Chivas Regal 18 Year Old has been created by using whiskies matured for at least 18 years which has resulted in this very special Whisky. Exceptional richness with aromas of buttery toffee, dark chocolate and dried fruit. Hints of spices and smoke combine to produce a long, warm finish.

From the oldest operating distillery in the Scottish Highlands, Chivas Regal has been famous for its extraordinary selection of malt Whiskies. Matured for 12 years the result is a rich and generous Whisky with honey and hazelnut notes and a long creamy finish.

Given the maltings is a big toy really, you can play with it and that is what Ian Miller, distillery manager decided to do when he ordered in a batch of heavy Speyside peat to trial at The Balvenie in 2002.

The Singleton of Dufftown Malt Master Single Malt Scotch Whisky, aged in hand picked barrels, is a smooth whiskey with a sweet taste. Notes of vanilla, honey, fresh pear and rich fruit with a touch of ash round out the flavour, especially, if enjoyed neat.

The Dalmore distillery was founded by Alexander Matheson in 1839, a merchant adventurer determined to create an exceptional single malt whisky. In 1867, descendants of Clan Mackenzie took control of the distillery. One of their first changes was to adorn every bottle of The Dalmore with the stag – a guarantee of peerless quality. The 12-point Royal Stag proudly adorns each bottle of The Dalmore, encapsulating the distillery’s regal legacy, dating back to 1263. The emblem was bestowed upon Colin of Kintail, the first chieftain of Clan Mackenzie, after he saved the life of King Alexander III of Scotland from the fury of a charging stag. The idiosyncratic collection of stills at the distillery creates a unique new make spirit – robust and fruity, particularly well-suited for longer and more complex maturation. This allows the whisky makers to ensure each cask of spirit reaches its full potential. Richard Paterson, a pioneer in the art of cask curation, was the creative force behind The Dalmore for nearly five decades. He lit the way for current Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass who continues an unbroken chain of visionary whisky makers, always pushing boundaries to mature the spirit in the rarest and most exalted of casks. Hand selected casks, from the world's finest bodegas and wineries are expertly curated to create a sumptuous and layered whisky of legendary finesse. The Dalmore 25 Year Old was first introduced in 2013, following the distillery's tradition of being matured in an extensive selection of casks, The spirts for the Dalmore 25 was initially aged in American white oak, before being hand-divided into 25 year old Palomino Fino sherry butts and first-fill bourbon casks. After these two steps the whiskies are married in carefully selected bourbon barrels before before finished in Tawny Port pipes from Portugal. The nose is full of aromatic exotic fruits, citrus, vanilla pods, treacle toffee and fig cake. On the palate are flavours of Madagascan vanilla pods, thick treacle toffee and chocolate truffles with a finish of maple syrup, dark chocolate and spiced gingerbread.

With a wholemeal and honey quality to the nose and the odd smoky tangent. A sweet, fruity core and a long round finish. Dalwhinnie has a little bit of everything, peat, honey and backbone. A classic malt for everyone.
