Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye combines the distinctive flavor of Canadian rye grain with the unmistakable smoothness of Crown Royal for a truly exceptional Canadian whisky.
Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye is the first Canadian Whisky to earn World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray’s Annual Whisky Bible 2016.

Country: American
Region: American
Age: 
Strength: 45.%

Summary: Country/Region: USA / Kentucky.
ABV: 45%.
Light, but not to be confused with lacking in complexity, just a very elegant, easy-sipper that is truly wonderful on it's own or a slight splash of water. This is an example of a versatile Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey!.

Springbank / 12 Year Old Cask Strength / 2016 Release
Springbank / 12 Year Old Cask Strength / 2016 Release

£ 49.50
Country: Scotland
Region: Campbeltown
Age: 
Strength: 54.1%
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Campbeltown.
Unit: 70cl
Age: 12 Year Old.
ABV: 54.1%
Bottling Year: 2016
The following notes are our own from a pre release tasting. This is a fantastic dram to enjoy after dinner, add a drop of water to pull the whole range of flavours if you can't wait for it to open in the glass for 20 mins (Who would want to wait that long).
Nose: Ahh there it is sweet orange chocolate and red berries with a rather stunning sweet aromatic smoke.
Palate: Nice mouth coating full of flavour. Could this be an alternative to my personal favourite 15 year old? Yes it could! The smoke is subtle to start with hints of dark fruit and that coca note from the nose. Lingering fruity notes with a nice play of peat smoke but not overdone. The sherry casks have delivered some amazing flavours with the almost tropical soft fruits from the Bourbon casks adding a little soft spice to the mix.
Finish: A long rich finish just as expected from the nose and the middle palate. Some orange marmalade on fresh baked wholemeal bread with hints of coconut and spice that lift the ending just that little longer than expected.

Alcohol by volume: 54.4%
Bottler: Cadenheads.
Distilled/Bottled: 1974/2003.
Age: 29 Year Old.
Originally bottled in 2003, A few cases where found held in the Cadenheads warehouse by mistake simply because the orginal labels run out, so it was decided to relable them in for February 2016.
The Label has the original bottling date showing the original outturn of 210 bottles, we only have a couple of bottles so once its gone its gone. The price is also based on the original chairmans stock gold label 2003 level so you dont have to pay a premium for this rare vintage just sit back and enjoy.
Nose: Candied fruits with barley sugar twists, Lucky bag of sweets maybe? Some hints of coco and spice.
Palate: The fresh bourbon cask has played a blinder on this dram as rich creamy fruits mingle with some hints of chocolate covered raisins, the rounded mouth feel in this dram is just about perfect.
Finish: Its back to the candied fruits on the nose, some warm baked fruit cake with the most delicate hint of spice and rich chocolate, dusted bon bon’s, and red grapes.
