Edencroft	Mosstowie – 33 Year Old Gordon Macphail Rare Edition Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: 33 Year Old Strength: 46% Summary: For over 25 years Miltonduff Distillery produced 2 different Single Malt Whiskies. In 1955 due to the increased demand within Hiram Walker for different styles of whisky, a chemical engineer, Alistair Cunningham designed the Lomond Still. This type of still had a wide neck which housed three rectifying plates. These plates were used to vary the amount of reflux that took place within the still thus altering the spirit produced. The plates could either be filled with cool liquid or left dry. They could be rotated – the horizontal position would maximise reflux while the vertical position would reduce reflux. Due to increased demand for Ballantines Blend in the 1980s, the Mosstowie stills were altered to produce Miltonduff – the key component of Ballantines. AROMA WITHOUT WATER: Freshly washed wool and hessian. With hints of polished oak, beeswax and orange peel. TASTE WITHOUT WATER: A sweet liquorice and aniseed flavour. Pepper and ash notes linger. AROMA WITH WATER: Creamy hot chocolate aromas with spiced orange and cardamom notes. TASTE WITH WATER: Cinnamon and Clove influences with hints of Cedar wood.	70cl	£ 485.00 BUY NOW

Edencroft	Laphroaig – Cairdeas Origin 2012 Bottling Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: Strength: 51.2% Summary: First released at the Feis Ile 2012, Laphroaig Cairdeas Origin was bottled to celebrate 18 years of the Friends of Laphroaig program. Combining the original liquid used to first create Cairdeas along with newer Laphroaig spirit that has been fully matured in quarter casks. Although there is no age statement on the bottle, weve been told by those-in-the-know that Laphroaig Cairdeas is new spirit that was placed into small quarter casks, enjoying a very intense maturation for seven years, that was then blended (50:50) with another special whisky the chaps at Laphroaig had been quietly maturing for between 13 and 21 years old. Both whiskies were fine expressions of Laphroaig in their own right, but when blended together something exceptional emerged as befits this 18th anniversary of the FOL club. Colour: Golden Barley. Nose: Distinctly Laphroaig – iodine, peat, smoke etc. but with quite a bit of citrus (Orange & Apples) and a hint of creamy fudge. Taste: A good mixture of Laphroaig medicinal, peat, slight ginger, apples and hints of vanilla sweetness. Finish: Quite long with peat, iodine and chocolatey coffee.	70cl	£ 295.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Macallan – Diamond Jubilee Bottling Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: Strength: 52% Summary: This specially designed bottle bears a unique image of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II created by the sculptor Arnold Machin. With only 2012 bottles available, and like their previous commemorative royal bottling’s, this edition is expected to be highly sought after by collectors from the worlds of whisky and art. Nose: Vanilla is the first to show, sweet to a point, yet shows maturity. Citrus fruits hang on to the coattails, (orange, apple, hints of lemon), almost appear when they are required. The cask influences then appear, resinous, never overbearing, changing to show polished oak, aged, reminiscent of a once exquisite dining room. Palate: Rich dried fruits open up to show their hand. Raisin drives the character in a non-nonsense manner. It is evident it is not alone, figs and dates, are the lesser players of the group. As they converse, treacle toffee takes a bow followed by the courtiers, ginger and clove. Like a finale the grand lady enters, Oak – refined, polished, elegant, overlooking all. Finish: Long, meanders, in no hurry to leave.	70cl	£ 1,100.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Macallan – The Coronation Bottling Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: Strength: 58.1% & 55.7% Summary: This limited edition commemorative bottling comprises a beautifully designed box featuring two 350ml bottles of single malt whisky, the first conveying the Queen as she was in 1953, aged just 26, and the second honouring the treasured monarch she has become today. The two bottles each feature a different image of The Queen, one taken in 1953 by Cecil Beaton the other featuring an image taken in 2004 by Julian Calder, one of the world’s most renowned portrait photographers. The first whisky, matured in American oak sherry seasoned casks, is a vibrant gold spirit offering a lemon and orange citrus nose. Ginger and summer berries flit in the background showing the exuberance of youth while hinting at a founding level of maturity. Matured in Spanish sherry seasoned oak casks, the second whisky is a splendid mahogany spirit and presents a richly mature, elegant and refined nose. Nutmeg, ginger, rich fruits and resin soften to give a full mouth feel. There is great maturity on the palate, yet no sign of age.	2 x 35ml	£ 1,100.00 BUY NOW
