Ardbeg 10 Years Old is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance.
Ardbeg An Oa uses a "gathering VAT" which is charged from several different types of cask including new charred oak, ex-PX sherry and first fill ex-Bourbon. Corryvreckan takes its name from the famous whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay, where only the bravest souls dare to venture. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced Oog-a-dal) is a special vatting that marries Ardbegs traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. It's non chill-filtered at high strength, which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth.
Bowmore 12 is a medium peated malt - less than some of its Islay cousins. It also has an appealing floral side as well.
The Bowmore 15 is from whisky matured in Bourbon casks which then has a further maturation in sherry casks. The distillery says it is an exquisite sherry cask finish that develops layers of rich, peat smoked complexity at 15 Years Old.
The Bowmore 15 is from whisky matured in Bourbon casks which then has a further maturation in sherry casks. This adds an extra dimension of stewed fruits to this medium peated whisky.
One of the more complex Bowmore's in the distilleries own range. The Bowmore 18 is one to savour. There are citrus, toffee and chocolate notes alongside the sherry cask influences.
The Distillery say they have created this Bowmore Legend to honour their home and capture its essence. Crafted from a selection of the finest bourbon barrels, which over time help to bring out the perfectly balanced, delicious citrus and gentle smoky character.
Crafted from two different types of bourbon cask, first fill and second fill, which are then married together to create this small batch release.
