (pronounced Träi Wan) is the name of a well-known beach on the island of Islay. The locals also call it 'The Singing Sand' because the sand seems to sing under your feet when you walk on it. The 2nd batch of the bottling matured for 19 years in American oak casks and Oloroso sherry casks.

This Lagavulin bottling is part of the Distillers Edition of the Classic Malts of Scotland. The single malt matured for at least three months in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The powerful, dry and maritime character of Lagavulin is complemented here by rich, sweet flavours from a Pedro Ximenez cask.

With the 30-year-old Bladnoch, the southernmost distillery in Scotland presents the oldest bottling in the distillery's history to date. The Single Malt was matured for 30 years in Oloroso Sherry and Mosacatel casks and thus still comes from the previous owners of the distillery. The Bladnoch Distillery was closed and sold in 1993. The casks for the 30-year-old come from the pre-1993 stocks and are therefore very rare. Eight years later, the distillery was then operated by new owners until 2009, which was followed by another 8-year closure. Since 2017, Bladnoch has been working at full speed again and produces about 250,000 litres of alcohol annually.
