Single Malt Scotch
Glenfarclas 1988 30 Year Old Family Casks W18 Cask #1374
Deeply sherried yet controlled, with dried fruit, dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee layered over toasted oak. The palate is full and warming, bringing raisin, fig and cocoa into focus as cracked black pepper and firm wood spice add definition. Mature richness is balanced by a dry, savoury line rather than overt sweetness. The finish is long and structured, lingering on espresso, dark fruit, pepper and polished oak.
Bowmore 23 Yr Port Matured
Port-cask richness leads, with cooked cherry and orange, plum, dried apricot and wine-soaked fruit set against roasted coffee and spice. Smoke and a damp-cellar earthiness keep the sweetness grounded. The palate brings grapey fruit and toasted wood before turning drier and more savoury. A long finish carries clean smoke, oak, dried fruit and delicate floral detail with measured maritime restraint.
Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited Longmorn 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Vanilla buttercream and banana bread lead into freshly cut grass and bright lemon curd. The palate is generous but clean, with tinned pineapple, juicy stone fruit and sweet-shop notes gaining lift from elderflower and citrus zest. A subtle peppery line keeps the fruit in focus. The finish is mouth-watering and persistent, leaving peaches, cream, vanilla and gentle spice.
Lismore 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Floral notes open with chocolate, toffee and warm cinnamon. The palate is broad and mouth-filling, bringing ripe fruit and honey-roasted nuts into balance with old oak and chewy caramel. A softer butterscotch note builds through the middle. The finish is long and warming, leaving caramel, roasted nuts, dark fruit and a gentle trace of spice.
Braes of Glenlivet 1975 31 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice
Elegant and quietly mature, with creamy malt, buttery wafer, vanilla and citrus framed by delicate wood and fine spice. The palate remains light on its feet, balancing caramel malt with cinnamon, floral notes and a gently tonic, tart-oak edge. Time in refill American hogsheads shows as restraint rather than heavy sweetness. The finish is dry, fragrant and persistent, leaving soft florals, vanilla and measured spice.
