Old Pulteney / 1990 Vintage Single Malt £ 120.00

Old Pulteney / 1990 Vintage Single Malt
£ 120.00

Yellow Spot / 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Whiskey
Yellow Spot / 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Whiskey

£ 58.85
Country: Scotland
Region: 
Age: 
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Country: Ireland.
ABV: 46%.
Unit: 70cl.
Yellow Spot whiskey was last seen in Ireland in the mid to late 1960s. Created and sold by Mitchell & Son Wine and Spirit Merchants, Yellow Spot was always a 12 year old whiskey which was slightly sweet due to the inclusion of some single pot still spirit which was matured in Spanish Malaga wine casks. Inspired by the original, Yellow Spot is the rare taste of a bonder’s style Pot Still Irish whiskey. Maturation in Bourbon barrels, Sherry butts and Malaga casks creates a superbly complex whiskey with fresh and sweet top notes.
Nose: Mown hay & cracked black pepper. Red bell peppers, nutmeg, clove oil & green tea. Sweet honey & peaches from the Malaga casks;
Taste: honey sweetness with pot still spices. Flavours of fresh coffee, creamy milk chocolate & Crème Brûlée. Notes of red apples & toasted oak;
Finish: Sophisticated & complex. Sweetness throughout, with a mix of red grape & dry barley upon exit;
Ratings: Double Gold Medal / 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Old Pulteney / 12 Year Old Single Malt
Old Pulteney / 12 Year Old Single Malt

£ 27.50
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 40.%
70cl

Summary: Matured wholly in air-dried, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, the 'unashamedly excellent' Old Pulteney 12-years-old is the definitive expression in the Old Pulteney family. Traditionally crafted using techniques that other distillers have long abandoned, this winner of numerous gold medals at the most prestigious international competitions is a high water-mark of quality spirits.
Nose: Medium to high intensity, dry with a hint of sea air.
Colour: Deep amber with a slight pink hue.
Taste: Dry, medium bodied and smooth with a clean finish: faintly salty with a slight sherry note.
Country/Region: Scotland / Highlands.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 40%.
Ratings: 90.5 Points – Jim Murray's 2013 Whisky Bible.

Old Pulteney / 17 Year Old Single Malt
Old Pulteney / 17 Year Old Single Malt

£ 65.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 46%.
The 17-year-old predominantly features ex-bourbon maturation, with the addition of spirit that has been wholly matured in Spanish wood ex-sherry casks, predominantly Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso. This adds a subtle depth and complexity to the whisky, making for an outstanding after-dinner drink.
Nose: Sweet with traces of apples and pears: slightly woody with a hint of butterscotch.
Colour: Red amber with a rich autumnal hue.
Taste: Full bodied, with hints of vanilla and floral notes in the background; a long-lasting memorable finish.
Ratings: 95 Points – Jim Murray's 2016 Whisky Bible.

Old Pulteney / 21 Year Old Single Malt
Old Pulteney / 21 Year Old Single Malt

£ 95.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 46%.
As with the 17-year-old, with this expression they marry together Old Pulteney matured in ex-bourbon wood with spirit from ex-sherry wood casks. The crucial difference, however, is that the ex-sherry wood in this case is made from American Oak (mostly Fino sherries). This adds yet another layer of complexity, depth and character to this truly superb malt whisky.
Nose: Full bodied with traces of fruits (apples and pears); slightly fragrant with spicy overtones.
Colour: Golden amber with straw highlights.
Taste: Sweet to start with a light fruitiness; hints of honey and vanilla followed by a dry finish.
Ratings: Single Malt Scotch 16-21 Years (Single Cask) / Jim Murray's 2016 Whisky Bible.

Glencadam / 25 Year Old Single Malt
Glencadam / 25 Year Old Single Malt

£ 215.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Age: 25 Year Old.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 46%
Outrun: 1600 individually numbered bottles.
A limited quantity of Glencadam Highland Single Malt, aged 25 years, has been released. The new launch has been created by the assembly of mature whisky from a very careful selection of first-class American white-oak ex-Bourbon casks.
Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, deemed that the time was right to bottle the whisky at 25 years of age when the combination of exciting flavour notes such as sweet malt, exotic fruit and mixed nuts had reached a wonderful balance.
Just 1600 bottles were produced and each bottle is individually numbered. The result is a “remarkable” and beautifully crafted Glencadam Highland Single Malt expression.
Nose: Barley gold;
Taste: A swirl of sweet malt and a hint of exotic fruit chased by a wave of mixed nuts and a whiff of the inside of cigar boxes;
Palate: A complex mélange of guava fruit, hazelnuts and almonds girdled by rich oak tones;
Finish: Soft oaky spice with a ginger and pepper finalé.

Old Pulteney / The Navigator / Single Malt
Old Pulteney / The Navigator / Single Malt

£ 45.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Old Pulteney launches Navigator as a limited edition exclusive.
This is the launch bottle from Old Pulteney, the Maritime Malt, in conjunction with the sponsorship of the Clipper Round the World yacht race.
The competing Old Pulteney yacht has been designed specifically to replicate the Navigator packaging.
Matured in ex American bourbon and ex Spanish Sherry casks.
Colour: Honeycomb.
Nose: Sweet and crisp. Layers of tangy apples and dried fruit harmonise with hints of chocolate and fresh vanilla.
Taste: Full-bodied and rich in flavour. A burst of honey, cocoa and oranges eases into a long-lasting, spicy finish with a maritime surprise at the end.
Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 46%.

Old Pulteney / 1990 Vintage Single Malt
Old Pulteney / 1990 Vintage Single Malt

£ 120.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 46%.
Old Pulteney 1990 has been matured in hand selected American oak ex-Bourbon barrels and Spanish oak ex-Sherry butts.
The casks previously held heavily peated malt which gives this Vintage a slight smoky character.
Nose: Lovely stuff, some old bookshelves, earth, some leather, and also a sweeter tone, even a hint of marmit!! ( i know I loathe it on the palate, but I like it on the nose.) very distant notes of smoke, also BBQ, so faint it’s just a wee whiff.
Palate: Smoke, intertwined with juicy fruit, mouth watering, older wood, sort of darker smokier, yet creamy. complex and multi faceted, on levels I’m not sure I can put into words.
Finish: Elegant smoke, chocolate, salt and slight peat.
This has to be one of the best OP’s out there, and definetly the best whisky I’ve tasted recently. I love it. Not many whiskies get rated over 90. and this one deserves every bit of it. Complex, intresting, and “dark” yet so mouth watering. You want more and more. I want (read: NEED) a bottle. It’s not cheap at more than 120 quid, I know.
Ratings: 92/100 Points / Whisky Israel.
Tasting Notes: Whisky Israel.

Old Pulteney / Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur
Old Pulteney / Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur

£ 19.50
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 35.%
50cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Unit: 50cl
ABV: 35%
Hailing from the far North East of Scotland, off the Caithness coast, Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur takes it name from the windswept Orcadian Isle. Stroma originates from the Norse meaning ‘island in the stream’ which also refers to the dangerous currents on the island’s shores, including the infamous ‘Swilkie’ whirlpool. Stroma’s lighthouse warns ships of these nearby powerful currents.
This fine liqueur is a careful blend of award winning malt whiskies from Old Pulteney; a mix of lighter and more vigorous malt whiskies. Stroma is smooth, sweet tasting and warming and like the island itself, Stroma is packed full of robust and rugged undertones.
Guaranteed to appeal to the more discerning drinker, this unique liqueur can be served neat or over ice. Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur from Old Pulteney leaves a pleasantly warm and comforting afterglow.

Speyburn / Bradan Orach
Speyburn / Bradan Orach

£ 20.00
Country: Scotland
Region: ScotclandHighlands
Age: 
Strength: 
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotcland/Highlands.
Unit: 70cl
Alc: 40%
Gaelic for ‘Golden Salmon’, Bradan Orach is a classic, easy drinking Speyside malt whisky, matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks.
The bourbon wood gives the whisky a wonderful complexity and depth, without making it overly challenging. Like the 10 Year Old itthis malt is very easy to drink and a great way to get to know Speyburn.
Colour: Bright, golden-amber colour.
Nose: Green apples, honey, lemon and floral vanilla spices.
Taste: Subtle and delicate with vanilla and honey, full bodied, creamy and smooth with a long lasting spicy finish.
Ratings: Double Gold Medal / 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Strathisla / 10 Year Old Smws Toffee And Sunny, Runny Honey / Cask No 5818
Strathisla / 10 Year Old Smws Toffee And Sunny, Runny Honey / Cask No 5818

£ 90.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: Country/ Region: Scotland/Islay.
Alcohol by volume: 60.4%
Bottler: The Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
Cask No: 58.18
Date Distilled: 21 April 2005.
Age: 10 year Old.
Cask Type: Second fill ex-sherry butt.
Bottles Filled: 198
The nose found feverfew, camomile and grass, but the main event was fruity sweetness, like jam tarts, rhubarb and custard sweets, Danish pastries, vanilla slices and stewed fruits.
The sweetness was less fruity on the palate – we got barley sugars, buttery tablet, pastries and McCowan’s Highland toffee – then a late spice kick of ginger, chilli and pink peppercorns.
The reduced nose was young and fresh (flower meadows, laundry, lemon, pencils) but still sweet – this time sunny runny honey, Hobnobs, ice-cream wafers and dark chocolate. The reduced palate had less heat and seemed tastier – dried papaya, Granola bars and chocolate milk-shake.

Benriach / 13 Year Old Virgin American Oak Finish

Benriach / 13 Year Old Virgin American Oak Finish
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 13 Year old   Strength: 46%
Summary: BenRiach created this product last year specifically for the Swedish market, crafted from several casks of 1999 vintage BenRiach. Each cask was distilled and filled on the 12th August 1999.
The whisky was originally matured in ex-bourbon barrels, before being finished in Virgin American oak casks – a style of cask that is relatively unusual for ageing Scotch whisky, but a style of maturation that we are using more and more at BenRiach, as they love the influence it has on the whisky.
This is a one-off bottling, and the total production was approx 750 cases (6-packs).
We have some additional stock available, and this is only being offered to the UK and Germany – so this product will only be available in the UK, Germany and Sweden. Once this stock is sold through, this whisky will be discontinued.
Colour: Bright golden straw.
Nose: Full and sweet, with notes of toasted vanilla pods to the fore. Clotted cream and barley sugar.
Taste: A vibrant and intense dram; sweet toasted oak, rich vanilla and honey interact with caramelised apples. Creamy, with floral notes, and an elegant dry finish.

Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age:    Strength: 46%

Ancnoc - Rutter

Ancnoc – Rutter
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age:    Strength: 46%
Summary: The Rutter spade is used to size and separate the peat blocks producing a turf that is slow burning. This peat creates less reek and therefore gives the whisky a more fragrant smokiness, in this case, with a PPM of 11.0.
Colour: anCnoc Rutter is sparkling gold in appearance.
Nose: Initially very smoky, it quickly unveils the unmistakable anCnoc character with delicate spices, juicy pineapples, peardrops and gentle vanilla. Rich and warming.
Taste: Full-bodied and bursting with peaty richness. Soft undertones of honey, creamy vanilla, toffee and leather are punctuated by the freshness of green apples.

Edencrofts – Special Offer & Cheshire Whisky Event Update

April 17, 2012 by Gary Leave a Comment

Royal Lochnagar - The Distillers Edition

Royal Lochnagar - The Distillers Edition

Two pieces of news from Edencrofts this week…

Number 1 is a great offer on the Royal Lochnagar – The Distillers Edition

Though the origins of the Lochnagar distillery go back to 1826, it was some 22 years later that its received its royal approval. In 1848, Queen Victoria selected Balmoral Castle as her holiday residence.
Only three days after she had arrived, the distillery manager John Begg made an invitation to Prince Albert to visit his distillery, knowing he was interested in all things mechanical.
To his surprise, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their three eldest children visited the next day. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. So impressed were they with the whisky, John Begg immediately received a Royal Warrant of Appointment as supplier to the Queen.

Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine. Carefully matched for a second maturation in Muscat casks, this is a beautifully soft and rounded whisky that’s a pleasure to drink.

STRENGTH: 40% ABV
APPEARANCE: Rich amber, with polished copper tones.
NOSE: Immediate strawberry jam, bags of jelly babies, then a richly malty heart with malt loaf and Dundee cake. With water, sweeter (rich fresh fruit aromas, as in a village fruit shop) and a hint of almond oil.
BODY: Medium.
PALATE: Oily. Fruity, with a silky cereal smoothness.
FINISH: Soft and biscuity, as with old fashioned fig rolls. Lovely late warmth.
PRICE: £32.50 per bottle – saving 32% on the standard retail price of £47.50.

(Promotion available whilst stocks last.)
