Celebrating one of our most famous bards and his interpretation of the centuries-old folk song John Barleycorn. The poem about planting, harvesting, malting and brewing is a personification of barley and a life-cycle metaphor for alcohol itself.

This delicious blended malt whisky is a marriage of Glen Spey from a port cask, Caol Ila from a port cask and Glen Moray from an ex-bourbon barrel blended and married together in an ex-Oloroso quarter cask. Bottled at 48.5%

DISTILLED 26th November 2013 AND BOTTLED 12th January 2026

The cask yielded only 137 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 59.1%

A lightly peated spirit with notes of woodsmoke, apple and slightly floral character. Matured in a barrel and finished for two years in a refill oloroso quarter cask.

A beautifully well balanced, lightly peated highland spirit oozing with class. Matured for 10 years in a very leaky barrel before we re-racked it into a refill oloroso quarter cask for two years offering a light fruitiness.

The tasting revealed red apple skin, burnt toffee and smoked herbs.

DISTILLED 19th January 2015 AND BOTTLED 20th January 2026

The cask yielded only 299 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 57.9%

Matured in a hogshead and finished in an ex-Manzanilla cask for over 2 years giving layers of apple, almonds and oak sweetness.

Another 2 year finish but this time in a ‘lesser seen’ Manzanilla cask. A softer side of sherry influence but definitely offers this lively Speysider a nutty sweetness and baked fruit quality.

The tasting revealed panettone, cinnamon bark and honeycomb.

DISTILLED 5th March 2014 AND BOTTLED 5th January 2026

The cask yielded only 214 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 54.7%

The distillate is medium bodied, sweet and fruity. Matured in a Refill Hogshead before it was reracked into a 1st fill ex-Amontillado barrique for over six years layering notes of rich dried fruit and leather.

Back into the Highlands and to one of the country’s most visited distilleries. Blair Athol’s nutty new make character pairs perfectly with sherry maturation hence the reason the spirit shines here after over 6 years and over half its life in an ex-Amontillado cask.

The tasting revealed cassia bark, dark chocolate and glazed apple.

DISTILLED 17th February 2016 AND BOTTLED 18th February 2026

The cask yielded only 226 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 63.6%

Founded in 2015 on the site of the closed Imperial distillery. Matured in a bourbon barrel and reracked into a first fill ex-oloroso barrel for over 7 years giving layers of rich dried fruit and sweetness.

Founded in 2015 and one of Speyside’s newest distilleries, we’re delighted to be presenting one of the very first bottlings from this distillery at 10 years old. Matured for over 5 years in a fresh Oloroso cask offering intense fruit and spice notes.

The tasting revealed raisins & dates, honey cereal and red apple skins.

DISTILLED 24th January 2013 AND BOTTLED 26th January 2026

The cask yielded only 248 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 56.5%

A full bodied, meaty distillate matured in a hogshead then finished in a first fill ex-Oloroso cask for over a year giving layers of rich dried fruit and spice.

‘The Beast of Dufftown’ really lives up to its name here with this full bodied, rich and fruity malt. Over 2 years in an Oloroso cask has added dried fruit sweetness to balance out the meaty spirit beautifully.

The tasting revealed brown sugar, new leather and chocolate cherries.

DISTILLED 26th October 2005 AND BOTTLED 18th February 2026

The cask yielded only 203 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 58.1%

Recognised for producing a dry, smoky distillate with floral hints. Port Charlotte is a heavily peated spirit run from Bruichladdich. Matured in a first fill bourbon barrel for layers of sweetness and honey.

A rare find indeed! We’re thrilled to share this very special cask and celebrate one of Islay’s finest. Heavily peated but well matured in a refill cask allowing for a mellower impression of smoke whilst allowing some vanilla and spice through from the cask.

The tasting revealed toasted brioche, BBQ pineapple and light camphor.

DISTILLED 10th December 2015 AND BOTTLED 7th January 2026

The cask yielded only 290 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 55.4%

A medium bodied distillate with a sweet, light and grassy character. Fully matured in a Refill Hogshead to allow the elegant expression of apple orchard fruit.

Located in the heart of Speyside, this ‘classic’ Speysider was originally brought into our warehouse for re-racking before we tasted it and identified the full qualities the original cask was offering. Full of tropical fruit notes and sweet spice, this was easy decision to bottle this one as it was.

The tasting revealed green apples, golden syrup and honeysuckle.

DISTILLED 11th November 2013 AND BOTTLED 22nd January 2026

The cask yielded only 59 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength 63%

This Warehouse Sweepers Choice was specially selected by the whole team at Lady of the Glen and is dedicated to the sweepers, bottlers and packers that keep the industry running.

This lightly peated distillate from the Northern Isles is famous for its heather honey character. Fully matured in a first fill bourbon barrel for layers of sweetness and vanilla and then finished in a refill octave for notes of apple and spice.

One of only 2 malt whisky distilleries in Orkney helps to narrow down the identity of this mystery malt. Also as the only distillery on the archipelago that produces spirit with a smoky character, helps to narrow down even further.

The taste revealed - dried apple, bonfire toffee and vanilla
