Supplier	Brand	Price
Edencroft	Bruichladdich, Aged Twenty One Years Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: Strength: Summary: Full and mellow, rounded and rich with a unique character that comes only from malts matured full term in Oloroso sherry butts.	£ 85.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Bruichladdich, Infinity Edition_310 Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: Strength: Summary: The smokiness appears to have a life of its own: still cured bacon, as in previous Infinities (actually can there be such a thing…?) but perhaps a touch of Bavarian smoked cheese, perhaps, as a side dish, next to a freshly diced apple?	£ 47.95 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Royal Lochnagar, 1998 – The Distillers Edition Country: Scotland Region: Highland Age: Strength: Vintage: 1998 Bottler: Summary: Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine.

The Whisky Exchange	Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve 10yrs Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Country: American Region: American Age: Strength: 45% Summary: 75cl / 45% – Long-aged bourbon, with a massive palate, yet still deceptively smooth.
