A wonderful single malt from the island of Orkney. Aged in American oak and then finished in casks that used to contain peated whisky. Glansa is described as a gentle introduction to the world of peated whisky. Fresh fruit, caramel, vanilla with a noticeably smoky finish.

Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Talisker Distillery is the only functional single malt whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye, one of largest and northernmost islands of Scotland. It has long been known for having a singularly exclusive style and profile of single malt Scotch whisky from all other distilleries across Scotland. Like Islay single malts are known to be heavily peated, whereas Speyside single malts are known for their pleasant light and floral character, Talisker is known for its balance of spicy and peated single malts. Oh! Talisker whiskies are always bottled at 45.8% ABV, substantially higher than the 40% ABV for other Scotch whiskies.

A Japanese exclusive, this high ABV bottling from Kirin is reported to be "very Bourbon like". Launched in March 2016, the blend features medium and heavy-type grain whiskies combined with a minor peated malt component

Scottish Leader Scotch

Scottish Leader is the blended scotch brand from Burn Stewart Distillers, a company perhaps best known for the Bunnahabhain single malts. As such, it is the work of Ian MacMillan, a 40-year veteran of the scotch industry who has served as Master Blender at Burn Stewart since 2002. MacMillan reportedly based the Scottish Leader blend on a 19th Century recipe of the Ross Brothers of Dunbarton, and the brand name itself dates back to the 1940s Positioned as an alternative to the big mass market blends, Scottish Leader is now distributed in more than 60 countries. So, if the label isn’t familiar now, it should become so in the future.

Hudson Four Grain Bourbon

Up in New York, Hudson Four Grain bourbon is made using the Tuthilltown distillery's unique recipe of corn, rye, wheat and malted barley. Hold on a minute, that’s four grains - like what the name says! Tuthilltown Spirits were producers of the first legal pot-still whiskey in New York since prohibition. Four Grain is aged in small three-gallon barrels to accelerate maturation, and each bottle is numbered and wax-dipped by hand. The interaction of the four grains is intriguing and rather unique.

Royal Salute 32 Year Old

The new Royal Salute 32 Year Old Union of the Crowns, according to Chivas Brothers, is a blend of Scotch single malt and single grain whiskies aged for a minimum of 32 years. The distilleries these whiskies are drawn from are said to include “Longmorn with its creamy texture; the characteristically fruity Glen Keith; the sweetness of Tormore and the richness of Braeval as well as long-since closed distilleries – Lochside and Caperdonich.”
