Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1969
French Brandy
Amber in colour, with crystallized fruit and a distinguished, mature nose. The palate is subtle and smooth, showing gentle wood alongside violet, cinnamon, caramel and dried stone fruit. Long ageing in old casks gives the texture a notably velvety feel while preserving lift and perfume. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass, allowing a few minutes for the aromatics to unfold.
Glenfarclas 25 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Scottish Whisky
Apple crumble, cinnamon and nutmeg lead into honeyed apricot, roasted peach and nectarine, with vanilla and sugared almond adding lift. Deeper tones of dark fruit, chocolate, stewed pear and mature oak give the palate weight without obscuring its fruit. Rich and full, it closes with a long, warming finish that suits the end of a meal. Serve neat.
Old Malt Cask Blair Athol 25 Year Old Sherry Cask
Whisky
Sherried and generous, opening with summer berries, pastry and a spoonful of thick cream. The palate turns toward orchard fruit, with chocolate and cinnamon adding warmth around the malt. Oak remains present but controlled, giving the sweetness a firm frame. The finish is subtly drying and persistent, carrying barley, seasoned wood and a final echo of dark fruit and cocoa.
Bruichladdich 16 Year Old First Growth Cuvee B Chateau Latour
Whisky
Rich and wine-shaped, with nuts, butter and stewed fruit layered over molasses and espresso. Berry fruit and an unlit-cigar note add darker detail to the aroma. The palate is chewy and generous, bringing sugared citrus peel, stone fruit, pepper and oak through a rounded texture. The finish is long and bittersweet, with the wine-cask tannin settling neatly into seasoned oak.
Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley
American Whiskey
Vivid and unconventional, with dark cherry, blackberry and brown sugar over pine and toasted malt. The palate brings graham cracker and caramel through a malty core, while cherry fruit keeps the profile bright. Oak and wood spice build gradually rather than dominating. The finish is medium-long and warming, with gentle smoke settling over dry oak, malt and lingering dark fruit.
Nismes-Delclou Armagnac 1967
French Brandy
Long cask ageing gives a velvety texture and a complex, perfumed profile. Floral notes and sweet spice lead into caramel and dried stone fruit, with mature oak adding structure rather than heaviness. Distilled from selected Bas-Armagnac fruit and rested in the house's century-old cellars, it carries a polished, contemplative style. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow it time to open.
Renegade Rum Company 1995 Guyana Uitvlugt 12 Year Old Chateau d’Yquem Cask Finish
Grenadian Rum
Dry and distinctive, with ripe peach and raisin notes set against herbs, mineral tones and seasoned wood. The palate brings concentrated fruit without turning heavy, as pepper and resinous oak add definition around a lightly sweet centre. Darker, wine-cask richness emerges gradually. The finish is savoury and persistent, balancing stony dryness, fruit and warming spice with a restrained final sweetness.
Bruichladdich 16 Year Old Cuvee C Chateau Margaux
Scottish Whisky
Savoury and textural, with barley tea, citrus peel and nutty malt leading the aroma. The palate is oily and broad, balancing red-wine tannin with toasted grain, dried fruit and a quiet honeyed note. Old oak and tobacco add depth without overwhelming the malt. The finish is measured and gently drying, carrying nuts, citrus, vanilla and a faint smoky, leathery edge.
Woodford Reserve New Cask Rye 375 mL
American Whiskey
Rye spice leads from the start, backed by sweet oak, vanilla and a light floral note. The palate is direct and energetic, bringing white pepper, cinnamon and resin through a firm layer of wood. A faint cherry note appears as the texture turns drier. The finish is long and warming, with cinnamon, vanilla and charred oak lingering after the brighter grain flavours recede.
Woodford Reserve Aged Cask Rye 375 mL
American Whiskey
Light in colour and fruit-led, with white-wine lift, soft florals and vanilla over fresh rye grain. The palate begins with a coppery pot-still tang before moving through orchard fruit, mint and a gently medicinal note. Rye spice grows steadily rather than arriving all at once. The finish is dry and persistent, carrying grain, mint and warm spice with a leaner, more delicate profile than new-oak rye.
The Balvenie Golden Cask Rum Finish 14 Year Old
Scottish Whisky
Traditional oak maturation followed by a finish in Caribbean rum casks gives this Speyside single malt a rich yet lifted profile. Honeyed vanilla, citrus zest and orchard fruit lead into banana, toffee and raisin, supported by warm oak spice and a creamy, waxy texture. Bottled without chill filtration, it balances malt depth with tropical sweetness. Serve neat or with a small splash of water.
Little Book Chapter 3: The Road Home 2019

Bold yet composed, with aged leather and oak around toasted brown sugar, caramel and crème brûlée.

The finish is long and warming rather than blunt, carrying leather, seasoned oak, sweet spice and a final thread of vanilla well beyond the sip.
Hennessy XO Cognac 1.5 L
French Cognac
Deep, rounded and warming, with candied fruit unfolding into pepper, dark chocolate and polished oak.

The finish is exceptionally persistent, echoing oak, chocolate, spice and fruit in a long, composed fade.
Renegade Rum Company 1992 Jamaica Hampden 15 Year Old
Grenadian Rum
Distinctive and vinous, with papaya and clementine leading a fragrant mix of tropical fruit and subtle herbs.

The finish is long and full, moving through bramble berries and darker fruit with a gently herbal, savoury close.
J.P. Wiser’s 35 Year Old
Canadian Whisky
Full and polished, with vanilla, maple and warm grain giving way to a distinctly rye-led palate. Fresh pumpernickel, cardamom and dill bring savoury lift, while cherries add a dark-fruited counterpoint. The oak is assertive but integrated, lending char and structure rather than simple dryness. The finish is broad and persistent, carrying dark bread, cherry syrup, herbs, vanilla and a final smoky edge.
Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 24 Year Old
American Whiskey
Mature and oak-led, with brown sugar, vanilla and chocolate wrapped around toasted wood and dried fruit.

The finish is warming and persistent, with black pepper, molasses, allspice and lingering smoke.
Bruichladdich Octomore 03.1 Five Year Old 152 PPM
Scottish Whisky
Bourbon-cask maturation frames an exceptionally peated Islay malt with bonfire smoke, iodine and seaweed. Ash, oak and a measured sweetness follow on the palate, with salty coastal notes and a dry, very long finish. Bottled at cask strength without colouring or chill filtration, it carries formidable intensity but rewards a few drops of water. Serve neat, with water alongside.
Glenfiddich 125th Anniversary Edition
Scottish Whisky
Peated and unpeated Speyside malts are combined after maturation in European oak, Spanish sherry butts and American bourbon casks. Fresh fruit, marmalade and spice arrive through a veil of peat smoke, followed by deep oak, vanilla and a more complex smoky character than the distillery's usual style. The balance remains polished rather than heavy. Serve neat and allow time in the glass.
Auchentoshan 1988 PX Sherry Cask Finish
Scottish Whisky
Triple distillation and a Pedro Ximénez sherry-cask finish create a rich Lowland whisky with stewed plum, red berries and cooked nectarine on the nose.

Sweet sherry richness is balanced by oak and gentle tannin. Serve neat.
Bowmore 23 Yr Port Matured
Scottish Whisky
Port-cask richness leads, with cooked cherry and orange, plum, dried apricot and wine-soaked fruit set against roasted coffee and spice.

A long finish carries clean smoke, oak, dried fruit and delicate floral detail with measured maritime restraint.
Bowmore The Devil’s Casks III
Scottish Whisky

The finish is long and smoky, tapering through cardamom, ginger and a final touch of fruit.
Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX 12 Year Old
Scottish Whisky
Richly sherried without losing its Highland lift, opening with vanilla, bitter chocolate and raisins over pronounced oak. The palate is firm and sweet-bitter, layering dried fruit, cocoa, nuts and warm wood around a clear malt core. A faint savoury edge keeps the richness in check.

Islay Violets 33 Year Old Single Malt
Whisky
Distinctively floral, with Parma violet, jasmine and lavender joined by candied lemon, singed orange peel and smoky sage.

Mint, vanilla toffee and soft oak spice bring depth without muting the perfume. The finish is long and fresh, fading through grapefruit, green grass, toffee and gentle smoke.
Arran 25 Year Old
Scottish Whisky
Rich oak and gentle nutmeg lead into baked figs, sultanas and black cherries.
