The Oban Distillery team have crafted Oban Little Bay by selecting small batches of their finest single malt whiskies, combining them in their smallest casks. This unique process – which increases the expose of the liquid to the cask wood – combined with the expert nose and palate of Malt Master Dr. Matthew Crow, delivers a classic rich, smooth Oban expression. This whisky is rich and fruity in typical Oban style, but with a more pronounced maritime and citrus character than the distillery’s signature 14 Year Old whisky.

Charles Maclean’s official tasting notes: Burnished copper in colour. A faintly oily nose, with brine, dried seaweed, sanded teak, and trace of fresh apples. At full strength the texture is oily and full-bodied; sweet overall, slightly salty, spicy across the tongue and in the finish; well-balanced, with lingering warmth and an aftertaste of almond cake.

A fabulous new release from The Octave series. The distillery here is top secret, however, we can promise you that it hails from an iconic Speyside location! It is an exceptionally tasting eleven year old dram. This is a sweet and fruity dram. Wonderfully easy to drink, it delivers an honest Speyside experience of fresh fruit, honeyed notes, and subtle baking spices. Consider us intrigued!

Expect aromas of fresh sherry, apricot, and fruit sorbet on the nose. The palate brings pavlova, red grapes, and slight hints of tobacco before leading into a finish full of cinnamon, brown sugar, and fresh ground coffee.

A rare limited-edition bottling from the famously smoky powerhouse that is the Octomore range, this single cask release is one of only 300 bottles. Filled from a 2nd Fill Rivesaltes cask, which once held a delicious, fortified dessert wine from the South of France, the liquid has an added sweetness alongside the typical Octomore smoke. Bottled at 56.3% abv, this 12 years old sits at 156ppm.

On the nose, hard sweets, cooking spices, and nuts, all tangled together with a waft of wood smoke. The palate adds richness with wine-soaked dried fruits, oak, leather, and brown sugar. The finish signs off with a traditional smoky signature, lingering with slightly herbal notes.  

Crafted with Islay barley grown only two miles from the distillery, this dram delivers a cereal-forward flavour profile celebrating the impact of the farming community who grew the grain. Head Distiller Adam Hannett used this grain peated at 214.2PPM, maturing in a combination of ex-American whiskey casks alongside second-fill wine casks, before bottling after five years at a massive 61.4% abv.

The nose opens with sweet biscuits, stoned fruits, apricots, peach and honeyed pears. The palate is shines with smouldering peat and delicate oak, followed by floral gorse, creamy porridge and sweet toffee. The finish has earthy smoke, malt, and barley sugar.

Aged for five years in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and re-charred bourbon casks, Octomore 15.1 has been peated to 108.2 PPM and bottled at a robust 59.1% abv. Bruichladdich have excelled once again with their super heavily peated annual release, with .1 serving as the backbone of each series.

Expect aromas of caramel, vanilla custard and sweet malt on the nose, with a palate of mango, banana, apricot jam, vanilla and toffee. The peat smoke explodes in the finish alongside sweet charred oak and a fresh marine crispness.
