Hudson Four Grain Bourbon
The distillery tell us 'Appetisingly balanced, rich and peppery with a comforting warm, soothing finish Hudson Four Grain Bourbon is all about four good grains going in to make great bourbon. The soft, balanced richness of corn. The sharp, peppery notes of rye. The smooth subtlety of wheat. And the sweetness of malted barley. All working in perfect harmony for a rich, full-flavoured spirit. This special bourbon is aged in our petite new American oak barrels for more wood contact, giving it more depth and character. Non-chill filtered at 46% ABV each bottle is hand filled, capped, waxed and numbered one at a time. ' Made from corn, wheat, rye and malted barley.
Hudson Manhattan Rye
The distillery tell us 'Vibrantly bold, spicy and backwoods rustic, with a smidgen of honey and coconut Prohibition put an end to small-batch distilling in New York, but Hudson has resurrected an Empire State classic with our Rye Whiskey. We’re a very hands-on operation. We handpick our rye and source 90% of our raw materials within ten miles of the distillery. The ferment is pot stilled and then aged in new charred American oak barrels producing a rye whiskey that is vibrantly bold and spicy with subtle notes of honey and coconut. Non-chill filtered at 46% ABV each bottle is hand filled, capped, waxed and numbered one at a time.'
Isle of Jura 10 Years Old
A light whisky with just a hint of smoke. A gentle dram very different from some of its cousins across the sound on Islay. Some taste oak with hints of honey, caramel and soft liquorice.
Mackmyra Brukswhisky
The distillery have said that Brukswhisky is an exciting, well balanced whisky, created to be enjoyed at any occasion. The whisky has a light fruity character with notes of butterscotch, pear, liquorice and citrus.
Mackmyra Svensk Ek
The distillery have said that Svensk Ek is the only whisky in the world that is aged in oak that should have been used to build ships for the Swedish Royal Navy. The trees, which were planted on an island called Visingso in the 19th Century, are today part of one of the biggest oak woods in Sweden. Harsh weather conditions and dramatic shifts in seasons have left marks in the trees giving them a more powerful and spicy character. Before the trees become barrels they are seasoned for at least a year.
Mackmyra Svensk Rok
Svensk Rok is made of only natural Swedish ingredients, non chill filtered and not coloured. Whilst drying and smoking food over juniper twigs is an old Swedish tradition, Mackmyra is the first to combine this taste with whisky. They also smoke their own malt. The traditional blend of peat and juniper smoke passes up through the grain bed and imbues the barley with its flavour. A craft that takes time, but the distillery think is well worth the effort.
