Jameson Gold Reserve is a triple distilled blend of rich pot still and grain whiskeys.

Unlike the rest of our range, Reserve also introduces virgin oak barrels into the mix, which contribute hints of spicy new wood.
The Westward American Single Malt is American Whiskey with a no age statement from the House Spirits Distillery based in Portland, Oregon. The brewing style of the Westward American Single Malt Whiskey is inspired by the spirit and the art of brewing and the traditions of the Pacific Northwest. The culture of the Oregon region is what also inspired the name.
Founded in the mid-19th century, the Wiser’s brand offers a range of traditional Canadian whiskies. Wiser’s has been distilled in Ontario from its inception and has upheld the traditional production methods established by its founder. J.P. Wiser, the son of a Dutch farmer, created Wiser’s in 1857 near Prescott on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River in Canada. Seeking to produce high-quality whisky, he was meticulous in his choice of ingredients and wood for the casks in which the spirit should age. Today, Wiser’s is still handmade, blended for smoothness and aged in white-oak casks
A much-loved single malt, Cardhu is an easy-going, charming Speysider. With clean, crisp oak and sweet malt evoking flavours of honeyed flapjacks and home-made caramel squares, this is one for the sweet-toothed among you.
The Double Wood expression from Australian distillery Bakery Hill features single malt whisky which was initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in French oak casks. This finishing period brings some additional plum and orange peels notes to the table, complimenting the malty notes from the Classic Malt.
The 16 year old Bushmills builds on the soft, smoothness of the 10 year old and adds some very nice fruity characters. The whiskey is initially aged seperately for 15 years in both bourbon and sherry casks then these are married together into port wood for around a year of extra finishing. The port wood adds some delicious flavours of red fruits, some sweetness and hints of candy and chocolate. Like all Bushmills whiskeys it is very smooth but this one has a sweeter, fruitier edge than them all.
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
"The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill has been aged in a first fill, ex-bourbon cask for at least 12 years. Almost all Scotch Whisky is matured in casks previously used by Bourbon distillers. When brought to Scotland and used for the very first time they are known as ‘First Fill’.
