GLENKINCHIE 12 Year Old Classic Malt Bottle (70cl)
£31.95
43.0%alc
The Glenkinchie 10 Year Old has a rich gold, almost Chardonnay colour and fresh, citric
(tangerines) aromas. Green grass, with some moss, hay and light cereal notes and also faintly
floral - like summer meadows with a delicate whiff of smoke. It has a good balance of primary
flavours. Fresh and clean with hints of Sugar Puffs (brand) but the overall impression is dry.
There is an interesting hint of ginger in the finish, which is dry.

JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 84 POINTS - 'Slick and fruity, you can close your eyes and think
of Jerez. Oban seems a long way away. A very decent dram, I grant you. But I want my old,
bracing, mildly smoky, fruitless Oban back!!! Those who prefer malts with a sheen, sweet and
with enormous fruit depth won't be disappointed.'

HIGHLAND PARK 12 Year Old Bottle (70cl)
40.0%alc
£29.95
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 92 POINTS - 'Sublime: the peat is almost sprinkled on by hand in
exact measures, the honey and vague molasses guaranteeing controlled sweetness, salt, old
leather and apples in there, too; moderately weighty mouth arrival, sweet yet young
enough oak to offer some bitter complexity. This fabulous bitter-sweet balance pans out in
favour of the honey though there is enough peat around to add extra weight; long, spicy,
some earthy heather and more oak then usual. Excellent cocoa hangs about with the peat; it
defies belief that an international brand can maintain this quality.'
HIGHLAND PARK 18 Year Old Bottle (70cl)
43.0%alc
£69.95
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 95 POINTS - 'An empty honey jar which once held peaty
embers.An enormous nose of excellent consistency, with salty butter and burnt honeycomb is
always present; beautifully sweet, in some ways sweeter than even the 12-y-o thanks to some
manuka honey, which is accentuated against the drier oaky tones and rumbling peat towards
the back of the palate: beautifully chewy, a touch oily and wholly substantial; some citrus,
heathery notes, controlled oak and outstanding cocoa and peat: long and rewarding; a
consistent dram of enormous weight and complexity.

CHIVAS REGAL 12 Year Old Premium Scotch Bottle (70cl) £28.95
40.0%alc
Distinguished by its light, lingering aroma, full, smooth palate and balanced flavour with a
hint of smoke, Chivas Regal is a Scotch of subtle and complex character. From its origins at
Strathisla - the oldest operating distillery in The Highlands - this blend of the finest malt and
mature grain whiskies deserves the accolade 'Scotland's Prince of Whiskies'.
THE BAILIE NICOL JARVIE Scotch Whisky Bottle (70cl) £23.95
40.0%alc
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 93 POINTS - 'As fruity and mouthwatering as a riesling. Green,
grassy and youthful with almost perfect grain balance; tarty and biting, the nose translates to
palate with mouthwatering Speyside malt in harmony with exquisite flinty grain. It rarely gets
better than this; more grain here as the malt slowly wanders off and late oak adds to length
with a brush of cocoa; poetry in solution: a must-have blend for every cabinet.'

TALISKER 18 Year Old Malt Bottle (70cl)
45.8%alc
£66.95
With an amber colour, the nose is rich and fruity - Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried
orange peel - with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind. With
water, appropriately, maritime characteristics and smokiness of an unstruck match emerge.
The palate is sweet up front, then more assertive, with a whiff of smoke. The overall effect is
warming.

40.0%alc
£28.95

59.9%alc
£45.95
A 19th-century-style whisky matured exclusively in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts, then
bottled at cask strength. Dark, luxurious and powerful; a superb after-dinner malt. It has a
deep, rich amber colour and an intoxicating aroma of mixed spices, praline and spiced orange,
harmonising with rich, deep notes of Oloroso sherry. On the palate it shouts of oranges, black
cherries, dried fruit and ginger, spiked with dark bitter chocolate and enriched with sherry
and oak. Full-bodied and creamy. The finish is robust and intense, with bitter-sweet notes of
exotic spices, dark chocolate and oak.
BALVENIE 15 Year Malt Single Barrel Bottle (70cl)
£54.95
47.8%alc
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 93 POINTS - 'Cracking vanilla-malt split. Complex, intriguing,
something to really get your nose into. Quite maltings-floorish; massive malt surge is
invigorating and mouthwatering. Glorious; keeps clean and relatively oak-free; just one of
those drams that should be within touching distance at strategic points around the house.
Being single barrel the bottlings do change quite regularly: fortunately the magnificence of
the quality rarely does.'
BENRIACH Over 20 Years Old Bottle (70cl)
43.0%alc
£56.95
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 94 POINTS - 'Superb, understated buttery peat: like sticking
your nose in the grist mill; an avalanche of honeyed peat, highly unusual and distinctive; hard
and flinty on the palate; spices drift over the palate as the peat enters into cocoa mode;
unique: never come across such a bone-hard onslaught of peat and honey in one glass.'
CARDHU 12 Year Old Single Malt Bottle (70cl)
£32.95

JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE -90 POINTS - 'Just about the cleanest, most uncluttered, pure,
sweet malt you will ever find, a touch of apple, perhaps, giving an extra dimension; again the
malt is pure and rich, just a thread of oak adding some dryness and depth; vanilla and malt.'
CRAGGANMORE 12 Year Old Malt Bottle (70cl)
£29.95

nose prickle. When served neat there is a whiff of brimstone to start, accompanied by a
singed or charred notes. Toffee in the background. When diluted Oloroso sherry, some
turpentine or pine essence, with cider apples; some sandalwood and indeterminate floral
scents become apparent. Leather and burnt matches are just detectable. Mouthfilling with a
full, sweet start, followed by some astringency and a a short bitter finish. Some herbal
flavours and dry sherry.

43.0%alc
£12.95
£23.95
£34.95
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE - 90 POINTS - 'Honeycomb and barley concentrate; just about
perfect mouthfeel: a touch oily but gloriously sweet barley, a dash of fruit and drying vanilla;
much less demonstrative, but the oak is sublime, the length eternal; it is unlikely Speyside
offers a much better 12-year-old.'
GLENFARCLAS 15 Year Old Malt Bottle (70cl)
£44.95
46.0%alc
Dark, sherried malt from one of the best distilleries in Speyside. As always it remains one of
the best value malts on the market, especially compared to Macallan. On the nose we find
fruitcake, raisins, honey, crystallised ginger, orange marmalade, mixed peel, heather and cake
spices like cinnamon and clove. The palate is medium-full and silkily-texured and continues
with the flavours from the nose all on a base of polished oak, leading to a very smooth, long
finish.
