Pre-order from Single Malts Direct today – The Arran Malt Orkney Bere Single Malt. This limited Edition bottle (only 5,800 available) is described as ‘whisky as it used to be’. Bere may have been introduced to Britain by the Vikings more than 1,000 years ago and, until the 19th century, was one of the most important crops grown in Scotland. Replaced by higher yielding modern varieties, it is now grown only in Orkney and a handful of other locations in Scotland. To ensure the grain’s survival and as a nostalgic glance into Whisky History, The Isle of Arran distillers and the Agronomy Institute at Orkney College UHI teamed up to create this very special and unique dram. The spirit has been aged in ex-bourbon barrels for 8 years and is non chill-filtered and has no artifical colouring added. This bottle is beautifully presented , worthy of any collectors cabinet.

Pre-order yours now as Arran’s previous special release of The Devil’s Punch Bowl sold very quickly.

Dear Client

We have six (6) new PROVENANCE bottlings this month, whose Tasting Notes follow –

PROVENANCE Tasting Notes:

PRV0940 Glen Ord 8 year old

Opens clean and fresh on the nose, developing to a fruity (fresh apples & lemons) quality. The palate is light, still fresh, sweetly spiced and nicely vanilla’d. The finish now runs drier carrying an orange pith style. (J)

PRV0943 Dailuaine 10 year old Sherry

Opens and clean and fresh on the nose carrying a fruity sweet quality plus interesting toffee. The palate remains fruity and sweet and develops to a softly spiced character and hazelnut praline. The finish is medium long and runs to sweet pears and tangy mandarins. (J)

PRV0939 Aberlour 12 year old

Big and sweetly Malted initially on the nose – it then softens to a more heather and honey formula – lightly spiced. Its palate has an old fashioned hard candy sugar platform (not so fruity) – again attractively spiced – with late chewy toffee apparent. All that leads to a finish carrying more warming spices – cough drop style – mocha and a late drift smoke. (F)

PRV0942 Allt-a-Bhainne 12 year old Sherry

Opens fresh and clean on the nose – warming to something really honey sweet and gently spiced. Palatewise – anticipate a replication of the (chewy/runny)sweet honey plus barley- baked apple? with similarly sweet herbs and spices. The finish is every bit as (toasted) barley sweet as per the nose/palate – with a hint of the cask’s oak. But its essence is SWEET. (F)

PRV0801 Glen Moray 12 year old

Attractively floral, spiced, gristy, honied, (and aromatic generally) on the nose. Palatewise there are more warming spices initially – developing as you hold it, to dark runny honey and barley flavours – all wonderfully intertwined on its warm finish (F)

PRV0945 Speyside 13 year old

Opens with a sweet & fruity quality on the nose and develops to a buttery, honey’d style. The palate carries a gristy sweet character plus vanilla and soft spices. The finish is long, still sweet then runs drier to a lemon pith style. (J)

We hope you and your clients will find these interesting and commercially attractive additions to the range. We are at your service!

Best Wishes

KILCHOMAN LAUNCHES MACHIR BAY MINIS IN AMERICA FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!

After a multitude of inquiries from our distributors, retailers and consumers, we have now brought in Kilchoman Machir Bay 50 ml.

We’ve always appreciated miniatures as a they are a great tool for introducing consumers to a product by giving them a chance to sample it before committing to a full bottle.

We are extremely excited to be able to make it possible for this expression.

Machir Bay Minis can be used to fill a well-deserved space in one’s miniature collection and they can be given as a corporate or personal gift to travellers, colleagues, friends or family members.

With the holiday season just around the corner, they couldn’t have come at a better time as they make the perfect stocking stuffer!

Bottled at 46%, unchillfiltered and with no artificial colour, each miniature comes in its own gift box at an RRP of $11.99/btl.
