肉桂、肉荳蔻和胡椒的香氣立刻將黑麥的辛辣特徵推到了談話的最前沿，而鹹味的口感和令人回味無窮的干爽餘味證實了這一印象。與許多美國威士忌相比，對酒桶進行輕柔的烘烤使橡木發出的聲音更加柔和，更傾向於複雜的山核桃和核桃味，而不是茂盛的澳洲堅果味。

Upon first nosing, the immense quality of this distillery shines through – very few distilleries shine as brightly as Glenlivet at its impeccable finest. It opens with sweet citrus and marshmallows, pear drops, and passion fruit notes peeking out of the nose of this single-cask whisky. This cask was chosen because the vanilla and creaminess of the wood seemed in delicious harmony with the apricot, pear and apple from the spirit. It is a veritable fruit bowl of whisky; the only savoury notes appear on the finish, exactly where I want them to be. On top of this, there’s shortbread and crystalised ginger, ensuring immense moreishness overall.

Here, The Glen Grant distillery has produced a whisky that is a “must-have” for any enthusiast. It is aged patiently in first and second-fill Bourbon barrels, with water purifiers in both the pot and wash stills. Meticulously balanced and refreshingly approachable, the 18-year-old is bright and floral. Complex layers of marzipan, vanilla and coconut lead to the long and nutty finish. This is sure to be a favourite.

Oooooooh, yes, this is absolutely tip-top Balvenie! As so very often, Malt Master David Stewart MBE has brought forth a whisky of extraordinary class and surety. Custard-warmed pastries and a beguiling hint of curry leaf support a supremely welcoming nose that gladdens my old-fashioned whisky-loving heart. The palate is utterly without artifice, showing macadamias and shortbread generously smothered in various honeys. The finish is flawless, simply sweetness and light, each in their correct proportions. Pair this with crumbly biscuits and the best symphony Orchestra you can access. Please drink this, share it, and smile.

My very first impressions of this whisky are of quiet confidence. Subtle in hue and traditional in outlook, this has the old-fashioned, reliable core strength of a barrel-hauling cooper – as opposed to the oiled, rippling physique of a chiselled bodybuilder.

The palate shows the time-honoured rewards of the cask-makers craft. This is nutty, softly spicy, and reassuringly toothsome. All the while, those woody notes gently cushion and support a thread of gorgeous old malt, woven into the fabric of this dram thirty years ago.

This is a quiet one to think about; maybe one to accompany a non-sensationalist documentary podcast, with a few nibbles of well-aged Comté cheese if possible.

The colour is pale gold. The nose is cool and neat, fresh almonds and candied citrus steeped in camomile tea; the palate deep, fiery and complete. A Fino-style brightness leads a reel of roasted peach, haysmoke, pinhead oats and spiced white pear, flecked with harbour wall rock salt. The finish is firm and fresh, framed by the sweet evolution of 18 years in Sherry butt. Time in the glass, and a discretionary drop of water, is recommended to reveal the depth and complexity of this resplendent dram.

Highland Park Distillery, founded in 1798 on Orkney, is one of Scotland’s northernmost distilleries. It is known for its balanced peated whiskies. Highland Park uses traditional floor-malting and locally cut peat, contributing to its distinctive flavour. The distillery’s Viking heritage is reflected in its branding and packaging, celebrating Orkney’s rich history. This 25-year-old is a hallmark of the distillery’s ability to craft aged single malts.

With Islay’s historic reputation of producing abundantly smoke-laden whiskies, Bowmore have crafted something meticulously balanced with their 15-year-old. Enticing aromas of freshly baked banana bread and treacle lay the platform for the rich, rounded woodsmoke, poised with caramel sweetness. A lasting briny finish completes the picture, so typical of many of the whiskies of Islay. Aged in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Oloroso Sherry casks, the 15-year-old is the perfect gateway for someone looking to immerse themselves in the world of peated whisky.

Eddie Garner, Business Development Executive, Berry Bros. & Rudd

This installment of The Macallan’s “A Night on Earth in Scotland” series is a wonderful limited-edition single malt, with packaging created in collaboration with acclaimed Chinese artist Nini Sum. Both the whisky and the packaging pay tribute to the aromas and flavours of New Year in China: toasted oak, rice popcorn, milk candy, sunflower seeds, and the sweet fragrance of steamed rice.

Established in 1881, Bunnahabhain Distillery is renowned for producing both unpeated and peated whiskies. The Fèis Ìle 2023 release, finished in Manzanilla casks, celebrates the annual Islay Festival. This is one of the few distilleries on Islay that produces a significant amount of unpeated whisky, offering a unique contrast to the typically peated style here. The distillery’s remote location is only accessible by a single-track road, adding to its charm and mystique.

The nose opens with a delightful aroma of freshly baked Garibaldi biscuits, rich hazelnut and a hint of crème brulée. On the palate, a sumptuous wave of milk chocolate emerges, harmonised by the sweetness of caramelised nuts. The mouthfeel is well-rounded, viscous, and indulgent, leading to a prolonged finish with cosy notes of caramelised nuts and sherry-infused oak.

On the nose, rich aromas of dark chocolate and figs mingle with a touch of brine, a hallmark of Inchgower's coastal spirit. the palate reveals the Pedro Ximénez cask's influence, as treacle toffee and ripe plums combine with raisin and sweet dates. Subtle hints of roasted nuts and a whisper of sea spray create a delightful balance, leading to a finish that delivers lingering notes of dried fruit and gentle spice. 

Berry Bros. & Rudd

It seems like a smoky beast at first nosing, but it's not such a monster on the first sips. A touch of water brings out an astonishing elegance and complexity, retaining the robustness and full flavour of this rugged Highlander. Leather, blood orange, and rich, ripe tobacco leaf are prevalent, with a delicious earthy salinity underpinning this heavily peated beauty.
