Inspired by the legendary phoenix said to rise from the smoky shores of Islay, Lagavulin Special Release 2022 is a natural cask strength whisky that amplifies the distillery's iconic peated character. Drawn from virgin oak and Lagavulin's smokiest reserves, it opens with a smooth, oily start that shines with sweet richness, before layers of lemony citrus and sea salt ignite an explosion of warming spice. As the palate deepens, the whisky grows increasingly dry and intensely smoky, unfolding into long waves of peat and spice that carry the spirit of Islay to soaring new heights.

The whisky has a powerful, peat-smoke aroma, and is described as being robustly full-bodied, well balanced, and smooth, with a slight sweetness on the palate. International Spirit ratings competitions have generally given Lagavulin's 16-year spirit extremely high scores.

The quintessential Islay single malt, crafted using a generations-old method on Scotland's rugged west coast. Full-bodied yet surprisingly sweet, it opens into a long, warming finish layered with unmistakable notes of smoke, peat, seaweed, and a hint of coastal salt - evoking a bracing fall day by the sea. Its distinctive character is shaped by Islay's natural elements, from Kilbride Stream water to malted barley cold-smoked over local peat. A classic dram and a defining expression of the distillery, Laphroaig 10 is a staple pour for both newcomers and seasoned whisky lovers alike.

Finished in European sherry oak casks for a particularly memorable single malt. This unique expression begins with the same time-honoured process that goes into Laphroaig 10 Year Old. After drawing rich character from ex-Bourbon barrels, the spirit then rests in casks previously filled with sweet Oloroso sherry. Each barrel is hand selected to add extra complexity to this quintessential single malt. This marriage of casks creates a rich full-bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, grilled bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known and loved for.

Crafted as the perfect introduction to peated whisky, Laphroaig Oak Select balances the distillery's iconic smoky character with a smooth, approachable sweetness. Matured in a carefully selected combination of Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez hogsheads, ex-Bourbon casks and finished in virgin American oak, this Islay single malt opens with peat smoke and ripe red fruit before revealing layers of seaweed, ash and soft floral notes. Rich yet mellow, it delivers a long, complex finish with hints of marzipan and lime - a refined expression of over 200 years of passionate distilling tradition.

Bigger barrels don't mean better flavour. The proof is Laphroaig Quarter Cask, inspired by the old tradition of transporting whisky on packhorses. Fortunately for said horses, it was stored in smaller quarter casks that carry flavour into your dram today. Their reduced size means the spirit has more contact with the wood, amplifying the natural flavours of whisky first matured in ex-Bourbon barrels. Hints of coconut, banana and vanilla complement our instantly recognisable heavy peat flavour, followed by a long, sweet and smoky finish. This quarter cask whisky is barrier filtered to retain all the character developed in the small but mighty barrels. Enjoy a soft and velvety single malt full of unexpected vivid notes, bigger flavour and aroma.

Located at 798 meters above sea level in Nagano's Japanese Alps, Mars Shinshu is Japan's highest whisky distillery. Established by Hombo Shuzo in 1985, it utilises, cold climate, heavy snowfall, and, soft, granite-filtered water for a slow, nuanced maturation process. Named after Kiichiro Iwai, a silent pioneer of Japanese whisky, Mars Whisky Iwai is a smooth, approachable blend inspired by classic American styles. Crafted with a majority of corn and balanced by light malt, it is aged in ex-bourbon barrels to create a rich gold whisky with soft, sweet, and floral aromas. The palate reveals notes of pear, quince, red fruits, and vanilla, complemented by subtle hints of dark cacao. Perfect neat or mixed into cocktails like a Mint Julep or Old Fashioned.

If ever there was an unlikely cult favourite whiskey, this is it. First created in 1945, distilled from a mash of at least 80% corn, hence its distinctive yellow colour and iconic bright yellow retro label. Boasting a huge fanbase (and even its own subreddit) it's loved for its light and sweet corn, vanilla, and spice notes. Aged for four years in used or uncharred oak barrels, Mellow Gold is the nostalgic throwback we've all been waiting for.

Nestled in its dark, historic vale, Mortlach has long lured aficionados to its deep and magnetic character. It has its own aura; the light seems to draw lower through its hallowed doors. Even the way of things is different, the whisky 2.81 times distilled in six singing stills arranged in a pattern found nowhere else. Part science, part mystery. Bold, yet enigmatic. Gleaming with ruby light, this legendary whisky was finished in a combination of Virgin Oak, Tawny Port and Red Muscat wine casks enhancing its deep amber colour. Robust aromas of rich wine and sweet grape entwine with Mortlach meatiness. Dark and richly layered, the intense, lively and sweetly fruity taste glows with gingery depth spiced by original part-maturation in Virgin Oak. Late at night, in flickering light, the finish soars above all. A whisky to cherish; sweetness, darkness and depth drawn together in mystical union.
