Best Whiskies for a Happy New Year!

Best Whiskies for a Happy New Year! is ‘high-five’ of flavour that will take you on a tasting tour through all five whisky-producing regions of Scotland! We start in the Lowlands with Cask No. 5.100 Smile-inducing for a beautiful assortment of orchard fruit and vanilla all wrapped up in a silky-smooth delivery. A sophisticated way to start the flight before we travel west to Campbeltown with Cask No. 93.206 The alpha and omega for a citrusy sweet salinity only this coastal destination can conjure. Next, the Speyside beckons with a powerful malt in Cask No. 89.18 A pool of dreams. Honeyed, malty and booming with flowers, ginger and butterscotch, this richly complex dram will impress. Our Highland representative is entirely unique in its maturation, having spent only 3 years in bourbon wood and 5 years in Sauternes wood… more time in the second cask than the first! Cask No. 11.43 Forget me not boasts a bounty of boozy dried fruits, spices, liqueurs and chocolatey citrus notes for a stunning sipper you won’t want to put down. Finally, Cask No. 10.255 Sizzling sunshine marries seaside smoke and barbecued fare with sherried notes of toffee and molasses. Islay meets Jerez for a moreish malt of smoky sophistication. Invite over your favourite whisky tasting group and start 2024 with a cask strength bang by sharing this killer quintet!
