Introducing Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Releases 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at natural cask strength - Thick wisps of aromatic herbal smoke honour the ancient art of tattooing, clouds that slowly disperse in whispers of stories. The sweet scent of ripe plums lingers, as smoky black ink etches an outline of illustrious past generations ascending to legendary heights. Each work of art is a map of historic victories, imprinted on a living canvas. Inspired by the spirit of intensity and pride that shines through a Lagavulin history more than 200 years long, our Malt Master explores the famed symbols of the ancient Mesoamerican art of tattoo, rich in story and significance. The whisky, finished in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks, pulses with herbal flavours ancient and modern, engraving an indelible story. Amid fierce glints of gold, fresh notes of sea air, citrus and ripened berries mingle with intense herbal smoke in an enchanted swirl of heady aromas, while the creamy-smooth and robust texture plays the perfect canvas to a rich palette of swirling flavours. Sweet with juicy plums and a hint of saltiness, then ever more herbal and smokier, the flavours deep-etch their impression for a lip-tingling whisky of legends.

A single malt whiskey made by West Cork Distillers and famous band The Pogues. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, this Irish whiskey has delicately floral nose, with aromas of lavender, meadow flowers, sesame, caramelised cashews and salted chocolate. The palate offers notes of dry oak, chai spice, peanut butter, s'mores and summer flowers.
This rare Singleton of Glendullan has been aged for 14 years, including a wee finish in Chardonnay de Bourgogne French Oak casks, and bears the name The Silken Gown as it has been crafted with as much expertise as posh French fashion houses. Bottled at a bold 55% abv.
