TWS Exclusive Balblair Single Cask

Balblair 2006 #73 TWS Exclusive

Notes from Charlie MacLean in our upcoming Whiskeria Spring 2023: “Old amber in hue — Amontillado sherry — with good beading. A mild nose feel at natural strength, with top notes of clotted cream, on a faint base of strawberry jam (with a suggestion of scone? i.e. cream tea!); beneath all this is warm brown paper. The taste is a nice balance of light sweetness and faint saltiness, with a medium length, warming, finish.”

New Abbey Whisky 15th Anniversary Exclusive! – Scotch Whisky News

2023 marks our 15th anniversary (Happy Birthday to us!). So what better way to start our celebrations than with an exclusive collaboration with one of our favourite indie bottlers, Berry Bros & Rudd.

This big hitting Caol Ila reminds us of a similar Islay dram we bottled back in our early years and what a punchy combo it is… Distilled in 2010 and initially matured in a first fill bourbon hogshead, it then spent some time in a hogshead cask that previously held the finest of Moscatel sherry. On first sampling, we knew it was just the cask for us but brace yourselves, this is a big dram and will command your attention, it’s full of wonderful flavour.

126 bottles only, filled at natural cask strength, 50.8% vol.

Limited to 1 per customer.

*UPCOMING RELEASE* Two French Oak ex-Tawny Single Casks – Tasmanian Whisky News

Two French Oak ex-Tawny Single Casks
TD0403 & TD0289

On Monday we release two first-fill French oak ex-Tawny single casks, TD0403 and TD0289. TD0403 is one of our few 225L French oak ex-Tawny casks, dubbed ‘French oak, turned up’ due to its incredibly rich and luxurious flavour profile. Dark and brooding, this whisky is the result of a limited run of ultra generous oak. TD0289 displays more of a classic Sullivans Cove French oak maturation, with added nuance from the extra years it spent in its cask, TD0289 strikes that elusive balance between spirit, pre-fill and oak.

French Oak ex-Tawny TD0403

One of our very few, ultra generous, 225L French oak ex-Tawny barrels. Prepare for massive waves of roasted nuts, coffee beans, cake batter and malty chocolate – TD0403 becomes richer, darker and gains more presence with every moment in the glass. Pairs well with cold nights, fire-sides, and your favourite jumper. Matured for 9 years in a first-fill 225L French oak ex-Tawny cask, yielding just 257 bottles of Sullivans Cove single cask whisky.

French Oak ex-Tawny TD0289

Spiced honey and rye cake, boysenberry swirls, dusty antique furniture, cocoa puffs and oolong tea meet a lemon-oil edge and flickers of mandarin. TD0289 is a great example of the far reaches of flavour that a French oak ex-Tawny maturation can achieve. Zesty and bright while also dark and brooding – choose your own adventure! Bottled at 49.1%, matured for 14 years in a first-fill 300L French oak ex-Tawny cask, yielding 293 bottles of Sullivans Cove single cask whisky.

Own Whisky Memorabilia Fit For A King – Scotch Whisky News

Own Whisky Memorabilia Fit For A King 

Mark Littler Ltd is selling a limited edition set of copper coasters made from Diageo stills.  

How would you like to own the same piece of whisky memorabilia as our new king, Charles III? This limited edition set of coasters for sale at Mark Littler Ltd offers you this opportunity with this amazing set of 6 whisky coasters, made from Diageo stills.

The coasters are fashioned from the copper stills at 6 of the distilleries under Diageo’s portfolio: Lagavulin, Glenkinchie, Dalwhinnie, Oban, Talisker, and Cragganmore.

Conceived as a limited edition release to celebrate 50 years of Diageo at Caledonian Road, the coasters were created by engineers from Diageo Abercrombie. The exact numbers are unknown, but it is believed that there are only around 60 sets in existence.

In 2018, the King (then His Royal Highness Prince Charles) was presented with a limited edition set of coasters from the Royal Lochnagar distillery as a 70th birthday gift. The King also donated a 1988 cask of Royal Lochnagar whisky to raise funds for The Prince’s Foundation, a charity set up in Charles’ name to help communities build a more sustainable future.

The coasters themselves are engraved with the names of each distillery, as well as information about the specific stills from which the coasters were made, including installation dates.

This limited edition set of coasters is available now on the Mark Littler Shop. You can find out more about this unique whisky memorabilia by watching Mark’s YouTube video.

New Carn Mor Releases & Old Perth PX Ltd Edition – Scotch Whisky News

FEBRUARY CÀRN MÒR RELEASE

Our latest Càrn Mòr  release is now available to buy from your local stockists! With a combination of sweet sherried whiskies and fruity drams, there’s something for everyone. Being released on Valentines day, it calls for the perfect gift for a loved one…or yourself  😉. Bursting with exciting expressions, including a Guyana rum finish, Sauternes finish from a variety of  regions across Scotland. Click here to find your local retailer.

Ardmore 2009 is a 13-year-old, Highland whisky that is primarily seen in blends. Spending its life in PX Sherry Hogsheads gives it a beautifully balanced palate. You can expect each dram to be packed full of sweet and savoury notes with a touch of peat smoke, reminiscent of  a succulent, sugar glazed ham.

For something a little different, we have Craigellachie 2010. This whisky has been finished for 24 months in French Oak Puncheons – first used for Cognac and then Guyana Rum. On the palate, it delivers savoury notes of roasted coffee and hazelnuts, balanced with ripe, tropical fruits… we think it’s a great dram.

This Linkwood 2013 began its life in First-Fill Bourbon barrels before finishing its maturation in French Oak Sauternes Casks for 18 months. This 9-year-old combines tropical fruit and spice with warming cinnamon and ginger. As it is limited to 1123 bottles you’ll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on one!

Glentauchers 2011 is another whisky which is usually found in blends. Bottled at 11 years of age has been finished for 24 months in Amontillado Sherry Butts, bringing notes of crushed amaretti biscuits and mascarpone over stewed apricots to the palate.

These expressions and more are on their way to a retailer near you.

NEW OLD PERTH PX LIMITED EDITION

Introducing, a very special Old Perth Limited Edition. The liquid, which was hand-selected from Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers’ extensive collection of mature single malt Scotch Whiskies, has spent its entire life in a combination of Oloroso and PX Sherry Hogsheads and Butts; and for the past fifteen months, it has been mellowing in 1st-Fill Pedro Ximenez Casks from Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin, Spain.

Old Perth is limited to 7,800 bottles and available to buy since 3rd February in major drinks retailers across the UK. As always, this expression is non-chill filtered and no colour added. It is bottled at 56.2% adding to its powerful yet velvety palate. This deep garnet whisky will not disappoint, exploring beautiful deep fruit notes with sultanas, prunes and cacao. On the palate, it delivers raisins, dates, candied fruit, leading into dark chocolate and cocoa. This expression is retailing at £58…what a steal! To grab a bottle for yourself, click here .
