Maison Courvoisier—the cognac house founded by Félix Courvoisier in Jarnac, France, in 1828—isn’t resting on its laurels. After unveiling a whole new look for its three standard cognacs in early 2022, the iconic brand is back at it with the release of its new XO Royal, an ultrapremium cognac that honours Courvoisier’s long association with Europe’s royal courts. The XO Royal is made from Fins Bois de Jarnac blended with Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie from the region’s most notable vineyards. In a teardrop-shaped bottle topped with a glass stopper embellished with facets, Courvoisier’s XO Royal is meant to be enjoyed during the most regal of evenings.

This Gorgeous 31 year old Speyside single malt was laid to rest at the Aberlour distillery in 1988 and bottled by Duncan Taylor for their The Octave range in 2019.
The Octave Premium Range from Duncan Taylor showcases years of maturation expertise transforming some of Scotland’s oldest and rarest whiskies into gently expanded and more sophisticated forms. Octave casks are approximately 1/8th the size of a butt and each one yields approx. just 80 bottles! These cask strength whiskies have been held in sherry wood to intensify their flavour and bring our some glorious colours.
Charged from single cask number 3325593 at a natural strength 48.3% ABV, this limited edition is one of only 62 bottles that comes with original presentation case and tasting notes card.
With the last 4 years of maturation spent in a Fino cask, this whisky from Dailuaine distillery is deliciously savoury with notes of green olives, marmite, samphire.
Rarely seen as a single malt, which allows independent bottlers to present this spirit to whisky lovers, Dailuaine spirit is heavy and meaty thanks to the long fermentation period, quick distillation and the use of stainless steel in the condensers.
Based in Aberlour in Speyside, Dailuaine was once the largest distillery in the region and, although that’s no longer the case today, capacity was increased by 25% in 2012.
Nose:
Green olives, peanut butter, marmite, ripe banana, cigar box.
Flavour:
Anchovies, tobacco leaf, seaweed, samphire.
Finish:
Honey, ginger, waxy fruit.
Our limited edition seasonal whiskies have been a great way for us to showcase our spirit style in a variety of different casks to reflect the farming calendar. Our Third Crop will be the last, completing the trilogy.
Sowing Edition embodies springtime on Lochlea Farm when we sow the fields with barley seed. The days start to stretch, the daffodils pop out to say hello, and we begin another year of growing barley for our single malt whisky.
Like the First and Second Crops, Sowing Edition Third Crop has been matured in 100% first-fill Bourbon barrels. We’ve found over the years that our spirit works particularly well in this type of cask, as the apple notes in our new make complement the vanilla flavours typically found in Bourbon barrels.
This whisky opens with flavours of almonds and rose petals on the nose, developing into a vibrant burst of apple blossom underpinned with white pepper and crisp pear on the palate. The finish is gentle, with notes of warm straw and freshly-cut grass.
Sowing Edition (Third Crop) is non-chill filtered with no added colouring.
The Friar John Cor ‘The Cask Strength Congregation Batch’ – Chapter 2, was matured in a selection of Bourbon, STR & Peated Rum casks. As with all Lindores bottlings it has no added colouring, is non-chill filtered and bottled onsite at the batch cask strength of 60.9%.
The introduction of the peated casks which originally held rum, gives a very exciting point of difference to our unpeated spirit. The end result is just fantastic with a complex Whisky with syrupy fruity sweetness balanced perfectly with deep earthy peated notes that compliment perfectly in this unique Lindores Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The design of the eye-catching black bottle, mirroring the Exclusive 1494 First Release Bottle, draws on several elements of Lindores Abbey’s history, most obviously the dramatic black colour which is inspired by the black cloth tunics worn by the Lindores monks back in 1494. This unique bottle shape is also in homage to the magnificent stone pillars which would have been found throughout the Abbey, the remains of which can still be found in the ruins today.
This batch was quite possibly our most anticipated release yet, with the Chapter 1 selling out across the UK in just a few days from its release date.
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.
The second in an annual series of limited edition bottlings – Older, bolder and completely undiluted. Cask Strength Batch Two is 60% ABV and is non-chill filtered with no added colouring. Matured in a combination of PX, Oloroso and STR casks, Cask Strength Batch 2 showcases a complexity greater than the sum of its parts.
Nose Apples, marmalade, peach syrup
Palate Rose petals, wild lavender
Finish Black pepper, dried fruit
