Boisdale Only one may call itself The Glenlivet, only Braes of Glenlivet and Tamnavulin are produced in the valley, and only Tomintoul in the parish. These are all delicate malts, and it could be more tentatively argued that other valleys have malts that share certain characteristics. The Highland region includes a good few coastal and island malts, but one peninsula and just one island have been of such historical importance in the industry that they are each regarded as being regions in their own right. Campbeltown On the peninsula called the Mull of Kintyre, on the west coast of Scotland, Campbeltown once had about 30 distilleries. Today, it has only two. One of these, Springbank, produces two different single malts. This apparent contradiction is achieved by the use of a lightly peated malt in one and a smokier kilning in the other. The Campbeltown single malts are very distinctive, with a briny character. Although there are only three of them, they are still considered by serious malt lovers to represent a region in their own right. Islay Pronounced "eye-luh", this is the greatest of whisky islands: much of it deep with peat, lashed by the wind, rain and sea in the Inner Hebrides. It is only 25 miles long, but has no fewer than eight distilleries, although not all are working. Its single malts are noted for their seaweedy, iodine-like, phenolic character. A dash of Islay malt gives the unmistakable tang of Scotland to many blended whiskies. Tasting notes We have included a brief tasting note for each of the many single malt whiskies on our list which we hope will prove useful to both novice and seasoned drinkers. By their nature, tasting notes are always subjective and so you may not agree with what we say! We are indebted to the many different sources who have provided these notes, not least www.whisky-world.com which provides a wealth of information for the whisky enthusiast. We are lacking a few notes – so all submissions are welcome.

Boisdale 666 Aberfeldy 12yrs Southern Highlands, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail On the nose we find orange zest, incense and a touch of sherry. The palate is oily, with clean fruitiness and very lively, fresh flavours. The finish is like biting into a kumquat; then a long, fruity glow. 632 Aberlour “a’bunadh” Speyside, distillery bottling A wide spectrum of saturated shades of sherry and a very fruity nose. A big, sweet and woody cask strength malt with lots of oak in the finish. Softer and sweeter when diluted. 633 Aberlour 10yrs Speyside, distillery bottling Nutty, with nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon. Although peated it is very brandy-like and warming. Not overly challenging but quite satisfying, particularly with dessert. 634 Aberlour 15yrs Sherry Cask Speyside, distillery bottling Complex and sophisticated – a perfect balance of sherry and the malty, spicy, house character. The two elements are tightly combined, with the spicy flavours emerging slowly: nutmeg, aniseed and emphatic orange-flower. Long, soothing, with a minty and spicy finish. 635 Ardbeg 10yrs Islay, distillery bottling The nose is amazingly smoky with a whiff of tar-covered rope. The palate is robust with more peat smoke and the flavours of turf and Lapsang Souchong. A long finish with a fragrant peaty reek. Whilst flavour-packed this is still a delicate scotch. 651 Ardbeg Uigedail Islay, distillery bottling Pronounced 'Oog-a-dal' A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrel and sherry butt which gives a sweet and smokey finish to this malt.Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows. This 'huge' dram is, in the best traditions of Arbeg, intense. 622 Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist bottled 1990 Islay, distillery bottling There is a dark place on Islay, high above the Ardbeg Distillery, called Airigh Nam Beist (pronounced'arry-nam-bayst') which in Gaelic means 'shelter of the beast'.. It is made up entirely of stock from 1990 distillate. Due to its greater age, it has a softer, more rounded flavour than the Ardbeg 10 year old . It shows a creamy, smoky flavour with hints of fennel and pine nuts. Aged in ex-bourbon oak barrels. 660 Ardbeg ‘Lord of the Isles’ Islay, distillery bottling A deep smoky yet balanced aroma with powerful peat and a sweet mouth feel. The palate is silky with the a of fruitiness, usually reminiscent of lemons, with a momentary suggestion of cherries. The flavours become almondy and walnut-like, then rooty and peppery. A long dry finish with chocolate malt and crushed peat. 40% £10.30 59.9% £11.20 40% £7.20 40% £8.30 46% £10.30 54.2% £12.80 46% £8.50 46% £42.00 All spirits are sold in measures of 25ml or multiples thereof All prices listed are for a large measure of 50ml.
