For this Springbank, the malt is kilned for 6 hours over a peat fire and 24 hours over hot air, which ensures a harmonious and very subtle smokiness. The whisky is then distilled two and a half times. For this, double and triple distilled raw whisky is mixed together. The bottling is matured in 60% bourbon casks and 40% sherry casks. The result is a perfectly balanced Campbeltown malt with accents of malt, balanced sweetness and fruity, nutty flavours.

Talisker 18 year old comes from the Isle of Skye, which is one of the most northerly whisky regions in Scotland. The Talisker distillery has been the only distillery on the island since the early 19th century and has always been known for its whiskies with a maritime flavour and fine smokiness. The island's harsh climate, salty air and proximity to the sea have a significant influence on the maturation process and contribute to the typical coastal characteristics of the whisky. For the 18-year-old Talisker single malt, both ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak and ex-sherry casks made from European oak are used. This combination ensures a balanced combination of structure, depth and mild flavour. While the bourbon casks lend the whisky soft vanilla and woody tones, the sherry casks add more body and a subtle fruity complexity. The long maturation period allows the distillate to develop fully and embed its smoky base note in a harmonious overall picture. What is special about this Talisker is the balance between intensity, cask types and maturation time. Distillation takes place in characteristic, slightly pear-shaped stills, which are responsible for the strong yet oily style of Talisker. Combined with the careful and harmonious selection of casks and the long maturation period, the result is a Single Malt Whisky that elegantly reflects the characteristics of the Isle of Skye.

Ardbeg TEN is the right single malt for fans of smoky, intense whisky. It tastes full and intense. An aromatic smoky note hovers over it.

At the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, the entire whisky production process, from growing the barley to bottling, is carried out by hand and on site. This traditional production method means that Springbank can only produce limited quantities. This classic Single Malt Whisky is best enjoyed after dinner or with your favourite cigar, but the Campbeltown Whisky matured in sherry casks is also suitable as a dram in good company.

This Caol Ila is part of Gordon & MacPhail's 'Discovery Series'. In 2018, a revamp of the independent bottler's complete range followed, with the Discovery Series being a new addition. 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.

This Jura was first aged for 18 years in American white oak bourbon barrels. It then matured in red wine barrels from the Premier Cru in Bordeaux. In 2018, the standard Jura range was completely refocused.

Chivas Royal Salute was created by the Chivas Brother's for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The excellent signature Blend comes in a hand-finished ceramic bottle.

Ardbeg An Oa (an:oh) is inspired by the Scottish peninsula 'The Oa' on the island of Islay. Until 2017, Ardbeg fans could only access 3 standard bottlings. Now you can discover yet another whisky character from the distillery: An Oa is sweeter and spicier than its brother TEN. This edition of Ardbeg An Oa comes in a special packaging together with a limited barbecue smoker.

Like every malt from the Lowlands distillery, Auchentoshan American Oak Reserve is distilled three times to obtain a particularly soft, mild spirit. In addition, the single malt is matured exclusively in first fill bourbon casks from American distilleries, making the single malt even softer and more balanced.

The new Ardnamurchan distillery has been producing Single Malt again since 2014. The fourth release now consists of half smoky and half non-smoky spirit, which is matured in both Bourbon and sherry casks. Ardnamurchan also relies on renewable resources. Less than two miles from the distillery, electricity is generated from a river, which is also used for the cooling water, and the wood chips for the biomass boiler also come from the surrounding, sustainably planted forests. The bottle for this bottling was also made from 54% recycled glass before being filled with the whisky, which is neither chill-filtered nor coloured. Please note: due to the distillery's blockchain process and so that each bottling can be accurately tracked, the batches may vary slightly in cask composition and the blockchain number of the QR code.
