The Whisky Cask
Ardbeg 10 year
Islay malt 46%
It is said that the location of Ardbeg distillery was once the hideout of smugglers who dispersed after their cache was discovered by the Excise men. Peat smoke, iodine, seaweed and sawdust on the nose. Smokey, salty flavour. The older expressions gain in depth but all have the powerful aromas associated with Islay malts.

Balvenie 12 year Double Wood
Price: £31.98
Highland malt 40%. The Double Wood is a 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. During its period of maturation it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill Spanish oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt - the traditional casks, having previously held bourbon, soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
Quantity:
Balvenie 15 year
Price: £42.99
Highland malt 47%. The Balvenie Single Barrel Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a 15 year old single malt which is drawn from a single bourbon cask of a single distillation. Each cask forms a limited edition of hand-numbered bottles - there will be a maximum of 350 bottles from any one cask - so each bottle is unique and unrepeatable. Each cask is subtly different, however, The Balvenie Malt Master selects for bottling only those casks that have the essential characteristics of The Balvenie Single Barrel - particularly honey, vanilla and oaky notes.
Quantity:
Balvenie Port Wood Finish
Price: £84.99
21 year old Highland malt 40%. The rare 21 Year Old Balvenie - which has been matured in traditional oak casks - is transferred to a port cask, or pipe, which has held fine port wines.

Bowmore 12 year
Price: £25.98
Islay malt 40%
Bowmore is considered to be the 'capital' of Islay with its quirky round church, and the distillery on the quayside.
A much more complex nose than the southern Islays, and fuller than their northern cousins. The nose is peaty, but not medicinal; the flavour is big, sweet and resonant; there are traces of linseed oil and pure turpentine, reminiscent of a painter's studio; a salty tang, and billows of smoke.

Pronounced 'brewichladdie', from the most westerly of Scottish distilleries. A delicate nose, biscuity, slightly oily, with a hint of seaweed; there is no trace of peat until water is added, and then it is only slight - little to betray its Islay origin. Flavour is fresh at first, with almonds, moss and sea breeze, developing into a sweet finish. A complex and subtle malt.

Has been described as a ladies' whisky. Lightly scented with violets and sweet almonds; notes of peachstones and honeycomb, a whiff of smoke.

Part of the Classic Malt series 40%
Nosed straight, Cragganmore has a polished leather aroma, with a hint of sherry; when water is added, other sweet scents emerge: pine essence, spices, cider apples, leather. The overall impression is complex, clean and fresh. The taste begins dry and finishes sweet; there is plenty of sherry, but it doesn't mask a variety of other herbal notes.

Edradour 10 year
40%. From the smallest distillery in Scotland, established by a group of farmers in Perthshire. Edradour shows an extraordinary floral nose and a light but substantial body. At ten years old this is a beautifully developed whisky, with layer upon layer that unravel across one's tongue. It is sweetish to start with and spicy to finish with just a trace of sherry, but more of mint and a buttery aftertaste. Clean and fresh, this is a dram for any time of day or night.
Price: £31.98
Quantity:
Edradour 11 year cask
59% single cask whisky, with a port wood finish. Edradour is a unique, single Highland malt whisky, to be enjoyed in recognition of those small, significant moments that make up the ebb and flow of life. It is produced in Scotland's smallest distillery - and is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky making. Indeed equipment used at the distillery has remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few.
