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!

Cadenhead’s 7-Stars is an historic Blended Scotch Whisky, originally bottled many decades ago to demonstrate that exquisite whisky could be created by blending carefully selected casks from the vast array of stock we owned in our warehouses.
Our traditions and methods haven’t changed and so we have resurrected 7-Stars using whisky from distilleries all over Scotland. The blend is then finished in Oloroso sherry casks – giving it a bolder, yet well balanced, flavour.
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.
From the landmark distillery Glen Keith ,which was the first to be built in Speyside region in the 20th century. The tall copper stills used to distill this twenty five year old Whisky imparts distinctively Speyside flavours.
On the nose there is a syrupy sweetness; akin to toffee apples and spiced ginger marmalade. This is followed by tangy gooseberry jam and vanilla custard on the palate. The finish is long, smooth and sweet.

Finished in a Granada rum cask since 2019, this bottling from Fettercairn distillery features notes of barbecued bananas, pineapple upside down cake and lemon zest.
Fettercairn is a highland distillery sat by the Cairngorm Mountatins.
Given the equipment and production style, it’s easy to see why a firm, relatively heavy, nutty style whisky is created. Furthermore, between 1995 & 2009, the condensers were made of stainless steel, adding a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a cooling ring at the top of the swan neck, spraying cold water down the still sides, helps reflux and guides the spirit towards a lighter profile.
Nose:
Barbecued bananas, mineral notes, pampas grass, sherbert lemons.
Flavour:
Coastal notes, miso, chalk.
Finish:
Pineapple upside down cake, gooseberries, lemon zest.
