The latest Whisky Shop Exclusive Single Cask has landed! Carefully selected by us, with you in mind – at £58.95, this is one of our best value offers of all time. Produced at Loch Lomond Distillery with heavily peated barley, this expression was distilled in March 2006 and matured in a single first-fill Tawny port hogshead for almost 14 years. It was then bottled in February 2020 at a natural cask strength of 53.1% VOL. Highly exclusive, just 315 bottles have been filled.

So, what does it taste like? Sweet peat and salted caramel come to the fore, with cinnamon and baked apple emerging amongst raisins and golden syrup.

Delicious. Receive a free pair of Loch Lomond Whisky Glasses when you order this bottle – while stocks last!

The Isle of Jura distillery was founded in 1810 by Archibald Campbell. Originally, known as the Small Isles Distillery, it was renamed in 1831, and rebuilt in the early 1960’s on the original site. The name derives from the Norse for ‘deer island’, a reference to the herds of local deer that greatly outnumber the island’s tiny population of residents.

Jura single malt can offer power and complexity, but without the bold, heady smoke of whiskies their Hebridean neighbour, Islay. The whiskies are typically sweet, fruity and approachable, with a slightly coastal character. Since 2018, they have been imbued with a subtle smokiness, due to the inclusion of a small amount of peated whisky in each bottling.

THREE GREAT BOURBONS THREE GREAT PRICES

All reviewed by our own fantastic Katie Groves

Eagle Rare: is one of those bourbons that stays with you for life – it has a huge personality and charm that stays with you from the first sip. Aged for a minimum of 10 years and selected with top attention to cask quality, this is an unbelievably smooth sip with rich notes of toffee, leather, tobacco, orange peels and the complex herbal style home to the Buffalo Trace distillery.

Order for £35

American Eagle: is a stand-out Tennessee Bourbon distilled from a mash bill of corn, rye and malted barley and aged for 12 long years. It has a beautiful balance of fresh, zesty fruits on the nose and a creamy, smooth palate packed full of vanilla and dried fruits. An easy, highly satisfying bourbon ideal for long summer evenings.

Order for £50

Stagg Junior

A mention of Stagg Junior to any bourbon aficionado brings a sparkle to their eye and a wry smile, as this is an unforgettable beast of a whisky. Bottled at a borderline scary 63.2% and aged for 10 years in charred American oak casks, this bourbon has serious attitude – think spicy cloves, brown sugar, dark chocolate and roasted smoky chestnuts. An amazing whiskey named after the famous distiller George T. Stagg.

Founded in 1823 during the age of great achievement, Mortlach was the first legal distillery in Dufftown, located in the heart of Speyside. Mortlach has a unique distillation process, distilling the spirit 2.81 times. The resulting whisky, nicknamed “The Beast of Dufftown”, is renowned for its rich, robust, muscular character. In a region known for smooth and gentle whiskies, Mortlach really stands out from the crowd. This heavily sherried, decadently full bodied single malt is one of the hidden gems of Speyside.

Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay, and one of the oldest in all of Scotland. Founded in 1779, the Bowmore distillery produces the second best selling Islay single malt, and is home to the oldest whisky maturation warehouse in the world, the famous No. 1 Vaults. The cool, damp microclimate of this historic site is said to impart a unique character to Bowmore’s oldest and finest whiskies.

Unlike most distilleries, Bowmore has retained its traditional floor maltings, and continues to malt much of its own barley. The whiskies are rich, sweet, and moderately peated, with flavours and aromas of sea salt, citrus, tropical fruits, and bonfire smoke. Sherry cask matured Bowmore displays darker fruits, chocolate, coffee, and spice.
