Bulleit Bourbon is a straight Bourbon whiskey that is well-known in Bourbon loving circles for its high Rye content, a unique quality that has helped the brand stand out among other Bourbon brands.
Aged in oak casks for at least sixteen years, this much sought-after single malt has the massive peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay - but also offering a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram.

The meaning of the word ‘Amrut’ literally translates to ‘the ‘Elixir of life’, is the first single malt whisky to be ever produced in India.

One of budget supermarket chain Lidl’s affordable blended Scotch whiskies, Queen Margot is available in a small range of expressions, from a no-age-statement three-year-old, through to an eight-year-old bottling.
Dunville's Three Crowns was an Irish whiskey produced by Dunville in Belfast years and years ago, though sadly the Dunville's brand was lost to the ravages of time in the 1930s. Fast-forward to 2016, and the Echlinville distillery (Northern Ireland's first licensed distillery in over 125 years) have revitalised the Dunville name and relaunched Dunville's Three Crowns! Huzzah!
The Distiller’s Choice is a no-age-statement single malt Scotch that is the gateway to Longmorn Whisky's core range of Scotch whiskies. It is one of the best performing single malt Scotch whiskies in competitions and tasting competitions, enjoying much success in loyal circles of whisky enthusiasts. The Distiller’s Choice is a terrific release from Longmorn, who have made good use of drawing influence from a variety of barrels at their disposal.
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.
Water, yeast and barley are the prime ingredients in the making of The Glenlivet Whisky, much like many Scotch whiskies. It is the history associated with the brand, and the commitment with which The Glenlivet is created, is what really sets it apart from others. With the expert techniques of the brand, a precise 200-year-old process of making whisky and maturation in French Limousin Oak, The Glenlivet 15-year-old has its own unique taste.
Maturing with the passage of time, Genius Whisky undoubtedly takes one to the soaring heights of pleasure.
