We have a beautiful range of this finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills availbale
The revitalization of Benromach Distillery in the late 90s and early 2000s saw it make a push for an old-school Speyside single malt whiskey with a hint of peat smoke. Founded in 1898 outside the town of Forres, the distillery would change hands several times over the following years. Harvey McNair & Co bought it in 1911. Eight years later it was bought by John Joseph Calder and sold again before shutting down in 1931. In the 1960s, the distillery underwent a refurbishment and the traditional maltings ceased operation.
Barley for the distillery is grown locally and the distillery mainly uses medium peated barley to add that peat smoke character. The soft water used by the Benromach comes from Chapelton Spring which flows from the nearby Romach Hills.
The distillery was shut down again in 1983 and remained closed for ten years until it was bought by independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail. Under new ownership, the distillery reopened in 1998 and opened its doors to tourists a year later with a new visitor center. The first bottling released in 2004 was the Benromach Traditional, a mission statement of their intent to reclaim an ancient character in the whiskeys to come.
Benromach operates a large number of larch washbacks, 13 in all, for a single set of stills. Together with its 1.5 ton mash tun, this gives the distillery a relatively small production capacity of 700,000 litres.
Despite not producing the same volume of spirits as many distilleries, Benromach has not let them stop them from releasing a large number of bottlings. These include both peated and unpeated whiskeys in a variety of wood finishes.
Benromach's core range consists of the 10 and 15 year old single malts, as well as the Cask Strength 2008, bottled at 57.9%. The 10 Years is a classic Speyside whisky, with just a touch of peat and notes of fruit and nuts.
For lovers of sweet and fruity whiskey a Limited Edition 20th anniversary bottling was released in 2018. Aromas of fruitcake, sugar and vanilla give way to notes of toffee and licorice on the palate with an oak finish. The Cask No. 1 was distilled in 1998 and aged for 20 years in first fill Sherry butts, adding notes of spice on the palate to complement the fruity character. Several Vintage bottlings and various wine and sherry wood finishes have also been released, along with the heavily peated Peat Smoke.
It isn't always cold by the sea, especially when you have an Old Pulteney at hand.
On the most northerly shores of Scotland, where the North Sea meets the Caithness coast, there is a town; home to a whisky which captures the very essence of its location. This is Wick and they are Old Pulteney; the maritime malt.
Some real beauties available.
Viking spirits? Highland Park Twisted Tattoo 16Y
Highland Park's Twisted Tattoo combines whisky aged in Spanish Rioja wine seasoned casks with whisky aged first-fill bourbon casks. Inspiration for this one came from the Viking legend of the Midgard Serpent, which got itself twisted around the world to bite its own tail.
How heavy can it be?
Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2011 Heavily Peated
The heavily peated malt for this new dram has been created from harvests brought home from three Islay farms, by Raymond and his farming colleagues Neil Mclellan and Raymond Fletcher. The resulting rich, aromatic Port Charlotte wash was trickle distilled in our Victorian stillhouse during 2011. Moving forward they now have 19 farmers who have made the commitment to grow for them and to whom we are equally committed.
Nose – A whirlwind of vibrant aromas burst from the glass, an earthy tarred peat smoke announces this is Port Charlotte. lemon, peach and green grapes come from the spirit. Vanilla pods, creamed coconut and chocolate speak of the American oak maturation. The combinations of aromas intertwine and jostle for attention. some time to open allows notes of lemon drizzle cake, white chocolate and peach yoghurt to rise wrapped in a velvet blanket of light smoke.
Palate – Hints of salt reinforce the coastal feel. Dry smoke, salted caramel and apple sauce. Then lemon drops, boiled sweets and ground white pepper. The smoke is light on the palate, tar and charcoal rather than medicinal phenols. Towards the finish and the light gentle spirit has an edge of floral sea breeze, marine and refreshing. The sweetness of the oak and the barley are matched beautifully by the dry peat smoke. Islay grown, the barley seems more distinct and brings through the peach and apple typical of our spirit.
Finish – Tar and brine, peat smoke and salt, coconut and tobacco. Close your eyes and the smoke takes you to an Islay beach with a driftwood bonfire.
Collectors item? Prince of Wales 3-pack
Prince of Wales 3-pack: Oak aged 12 years - Supreme blend - Special reserve single malt
Prince Charles’ was introduced to alcohol at a rather young age and quite by accident. He was a sea cadet with the naval equivalent of the Territorial Army at Gordonstoun School. It was 1964. He was just 16 years old and on Stornaway Island with some fellow cadets on an exercise. He suddenly became aware of some journalists on his tail and made good his escape by running off and seeking refuge in a pub. The landlord asked him what Charles would like to drink and he ordered a cherry brandy. Unfortunately a journalist was slumped in the seat beside Him. Two days later the story was all over Fleet Street and there was an inevitable and terrible row.
Best of Japan?
A 1987 vintage whisky from Nikka's Yoichi distillery, bottled in 2005 from a single cask.
A Japanese single malt bottling from Nikka's flagship distillery in Hokkaido. Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown. Taketsuru opened the Yoichi distillery in the same year as establishing the company, modelling its pot stills on the long-necked design of the Longmorn stills in Speyside.

In the 1950’s Michel Couvreur, originally from Belgium, began making wine in Burgundy. As a frequent traveller to Scotland selling wine, he fell in love with the Scottish way of life and its incredible whisky.
Si vous pensez que les choses sont Foggy
Aultmore 12 du Foggy Moss est souvent négligé par les amateurs de whisky et jugé simpliste. Mais, comme son nom l'indique, certaines de ses notes subtiles mais remarquables sont enveloppées de brume et de mystère. Il est assez différent de la plupart des autres whiskies du Speyside.
Le nom "Aultmore" est dérivé d'un mot gaélique "An t-Allt Mor" qui signifie essentiellement "Big Burn".
En ce qui concerne la partie « mousse brumeuse », il s'agit essentiellement d'un hommage à la zone où se trouve la distillerie, qui est généralement enveloppée d'un épais brouillard. Le brouillard est en effet connu pour être si dense et étendu qu'il recouvre non seulement la lande marécageuse où se dresse la distillerie, mais aussi le village environnant.

The Octomore 10 Years Single Malt Second Limited Edition belongs to the famous brand of the Bruichladdich distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. An international fan base is gathering around this brand, which is one of the most peated whiskies in the world. The Octomore 10 Year Old Single Malt Second Limited Edition comes with 167 ppm and – in contrast to a number of other bottles of this brand – is also provided with a rather high age specification.
The guaranteed maturation period of 10 years also explains the higher price in this case. Another reason may be the limitation to 18,000 bottles, which are individually numbered. This bottle is one of the coveted collector’s bottles that an Octomore fan should put on the shelf in good time.
From Dusk till Dawn
Islay’s oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1995. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year prior (they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.
This is a smart presentation set of three different 20cl expressions from the distillery. It includes...
Bowmore Dusk Bordeaux Wine Cask 50% 20cl
Bowmore Dawn Port Cask 51.5% 20cl
Bowmore Darkest 43% 20cl

Springbank 12 Year Old Decanter 1980s
Springbank distillery has been owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, and it one of Scotland's most revered distilleries. Following a brief mothballing between 1979 and 1987, upon the reopening the decision was taken to cease all sales to the blending industry and focus on its single malt sales. Today it is the only distillery to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and produces three distinct and highly prized single malts.
A classic Springbank, this 12 year old was released in a black branded flagon decanter.

Jack Daniel's 1904 Gold Medal Replica Bottle - 100th anniversary 150 cl
A Special Limited Edition Bottling from Jack Daniel's. In 1904, Mr Jack Daniel loaded some of his best whiskey and travelled to St. Louis to compete at the world's fair! There he would mingle with the world's most famous distillers! After numerous rounds and whiskies eliminated from the competition, an English Judge named Henry Hoctor stepped forward and proclaimed "Gentleman, the Gold Medal for the world's finest whiskey goes to Jack Daniel Distillery, Lynchburg not Virginia, but Lynchburg, Tennessee".
In honour of this event, he designed a uniquely shaped bottle, filled it with his award-winning whiskey and gave it to the many people who were responsible for making his whiskey. He called the special bottle his Gold Medal Bottle.
In the early 1970s, we released a replica of Mr Jack Daniel's special Gold Medal Bottle in the original half gallon size, which has become quite the collector's item. Celebrating Jack Daniel's 100th anniversary of winning the gold medal they re-released this special bottle which symbolizes an important event in history.

Glenrothes John Ramsay
We opened our Glenrohtes Vault "from before... a certain spirits CY took over.." A very special whisky from Glenrothes, named for their outgoing malt master John Ramsay.This whisky is the best of the best; John selected twenty second fill American oak casks and vatted them into sherry butts. A further two were selected from there and were vatted, and reduced to 46.7 to provide this superb bottling. It's a perfect tribute, and a truly delicious Glenrothes.
Un peu de soleil dans une bouteille, en ces jours plus sombres ?
Caribbean Cask a été vieilli dans des fûts de whisky en chêne traditionnels pendant 14 ans, puis «fini» dans des fûts qui contenaient auparavant du rhum des Caraïbes.
Pour créer la finition idéale, le maître de malt David Stewart a rempli des fûts de chêne américain avec son propre mélange de rhums antillais sélectionnés.
Lorsqu'il a jugé que les fûts étaient prêts, le rhum a été remplacé par l'alcool de 14 ans et le bois a été mis au travail pour apporter la touche finale.
Le résultat est un whisky single malt exceptionnel avec le caractère doux et miellé traditionnel de The Balvenie, marié à des notes de caramel et une pointe de fruit, avec une finale chaude et persistante.

From the Kinsman or is it the Kingsman
Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, second this Malt Master's Edition. Not counting finishes,...
Triple distillé à la distillerie Springbank, une rare première édition disponible.
La distillerie Springbank est l'un des derniers producteurs survivants de Campbeltown Single Malts. La distillerie, située au sud de la péninsule de Kintyre, produit trois types distincts de whisky écossais single malt.
Springbank est l'une des deux seules distilleries d'Écosse à effectuer toutes les étapes du processus de fabrication du whisky, du maltage de l'orge à la mise en bouteille de l'alcool, dans les mêmes locaux : l'autre est la distillerie Kilchoman qui cultive également sa propre orge. Si quelques autres maintiennent encore la première étape du processus, le maltage de l'orge (qui se fait de plus en plus rare), Springbank embouteille également son propre whisky.
Trois variantes de single malt sont produites à partir de sa distillerie en peaufinant le processus de production à différentes étapes;
Le single malt Springbank est la variété la plus populaire, le single malt Longrow est un whisky hautement tourbé et distillé deux fois et le single malt Hazelburn, la variété la plus récente.
Triple distillé à la distillerie de Springbank, le whisky single malt non tourbé de 12 ans d'âge d'Hazelburn est l'un des trois malts produits à la distillerie de Campbeltown.
