Glendullan / 1999 14 Year Old / Cask #10124 / Old Malt Cask Edition
£ 67.75
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Age: 14 Years Old
Strength: 50%
70cl
Summary: Old Malt Cask is unashamedly for connoisseurs of the finest expressions of Single Malt Scotch Whisky. As one of the most established brands in the single cask market, Old Malt Cask is trusted by thousands of Malt Whisky consumers all around the world as the selection which bottles some of the most noteworthy Scotches in the market. Each month, the Hunter Laing tasting panel reviews the company stocks and, after careful consideration, selects only the casks which are of the highest quality. Whether the whisky was distilled in Speyside or Islay, the Lowlands or the Islands, they all have one thing in common – they have been bottled at exactly the right time to capture the unique characteristics of the cask.
Invariably bottled at 50% strength to maintain drinkability, each new expression is non-chillfiltered to ensure that the personality of each cask remains. Our expert blender also writes notes to guide the consumer through the tasting experience. We don't have to do much with the whisky – we let it speak for itself.
Old Malt Cask has spent fifteen years as one of the market leaders in the single cask category. As the reputation of Hunter Laing rests on the quality of each release, they aim to ensure that each new bottling delights the consumer as much as the last one.
Nose: what a beautiful mix between clean, alluring barley and citrus, mainly clementine’s; a little lavender freshens it up even further;
Taste: just about a perfect impact on delivery; the malts are salivating, the sugars are crisp and clean, the vanilla un-embittered…wow!!!
Finish: here’s the dull bit Glendullan…the oak injects a little natural caramel but a few spices compensate;
Balance: at last! A Glendullan how I normally see it in the blending lab, rather than when tasting bottling’s for the bible. Of late they have been pretty ordinary and hardly representative. This one is much truer to its known quality among pros, mainly due to this crisp malt being presented in decent oak for a change.

Glendronach / Cask Strength / Batch 4
£ 55.95
Country: Scotland
Region: 
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: A classic GlenDronach exactly as they made it – cask strength, non chill filtered and at natural colour. The cask strength has been matured in a combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. The first batch comprises of some 12,000 bottles and is bottled at 54.8%. Batch 2 has been bottled at 55.2% and batch 3 at 54.9%. The GlenDronach Cask Strength batch 4 was bottled at 54.7%.
Colour: Dark rich amber with a glint of burnished copper.
Nose: Delicious molten toffee and wild honey poured over ripe figs and dates. Subtle hints of tangerine, coffee grounds and a dusting of cinnamon add a perfect balance to the nose.
Palate:  Vibrant oak spices and warming stem ginger  compliment the rich sherry and dark fruit characteristics. Waves of sour plums and subtle gingerbread combine with stewed barley and roasted coffee beans, softened by a gentle hint of walnut.
Finish: A perfect harmony of the finest sherry casks and traditional Highland characteristics.

Nose: clean with a proud butterscotch tart theme. The barley is still fresh and at times concentrated;
Taste: I defy you to count how many different style of natural toffee you can find on this…; a thin layering of ulmo honey sits well with the maple syrup and persistent malt;
Finish: a little spiced cocoa on the fading barley sugar;
Balance: given the right cask, shows what a lovely malt this distillery is capable of producing. Engaging and irresistible.

 Highland Park / Odin
Highland Park / Odin
£ 420.00
Country: Scotland
Region: 
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: Highland Park Odin represents a single malt Scotch whisky worthy of its namesake – the formidable and commanding ruler of Asgard. Its intense complexity ensures this final release is deserving of its rightful place at the head of the Valhalla Collection.
Colour: Vivid burst of sunlight.
Nose: This intense whisky possesses a fierce spice; cinnamon bark and nutmeg rise from Odin’s spirit. Behind the spice, toasted walnuts smoulder with pulsating explosions of smoke. Odin cuts an ominous figure and this whisky is no different.
Palate: A huge, powerful palate draws on the complexity of Odin’s character. Layers of peat uncover thousands of years of wisdom. Dense oak and still smouldering away are the rich charred walnuts.
Finish: Throughout is a subtle sweetness, sharing the knowledge of well-seasoned sherry wines. Plums and soft fruit disappear into the dark as the peaty embers glow into a smoky finale.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 55.8%.
For sale only within the EEC.

 Kilchoman's / Loch Gorm 2015
Kilchoman's / Loch Gorm 2015
£ 62.50
Country: Scotland
Region: 
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: Kilchoman launch third annual Loch Gorm limited edition release Independent farm distillery, Kilchoman, will be releasing a limited edition Loch Gorm Single Malt Whisky in March. Only a limited quantity of the exclusive bottling will be available and if past releases are anything to go by, it will sell quickly. This is the third annual Loch Gorm Single Malt to be released by Kilchoman. Each release is differentiated by the distillation and bottling dates on the front of the bottle and gift carton. Kilchoman’s Loch Gorm releases are traditionally matured in ex Oloroso sherry butts and this latest edition is no exception. Where the 2015 version differs from the previous year is the use of sherry hogsheads to mature a portion of the whisky rather than just sherry butts. This edition will also be marginally older than the five year old 2014 version, it being bottled from casks filled in both 2009 and 2010. Anthony Wills, Founder and Managing Director of Kilchoman, said: “As well as this year’s release being slightly older, we decided to increase the ratio of single malt matured in smaller sherry hogsheads versus that matured in larger sherry butts. This increases the influence from the sherry casks and gives the whisky a striking intensity and richness. That said, the whisky retains the balance and complexity Kilchoman releases are well-known for.” This range is named after a famously peaty loch over looked by the distillery; Kilchoman draws water for the production of Loch Gorm and their other releases from the burn that runs into the loch. Colour: Deep and rich. Nose: Soft, spicy and rich with light smoke dark chocolate and citrus fruit. Palate: Soft fruits and peat smoke with a rich sweet finish. Finish: Long and sweet, lingering smoke, well balanced. Country / Region: Scotland / Islay. Unit: 70cl ABV: 46%

 Macallan / 1993 20 Year Old / Cask # 10290 / Old Malt Cask Edition
Macallan / 1993 20 Year Old / Cask # 10290 / Old Malt Cask Edition
£ 130.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Age: 
Strength: 50%
70cl
Summary: Nose: apples and pearsfreshly diced, topped with a aqueeze of lemon. The tannins look seemingly bemused and powerless…;
Taste: though they don't hang around on delivery. Red liqourice to the fore, though soon swamped by salivating barley and muscovado suagr. A little orange hangs about;
Finish: long, softy oiled and not a degree of light molassess and toffee as the tannins begin to make their mark;
Balance ironically, a Macallan not from a wine cask, yet turns out to be as fruity as you'll find. A real treat.

 Port Ellen / 1978 / 35 Year Old / Old & Rare
Port Ellen / 1978 / 35 Year Old / Old & Rare
£ 1,385.75
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Age: 35 Years Old
Strength: 56.5%
70cl
Summary: Whilst we are proud to place the Laing family name on all the casks we bottle, there are some whiskies which are so remarkable that they deserve a little extra recognition. Hunter Laing's Old & Rare name signifies a rare single cask malt that has been bottled at the peak of its flavour. Whether it was the water, the wood, or even the location in the warehouse, circumstances have conspired to create a sublime drinking experience which once consumed, can never be repeated.
Each bottling of Old & Rare has been matured to perfection, so due to the angels' share there are comparatively few examples to emerge from each cask. Presented in a highly distinctive squat bottle, each expression comes beautifully packaged in a specially crafted wooden box. The personal tasting notes of our expert "nose" are included to complement the views of each individual taster. It goes without saying that each cask remains unadulterated by excessive filtration or added caramel.
Although each sip from an Old & Rare cask is an exquisite experience the pleasure must be tempered with a little sorrow, due to the fact that such a taste can never be exactly replicated again.
Tasting Notes: A full bodied nose of earthy peatiness with a touch of iodine and sea salt. Initially sweet on the palate with peat coming through. A definite honey note takes over, giving a smooth mouth feel.
The finish is long and lingering with the peat fading slowly and the honey giving a pleasant after taste.

 Lagavulin / 12 Year Old / 2014 Release
Lagavulin / 12 Year Old / 2014 Release
£ 79.95
Country: Scotland
Region: 
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: Lagavulin with a lighter spring to its step; big on distillery character and full of life, with freshness, cereals, citrus and signature smoke. Sweeter notes of toffee and fruit are unusually to the fore, though the serious interplay of tannins, herbs, resin and smoke leaves no doubt as to its lineage.
Appearance: Very pale delicate gold. Long beading.
Nose: Gentle, and slightly sweeter than expected. At first it seems like you're in an old-time dairy; scrubbed clean, with a background scent of damped-down peat smoke. Gaining depth, the aromas grow appetisingly with classic notes of spent firework and ash above grainy cereals, acetic sharpness married to butterscotch sweetness, and boiled sweets, applesauce, spearmint and juicy fruit. There's toffee and fresh-baked baguette or leather too, with spice in the finish. Softer with water, at first it's Purely cleansing, then there's a subtle interplay of mint, white vinegar and fresh woodsmoke. The overall impression is youthful and vibrant: a painting For Those Who want a full-on smoky!
Body: Medium.
Palate: Immediate and intense. Sweet and lively, pleasantly oily, with lime zest and a barley sugar sweetness soon wreathed in peat-smoke. Then, dry and aromatic wood cut by a salty, smoky sharpness in the mid palate. Better with water; lighter, still sweet and zesty, fruity and oily, slightly salty, the smoke more autumnal. Like a slice of rich fruitcake eaten near a wood-fired stove.
Finish: Lengthy, warming and coating. Waxy, resinous and herbal with burnt dried mixed fruit; sweet on the tongue with wood smoke on the breath. With water a delicate sweetness supports late, resinous pine and autumn smoke.
Country/Region: Scotland/Islay.

 Laphroaig / 15 Year Old / 200th Anniversary Edition
Laphroaig / 15 Year Old / 200th Anniversary Edition
£ 75.00
Country: Scotland
Region: 
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: Laphroaig 15 year old was first created 30 years ago. Barrels were individually selected for their particularly mellow rounded flavour, then batch bottled at the higher export strength of 43% ABV. The resulting flavour soon became a firm favourite winning many awards. Its highlight was being chosen for the famous ‘Erskine Charity Bottling’ in 2000 when 270 bottles were drawn from a single 15 year old cask signed by HRH The Prince of Wales for this charity of which he is a patron.
The 200th Anniversary edition has been created in exactly the same way as the original. We very much hope it will be a delight both to those who have enjoyed it in the past and for many of you for whom it will be the first opportunity.
COLOUR: Sparkling gold
NOSE: Initial scents of grapefruit and fresh mint. A touch of water releases salted caramel, with signature Islay peat smoke underlying sweet orchard fruit aromas.
BODY: Multifaceted.
TASTE: Pink peppercorns, light peat smoke with a soft dryness, before a finish of tobacco and faint sea salt.
FINISH: Mellow with a smoky aftertaste.
Alc: 43%.
Unit: 70cl.

Nose: plenty of Kentucky at work here with the liquorice and hickory giving depth to the vanilla. The barley is not outdone, though…;
Taste: the oak yoke is discarded on delivery and the barley is at full blast;
Finish: just adore those gristy sugars which have somehow survived all these years; some lemon to the late vanilla;
Balance: simple, but so elegant with it!

Nose: beautiful structure and weight; a little toasty, but welcomes the nutty spread. Excellent salt to suger ratio;
Taste: sublime delivery with near perfect weight and poise and some ramped up barley. The oils are delicate, the sugars playful and the quasi-bourbon style liquorice adding just the right degree of tostesterone;
Finish: a late settling of some sugary scores as the light muscovado overpowers the fudgy oak;
Balance: an early morning reminder why I can really love this job.

Benriach / Batch 10 / Cask # 296

Benriach / Batch 10 / Cask # 296
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 30 Year Old.   Strength: 43.9%
Summary: Cask Type: Hogshead.
Style: Classic Speyside.
Colour: Crisp bright gold.
Nose: Vanilla-dusted sweet fruits, melon and pineapple combined with gentle soft oak.
Taste: Candied fruits mingle with soft vanilla and cinnamon. A honeyed oak note holds the elegant barley sugar finish.
BENRIACH DISTILLERY
FOR DISCERNING INDIVIDUALS:It’s not often a long kept secret is revealed in the world of Single Malt Scotch Whisky – but here is a true discovery! Since 1898, the BenRiach distillery has very quietly been producing quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which has only ever been enjoyed in very small quantities, by a few discerning individuals who have been fortunate enough to come across a bottle.
Today, BenRiach continues to produce its very special Single Malt Whiskies, as an Independent Distiller.
UNIQUE AMONGST MANY:The BenRiach Distillery is located in the ‘Heart of Speyside’, between the village of Rothes and the town of Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland. The Spey Valley, in which the BenRiach Distillery was built by John Duff in 1898, is home to many of Scotland’s great whiskies, but BenRiach has its own uniqueness borne from the particular methods and skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients they use, the distinctive copper stills and high quality barrels selected for maturation.
“I am often asked what makes BenRiach special. There is no one thing, but the starting point has to be reputation and legacy. Then you must take the astonishing skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients we use, the copper stills, the high-quality casks, our rich and varied inventory and our broad range of peated and non-peated expressions. To these you must add independence, enthusiasm, creativity and a real passion for whisky craftsmanship. As a result you get what I call a “heavenly explosion” – a sensational, unique, complex tour de force.

Benriach - 1994 Cask # 4386

Benriach – 1994 Cask # 4386
Country: Scotland   Region: Highlands
Age: 19 Years   Strength: 55%
Summary: The BenRiach Distillery is located in the Heart of Speyside, between the village of Rothes and the town of Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland. The Spey Valley, in which the BenRiach Distillery was built by John Duff in 1898, is home to many of Scotlands great whiskies, but BenRiach has its own uniqueness borne from the particular methods and skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients they use, the distinctive copper stills and the high quality barrels selected for maturation.
And, BenRiach boasts one further difference – standing apart from the other Spey Valley distilleries, the traditional floor maltings with their distinctive pagoda style chimneys can produce peated, malted barley, enabling the distillery to capture the defining taste of peat reek in a few of their special bottlings.
Cask Type: Virgin Oak Hogshead.
Cask Style: Virgin Oak finish.
Colour: Rich harvest gold.
Nose: A perfect balance of toasted oak spices and sweet barley. Waves of ripped fresh mint and sweet gooseberries add a delicate fruit background.
Taste: A powerful richly oaked character develops into waves of toasted coconut and fruit salad. Vanilla and barley sugar fill the mouth in the classically long sweet oak finish.

Cask Type: Butt.
Style: Classic Speyside.

Nose: 23 creaky old leather and dusty libraries… I feel quite at home; some spiced up juicy dates, too;
Taste: an engrossing experience: the grape is almost as fresh as it must have been way back in the days when Abba were topping the charts. The inevitable spices hold firm, setting into a rich fudge and mocha middle;
Finish: some vanillas and tannins peel off from the grape and it is the popping vanilla pods which have the very last say; Balance: it is impossible to ask any more of an old sherry cask from Benriach than this: quite magnificent.

Cask Type: Rioja Barrel.
Style: Rioja Finish.
Nose: an intriguing head-on meeting of fruit salad and barley sugar… with some spiced vanilla thrown in to remind you of the age; Taste: silky yet strangely well mannered for a malt which has plenty of spices just bursting to escape; Finish: creamy textured, long and deliciously chewable. Some of those spices finally make it into general play; Balance: clean, sweet and quietly understated. — Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.

Bruichladdich -  Cuvee 640: Eroica

Bruichladdich – Cuvee 640: Eroica
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 21 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: This American-oak-aged Bruichladdich has been further matured in Limousin oak casks from Acquitaine that for many years contained one of the great Eaux de Vie. These casks tannins have added new layers of rich complexity to our own elegant, floral Bruichladdich whisky. This is a spirit to give pause, to reflect on. A spirit as much for the mind as for the palate.
Character: Curvaceous, buxom, captivating yet elegant with a silky texture that is divine.
Colour: Mahogany/ bronze.
Nose: The opening notes are of marinated pears, apricot, mango, spicy apple; then drifts of dark chocolate orange and espresso coffee can be detected together with vanilla-rich toffee. The seductive notes of old style malt whisky rise serenely; warm, reassuring and deceptively potent. The aromatics flirt shamelessly with the senses and then you realise that this is no ordinary spirit – it’s just so wonderfully fragrant. Gentle spices, citrus, dried fruit & herbs pop up like champagne bubbles keeping the mood one of celebration and joy.
Palate: Fantastique! The taste is rich and mellow. Many flavours continue to evolve – rich ripe apple, Turkish delight, soft strawberries, candied almonds and above all others that beguiling maltiness that is the mark of all Bruichladdich spirits. This, plus the coastal marine freshness adds life and vitality arousing the senses to an even higher level. You just know that this is authentic Islay heaven, simultaneously delicate and potent. The amorous embrace of France has not turned the islanders head. He remains mature and mellow while thoroughly enjoying the smouldering warmth of the femme fatale.
Finish: Ultra sexy, a rare and wonderful experience – if this was a movie it would have to be “Casablanca”. One to be enjoyed at the close of the day with others who share the same passion for the rare things in life.
Mood: A spirit as much for the mind as for the palate.

Bruichladdich -  Islay Barley 2006

Bruichladdich – Islay Barley 2006
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age:    Strength: 50%
Summary: This is the second release in the Uber-Provenance Islay Barley Series – whisky that is very dear to our hearts.
This spirit has been distilled from barley grown by our partner farmers (and good friends) here on Islay specifically for Bruichladdich – a link with the land and terroir of this great island that had been lost, broken for many years. Now once again the salt sea spray lashed fields of Islay are producing the raw material for our distinctive island single malt – this release made from barley grown on the eastern side of the island on jubilee field at the place known as the “headland of the gallows”, on Dunlossit farm.
Character: The texture of the spirit is remarkably smooth for such a youngster. The mouth feel is quite irresistible; it’s fresh and zesty with the quality of the Islay-grown barley unrestrained by the presence of a long relationship with the oak. Now we can experience just how beautiful a spirit can be when distilled ultra-slowly by people who understand that their skills and patience are critical to the final outcome. This is “Walking on Sunshine”, summer in a glass. It has Islay charm with the most seductive texture I have ever experienced. Is this down to the Islay barley? I truly believe it is.
Colour: Brilliant, luminous lemon with a harvest gold hue.
Nose: When you first inhale the bouquet it’s like the “The Hills are Alive”, with aromas of yellow flowers in bloom on forest river-banks and heather-covered moorlands, barley fields shimmering yellow and gold, orchards filled with ripe fruits, all embraced by the warm, westerly ocean breeze. This is the beauty of young Bruichladdich spirit; you can reach into its soul and transport yourself to this amazing Island simply by closing your eyes and inhaling. It’s a remarkable harmonious bouquet.
Palate: The olfactory concentration continues onto the palate. On tasting, you will discover that squeeze of lemon, honey, pear and green apple, little hints of tangerine, chocolate, light notes of marzipan, cinnamon and sweet, oaky, vanilla. The harmonious freshness of barley and wild flowers rising on that irresistible marine presence unique to the Islands of Scotland. The taste buds rejoice in the warmth of the spirit and sweetness of the malt; it’s a taste they seldom experience in such generous measures. A miracle on the palate for sure. Islay malt whisky made from Islay grown barley is something that very few people have ever experienced. Now you can understand what’s been missing in your life and never have to wonder again, for you have touched the void!
Finish: The finish is outstanding. How can you say goodbye to a kid that’s stolen your heart with his beauty and honesty. It’s difficult, but it’s not goodbye, because as you enjoy the final drops, John Logan, the farmer at Dunlossit, is about to start ploughing for this year’s harvest – Dream Fulfilled!
Mood: Easy, like Sunday morning.

Bruichladdich -  Port Charlotte 10

Bruichladdich – Port Charlotte 10
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 10 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: Now this spirit has reached its first landmark age – ten years. Ten slow years maturing in our Islay warehouses, soaking up the “ozone”-rich marine air that blows in off the Atlantic. And, significantly, this is the first time that we have had the luxury of being able to offer an age-statement port charlotte as part our core portfolio, rather than just a limited edition. This 10-year-old is now here to stay – the classic, elegance and finesse of Bruichladdich seamlessly married with the power and presence of heavy peat, left to mature slowly and un-hurried for 10 islay years. Very special.
Character: Medium weight with a texture that is smooth, strong and smokey. This is a spirit with fire in its soul and warmth in its heart.
Colour: Bronzed mahogany.
Nose: The sherry and peat are the first to rise; they warm and seduce the senses into an Islay frame of mind with little slipstreams of lemon peel, black pepper, eucalyptus, cinnamon, heather and mint – all being caressed and cooled by the Atlantic coastal notes which merge beautifully with the earthy flora and fauna aromatics of the peat moors, heaths and woodlands of this special place.
Palate: Slowly the combination of both bourbon and sherry wood arrives in an unhurried wave of sticky dates, mellow Oloroso, chocolate orange, smoked malt, roasted walnuts and dark toffee. At this point the palate surrenders to seduction by the most handsome spirit it has ever encountered.
Finish: As you near your journey’s end, you will notice there is a subtle change in the flavour as the American bourbon wood sunsets the experience with a brilliant flash of Spanish flair – dark, passionate, sweet and desirable.
Mood: Meandering winter walk.

Bruichladdich - Cuvee 382: La Berenice

Bruichladdich – Cuvee 382: La Berenice
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 21 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: This American-oak-aged Bruichladdich has been further matured in casks that previously contained the lush sweet white wines of two of the greatest chateaux of Barsac and Sauternes.
Casks that have held wine from grapes grown to honeyed intensity from some of the most blessed plots of Bordeaux, now meet classic Bruichladdich spirit that has slumbered in our dank, dark loch-side warehouses for two decades.
Character: A sensuous, decadent and flirtatious whisky with more than a hint of forbidden fruit.
Colour: Brilliant copper/ hazelnut/ wild honeycomb/ antique gold.
Nose: The first aromatics to rise are of soft ripe green fruits – papaya, plump green grapes, melon and pear with a drift on anise and cinnamon together with that distinctive note of mint imperials. This is followed by honeysuckle and orange blossom bringing that floral connection which is a Bruichladdich vintage keynote. Sweet and nutty flavours evolve; notes of candied almonds and nougat.
Palate: On the palate it is splendidly decadent and it’s here that the sweet biscuit flavours of barley shine in total harmony with creamy toffee, allowing the toasted oaks to work their magic. The mid-palate is opulent, caressing & enthralling the taste buds. The viscosity of the world’s greatest Sauternes is an enchantress that drives you to distraction. This is class in a glass, elegant, sophisticated, full bodied and succulently sweet. The texture is silky smooth, warm and mellow with the sauternes casks highlighting the natural beauty of an unpeated Islay single malt whisky.
Finish: It’s long and never falters; the flavours don’t fade at all due to its incredible texture. What a unique experience it’s been.
Mood: Decadent and flirtatious.

Summary: anCnoc 16 Year Old has been bottled in its most natural form, as it’s neither chill-filtered nor coloured. As a result, anCnoc 16 Year Old may develop a light haze with the addition of water or if kept at a cold temperature. This haze is a natural characteristic of whisky that is unchill-filtered.
Nose: An intense aroma that awakens your senses with bursts of citrus fruit, before slowly melting into a soft and sweet, fragrant vanilla.
Colour: Sparkling gold with a slight yellow hue.
Taste: Light and zesty with a hint of spice, warming up to what can only be described as ‘stick to your teeth’ toffee. A long and lingering finish leaving you ready for the next sip.

Summary: The anCnoc 22 Years Old has been bottled in its most natural form – neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and as a result may develop a light haze with the addition of water or if kept at a cold temperature. This haze is a natural characteristic of whisky that is non chill-filtered.
Nose: Sweet and spicy with notes of honey and toffee. Warm Christmas cake is accentuated by the freshness of lemons, green apples and cut flowers. All wrapped in a delicate whiff of wood smoke.
Colour: Bright gold with a copper tint.
Taste: Full bodied and complex. Distinct crushed clove, raisin and blood orange flavours are at the front, closely followed by layers of fragrant vanilla and leather. The long, rich finish is smoky and spicy.

Ancnoc - 35 Year Old Single Malt

Ancnoc – 35 Year Old Single Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 35 Year Old   Strength: 44.3%
Summary: anCnoc single malt is refreshingly light and modern, even though its made using traditional methods. Their 12 and 16 Year Old bottlings have a clean, fresh character.
However, this is the more mature 35 Years Old, their oldest offering yet. As youd expect, it shows a richer, more complex personality. However the resemblance to the younger expressions is unmistakable. anCnoc 35 Years Old is bottled in its most natural state; cask strength, non-chill filtered and natural colour & is limited to only 1,495 bottles worldwide.
Nose: Initial aromas of sweet wood, sticky toffee pudding and baked apples are followed quickly by ripe sultanas and honey. Fragrant orange oil and cinnamon gum come to the fore next with a hint of peppermint lingering in the background. A drop of water brings out honeysuckle, gooseberry and chocolate-covered papaya. Great complexity.
Colour: A rich, inviting amber.
Taste: It sure has some body to it! Spicy entry with cinnamon and white pepper. Rich Christmas cake and walnuts are followed by bitter orange chocolate, that really rich 70% cocoa stuff. Look for vanilla ice-cream and a zing of lime at the back. A palate and a half. The finish is intense and fizzy with flavours of spicy dried fruit, cocoa, citrus and nuts. Really long and very elegant.
