Glengarry 12 Yo Single Malt Whisky 0,7L 46%

Cameron Brig Single Grain Scotch Whisky 0.7L 40% The former owner of the Cameronbridge distillery in the Lowlands was a cousin of Robert Stein, the inventor of the continuous distillation process. It is therefore not surprising that the Cameronbridge distillery quickly switched to this process and thus produced high-quality grain whisky.After producing both malt and grain whisky for several years, the distillery decided to concentrate its whisky production on grain whisky. This whisky is one of the few available of the rare single grain whiskies. It runs amber-gold into the glass and is reminiscent of freshly cut hay and caramel on the nose. On the palate there are clear notes of fruit, toffee and pepper. The aftertaste is relatively short, but makes you want the next sip!

Caperdonich Speyside Single Malt Whisky 18 years 0.7L 48% Caperdonich Distillery If you have never heard this name before, you may be more familiar with the name 'Glen Grant No. 2', as the distillery was originally built as a kind of clone next to the Glen Grant distillery. That was in 1902, in the middle of the whisky boom, but this phase quickly died down and the distillery found it difficult to sell its whisky. So production was mothballed for the first time and leftover whisky served as a reserve for Glen Grant. In the middle of the twentieth century there was a second wave of the whisky boom, but here too the founders of Glen Grant No. 2 did not really succeed in emerging from the shadow of the large distillery and so it was closed in 2002 and completely demolished just under ten years later. However, some independent bottlers still own one or two of the distillery's barrels and so whisky lovers can still enjoy one of their whiskies today. Caperdonich 18 years Buying whisky from a distillery that has been shut down and demolished for several years is a special feature in itself. But to then receive an original bottling from the distillery surpasses this special feature many times over and makes every collector's heart beat faster. In 2019, the last owner of the Caperdonich distillery, Chivas Brothers, decided to release small batches from the remaining barrels and make them available as special series for the travel retail market. One of these bottlings is the 18 YO Peated Small Batch Releases, which matured in barrels made of fresh oak after distillation. The aroma on the nose is a mix of memories of campfires, peat soil and fresh notes of ginger and orange. Phenolic peat notes are also revealed on the palate, along with fruity apple notes and sweet cane sugar.

The Ileach Peated Islay Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% The Ileach Whisky The Scottish single malt whisky is a minor celebrity on the island of Islay. It takes its name from the Gaelic and is the name for an inhabitant of the island. For a very long time, the distillery's whisky was only available to buy on the island. Since 1999, however, we in Germany have also been lucky enough to be able to enjoy Islay whisky. It is produced by the Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Co. distillery and is a worthy representative of the island's taste. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact age, but one thing is clear: it is a strong, peaty, smoky whisky. In 2008, it even received a review from Jim Murray, who gave it 94 out of 100 points. On the nose, it is reminiscent of the rugged coasts of Islay and exudes smoky and peaty notes. On the palate, however, these are not quite as pronounced and are somewhat softened by fine spicy notes.

Inver House Green Plaid Whisky 0.7L 40% Inver House Distillery The Scottish whisky company was founded by the Americans as a subsidiary in Scotland. Instead of buying into any company, they wanted to try their luck with their own distillery. They bought 'Airdrie' as a base and acquired the old paper mill. They converted this into a very large complex in 1964/65 and were able to start producing malt whisky and grain whisky. The distillery had two lines, Glen Flagler and Killyloch. In the years that followed, the company bought up several well-known distilleries: the Loch Lomond distillery, Catto's, Balbair and many more. It was only when the Americans gave up the distillery that the brand really took off. Inver House Green Plaid The addition 'Plaid' is the Scottish name for the checked wool tartan pattern used for the famous kilts. According to stories, the 'Green Plaid' was worn by the very first Lord of the Isles, a famous Viking warrior 'Tartan' from the 12th century. This can also be seen on the label of the whisky bottle. The Inver House Green Plaid combines all the refinements of the individual whisky distilleries: fruitiness from An Cnoc or malted barley for which Balbair is known.
