Essentially a Gin without the Juniper! Distilled using 14 aromatic botanicals, including caraway, cardamom, nutmeg and citrus. Lightly sweetened with raisins, vanilla and a small amount of sugar.
It has juniper and other gin style botanicals but it is not a gin because it uses the malted barley spirit ie whisky new make spirit that would become the Nc'Nean Organic Single Malt.
This botanical spirit from Scotland’s first 100% organic distillery Nc'nean was created with a combination of the distillery's barley spirit and ten botanicals, such as wild bog myrtle, sorrel, heather and thyme. It was distilled a third time by Beinn an Tuirc on the west coast and bottled at 40% ABV.
The signature serve recommends pairing 50ml of the spirit with tonic water, a dash of Angostura bitters, and a grapefruit slice garnish.

A young single malt spirit which isn't quite old enough to be called whisky yet from Milk & Honey Distillery in Tel Aviv. This spirit has been matured in three types of casks: ex-red wine, bourbon and casks that were previously used to hold a smoky Islay whisky, all leading towards a tasty and complex flavour profile.
A peculiarly sophisticated gin distilled in Scotland with the essence of Bulgarian rose petals and cucumber. Delightfully fragrant with juniper notes more delicate than most. Best served with a slice of cucumber.
Matured in six signature casks as part of a unique six-part maturation, creating real depth and complexity. Natural colour, non-chill filtered. 46.4% ABV.
A Blended Scotch Whisky from Adelphi, perhaps better known as an independent bottler. However, this blend of grain and malt whisky is from its private stock which is kept in a solera system. Though excactly where the whisky hails from is kept rather hush hush, we suspect it contains spirit from all over the shop, from Islay, Speyside and Campbeltown.
Distilled and filled into bourbon casks and then finished in calvados casks for two years. Being aged for two years in casks that previously held French cider has given this soft and honeyed single malt a certain certain magic has added a crunch, almost like an apple. Fresh crispness and sweetness of green apples together with candied fruit and citrus zest.
Aged in bourbon barrels, american and european sherry casks. Candied orange peel. Sweet vanilla. Ginger cake. Hints of cinnamon and barley sugar with a touch of fresh oak.
A glorious and classic Lagavulin, with an intensity, saltiness and sweetness that balance perfectly as perfumed wood smoke rises to envelop them all; absolutely delicious.
Aged in European oak sherry casks and new oak casks, the whisky is mellowed in a unique Solera Vat, a large oak tun inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain and Portugal. Never emptied, and kept half full of whiskies since 1998.
From American Bourbon to Spanish Oloroso Sherry - and finally Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks - this is a rich, complex whisky with toffee and sherry flavours.
Juicy raspberries and brambles, sherry, creamy malt and a note of light peat. World Whisky Awards Best Speyside 12yo and under. A fantastic indie distillery.
super-heavily peated predecessors. Distilled patiently from the 2015 harvest of 100% Scottish Mainland barley, malted to a stratospheric 137.3PPM and matured in the highest quality American oak casks, this five-year-old spirit is truly remarkable.
Acting as the backbone of the 13th Octomoreseries, the 13.1 offers a necessary comparison from which the other expressions alternate. Always balancing the strength of the Octomore spirit with a graceful, understated maturation in
ex-American oak, this single malt is a testament to the trust our head distiller, Adam Hannett, has in the quality of his ingredients. Without more than patience and an understanding of how the flavours will evolve, this single malt perfectly personifies the courage of Octomore as a concept.
After five aged years in first fill ex-American oak casks, Adam has offered a unique twist in this 13.1, having gathered and recasked the spirit in 2021 into yet more fresh, first fill ex-American oak casks. This final injection of flavour, taken from the interaction between the spirit and the oak offers additional flavours of dark toffee, coconut and vanilla.
This lovely, mature old single vintage Lagavulin, our first 26 year-old Special Release, perfectly expresses the rich first-fill Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso cask style and is quite delicious, sure in the knowledge that its balance and smooth tastes have been shaped and respected by the decades. 7,542 numbered bottles.
The Bushmills 2000 Port Cask Finish sees Bushmills’ acclaimed single malt aged exclusively in first fill ruby port casks, for the full maturation period of over 21 years. The ruby port delivers a fresh fruit flavour profile which perfectly compliments the classic Bushmills style of fresh, fruity distillate. The result is highly unusual and complex single malt expression.

A 12 year old Glen Grant single malt, launched in mid-2016 with a rather sleek and handsome new bottle design. Still shows off the classic Glen Grant style - honey'd malt, sugared almond and ripe apple notes galore!
From the Ardbeg Distillery to Port Ellen and beyond, follow the rocky coast and you will discover the heavenly vista of Traigh Bhan (pronounced tri-van), the beautiful beach known locally as the Singing Sands…
For this captivating place has soft white sands that sing beneath your feet, a hum that ebbs and flows with the winds and the tides. But beguiling as this place is, do not drop your guard. Bathing is ill-advised in the seemingly tame crystal waters where jagged, volcanic rocks pierce the sands along the shore.
Exceptionally rare, this small batch 19 year old Ardbeg displays notes of HERBAL PINE, bracing MINT CHOCOLATE and CITRUSY LEMON on the nose. A rich smokiness gives way to PEANUT BRITTLE and SMOKED CURRANTS, with waves of ANISEED, HAZELNUT, and PEPPER. A satisfyingly long finish brings with it notes of VANILLA FUDGE and CLOVE.
"Batch 4 is another incredible dram. Bottled under a full moon, tides have certainly shifted for this Traigh Bhan. More herbal and uniquely mentholic, this is a new take on our exquisite 19 year old series!" - Dr Bill Lumsden, Master Distiller
Colour: Yellow Gold.
Nose: Packed full of caramel and toffee followed by almonds, blackcurrant and hints of spice.
Palate: Rose petals, tropical fruit, walnuts, cherry and creamy toffee balanced with oak, tannins and hints of leather.
Finish: Unusually dry and nutty finish with a ginger spice.
Highland Park 12 Year Old remains one of the gold- standard malts for other distillery bottlings to aspire to. With a delicious sweetness (heather-honey is their preferred description) and a warming, silky mouthfeel, this is a whisky that never lets you down. "The greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky". Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson's Malt Whisky Companion
Peaty whisky from Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, named after a previous incarnation of the distillery. Maritime and smoky, this rivals some of the Islay drams for power, and the 10 year old balances the intensity of youth with rounded, well-aged spirit.
Using different aged liquids ranging from 7 to 21 years and by maturing the liquid in small batches in five unique casks, they have created a whisky that is rich and complex.
Octomore 13.3 demonstrates the phenomenal force of flavour when combining super-heavy peat with the variable harvests gathered from the island of Islay, on one singular farm. Raised by friend and farmer James Brown, just two miles south of the distillery, this crop of Concerto barley was distilled in 2016 from the 2015 growing season, has been
patiently coaxed through our Victorian distillery before being filled into first fill ex-American oak casks and second fill European oak casks.
Working with Islay barley is always a privilege. The ability to present it in a single estate, single vintage, single malt is perhaps even more poetic. From year to year, Head Distiller Adam Hannett works with the base spirit bestowed upon him by the grower, together with natural factors; the changing climate and weather system, agronomic yield decided by marauding deer and hungry geese, and the terroir of the field itself.
This particular Octomore Islay barley has been matured in a foundational parcel of first fill ex-American whiskey barrels and a supplementary selection of second fill European oak casks, hailing from the Rivesaltes region of France and the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. This European oak gives more subtle structure to the spirit, while the
American oak allows the spirit to take centre stage. Expect vanilla and brown sugar, counterbalanced
with fresh and round green fruit notes. The smoke is, as ever, gentle and dry, building to a long
finish with hints of creosote and sea spray.
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.
With spirit selected by the master distiller from Quarter Cask, PX Cask and Triple Wood (Oloroso sherry) and a final addition of 10 Year Old, it represents a subtle blending of peat, oak and sweetness.
