- #802860 - Rivesalts Wine Finish
DISTILLED on 17th October 2012 and BOTTLED on 3rd April 2024.
Matured in a hogshead and finished in a Rivesalts cask from Giraud in Segonzac for over 4 years giving notes of orange natural sweetness, tangerine and fruit jam.
Other than the official Flora & Fauna 10yo release, independent bottlers such as ourselves are the only way to explore this vastly underrated distillery. This edition has spent its final 4 years in a rarely seen Rivesalts cask adding dried fruit and chocolate orange notes.
Tasting revealed - cinnamon bun, glacé cherries and walnut.

- #300445 - ex-Rum Finish
DISTILLED on 5th February 2013 and BOTTLED on 20th March 2024.
Founded in 1896 and noted for adopting a longer than average fermentation time resulting in a light, sweet and fruity distillate. Matured in a hogshead and then finished in an ex-rum cask for over 6 months.
Longer than normal fermentation time and wide middle cut distillation promotes the fruity notes in this classic Speysider. This combined with its 6 month finish in a very ‘oak forward’ rum barrel has created something truly memorable.
Tasting revealed - Jamaica cake, hazelnut and coconut.

DISTILLED on 26th February 2014 and BOTTLED on 11th April 2024.
Located near idilic Pitlochry and with foundations dating back to 1778. The distillate is medium bodied , sweet and fruity. Fully matured in a first fill ex-bourbon barrel for notes of sweetness and vanilla.
This distillery has the character and body to stand up to even the most active casks for full term maturation. This sweet and nutty make has paired perfectly with the vanilla and spice flavours offered by this fresh bourbon barrel.
Tasting revealed - sandalwood, chocolate oat biscuits and tinned melon.

- #3372 - Tawny Port finish
DISTILLED on 29th November 2007 and BOTTLED on 11th April 2024.
Recognised for producing a dry, smoky distillate with floral hints. This release is from a rare heavily peated spirit run called Lochindaal. Matured in a first fill bourbon barrel with an ex-Tawny Port finish.
We are delighted to offer this modern rarity from this iconic distillery. Rumour has it that only 250 casks of Lochindaal were distilled between 2007 and 2009 making this one of the oldest bottled. Finished for around 8 months in a 2nd fill tawny port cask offering light fruit notes and with a peating level of 50ppm to sit in-between the core release Port Charlotte and Octomore levels.
Tasting revealed - sea spray, oyster and charred orange.

- #800178 - Tawny Port Finish
DISTILLED on 9th January 2008 and BOTTLED on 19th March 2024.
A fruity, floral and honeyed distillate. Matured in a hogshead for 10 years and finished in a first fill ex-tawny port cask, sourced from J. Dias cooperage for the remaining years.
One of our favourite malts to work with due to its natural fruitiness and waxiness, this whisky has spent its final 6 years maturing in a Tawny port cask from J. Dias cooperage. This cooperage produces port casks that are less aggressive on the oak influence allowing a longer softer finish on the whisky, hence the reason that even after 6 long years, the Glen Elgin character isn’t overwhelmed.
Tasting revealed - Manuka honey, toffee apple and cassia bark.

- #52716 - refill ex-bourbon barrel
DISTILLED on 10th December 1993 and BOTTLED on 17th April 2024.
Founded in 1885 in Edinburgh. This distillate has a heavier character compared to other grain distilleries due to the use of maize. Fully matured in an ex-bourbon barrel for notes of vanilla and spice.
Our local grain distillery located just over the water in Edinburgh produces one of the heavier grain whiskies on offer. Fully matured in a very well used refill barrel that was also leaking throughout its life has led to a very soft and gentle but mature single grain whisky at a very very approachable ABV.
Tasting revealed - marzipan, vanilla ice cream and pineapple.

- Refill Butt
This exceptional blended scotch whisky is created in our unique and special way by blending malt and grain whiskies from different distilleries and differing spirit styles. Each batch is small, bespoke and distinctly different from the last. Bottled and hand labelled in our own warehouse where you'll be glad to know, no artificial colouring or chill-filtration takes place.
The latest edition to our blended Scotch brand family is a 'classic blend'. By this we mean a mix of malt and grain whiskies blended in the tradition style. In this case we have a selection of whiskies that have been blended when they were young and married back into a refill butt for a very long time, presumably intended to be bottled one day as an old and premium blended scotch from one of the famous blending houses. Thankfully we have managed to rescue a cask of this blend and present it in very limited form.
The taste offered - creme brûlée, cola cubes, nutmeg, pencil shavings, walnut and apple strudel.

DISTILLED on 23rd December 2008 and BOTTLED on 10th January 2024
A fruity Distillate with honey, malt and spicy notes. Fully matured in a refill barrel for layers of fudge, spice and dried coconut.
The first distillery to carry a royal warrant, Brackla is known for its classic Highland spiciness and mildly smoky soft fruit character. This has been mellowed here somewhat by maturing fully for over 15 years in a refill barrel adding vanilla sweetness, tropical fruits and some citrus notes.
Tasting revealed - panna cotta, citrus peel and chocolate honeycomb, apricot, roasted chestnuts, mature oak, walnut oil, blackcurrant compote and boiled orange sweets.

DISTILLED on 9th November 2006 and DISTILLED on 15th January 2024
Our latest ‘Myosotis’ bottling - the Latin name for the ’Forget-Me-Not’ flower, is the perfect name for this bottling with such a low yield. We rescued the nearly forgotten last drops to create a special edition of only 48 bottles. Fully matured in a refill hogshead allowing the mature nature of this spirit to shine.
Tasting revealed - custard creams, melon and liquorice.
