Fancy a unique and limited edition dram?

Maybe you are not feeling inspired to purchase a new bottle from your favourite distillery’s core range. Well there are plenty of special whiskies independently bottled from single casks or a batch of casks, and by their very nature are limited edition. Have a gander at your options…

View Single Cask Whisky →

Single cask whiskies have been drawn from one individual cask. No two casks are the same, meaning every single cask whisky is completely unique and so, by its very nature, a limited edition.

Channeling The Beast of Dufftown (nicknamed so for its whisky’s full-bodied, meaty profile) into a more refined form, Cowie’s Blue Seal is the elegant oldie in Mortlach distillery’s core range, joined by the 12- and 16-year-old.

Matured exclusively in sherry casks, the robust Mortlach 20 Year Old is a marriage of rich and dark sherry with old Mortlach’s more delicate and fragrant side. Notes of Demerara-sugar dusted apples, orchard fruit, dark chocolate and dried fruit are joned by hints of honey on the palate.

As a firm lover of Green Spot, Yellow Spot, and nearly all of Midleton’s ranges – out of the starting blocks, I must say that despite this being an anniversary whiskey, I’ve found it a little disappointing. But is that a surprise?

Gold Spot celebrates 135 years of Mitchell & Sons as a whisky merchant, and the relationship that has been shared between Mitchell & Sons of Dublin and Midleton Distillers. Building on a base of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, the intricacies of weaving in the powerful flavours of port and Bordeaux wine casks into the flavour of Gold Spot would have been a monumental task. Bottled at 51.4% ABV, a promising thing on paper but the flavours are muted The scents and tastes are ginger, apricot and loads of tea, but there isn’t a particular drive of it being memorable.

If that was the intention then that’s totally fine. But as with some other recent anniversary bottles (Ardbeg) this is, for me, a bit of a let down. But I also felt this way about Red Spot and Blue Spot. I haven’t reviewed those, but I wasn’t thrilled by them, which is odd given my love for Redbreasts core range. Perhaps the variable cask influences are cancelling out some fun?
