The Johnnie Walker Blue Label also contains very old malt whiskies. It belongs to the absolute top and can compete with any Single Malt. 80% malt content speaks for an incomparable complexity of flavours. At the same time, it remains soft, warm and mild. The Cities of the Future series was designed in collaboration with the artist Luke Halls. Each bottle bears a vision of the future of the metropolises of Berlin, London or Mars on the label.

This Balvenie Single Barrel bottling emphasises the influence of the cask on the whisky's Taste. Oak casks are natural products and each one is different. This means that every whisky has a different Taste. For this bottling, Balvenies Malt Master selected only casks with a sweet vanilla and oak flavour. All bottles are labelled with the cask number and the bottle number.

This Dalwhinnie bottling is part of the Distillers Edition of the Classic Malts of Scotland. The Single Malt from the Scottish Highlands matured for at least three months in Oloroso sherry casks. Initially matured in American and European oak refill casks, a second maturation process followed in old Oloroso and recarbonised American oak casks, with heavily recarbonised new AO ends. This made this special Dalwhinnie a full-bodied Single Malt with tropical notes of Oloroso sherry.

This 12-year-old Glenfarclas Single Malt Whisky is the first in the Highland distillery's new The Trinity Vintage Series. It is matured entirely in Oloroso sherry casks that have been resting for a long time in the old Glenfarclas cask cellar and is bottled neither chill-filtered nor coloured. Glenfarclas means valley of the green grassland, which is due to the idyllic location of the traditional distillery. The Trinity Vintage Series combines the precious sherry casks from the Dunnage Warehouse and is a tribute to the traditional distilling skills of Glenfarclas.

The 15-year-old Glenallachie from the core range matured in Pedro Ximénez & Oloroso sherry puncheons and hogsheads. Under the direction of Billy Walker, the former Master Distiller of famous distilleries, new life has been breathed into the Glenallachie distillery. A total of four different bottlings have now been designed for the new Core Range. Uncoloured, non-chill-filtered and matured in a wide variety of cask types.

The Aberlour Triple Cask matured in two types of American white oak casks and one type of European sherry casks. The three different types of casks also gave it the name Triple Cask.

The 15-year-old Redbreast was originally released as a limited bottling. In the meantime, the whiskey is available on the regular market.

The Kavalan LÁN single malt whisky is named after Yilan, the city in which the Kavalan distillery is located. The name LÁN means "orchid" in Chinese and symbolises Taiwan's status as the "kingdom of orchids". The King Car Group is not only known for its whisky production, but also for its cultivation of orchids, especially the King Car Honey Peach Orchid, the first orchid to appear on the label. LÁN Whisky is a vatting of three types of cask: Bourbon, Port and STR wine casks are used.

The Bladnoch distillery experienced a rebirth 200 years after it was founded with the relaunch of its Single Malts. The 16-year single malt, matured entirely in Oloroso sherry casks, replaces the 14-year-old version. In future, all Bladnoch bottlings with an age statement will bear the name "HERITAGE COLLECTION", as they date back to the period before the distillery was closed from 2009 to 2017.

Macallan Double Cask matured entirely in sherry casks. American oak casks were filled with sherry especially for Macallan and then used for the whisky maturation. In addition to the American oak casks, classic sherry casks made from European oak were also used.

For a long time, Double Cask was only available in Asia. In the meantime, the whisky has been included in Macallan's regular range.

Today, the Royal Brackla Distillery is recognised as "The King's Own Whisky" distillery. It received this distinction from King William IV in 1833 as the first royal charter, the first time a whisky was honoured in this way. Just five years later, this honour was renewed by his niece, Queen Victoria. This 22-year-old Royal Brackla whisky is part of the "Exceptional Cask Series" and has also been finished in Tokaji wine casks, which give it unique flavours. Tokaji wines, produced in the Tokaj region of Hungary, are famous for their sweet and intensely flavoured Aszú wines made from Furmint, Hárslevelű and Muscat grapes. These wines are known for their distinctive flavour and unique production methods.
