Blended Whisky & Grain

Compass Box Whisky - At their best, aged in good quality American oak casks, brimming with vanilla and echoing rich pastry cream on the finish, they are amongst the most delicious whiskies in the world. At their best, grain whiskies are the perfect whiskies to name...Hedonism.

The inspiration behind our whisky HEDONISM is just that ? pleasure, enjoyment, a celebration of that ideal marriage between distilled spirit and high-quality oak maturation. The aromas and flavours hint of vanilla, caramel, a delicate fruitiness, accented by flashes of coconut in the finish. This is a whisky that will appeal to both the ardent whisky enthusiast and newcomers to whisky alike.

This whisky, like all vatted malts, is made by marrying 100% single malt whiskies from different distilleries. Compass Box Peat Monster includes in its blend single malts from lead distilleries Ardmore and Caol ila. Both components are aged between 10 to 15 years. Pale golden color. Sweet clover honey, heather, and peat aromas. A soft, yet rich, entry leads to a sweetish medium-full body with caramel, orange peel, raw honey, toast, vibrant peat and pepper flavors. Finishes with a honeycomb, iodine, and toasty grain fade. Very drinkable, exquisitely balanced, and approachable with vibrant, but (despite the name) not dominant peatiness.

A sumptuous malt whisky blend, showcasing whiskies aged in Spanish wine casks. The name is a nod to our founders chance encounter with a man in the South of Spain, where he was introduced to Sherry for the first time. Years later, John was reacquainted with Sherry through whiskies aged in former Sherry casks, known for the rich, deep flavours they provide. It's a style of whisky John has been drawn to ever since.

Whisky is full of life. Scotland especially is home to many different species of spirit, from heavy to light, fruity to smoky, and pungent to ethereal. Certain whiskies taste that little bit wilder than others, and we have brought together some of these strange and beautiful creatures to create our Menagerie. We have focused on parcels of malt whisky that in addition to their fruity or spicy charms have something animalic about them just beneath the surface. This is a whisky of mossy woods as opposed to floral meadows; Menagerie is what you put into the hipflask ahead of a Tuscan truffle hunt.

Building on chocolatey and meaty malt whisky from the Mortlach Distillery, we have added whiskies of a citrusy and earthy nature from the Deanston Distillery. Our Highland Malt Blend ? aged for a number of years in custom French oak barrels ? lends a brooding spiciness, while malt whiskies from the Glen Elgin and Laphroaig distilleries bring musky tropical fruit and tarry smoke, respectively.

With plenty of vanilla pod and succulent dried fruit, alongside hints of cigar box, this Dimple Golden Selection blended Scotch whisky is rather delicious indeed. 

Mellow and quite rich - a great value dram. Also, it comes in the fabulous Dimple bottles, which really are stunning.

The Gauldrons Campbeltown Malt Scotch Whisky tells the story of the eponymous dark, stormy coves on Campbeltown’s west shores, and literally means “Bay of Storms”. A marriage of the finest Campbeltown Malts, bottled in very small batches at 46.2% ABV, and proudly without colouring or chill-filtration. The Gauldrons is one of Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts

Timorous Beastie is a blended malt from Douglas Laing, using only Highland whiskies including Dalmore, Glengoyne and Glen Garioch. This has the classic heathery Highland note

Opens fresh, salty and clean on the nose, developing to sweet malt dried over peat. On the palate, detect ashes, sweet tar, beaches and smoking chimneys. The finish is long and lingering, replicating the palate with salty, tangy liquorice, smoke, bonfire ashes and a phenolic quality.

Alcohol Vol. 46%

Rock Island Sherry Edition is a marriage of Single Cask Single Malts distilled on the revered islands of Islay, Arran, Jura and Orkney, matured exclusively in Spanish Sherry casks. Rock Island is a subtle, smoky and sweet celebration of the sea. Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland?s Malt Whisky Regions.

The best selling whisky in Scotland and the spirit behind the Scottish Rugby Team. The whisky itself is rather rich and sweet, but well rounded, suggesting heavy use of Whisky from Spey and the Northern Highlands.

A seasonal release from Famous Grouse, it's Winter Reserve. In keeping with its festive theme, the blend features a generous amount of sherried malt whiskies, so there's all that delicious seasonal spice that sherry casks are known for. 

Nose: Raisins, dried apricot, sweet orange citrus and honey.

Palate: gingerbread, nutmeg and cinnamon alongside dark chocolate praline.

Finish: Well rounded oak spice.

A nice bottling thats quite heavy on the Islay component - but not too peaty.

Grants Family Reserve is one of the worlds best loved Scotch whiskies and enjoyed in over 180 countries. First created by William Grant in 1898, the blend is today, five generations later, entrusted to Grants Master Blender, Brian Kinsman. Brian skilfully blends around 25 of the finest single malt and grain Scotch whiskies to make Grants Family Reserve. The basis for the blend is our widely acclaimed Girvan grain whisky. Vacuum distilled at a lower temperature to make it a lighter and more delicate spirit, it is then aged in oak to give it a deeper, sweeter, soft fruit flavour, creating the perfect foundation.

A deliciously creamy single grain Scotch whisky here, matured for 20 years before being bottled up. Two decades has given this one plenty of time for its flavour profile to develop all those hallmark yummy grain notes, so expect toffee, honey, and cooked fruits notes by the bucket-load.

Nose: Orange peel, caramelised nuts, slightly chocolatey, dry oak warmth.

Palate: Icing sugar, anise, honeycomb, baked apple.

Finish: Greengages, another soft touch of oaky heat, caramel lasting.
