This latest Rare Cask Release is a Highland single malt whisky that was hand selected and bottled exclusively for the U.K. It spent its ten year long maturation in an Oloroso sherry puncheon, and has yielded 713 bottles in the release. Distilled on the 4^th of June 2010, this arrives at a hearty strength of 57% abv. This expression is free from chill filtration and artificial colouring.

The nose is full of a plethora of berry fruits, with a certain cocoa dryness accompanying ground coffee notes. The palate is a big hit of vanilla, followed by pineapple, coconut milk, and banana. The finish is long, lingering, with hints of creaminess.

Nose: fragrant with herbal oak spices, dark raisins, sour plums and cracked black pepper.

Palate: fresh toasted oak and cranberry compote with a cigar box spice.

Finish: rich barley and wild raspberries linger on.

A 30-year-old expression from Glenglassaugh, this was released in August 2013 and was awarded Gold at the 2016 International Wine & Spirits Competition in the 30-year-old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky category. Presented in a striking teardrop decanter, this is a rich, sherry-cask single malt whisky.

A rich nose,with sweet Sherry notes, dried fruit and spices. A hint of oak and yet more sherry, chocolate and spice on the palate. Rich with lingering coffee which develops into a Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut finish.

Nose: clotted cream and apple crumble with delicious waves of sweet heather burning on a hillside.

Palate: contrasts the warmth of cracked pepper with apricot jam and plums.

Finish: delicate and sweet from the interaction of Highland peat with the oak casks.

Glengoyne 10 Year Old is a sweet Highland single malt that has been matured in hand-selected sherry casks crafted from European and American oak. This expression comes at 40% abv. 

The nose is clean with notes of fresh grass, green apples and sweet liquorice. The palate is sweet with popcorn, fudge and a hint of nuttiness before orchard fruits shine through in the finish.

Glengoyne 21 Year Old is a spectacular single malt that has been matured in hand-selected sherry casks for just over two decades before being bottled at 43% abv without chill filtration or added colouring. 

The nose has red apples, toffee, sherry and spicy strudel. Plenty of sherry continues on the palate, alongside honey, oak and a developing aromatic sensation. The finish has a nip of warming cinnamon spice. 

Three generations of whisky-expertise, finding harmony in one expression. The backstory with this is that it underwent a phenomenal 36 years of aging in a refill sherry butt. The story goes that at a Sunday lunch at Peter Russell’s house, Tom brought some samples for the Glengoyne single cask. This specific cask blew them away. It is the only time that one cask has been unanimously agreed upon as the best. More than that though, they have chosen this bottle to celebrate the three generations of Russell’s master distillers. A very limited release of 402 bottles is available. Distilled in 1984, this was only brought up in 2021. Free from chill filtration, this comes with a cask-imparted colour, as is presented at 50.7% abv.

Light aromas of sherbert, mint, lemon meringue pie, stewed apples, coconut, cinnamon, strawberry and leather arise on the nose. Notes of tropical fruits arrive on a rich, creamy palate, complementing other flavours of chocolate, cherry, and dried banana. The finish is beautifully sherried, spicy, and pleasing. Top-marks.
