The GlenDronach Traditionally Peated

$149.00
To honour The GlenDronach’s early whisky making heritage, Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie crafted The GlenDronach Traditionally Peated using the same principles laid down by our founder James Allardice almost two centuries ago. At this time, it was traditional practice in the Highlands to burn peat in the kiln towards the end of the barley malting, creating a rich and warm, earthy smoke. Interwoven with robust Highland characters, The GlenDronach Traditionally Peated is peated to those traditional levels and has all the full-bodied richness of The GlenDronach. Matured in the finest Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso sherry and Port casks. The expression is bottled at 48%, non-chill filtered and natural in colour. The GlenDronach Parliament 21 Year Old honours the parliament of rooks which continue to guard our warehouses. Matured in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucía in Spain, this full bodied, richly sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky presents elegant and balanced layers of chocolate and spice carrying on into the long, lingering finish. This expression was named the world’s best Highland Single Malt Whisky at the 2018 World Whisky Awards and is bottled at 48%, non-chill filtered and natural in colour. TASTING NOTES
  • Colour: Vivid harvest gold.
  • Nose: Highland toffee and treacle meld with dark honey and coal smoked barley.
  • Taste: Sip burnt orange and treacle on a base of cloves and smoked bramble.
  • Finish: Savour liquorice and dark fruit into the lingering rich, earthy finish.
  • Food Pairing: Cheese (eg, Blue Cheese*), Appetizer, and snacks
*Because of the cheese’s creamy sweetness, which works perfectly to accentuate the pear notes and smoky flavour of the whisky. Together they tease out each other’s shades of spice, floral honey and barley sugar.

Akkeshi Blended Whisky Kokuu

$280.00
Akkeshi Blended Whisky KOKUU (穀雨) is the 15th in the 24 Season Series.

During this season, soft and warm rain falls, moistening the fields and nurturing the sprouts. Grain is also a seasonal word for spring. The key malt is all Hokkaido Mizunara oak. This has become a staple of Akkeshi whisky. It is a traditional classic blend with a citrus-like aroma and deep sweetness typical of Akkeshi. TASTING NOTES Nose: Brown sugar chinsuko, small hyuganatsu, simple shortcake with strawberries, cream and sponge.
