Macallan 12 Year Old Fine Oak

Only 5,000 bottles of this outstanding Speyside single malt are available in the UK.

The Macallan 12 Year Old Fine Oak is a legendary Speyside whisky for good reason; triple cask matured in a unique, complex combination of exceptional European oak casks seasoned with sherry, American oak casks seasoned with sherry, and American oak casks seasoned with bourbon, it delivers an extraordinarily smooth, delicate yet complex single malt, matured at The Macallan Distillery for a minimum of twelve years. Simply outstanding value for one of our favourite Macallan whiskies!

Banff 37 Year Old 1971 Dead Whisky Society
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

$744.54

Banff 37 Year Old 1971 vinatge Highland single malt Scoth whisky. Single cask #633 bottled August 2008 by the Dead Whisky Society for the Rare Old series. 565 numbered bottles. The Mill of Banff malt whisky distillery was established by Major James McKilligan at Mains of Colleonard Farm just south of Banff in 1824 and acquired by James Simpson a local merchant and ship owner in 1852.  Mill of Banff Distillery closed in 1863 when Simpson’s son built a new distillery on a site to the west of Banff at Inverboyndie and named it Banff Distillery. Relocation enabled the opportunity to expand and take advantage of a plentiful supply of soft Speyside water and the new branch line connecting Banff to the main Inverness to Aberdeen railway. Despite surviving the ups and downs of the whisky industry Banff Distillery closed in 1983and partially demolished in 1985 but most of the rest of Banff Distillery came down during a fire in 1991 and although shells of a few warehouses are still standing Banff is a lost Highland malt whisky distillery.

Nova Scotia’s Glynnevan® Whisky Win Medals at Prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Guysborough, Nova Scotia – Authentic Seacoast Distilling Company Ltd received a Silver Medal for its GLYNNEVAN® Double Barrelled Canadian Rye Whisky  at the 16th annual San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), held from March 17 to 20, 2016.

Regarded as the most respected and influential spirits competition in the world, this year’s SFWSC was the largest in its history, judging more than 1,850 submissions. Medal winners are chosen through a rigorous blind tasting process over four days to ensure integrity and impartiality. As a result, the SFWSC states that their medals have “come to be the most reliable indication of spirits excellence, and spirits recognized as medal-worthy by our judges are understood around the world by both the trade and consumers to be the best the industry has to offer.”

“We are honoured to have our GLYNNEVAN® Whisky recognized by this internationally renowned group of spirits experts at the world’s most prestigious blind tasting competition”, said Glynn Williams, President, Authentic Seacoast Distilling Company Ltd. “This recognition demonstrates that our handcrafted Nova Scotia spirits can compete with the best in the world.”

A new Canadian tradition where the spirit of prairie grain comes to rest in barrels in the Authentic Seacoast Distillery on the historic Guysborough harbour, GLYNNEVAN® Whisky’s second barrelling by the Atlantic creates a smooth, distinct and uniquely Nova Scotian rye whisky. Layers of aroma start with sweet rye spices and honey, followed by toasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon and a hint of tropical fruit. The taste is sweet with notes of creamy vanilla, spice, butter, hazelnut toffee and caramel. Read more about GLYNNEVAN® at http://www.glynnevan.com/.

Whisky Ramblings Via Video #125

Mark Dermul, Belgian Whiskyblogger, is not talking about a whisky, this time around, but about a whisky book. And not just any whisky book. What started as passion in 2009 has now culminated into his very own whisky book, consisting of 297 pages of pure whisky pleasure. But – the book is in Flemish (his native language). Nevertheless, he wanted to share this with us as it is quite a proud moment for Mark and his two co-writers.

Web Shop Update

I am sure some will be aware we have changed the web shop at last, as the new system beds down we are hoping to sort out the issues that obviously happen when you change things.

The tasting room vouchers are working again after a day or so being off line while we migrated over the thousands of vouchers already purchased to the new system.

If you have a voucher that is close to its expiry date contact us before the end date so we can extend it for a few more months or you can book it in for one of the summer tasting events due to go on-line soon.

21st Anniversary event.

We at Cadenhead’s London are readying for another milestone in our history, namely our 21st anniversary with a homage to our old Covent Garden store and obviously getting ready for even more amazing drams from Cadenhead’s and Springbank.

As part of our 21st anniversary we are holding a special free tasting event on May 6th between 4:00PM and 7:45PM finishing by 8:00PM, we will be selecting drams closer to the event, let’s just say each will be a surprise to most.

We will also be drawing 3 names from a box around 7:30PM for some amazing prizes that money can’t buy anymore!

1. A bottle of the London 31 year old Caol Ila bottled for our 20th anniversary last year.
2. A bottloe of the London 20 year old Miltonduff from 2014
3. The booby prize of a private tasting for up to 6 people with myself! (Sorry who ever wins that but hey it’s with me so what more do you want?)

New Season April 2016 SMALL BATCH

The new season kicks off with an amazing collection from the Cadenhead’s Small Batch range. This season has a great collection from across Scotland that I am sure will be selling out quickly, especially one or two of them.

Sadly some products have already gone, if you have a bottle on reserve then we will be holding them until 12 noon Monday unless paid for then we will keep them in our hold room nice and safe awaiting your arrival.

We also have an extra dram from islay with a new Caol ila 32 year old.

All the best, Stephen W

P.S we will have more news in the very near future about Cadenhead’s Authentic Range for Spring 2016.

Don’t forget the Special Tasting Event is May 6th 4:00PM – 7:45PM with the draw to win one of 3 prizes taking place at 7:30PM
