Order of the Tasting

Thank You!

What an amazing and successful event. Thank you for attending. 

ARDBEG ARRRRRRRDBEG! COMMITTEE RELEASE

ARRRRRRRDBEG!

Bottled to celebrate Mickey Heads and his 13 years at the helm, Arrrrrrrdbeg! is a new end of an era edition whisky, wholly matured in ex-rye casks. This mouthwatering last salute to Mickey is a first for the Distillery and a blunderbuss of fruity flavours.


Tamdhu Batch Strength

Batch Strength No. 005 is bottled un-chillfiltered at 59.8% ABV and boasts a deep, natural copper hue developed by the finest Oloroso sherry seasoned casks from the bodegas of Jerez, Spain. 

On the nose, a subtle waft of warm vanilla, followed by cinnamon spice and roasted brazil nuts. The luxurious, thick mouthfeel is complimented by sharp summer berries cutting through rich double cream. 

A drop of water reveals subtle hints of citrus, oak and freshly-baked cookies, and the long, lingering finish delivers warming spices which rise to meet the crisp sweetness of clementine zest. 

Dailuaine 16 Year Old

A delicious bottling from Dailuaine. Big, rich, sweet and smoky, with a very smooth mouthfeel and plenty of fruits and spices.

Laphroaig 1994 DL

Description coming soon. 

Ben Nevis 2015 6 Year Old
Carn Mor

This youthful Ben Nevis was distilled in 2015 and the tasting notes suggest there is even a peat smoke character which is rarely seen in independent bottlings of this distillery. It was bottled from sherry hogsheads producing 1323 bottles.

Official Tasting Notes

Smoked bacon and maple syrup with a generous helping of peat smoke.



Glenfarclas 17yo Old Style bottling from the 2000's

A delicious, richly sherried Glenfarclas aged for 17 years and launched for the travel retail market. Loads of character and depth, just what we've come to expect from the distillery.

Benriach 2004 10th Anniversary 10yo

Quite drinkable and pleasant whisky, but its main value is still in the history of its production.
