Single Malt

Loch Lomond Group - Named after an island rich in meadow and woodland, our 18 Year Old has a strong oak character, with hints of summer grass, tropical fruit and zesty citrus notes.  Our Master Cooper back then was Tommy Wallace, who carefully selected the finest casks to mature the liquid in for a minimum of 18 years allowing time and nature to bring out the sweeter character of the wood. 

A special single cask hand-selected by Amrut's Master Distiller to showcase the nuances of Indian Single Malt Whisky. It's matured in a refill PX sherry butt and distilled from Scottish peated barley. Only 510 bottles are on offer globally.

Kurinji, from the Single Malts of India label, is the second release from India?s first-ever Independent bottler ? Amrut. Eponymously sourced from a Kurinji or Mountainous region, it exhibits traits that uniquely spring from the locale and the purple-blue Kurinji flower that blooms once every twelve years. In short, sweet and floral with wafts of jasmine and honeysuckle.

Aged in a combination of refill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, the finest of which have been personally selected by Glen Scotia?s expert team, before a six-month finish in first-fill oloroso sherry casks, this elegant addition to Glen Scotia?s range is a smooth and aromatic dram ideal for whisky connoisseurs.

The oloroso sherry finish adds perfumed floral notes, creating a delicately aromatic dram while preserving the signature distillery character of rich fruits, hints of Atlantic sea spray, and subtle maritime nuances. Glen Scotia?s 21-year-old is an exceptional single malt that delivers the true character of a refined and classic Campbeltown whisky.

The liquid has been matured to bridge the gap between Glen Scotia?s 18-year-old and its 25-year-old, which won the ?Best in Class? and therefore Best in the World, at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2021 out of 3,800 entrants.

The remarkable new release comes presented in Glen Scotia?s premium bottle in deep hues of purple and gold. An elegant metal coin of the Glen Scotia entwined ?GS? logo is set into the shoulder of the bottle, which is presented in a display box ideal for collectors or gifting to someone special.

The Campbeltown whiskey region has a very unique flavour profile. The new Glen Scotia 10 Years reflects this skilfully. The unpeated Campbeltown Malt matured 100% in first fill bourbon casks and thus offers the perfect balance between the character of the distillery and the influence of the bourbon barrels. The Glen Scotia 10 years unpeated thus combines all the classic Campbeltown properties: Maritime style, paired with green fruits and citrus notes, plus vanilla and light spice.

Nose: fresh sea air and sliced apple, with aromas of lemon peel and roasted oak.

Taste: soft, almost creamy with notes of melted brown sugar and orange jam - followed by ripe pineapple and creamy vanilla, followed by the spicy oak.

Finish: long with a gentle finish Tones of ground ginger and a slight note of cinnamon.

Dry sherry aromas mingle with stewed raisin and roasted hazelnut, complemented by a fresh citrus edge.

Creamy milk chocolate and orange zest flavours lead to spiced stewed fruits.  The finish is fruity with lingering citrus.

Black Nikka Rich Blend is made from Miyagikyo malt, with non and low proof, with a high proof Yoichi seasoning, with key components matured in ex-sherry casks. The complexity of the malts - sweet and full-bodied - is balanced by the lightness of the Coffey grain whisky. This is a completely different profile to the standard 'Black Nikka', smoother and more elegant.

Black Nikka was launched in 1965 as Nikka's premium blended whisky, the Nikka Black Deep Blend whisky uses malt aged in new oak barrels. This is a completely different profile to the standard 'Black Nikka', smoother and more elegant with floral notes and light oak and vanilla sweetness.

Not strictly a Japanese whisky, Togouchi sources grain whiskies from Scotland and Canada and ages them in Japan.

This is a blend from Chugoku Jozo, who mature their whiskies in a tunnel rather than a warehouse. The temperature of the tunnel is always 15 degrees while the temperature of the cellar at the headquarters in Hatsukaichi city is a little higher than that. Nutty, spicy whisky with a lovely butterscotch mouth feel. On the palate it expresses vanilla sweetness and a fine peat iodine, with hazelnuts and chocolate on the finish. Almost feels like a whisky/bourbon hybrid.

This release from Kavalan's Solist series has been aged in casks which held the sweetest type of sherry: Pedro Ximenez. This is a warming and fruity whisky with notes of juicy raisins and honey syrup.

Manzanilla is much like Fino sherry, which is produced by the sea where the conditions are even more suitable for the growing of flor. Though the maturation is the same as for the Kavalan Fino, the texture is lighter and more delicate with a touch of saltiness together with mineral flavours, which are all the consequences of a stable and thick layer of flor, sea breezes and brine.

To produce this release of Akashi Single Malt Whisky, the White Oak distillery aged this whisky in Cognac barrels for 3 and a half years before refining it for 10 months in barrels of white wine from the Akashi vineyard in Yamanashi County. The result is a Single Malt without cold staining or filtration, which has a nice balance and focused on woody and fruity notes.

Located in the city of Akashi in the Hyogo Prefecture, by the seaside of the Seto Island Sea is the White Oak Distillery. This distillery was founded in 1888 by Eigashima Shuzo and has been producing Sake and Shochu every since. In 1919, Eigashima Shuzo obtained a license to manufacture whisky and when the company moved to their current facilities in 1984, the White Oak Distillery was born.

Single malt whisky from the White Oak Akashi range, matured for five years in a white wine cask.

The nose is softly spicy with a smidge of smoke, wrapped up in tangy grape and citrus leading to brown sugar on the palate and more tangy fruit brightness that cuts through the vanilla and oak. A lasting hint of lemon and chocolate on the finish.
