November BIG Outturn: 41 single cask bottlings

Daylight is dwindling and the nights drawing in.  The geese grow fatter by the day.  Summer may be a distant memory, but we couldn’t be happier.  Whisky Season is here.

And how else would we mark the occasion, than with an outstanding selection of the very best single cask bottlings to be found. November BIG Outturn brings 41 winter warmer whiskies.

With no less than 10 Islay malts, including:

10.72 A hawker market in Singapore
Islay, £45.70
Buttery egg custard, vanilla, syrup, doughnuts, light smoke, struck matches, dried flowers, plus pork char siu, duck and hoisin sauce

23.67 Islay twinned with Algarve
Islay, £40.20
In reduction we found this nose sexily seductive, with sweet tobacco, sherbet straws, vanilla and mimosa flowers nodding in the warm breeze

53.145 Hebrides in a glass
Islay, £63.40
Salt spray and rock pools, enhanced by pine needles and herbs, and a trace of cider vinegar

And of course it wouldn’t be our Christmas Countdown List without a few festive recommendations and offers:

Regional Trio: buy together for £129 (save £22.70)

27.85 Manly and penetrating £53.20
121.38 Sumptuous and stunning £39.20
36.48 Waves of pleasure lapping the tongue £59.30

3.169 Pagoda reek drifting over Loch Indaal £60.30
125.41 Everything under the sun£64.40

What’s one plus one minus £5?

Another stonking offer! Pick two bottlings from the same distillery (from our BIG list) and save £5.  Why? To compare the dram-atic differences.

A distillery is borne…128
