Single Malt Scotch Collection

"This oft-overlooked Speysider has been frustratingly variable in the past, but now seems to have hit greater consistency. Worm tubs and weird stills combine to give a complex malt, but one that needs help from oak to blossom fully. There are hedgerow aromas: black currant leaf, hawthorn berries, and lots of honey. A chestnut note continues on the tongue where, on the finish, a hint of smoke lurks." Whisky Advocate, 43% abv

Speyside whiskies are known to be fruity and floral, but as the bad boy of Speyside, Craigellachie defies with its oil fired, rich character. Craigellachie 13 is matured in a mixture of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The bourbon casks bring vanilla, toffee and fudge notes to the fore, and the sherry casks provide richness and complexity.

"Half the whisky was aged in bourbon barrels, the other half in sherry casks. This whisky has always been on my short list as one of the finest, most affordable 12 year old single malts available. While the price may have gone up a bit (I remember when it was $20!), the quality remains the same. It’s fresh and lively. A well-balanced dram, with its tell-tale orange marmalade accompanied by tangerine, pineapple upside-down cake, vanilla-soaked barley, subtle brine, and caramel, all leading to a spicy cinnamon and dried vanilla finish. A nice 'every day' dram." Whisky Advocate

"Dalmore's 12-year-old expression has been matured in ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. The portion of sherry casks in the mix has been increased compared to former times, making it much more complex.Aroma: Orange, dark plums, chocolate, marzipan." Whiskey.com

The Glenlivet 12 year old is a single malt, double matured Scotch whisky. From the Speyside region of Scotland, it is first matured in traditional, then American oak casks. The latter barrel imparts notes of vanilla and gives the whisky its distinctive smoothness. This classic single malt has a rich and fruity taste with a long, creamy and smooth finish. Its delicious flavour is delicately balanced with strong pineapple and vanilla notes. This expertly crafted whisky is a perfect gift to offer for special occasions or to treat yourself as an everyday dram. Founded by George Smith, The Glenlivet has been crafted in the remote Livet Valley in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region since 1824. He founded the first legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet. At the start of the 20th century, The Glenlivet became the favourite whisky for enthusiasts throughout the British Empire. Following the end of Prohibition in the United States, its reputation grew in America, quickly becoming renowned worldwide as the original Speyside single malt, a position it continues to enjoy today.

Few names are as synonymous with quality Scotch whisky as Glenlivet. The Glenlivet French Oak 15-year-old blended whisky stands out for the eponymous French oak casks used in the distilling process. The result is an earthy, lingering bouquet no other label can replicate. A tried-and-true product from Scotland's oldest legal distillery, Glenlivet 15-Year Scotch whisky is created through a process similar to making cognac, lending it a slightly sweet and abundantly flavorful profile. The remarkable maturation process delivers a whisky known for its nutty, spicy, and fruity hue with notes of apple, grape, nuts, and spices. Distilling the Scotch in French oak casks for so long also infuses hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. The Glenlivet 15-Year French Oak Scotch has a 40% ABV and is perfectly at home in sweet mixed drinks. You can also enjoy Glenlivet on its own sip by sip.

The Glenlivet 18-year-old Scotch whisky is a premium choice in the Glenlivet lineup. Tasters fall in love with its enticing honey color and smooth, pleasant finish that stands out among other Scotch whisky choices. A dynamic spirit preferred for its depths of aroma and taste, The Glenlivet 18-year-old Scotch marks the middle of the Glenlivet options ranging from 15- to 21-year-distillations. The 18-year-old whisky boasts a unique flavor palate with sweet elements like oranges and nougat along with the spiciness of fennel and spearmint. This 40% ABV single-malt Scotch whisky hails from Speyside and enjoys extra time in the refining process. The result is a Scotch with amazing complexity that has become a favorite among consumers and critics alike. It is no wonder that the label has won multiple international awards. Appreciate The Glenlivet on its own in a whisky glass to bring out its subtle nuances, which range from fruity to oaky.

On the nose, sweet notes of pear and red apple meet a fabulous tropical twist of ripe bananas in syrup. Rich caramel toffee notes are followed by mandarin orange, vanilla and honeydew melon to taste. The finish is well balanced and exceptionally smooth.

Made with water from the same crystal-clear mountain streams, in the same cold, pure air, The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is as smooth and fruity as the whisky that first ran from the original copper pot stills. These unique, lantern-shaped copper stills, designed by the man himself, are not the only important tools in our distilling legacy. The traditional oak casks in which we mature the whisky give each expression its own distinct characteristics. When George Smith began distilling, The Glenlivet had no age statements and he selected whisky from casks of a range of ages. We have replicated this freedom with The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve, selecting whisky from a variety of traditional aged oak casks. Then, to lend a modern twist to the flavour of the expression, Master Distiller Alan Winchester marries together a selection of the aged oak casks and American first-fill oak casks. American first-fill oak casks are those that have never before been used to mature whisky. Selective use of these casks provides a smooth, creamy sweetness that mingles harmoniously with the delicate flavours and complex fruity tones already present in the whisky.

The Glenlivet Spectra is a selection of three mysterious single malts, each a reinterpretation of our smooth & fruity house style.

"When compared to the 10 year old, this one’s richer, with darker fruit and more caramelized sweet notes, paired with accentuated dried wood spice, while the 10 year old is more vibrant and floral. Like the 10 year old, there’s good balance here." Whisky Advocate

Aroma: Characterised by notes of autumn harvest festival. A rich, resinous quality of nuts joins a crisp toffee sweetness of creme brulee, merging with creamy vanilla. Hints of vibrant oranges & lemons are found, followed by walnut, honeycomb and dates. With water, 18 Years Old reveals a rich oaken, balsamic character with notes of apricot and hazelnut. Palate: silky texture, rounded flavor with grapefruit & orange. Also, honey and creamy malt segue into a warm nuttiness of hazelnuts and walnuts from the Oloroso sherry casks in which the whisky is matured. Finish: Lingering with a subtle sweetness of dried fruit and the nutty dryness of sherry. (Producer's Notes) 43%abv - Malt and Honey -

Made in hand selected wine barriques from Sauternes, the most famous and ancient sweet wine growing region of France, this a whisky of rich, spicy and dessert-like flavours. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel. An exercise in sweet-dry balancing. Aroma: lime and orange rind and dates laced with tantalising spices of coconut and nutmeg. Taste: ginger, nutmeg and toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue and honeycomb middle. 46% abv - Rich Fruit and Spice -

"Finished (extra-matured, as they are now saying) in Sauternes casks. This expression replaces the Madeira wood finish. Beautiful sweet notes of honeycomb, sultana, apple pie, and white chocolate balanced by peach, coconut, and pineapple. Gentle background spice. The Sauternes cask adds extra weight and viscosity. The sweetness is not cloying, nor does it dominate the flavor profile. A good demonstration of the benefits of wood finishing." 89 pts Whisky Advocate

Glenmorangie Signet is blend of their oldest whisky and spirit matured in a selection of the world's finest casks. It is undoubtedly is the richest whisky in the Glenmorangie range. While the exact secrets of its production are known only to the distillery, the Signet's melting sweetness and explosive spiciness is due in part to their unique roasted 'chocolate' barley malt and the 'designer casks' made bespoke for Glenmorangie from American white oak. Non chill-filtered.

Aroma: A strong Aruba espresso fused with a treacly plum pudding, rich with sherry, and candied orange peel. Taste: A contrast of rich sweetness with an explosive crackle of sizzling spices and bitter mocha. Finish: A fresh spring-like breeze of mint with a bright citrus. (Producer’s Notes) 46%abv - Rich Fruit and Spice -

"This is unlike any Glenmorangie I’ve ever tasted. It’s a very textural, visceral whisky -- partly due to the chocolate malt, partly due to the casks used. It’s dark in color for a Glenmorangie, and viscous on the palate, with interwoven notes of dark chocolate, ground coffee, pot still rum, and spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), followed by dry polished leather, tobacco leaf, and a roasted walnut finish. This is a fun whisky, and earns bonus points for being unique in flavor." Whisky Advocate

Elegant but full bodied this whisky has spent ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being extra-matured for a further two years in Oloroso and PX Sherry casks from Jerez in Spain. Lasanta is Gaelic for warmth and passion, a reminder not just of the Spanish provenance of these Oloroso sherry butts, but also a reflection of this expression's lusciously soft texture and deep, enticingly sweet aroma.

Nose: Warm spices mix with smooth chocolate-covered raisins, honeycomb and caramel toffee. Palate: Deliciously sweet sherry flavoured sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butterscotch combine to create complex warm spices. Finish: Long and satisfying finish with spiced orange and chocolate covered hazelnuts. (Producer's Notes) - Rich Fruit and Spice -

The darkest and most intense whisky in their extra-matured range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal. Extra maturation in these port pipes creates a complex balance of sweet and dry flavors and an intriguing contrast of smooth and crisp, cooling textures. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel. Nose: dark mint chocolate, tangerines and Seville oranges mingle with sandalwood and walnut before giving way to a spicy finish of pepper and nutmeg. Palate: mint chocolate and walnuts envelop the palate like velvet, with additional notes of sweet Seville oranges. Finish: long-lasting silky aftertaste leaving dark chocolate mints and traces of orange. 46% abv - Rich Fruit and Spice -

Fresh, vibrant, and beautifully complex. A clean, malty foundation accentuated by bright complex fruit, delicate spice, dried flowers, and gentle honeyed vanilla notes that linger on the palate. This is a wonderful whisky which is very versatile, but I can only imagine what it would taste like at 46% and unchill-filtered like the wood finish expressions." 93 Whisky Advocate

"Aromas: mandarin, lemon, apple, pear and peach trees. Add to this the scent of vanilla ice cream, and herbal notes of geranium and wild mint. Add water and release lemony bergamot, apricot and mandarin. Floral notes of geranium, sweet honeysuckle and piquant narcissus mix with mint and the herbal essence of eucalyptus, nutmeg and ginger. Taste: creamy vanilla slips like liquid silk over the tongue as peaches and cream, mandarins and lemons effervesce in the mouth. Finish: The charming sweetness of delicious juices is left on the tongue (Producer's Tasting Notes) 43% abv - Fresh Fruit and Vanilla -

A Glenrothes 12 Year Old in classic style: fruity and sweet. Aged solely in sherry-seasoned casks, this Speyside whisky has notes of vanilla, melon, banana and cinnamon.
