Named after the rugged stretch of coats that lays north of the distillery, Sanaigmore is a coastal point located on the north of Islay that is often battered with the high winds and crushing waves of the Atlantic. The whisky itself is matured in both sherry casks and bourbon cask but takes most of its influence from the sherry cask that it ages in. This gives the whisky a deep rich fruit cake flavour that balances incredibly with the pure Islay peated smoke of the Kilchoman spirit.

The nose is fragrant with hints of heather, raisins and mixed spices with and overhanging scent of peat smoke. The Palate is rich with over ripe fruit and berries that work along side flavours of dark chocolate and toffee to create a balanced malt. The finish is soft and sweet to start with but quickly develops into a peaty smoke that dances with the sweet flavours of the malt.

Created with Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred casks, this single malt from Islay’s Kilchoman is limited to just 14,500 bottles worldwide. Distilled in 2012 and matured in 43 hogsheads that had been treated by the STR process, this expression was bottled in 2019 at a strength of 50% abv free from chill filtration and artificial colouring.

The nose is very fruity with a hearty cinnamon spice and gentle peat smoke. The palate brings soft caramel and layers of red berries, lemon citrus and earthy peat smoke, before a long and spicy finish with honey and caramel adding balance.

A rare gem from the Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, this Kilkerran expression has been aged for 16 years in bourbon casks. Bottled at 46% abv, this lovely wee dram is the oldest Kilkerran release yet.

Getting your hands on a Kinclaith single malt is like striking gold. This exceptionally rare expression was distilled on 28th May 1969 before slumbering in a hogshead cask for 40 years. Bottled on 16th October 2009, this whisky was bottled at a cask strength of 47.3% abv. With just 217 bottles available, this would be the crown jewel in any whisky collection.

Fit for a king. The first bottling from this distillery purposefully did not use an efficient, time-saving method. It was distilled using West-Coast malt, using innovative distillation methods and hand-selected bourbon and Oloroso casks. Bottled at 46% abv, this is free from chill filtration. The signature and leading whisky from a new distillery, this is one fit for Lowland single malt enthusiasts to dig their teeth into. 

On the nose aromas of fresh green apple arise, softening to ripe barley, sweet vanilla, and caramelised sugar. The palate gives a quick punch of green apple, tropical fruits, and coffee, leading into notes of chocolate powder, and molasses. The finish is long, with hints of buttered toffee, black pepper, and with enough warmth to keep you cosy over the festive season.
