  • HIGHLANDS
    The Highlands is the largest distilling area in Scotland, which makes it very difficult to give it an overall description, though they tend to be bolder than the Lowlands. The easiest way to describe Highland whisky is to split it up in to the 4 compass regions. The Northern Highlands produce big-bodied whiskies that tend to be rich with sherry and cereal, have a honeyed sweetness and have a big mouth feel. Good examples are The Dalmore and Glenmorangie. The Southern Highlands produce lighter, fruitier and drier whiskies, such as Edradour and Aberfeldy. The Eastern Highlands produce full bodied, dry and well fruited single malts, such as Ardmore and Knockdhu. The Western Highlands produce powerful, full bodied, single malts that tend to be peaty and smoky, with briny coastal character. Oban and Dalwhinnie are consistently good single malt producers. - Aberfeldy 12 | 40.0% | Bourbon & sherry casks - Aberfeldy 16 - Balblair 12 | 46.0% | Ex-bourbon & 1st-fill Spanish oak butts - Balblair 15 | 46.0% | Ex-bourbon & double charred american oak - Dalmore 12 | 40.0% | Bourbon & sherry casks - Dalmore 15 | 40.0% | Matusalem, Apostles & Amarosso sherry casks - Dalwhinnie 15 | 43.0% | Bourbon & Oloroso sherry casks - Dalmore Cigar Malt | 44.0% | American ex-bourbon, Matusalem olorosso & Cabernet Sauvignon casks - Deanston 12 | 46.3% | Ex Kentucky bourbon casks - Edreadour 10 | 40.0% | Ex-bourbon & Olorosso sherry casks -Glencadam 10 | 46.0% | Bourbon cask -Glendronach cask Strength | 61.0% | Matured in Spanish oak, PX & Olorosso sherry casks -Glendronach 1p | 43.0% | Olorosso & Pedro Ximiniex casks -Glen Garioch 12 | 48.0% | Bourbon & Sherry casks -Glenglassaugh Revival | 46.0% | Re-Fill Bourbon & Olorosso sherry casks -Glengoyne 10 -Glengoyne 15 | 43.0% | Bourbon & first-fill sherry casks -Glenmorangie 10 - The Original | 40.0% | First and second fill American white oak -Oban 14 | 43.0% | Bourbon cask -Old Puletney 12 | 40.0% | Bourbon cask -Old Pulteney 18 | 46.0% | Olorosso & Pedro Ximinez casks -Old Pulteney Navigator | 46.0% | Ex-Bourbon & Sherry casks -Old Pulteney Huddart | 46.0% | Bourbon & Ex-Peated casks -Royal Lochnagar 12 | 40.0% | Ex-bourbon cask -Speyburn 15 | 46.0% | American & Spanish oak casks -Speyburn 25 - Disc. | 46.0% | Ex-bourbon & Fino sherry casks -Whiskey Jar 21 | 54.8% | Refill Ex-sherry -Wolfburn Aurora | 46.0% | 2nd fill Quarter, First-fill bourbon, First-fill sherry
  • SPEYSIDE
    Modern Speyside whiskies are amongst some of the lightest and sweetest single malts that are currently being produced in Scotland. Age often produces much bolder sherried whiskies from the region. Although it is one of the smaller regions, Speyside has the vast majority of scotch distilleries. There are 84 distilleries, including some of the world’s best sellers: Glenfiddich, The Macallan and The Glenlivet. Speyside single malts lack the peat of Islay and the Highlands, the salinity of coastal malts or the dryness of the Lowlands, they remain sweet and subtle. -Aberlour 12 Double Cask | 40.0% | Traditional & sherry oak casks -Aberlour 16 Double Cask | 40.0% | Traditional & Sherry oak casks -Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 63 | 61.0% | Sherry Cask Ardmore Legacy -Balvenie 12 Doublewood | 40.0% | Refill American oak & 1st-fill Olorosso sherry butts -Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask | 43.0% | Bourbon & new American oak with rum cask finish -Balvenie 21 Port Wood | 40.0% | Bourbon & 30 year old port pipe | -Benriach 10 | 43.0% | Ex-bourbon & Ex-sherry -Benromach Organic 2010/2015 | 43.0% | Only Organic whisky to have official accreditation from the UK Soil Association.

  • ISLAY
    Islay (eye-luh) is associated with peated single malt whiskies and is best known for it’s three world famous distilleries on the south coast, Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Lagavulin. It has a truly iconic status. Islay single malts often have plenty of peat and smoke, brine and medicinal flavours. They are powerful whiskies. Further north, the distilleries tend to produce softer whiskies; Coal Ila and Bunnahabhain. Most distilleries are on the coast, which results in salty & coastal whiskies as the sea spray is said to whip across the warehouses. The salty air penetrates the barrels and flavours the maturing whisky. -Ardbeg 10 | 46.0% | First and second fill American oak casks -Bowmore 12 | 40.0% | Bourbon cask -Bowmore 18 | 43.0% | Bourbon barrels and sherry casks -Bruichladdich Islay Barley | 50.0% | 1st-fill American, 3rd-fill Sauternes, 1st-fill Rivesaltes casks -Bruichladdich Octomore -Bunnahabhain 12 | 46.3% | Bourbon and sherry casks -Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhóna | 50.0% | Spanish sherry and American boubon casks -Bunnahbain Toiteach a Dha | 46.3% | Spanish Sherry & American bourbon casks -Bunnahabain Striuiredair | 46.3% | 1st & 2nd fill Sherry casks -Caol Ila 12 | 43.0% | Bourbon, hogshead, Puncheon & sherry casks -Caol Ila Distiller's Edition 2016 - Moscatel Cask | 43.0% | Moscatel sherry finish -Kilchoman Machir Bay | 46.0% | Ex-bourbon & Olorosso sherry butts -Lagavulin 16 | 43.0% | Bourbon barrel -Lagavulin Distiller's Edition 2016 | 43.0% | Double matured in Pedro Ximenez casks -Laphroaig 10 | 40.0% | Bourbon & European sherry -Laphroaig Quarter cask | 48.0% | Quarter casks -Laphroaig Lore | 48.0% | First-fill Sherry & Bourbon casks -Port Askaig 100 Proof | 57.1% | Bourbon casks
  • SCOTTISH ISLES
    The Scottish Isles are a very diverse region of Scotland. Due to the isles covering such a large area, isle whiskies have many different characters although they usually tend to have a slight salinity to them due to most distilleries being coastal. Highland Park, Scotland’s most northern distillery, produces whiskies with plenty of honey, malt, heather and a light whisps of smoke. Then there is the Isle of Skye with it’s sole distillery; Talisker. Single malts here are often described as being volcanic in character with plenty of body. Arran, on the Island from which it gets it's namesake, produces malty and rich whiskies. On Mull, the Tobermory distillery produces a sweet, thick, slightly herbal whisky and a heavily peated version called Ledaig. Jura produces slightly maritime, oily whiskies with a nutty cereal character. -Arran Sauternes cask finish -Arran Barrel reserve -Highland Park 12 | 40.0% | Sherry heavy, light ex-bourbon -Highland Park 18 | 43.0% | Sherry heavy, light ex-bourbon cask -Jura 10 | 40.0% | American oak & Olorosso sherry butts -Ledaig 10 | 46.3% | Ex-bourbon cask -Scapa Skiren | 40.0% | 1st fill American oak -Scapa Glansa | Ex-peated casks -Talisker 10 | 45.8% | Bourbon & European sherry casks -Talisker Premier Barrel 5 | 46.0% | Bourbon & sherry - Rebuilt & heavily re-charred -Talisker Storm | 45.8% | Twice matured in port casks -Talisker 18 -Talker Port Right -Tobermory 12 | 46.3% | Ex-bourbon cask
  • CAMPBELTOWN
    Once a whisky boomtown of 34 distilleries famed for their smoky, oily character, Campbeltown is quieter now, with only three producers – Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengyle. Which was only resurrected in 2004. Nonetheless, there are a number of styles here, including peaty whiskies, which are a reminder of Campbeltown’s illustrious past. -Glen Scotia Cambelltown Malts Festival | 51.3% | Re-fill Bourbon -Hogsead, Guyanan Rum cask finish -Kilkerran 12 | 46.0% | 70% Bourbon & 30% Sherry casks
  • LOWLAND
    The Lowlands produce light, floral, un-peated whiskies that are often dry. They are often referred to as feminine drams, ‘the Lowland Ladies’. Lowland whiskies are known for being triple distilled, instead of twice distilled. Triple distillation removes some of the heavier components of a whisky, leaving behind the lighter components of flavor and aroma. However, nowadays the only distillery in the Lowlands that still triple distils is Auchentoshan. -Auchentoshan American Oak | 40.0% -Auchentoshan three wood -Auchentoshan 18 | 43.0% | American oak casks -Bladnoch 10 | 46.7% | Limited release, Bourbon cask -Glenkinchie 12 years
  • BLENDED
    Roughly 9 out of 10 bottles of Scotch sold around the world are blends – that is, a mix of grain and single malt whiskies. These products are the lifeblood of the industry and the liquid expression of an art form that borders on alchemy: combining myriad components to create one harmonious and consistent whole. The world’s best selling blend, Johnnie Walker, sold just under 224 million 700ml bottles in 2016 - equivalent to more than 450 bottles every minute. -Timorous Beastie - Douglas Laing | 46.8% | Highland malts including Blair Athol, Dalmore, Glengoyne, Glen Garioch -Chivas Regal 12 | 40.0% | Strathisla (Speyside) heavy -Chivas Extra | 40% | Olorosso sherry -Cutty Sark 12 | 40.0% | Speyside - Bourbon cask -Compass Box - Peat Monster | 46.0% | A blend of single malts from Port -Askaig, Islay.

  • JAPANESE
    In it’s most basic form, Japanese whisky is Scotch whisky that is made in Japan. It is made in exactly the same way, is inspired by Scotch, many distilleries use exact copies of Scotch stills, nearly all the malted barley used is imported from Scotland, one of the fathers of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru, even went to Glasgow to study whisky and then went to Speyside and Campbeltown to get some hands on experience. What makes them different? It’s an injustice to say Japanese whisky is smooth. Japanese whiskies tend to have very light, fruity and floral notes with a honeyed sweetness, tend not be peated, have little to no burn that other whiskies are known for and tend to be blends, there are however some exceptions to this. The richness and variety of Scotch is obtained through the exchange of productions among the many distilleries, each of which often only produce a one main single malt. In Japan it’s the opposite, there are very few distilleries who often don’t sell to each other (Suntory and Nikka) but produce a wide variety of single malts. The Yamazaki distillery can produce over 60 distinct single malts, which can then be used in blended whiskies to create even more variety. Japanese distillers use many different barrels of various sizes and backgrounds; including European oak sherry casks, American oak casks, rare Mizunara (Japanese oak) casks and even casks that have previously held fruit liquors. =Chita | 43.0% | Wine, sherry & bourbon cask matured -Hakushu Distillers Reserve | 43.0% | Released in 2014, a blend of light & heavily peated malts -Hakushu 12 | 43.0% | Single Malt Bourbon & Olorosso sherry casks -Hibiki Harmony | 43.0% | Blended Blend of Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita - aged in bourbon, Mizunara, sherry & plum liqueur casks -Ichiro Wine Wood Reserve | 46.0% | Hanyu malt vatted at Chichibu and finished in french wine casks -Ichiro Mizunara Wood Reeserve | 46.0% | Bottled in 2010 after aging in Japanese oak -Mars Cosmo | 43.0% | Blended malts from undisclosed scottish distilleries | -Mars Kasei | 40.0% | Blended malt & grain whiskies -Nikka Days | 40.0% | Blended spirits from Yoichi & Miyagiko -Nikka Coffey Grain | 45.0% | Grain Whisky Primarily corn with some barley -Nikka Coffey Malt | 45.0% | Malt Bourbon cask -Nikka From The Barrel | 51.4% | Blended Blend of grain & malt -Suntory Year of the Monkey | 43.0% | Blended spirit from Suntory -Togouchi Blended | 40.0% | Blended Single malt from Scotland & grain whisky from Canada, aged in an old railway tunnel in Japan -Togouchi 9 | 40.0% | Blended Scottish and Canadian new make -Togouchi 12 | Blended peated scotch and Japanese new make -Toki | 43.0% | Blended Hakushu & Chita malts -Yamazaki Distillers | 43.0% | Single MaltBordeaux Wine, sherry & Mizunara Casks -Yamazaki 12yr | 43.0% | Single MaltBourbon, Spanish Olorosso & Mizunara casks -Yoichi | 45.0% | Blended peated scotch & Japanese
  • IRISH
    Irish whiskies are often thought of as smooth, fruity and triple distilled, which many are but this is not always the case. The Irish are widely credited as being the first to distil whiskey, though this is strongly contested by the Scots. The Bushmills distillery is the world’s oldest licensed distillery, founded in 1608. Irish single pot still whiskey uses both malted and unmalted barley. The unmalted barley offers a sweet spiciness that is associated with Irish whiskey. Unmalted barley was originally used to avoid certain tax, fortunately it resulted in a good whiskey which is why many distilleries still carry on the tradition. In the 19th century, Irish whiskey ruled the whiskey world. They used huge pot stills, pioneered by John Jameson, which gave their whiskies a consistency like no other. Some historians claim that 19th century Irish distillers added the ‘e’ to ‘whisky’ to distinguish them selves from the sub-standard scotch that was flooding the market. -Bushmills Original | 40.0% | Blended American oak cask -Bushmills Black Bush | 40.0% | Blended Bourbon cask -Bushmills 10 | 40.0% | Single Malt Bourbon cask -Bushmills Bourbon Cask Reserve - Steamship Collection | First-fill Bourbon Casks -Connemara | 43.0% | Bourbon cask, Olorosso sherry finish -Feckin Irish Whiskey | 40.0% | Blended -Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton | 46.0% | Ex-bourbon, Virgin american oak & ex-Oloroso sherry casks, finished in Bordeaux wine casks -Green Spot Chateau Montelena | 46.0% | Ex-Bourbon & Olorosso Sherry casks, Finished in Zinfandel casks -Irishman Founders reserve | 40.0% | Blended Ex-bourbon barrel -Jameson Original | 40.0% | Blended Ex-bourbon and sherry casks -Jameson Caskmates IPA | 40.0% | Blended IPA Cask finish -Jameson Black Barrel | 40.0% | Blended Double charred first fill bourbon casks -Kilbeggan traditional -Redbreast 12 | 40.0% | Single Pot Still Ex-bourbon and European sherry casks -Redbreast 12 Cask Strength - Ask batch # |Ask%| Ex-bourbon and European sherry casks -Redbreast Lustau -Teeling 12 Revival Vol V | 46.0% | Ex-bourbon casks, finished in Cognac & Brandy casks -Teeling Single Grain | 46.0% | California red wine barrels -Teeling Single Malt | 46.0% | Ex-sherry, Madeira, Port, white Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks -Teeling Small Batch | 46.0% | Used American oak, rum cask finish -Tullamore Dew 12 | 40.0% | Ex-bourbon and sherry casks -West Cork 10 | 40.0% | Blended First-fill bourbon barrel -Silkie The Legendary Dark -Silkie The Midnight -Silkie The legendary
  • AMERICAN
    As a general rule, American whiskies tend to be sweater & younger than Scotch,with a bit more punch. The main two types of whiskey to come out of the US are Bourbon and Rye. Both use a variety of grain, known as a mashbill, which is the grain recipe. Bourbon will usually be sweater with more caramel and vanilla notes where as rye will be bold and with rich spice. Bourbons are known to be a sweeter style of whiskey. Legally bourbon needs to be made in the US with a mashbill containing at least 51% corn, has no minimum age requirement and has to be aged in new & newly charred American oak barrels. The 51% corn requirement means that the majority grain is always corn with the rest usually being rye and barley, or sometimes wheat instead of rye, which results in a wheated bourbon. This allows producers to be able to use varying amounts of each grain they use. Some bourbons contain high amounts of corn, others rye and some wheat. Varying grain percentages is one of many ways bourbon producers are able to produce their own unique whiskey. Traditional bourbons use around 70% corn, 15% rye & 15% barley. Some examples are Wild Turkey, Jim Beam & Knob Creek. High Rye (20%+) bourbons include Four Roses Small Batch, Bulleit & Woodford Reserve. High Wheat (little or no rye) bourbons include Maker’s Mark, Larceny, Bernheim & Pappy Van Winkle. Tennessee Whiskey is straight bourbon that is filtered through charcoal before being aged. Tennessee Whiskies aren’t usually called bourbons, they are Tennessee Whiskies. The main Tennessee whiskey being Jack Daniel’s. Rye whiskies are all about bold spice, richness and depth with a bitter finish. They use a minimum if 51% rye grain which means they cannot be called bourbon. Rittenhouse and Sazerac are two great rye whiskies. -1776 Straight Rye | 46.0% | Named after James.E.Pepper who had claim to the first distillery in Kentucky | KY -Angels Envy Port Cask | 43.3 | Finished for 3 to 6 months in Port casks | KY | -Balcones Texas Single Malt | 53.0% | "Yard aged" in ex-bourbon American oak | TX -Balcones Baby Blue - 92 proof | 46.0% | Made from 100% True Blue corn, which is highly flammable and somewhat dangerous to distill… | TX -Basil Hayden's Bourbon | 40.0% | Plenty spicy, well balanced with herbal notes of peppermint nad a touch of fruit | KY -Bartons 1792 Full Proof | 62.5% | Jim Murrays' best whiskey of 2019 -Blantons Gold | 51.5% | Arguably one of the best single barrel bourbons at the moment | KY -Booker's 7 year old True Barrel | 63.7% | A fantastic whiskey from the Jim -Beam range, named after the one and only Booker Noe | KY -Buffalo Trace Bourbon | 40.0% | A staple bourbon all over, a great go to that we get through plenty of. | KY -Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash 1 | 62.5% | Un-aged whiskey.

  • WORLD
    This is the part of the menu that includes any whiskies that haven’t been mentioned yet. It contains exotic whiskies from countries such as England, Wales and even Taiwan and India. Whiskies from hotter countries will “age” a lot quicker, so therefore be younger. There is a massive variety of styles in the world section, so if you want to try something different ask one of the staff for a recommendation.

  • INDEPENDENT
    It’s becoming normal practis for distilleries in Scotland to sell barrels of wisky to not only blenders but independant bottlers as well. Some distillers solely exist to serve independtant bottlers and blenders. Whiskies that are released by independant bottlers may not always be allowed to name the distillery of origin, these are known as “secret bottlings”, not all secrets are absolute though. Clues are sometimes given as to where they are from, Elements of Islay use codes for each of their independant bottlings, such as “CI8”. Could that possibly a release from Caol Ila, specifically their 8th realease? Indie bottlings are often bottled at cask strength which results in a more full-flavoured whisky, they are also rarely chill filtered. Indie brands will also very rarely add caramel colouring to their bottlings, which a lot of brands do, a surprise to most.
