An easy-drinking style, taking the distillery's classically rugged character and softening it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. More approachable, but still definitely Talisker. Talisker Skye was introduced in early 2015, named after the beautiful island on which the distillery resides. This expression brings with it a more well-rounded and sweet flavour profile packed with fresh citrus, sweet smoke, peppery spice and traditional Talisker maritime notes. It's matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks, with a slightly higher proportion of toasted casks. Perfect for those who perhaps find the classic Talisker flavour profile a bit too much, not to say that Talisker fans won't enjoy it too. Double Gold | 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Speyside whisky distillery with a bold approach to the art of distillation and cask maturation. BenRiach 10-Year-Old is classic Speyside in character. The cask formula focuses on ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. A pleasant character, with green apple, tropical fruit, vanilla and toffee. A medium-long finish with chocolate and light oak.

Suntory Whisky was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii. For over three generations, Suntory's master blenders have devoted themselves to pursuing the harmony of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. Shaped through masterful technique and served with a reverence for Japanese omotenashi, Suntory whiskies are among the most awarded and admired in the world. Hibiki is the paragon of harmony - launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory's philosophy of living in harmony with people and nature.The name Hibiki means "resonance" in Japanese. Suntory Whisky Hibiki resonates with the subtleties of nature infused by the twenty-four seasons of Japan's traditional calendar and reflected in the twenty-four facets of its bottle's design.Hibiki is a noble blend of innumerous malt and grain whiskies from Suntory globally acclaimed Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. The whiskies are meticulously blended to create a sense of "wa" - a oneness which unveils a full orchestra of flavours and aroma.Hibiki is embraced as an icon of Japanese luxury from the award winning House of Suntory Whisky.

Hibiki is a meticulous blend of the finest malt and grain whiskies carefully selected from three Suntory distilleries: Yamazaki (Japan's first distillery), Hakushu (the mountain forest distillery), the Chita distillery (where grain whiskies are produced). Suntory artisans perfect this harmonious blend to create a full symphony of delicate flavours and blossoming aromas.The HIBIKI bottle is embellished with 24 facets. Each facet symbolises the traditional Japanese lunar calendar celebrating the 24 hours within the 24 seasons of the year. The label is made from pure Echizen Washi, a traditional Japanese paper, designed by the artist Eriko Horiki. Each washi is carefully handcrafted using authentic materials and traditional Japanese methods. The "HIBIKI" kanji was written by the renowned calligrapher Tansetsu Ogino, accentuating the elegance of the washi.This Suntory Whisky "HIBIKI 21 year" has Mt. Fuji drawn in austere black and white with Japanese Plum, Pine and Bamboo painted on its skirts - symbolising felicitations, wishing happiness and good fortunes. Also echoed is the Japanese sensitivity to the transience of seasons.

Hibiki 21 Year Old was, yet again, selected as the best-blended whisky in the world at the World Whisky Awards 2017. Hibiki has been awarded every year at the WWA since 2009. The judges described it as being Elegant, sweet and complex. This whisky is full of dried fruit, orange peel, strawberry jam, and baked apple from start to finish. Smooth, subtle and fairly short.
