25 year old single malt from the Arran Distillery, located on the island which shares its name. Launched in 2020, the 25th year of Arran’s production, this expression was aged in a combination of 35% ex-sherry and 65% ex-bourbon casks, and it was all allowed 12 months of maturation in first-fill and refill sherry hogsheads before bottling. Here’s to a quarter of a century of top whisky from Arran, and here’s to many more!

Sweet to start with notes of peach iced tea and cola syrup, this dram from Glentauchers distillery develops as you sip revealing savoury notes of cigar box, taragon and nutmeg.
Glentauchers’ spirit has a long history of making its way into blends but this gives independent bottlers the perfect opportunity to be involved in sharing the flowery aroma of ‘Tauchers with the world.
Sitting in Mulben, Moray, the distillery has consistently produced a light spirit throughout its history, even though it has been known to fall foul of relatively fallow periods for the whisky industry but, despite occasional ups and downs, it is still around today and we are very glad it is.
Nose:
Treacle, flaked almonds, peach iced tea, root beer.
Flavour:
Cola syrup, glacé cherries, strawberry jelly sweets, strawberry laces.
Finish:
Marzipan, menthol, nutmeg, candied lemon, taragon, cigar box, ginger.

With the last 3 years of maturation spent in a PX cask, this whisky from Ardmore is beautifully complex with notes of tobacco, raspberry jam, cardamom pods and honeycomb.
A substantial Victorian distillery, Ardmore has scale which is surprising given its gentle rural surroundings. It is also unusual due to the style of whisky it produces – a peated Highland malt.
Nose:
Cigar box, tobacco, subtle peat smoke, cayenne pepper.
Flavour:
Raspberry jam, figs, fruit jelly.
Finish:
Cardamom pods, honeycomb, crème brûlée.
Elegant spice, treacle toffee, rich sherry oak – with an endlessly complex finish. Matured exclusively in hand-selected sherry casks for a character-building quarter-century. Made in the distillery’s traditional way, with the slowest distillation in Scotland and no peat used in the process.
Nose: Big notes of sherry-soaked fruit up front – raisins, figs and oranges. This is followed by wafts of toasted almonds and classic notes of old leather.
Palate: Vanilla and dark chocolate open up the palate. Sherry comes through yet again, but this time in the shape of rich, well spiced fruit cake. Hints of orange and oak round it off.
Finish: The finish lasts with notes of red fruits and cracked black pepper.
