Jancis Robinson MW 17.5/20 "Creamy texture and a slightly sweeter, certainly riper, impression than more typical vintages – certainly much fuller and more welcoming than the 2008. Like a liqueur version of Epernay character! But this wine is no simpleton; it really builds on the palate to a dramatically long finish. Powerful! Very friendly rather than stern and Churchillian..." Parker 95+/100 "demonstrative bouquet of golden apples, clear honey, hazelnuts and fresh pastry that's still quite primary. Full-bodied, fleshy and textural, it's deep and concentrated, with an ample core of fruit, ripe but racy acids, a pinpoint mousse and a long, penetrating finish... expressive, deceptively immediate rendition... despite its charm out of the gates, readers willing to wait at least five years will be rewarded with significant additional complexity."

Jancis Robinson MW 18.5/20 "Electrically reverberant... Very complex and uncompromising...Dense and savoury. Intellectual wine! " Wine Advocate 97/100 showing superbly, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet that mingles confit citrus, peach and dried papaya with nuances of iodine, brioche and honeycomb. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a rich and layered core that's underpinned by serious structure and tension, concluding with a long and precise finish. This is one of the finest wines Billecart has released in the last decade, and it is well worth seeking out.

Super pale, like fino sherry, but don’t be mistaken to thinking that it's gentle….a hefty dollop of iodine and peat smoke, with ginger and some green apple notes. Certainly my favourite from this Islay Clan

Replaces the Classic. Aromas of vanilla and coconut come through quite early on as a result of being matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks. Citrus fruit and peach make an appearance towards the end.

Triple distilled and matured in American bourbon oak for over eighteen years. A refreshing Lowland single malt whisky with the added infusion of ripe citrus and green tea and the warmth of toasted almonds.

Light initially, with fruit notes, nutty flavours and a sweetness from slight hints of vanilla and caramel. Becomes more full-bodied in its finish, as rich dried fruit attempts to dominate the palate. Made on Islay.

Pronounced Toch-ach ah-ghaa With touches of smoke from peated malted barley, this whisky’s prickling strength emanates from the dram. Immediate warming peatiness drift to a sweet Oloroso sherry influence with rich oak, balanced with delicate pepper.

Lithe, sleek with intense earthy peat notes, balanced by the presence of malt sugar, vanilla and oak. The scents of Islay in a glass- The ozone fragrance of the sea, bog myrtle from the moss and peat smoke in the cold night air.

Warm toasted oak spices flood through green apple skins and dried apricots, ripening to hints of peach and soft banana. Aniseed and lemon zest create a contrasting edge to the fruit and add an intriguing character to the long, crisp barley finish.

Matured purely in american oak bourbon casks.

Thick toffee, ripe fruit, and tar-tinged smoke are accentuated by dark chocolate, cocoa powder, burnt raisin, dates, and sea salt. Long, entertaining finish." The Malt Advocate 16#2

The 12 yo has a light smoky nose with a stronger hint of the sea. On the palate the heather of the peat and the tang of the sea combine to give a round, satisfying taste with a long finish.

A minimum of 19 years in former Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon-seasoned casks, then transferred into Madeira casks for a further 2 years. The result is a whiskey awarded ‘Best Irish Single Malt 2013’. It has huge depth that interweaves dried fruit flavors with spicy, aromatic maltiness and subtle nutty raisin notes.

Gold Medal IWSC 2006 Sister distillery of the famous but now demolished Brora. A very rare malt and fascinating style, very stony and mineral, strong and hard. Tastes far better with a dash of water and (we?ve tried this at home) a fine mat
