T

his rare and precious whisky, with its delicate and exquisite flavours, is the product of over half a century in oak casks; a whisky that captures the very essence of Glenfiddich This Glenfiddich 50 Year Old is our heirloom and the pinnacle of our years of whisky-making; the culmination of the skill and dedication from our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman; and the crowning glory in the pursuit of excellence that began with our founder William Grant back in 1887. This exquisite whisky has been drawn from two casks, both having spent the last 50 years maturing in the darkness and chill of Warehouse 8. Before bottling, our Malt Master married them for six months in an American oak barrel to give the wondrous array

of flavours and aromas an unrivalled harmony. The colour of Glenfiddich 50 Year Old is golden amber. The nose is beautifully harmonious with an uplifting, vibrant and complex aroma. Delicate floral notes (rose petals and violets) are intriguingly intertwined with green tobacco leaf and oak and just a faint hint of smoke. The taste is initially very sweet with a zesty orange marmalade and vanilla toffee, which then cascades through a wonderful series of layers: aromatic herbs, floral and soft fruits, silky oak tannin and hints of gentle smoke. The finish is exceptionally long with a touch of dry oak and the merest trace of peat.

Our original, signature single malt Scotch whisky has matured for at least 12 years in American and Spanish oak casks. The quality of these casks is exceptional as all are individually tended by our experienced team of on-site coopers, ensuring our whisky develops complex, elegantly rounded flavours with notes of fresh pear and subtle oak. Distinctively fresh and fruity with a hint of pear. Beautifully crafted single malt with a delicately balanced fragrance. Characteristic sweet, fruity notes. Develops into elements of butterscotch, cream, malt and subtle oak flavour. Long, smooth and mellow.

After being married in wooden tuns for at least three months, its rich, mellow flavours come together, creating an exceptionally smooth and remarkably deep single malt Scotch whisky with notes of baked apple, spice and robust oak. Each batch is unique and is of an extraordinary quality. Remarkably rich aroma with ripe orchard fruit, spiced apple and a robust oakiness.

The Glenlivet 12 year old

The colour is bright and lively gold. Exquisite delicacy of summer-like fragrances, with playful interlacing of floral and fruity aromas. A sensuous touch of exotic fruit, notably pineapple. It opens in time on creamier and richer notes of stewed greengages and ripe apricots. Oak tenderly enhances that enticing bouquet with more vanilla and nutty notes and an echo of toasted oats. Honeyed floral notessahine through. A silky feel, flowing on the tongue. Smooth and sweet fruit notes of white peaches and pears poached in vanilla syrup. Marzipan and fresh hazelnuts followed by a gentle spiciness of grated ginger.


J&B Rare

Each time you sip J&B RARE, 42 different whiskies pass your lips. They are carefully blended together to create a subtle, smooth and complex flavour. The delicate balance is what gives J&B RARE its distinctive character. If we took even one whisky away you would taste the difference. The heart of J&B RARE is formed by Speyside Malt Whiskies. They provide the fruity, fresh quality you can taste, and give J&B its light colour. Speyside is recognised as the superior area in Scotland for making malt. Added to that are some of the finest grain whiskies Scotland has to offer. They help reveal the individual flavours of the various malts, unveiling the pleasant, smooth character of J&B.


The Balvenie 15 year old

The Balvenie Single Barrel is a 15 year old single malt which is drawn from a single traditional oak whisky cask of a single distillation. Whilst each cask is subtly different, The Balvenie Malt Master selects only those casks which have the essential characteristics of The Balvenie Single Barrel, particularly honey, vanilla and oaky notes. Each bottling forms a limited edition of no more than 350 hand-numbered bottles - so each bottle is unique and unrepeatable. Fragrant aroma of vanilla, honeyed sweetness, hints of heather and dry oaky notes. Rich and complex, suggestive of years of careful ageing, it has a honeyed maltiness with vanilla, oak flavours and delicate spice notes. Long and complex with a touch of liquorice.


Johnny Walker Red label

RED LABEL with its combination of light whiskies from Scotland’s east coast and dark, peaty whiskies from the west coast, created a blend with an extraordinary depth of flavour. The taste travels right across your palate to deliver a flavour experience no ordinary whisky can match. The character of the whisky is defined by intense, spicy, zingy, edgy flavours. RED LABEL bursts onto the palate with the freshness of spray from a crashing wave, followed by the zing of aromatic spices and finally a long, lingering, smoky finish. The sensation in the mouth is complex – ‘sweet chilli’ is a good description of this taste and the tingling sensation on the tongue.


Chivas Regal 12 year old

Chivas Regal 12 year old is an expression of a unique tradition that has continued unbroken since the nineteenth century when the original Chivas Brothers first introduced the world to the rich, smooth Scotch whisky that has made the name Chivas Regal famous throughout the world. Radian, warm amber An aromatic infusion of wild herbs, heather, honey and orchard fruits Round and creamy on the palate, Chivas 12 bursts with the rich taste of ripe, honeyed apples, and notes of vanilla, hazelnut, and butterscotch Enjoy the generous, lingering, finish.


Glenfarclas 15 year old

The distinctive character of Glenfarclas Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, for which only three essential ingredients are required; pure spring water, malted barley and yeast, is due to the Grant family’s commitment to traditional distillation methods, combined with the unique size and shape of the Glenfarclas copper pot stills, the specially selected oak casks, and the style and location of the warehouses.

Highland Park 15 year old

The first proprietary bottling of Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky was as a 12 year old in 1979. It remains the core expression of the Highland Park range and is a smooth, balanced single malt, with a rich full flavour and a gentle smokey finish. Take your time to appreciate the nose of Highland Park 12 and you’ll discover the characteristic honey sweetness followed by fruit – maybe pineapple, apple or pear. On the palate it is drying and leaves a gentle smokey feeling and a flavour that just keeps on going. Glowing amber Heather-honey sweetness; peaty smokiness Rounded smoky sweetness; full malt delivery Teasing, heathery, subtle smoke. Delicious


Speyburn Bradan orach

Gaelic for ‘Golden Salmon’, Bradan Orach is a classic, easy drinking Speyside malt, matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks. The bourbon wood gives the malt a wonderful complexity and depth, without making it overly challenging. Like the 10 Year Old it is very easy to drink and a great way to get to know Speyburn. Bright, golden-amber colour Green apples, honey, lemon and floral vanilla spices Subtle and delicate yet also packs a rustic punch with its smoke and peat


The Famous Grouse

This scotch whisky is named after the Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus), Scotland´s national game bird. The Famous Grouse is testimony to the unsurpassed blending skills of Matthew Gloag and Son, a family business founded in 1800. The secret is in the way we marry the finest malt whiskies, such as The Macallan and Highland Park, with exceptional grain whiskies for an unusually long period in fully seasoned oak casks. The result is a blend of the smoothest possible character. Raised in the Highlands, The Famous Grouse is proud to be Scotland´s favourite whisky Lovely, delicate and floral on the nose – grains and malts working in perfect harmony. Deceptively rich and full for what is really quite a light bodied blend. Fruity, with a touch of smoke. Brittle toffee and spices, along with a hint of grain, in the medium finish


Ballantine’s Finest

Ballaintine’s Finest is a complex, refined, and elegant blended scotch whisky. It is regarded as the taste to satisfy a modern style. The brand’s light gold colour and unmistakable taste come from a complex mix of carefully selected malt and grain whiskies — all aged for at least three years, and many for much longer. Soft, elegant, heather honey aromas with a hint of spice. Well balanced subtle flavours with tones of milk chocolate, red apple and vanilla. Rounded. Soft, sweet and complex. A light gold. The sophisticated after-taste gives a fresh, floral and rounded glow.


Oban 14 year old

Fine single malt whisky has been made here for over 200 years, in one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland. Oban™ is made using only the finest barley, malted to the distillery’s own particular specification. Partly germinated barley is gently dried in a kiln where a light peat smoke gives the malt a distinctive character and taste. The result is the smoky, malty dryness in the flavour and finish of Oban. The stills used are among the smallest in Scotland; the cramped nature of the site is attested to by the odd position of the worm tubs, fed by unusually short lyne arms, and nestled in the ‘vee’ between the roofs of the still house and an adjoining building Medium. Quite malty and sweet opening, with a medium body and a generous dry finish. A hint of spiciness perhaps, and seashore on the nose.
