Single Malt Whisky

Lagavulin 12 Years Special Release 2022 Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 57.3% According to legend, the "King of Islay" experienced an extraordinary rebirth. A spark from the sun fell on the land and ignited flames which, when extinguished, enveloped the scorched earth in thick smoke. From the ashes grew new life, manifested in shimmering plumes of honeyed gold and deep purple. A majestic phoenix, its wings of fire stretching upwards, brought new life to the Lagavulin distillery and enhanced the spicy intensity of this whisky. Lagavulin, the site of numerous legends, once sat enthroned in a rocky cove that housed the castle of the Lords of the Isles. This castle, a symbol of past rule, gave the distillery increasing popularity - a king destined to rule. This prized Islay malt is made at the roots of distilling and carries an intense, smoky character that dates back to over two hundred years of history. The Lagavulin 12 Years Special Release 2022 Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 57.3% presents itself in a shiny, shimmering gold and has a medium body. The aroma is dry and immediately permeated with intense smokiness, which is noticeably stronger compared to Lagavulin. Charcoal and fragrant peat dominate, accompanied by a clean, fresh base with hints of sea air and mineral nuances. These characteristics remain essentially unchanged even after reduction and the addition of water. The smooth, slightly oily texture of the whisky offers a sweet fullness. The taste starts sweet, then develops into a rising lemony acidity and is refreshed by a pinch of sea salt on the finish. In the mid-palate, the fire dries the flavour, enhancing the salty-smoky intensity and a touch of water brings a sweet note, with the smoke still dominant. The finish is long and marked by powerful waves of peat smoke as well as freshly ignited peaks of spicy and smoky intensity that linger beautifully in the aftertaste. This whisky experience is characterised by a remarkable balance between sweetness, freshness and smoky intensity.

Highland Park Viking Heart 15 Years Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 44% With the new Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the Highland Park distillery based on the Scottish island of Orkney, in collaboration with 'Wade Ceramics', is presenting its latest creation. 'Wade Ceramics' has been a well-known manufacturer of ceramic items in Great Britain since 1810. For a special bottle design, an sich has therefore teamed up with the manufacturer and created a truly exceptional ceramic bottle with strong embossing. Single malts from three different types of barrels were selected for the marriage: In addition to first-filled sherry and European and American oak barrels, refill barrels were also used. The aroma initially surprises with heather, a light smoky aroma and roasted cinnamon sticks. On the palate, a fine aroma of vanilla biscuit with subtle citrus notes, pineapple notes and intense honey notes develops and develops into a long and complex aftertaste with light peat notes.

Abducted Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% The label on the whisky bottle alone suggests that this is a sensational whisky. The label shows a torn newspaper cutting with the headline: 'Abducted Malt Whisky'. In German this means something like 'Kidnapped Malt Whisky'. It's easy to imagine that this is worth a headline. This headline can be explained as follows: The malt whisky is produced in Scotland. After distillation it is 'abducted' to Jerez in Spain to mature in a selection of special sherry casks. You can choose from Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks. Here a good third of the total whisky is divided into each type of cask, then it is matured for seven years. The maturation period is carried out using the typical Solera method. Flavours A special whisky with an exceptional character. It is very creamy and solid on the palate. The aromas are spicy to piquant, but all together they still make an elegant, well-rounded whisky. The finish is also a soft, round whisky with a medium-long finish. The notes of ripe berries and the influence of the sherry casks are evident in the form of a pleasant sweetness.

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.

Highland Park Single Malt Whisky Triskelion Special Edition 0.7L 45.1% This special edition was bottled on the occasion of the event "100 years of shared whisky knowledge". It is a creation by the current whisky maker Gordon Motion and two former master distillers of the distillery. They are Max McFarlane and John Ramsay. It is a whisky blend from different barrels, that is to say: whisky from Spanish oak barrels first filled with sherry, American oak barrels first filled with sherry, first filled bourbon barrels and a small amount from refill barrels. The symbol that can be seen on the bottle label also has a special meaning, as always with Highland Park. It comes from Nordic/Viking symbolism and stands for wisdom and inspiration, thus fitting here with the distillery's many years of experience. More than 100 years of experience This centuries-long experience is clearly reflected in the tasting. In terms of taste, the Triselion reflects a full-bodied and complex aroma. This consists of notes of Seville oranges, raisins and apricots. The taste is rounded off with notes of crème brûlee refined with vanilla. Notes of honey and spices such as coriander, which is rather unusual for whisky, round off the taste profile. The peaty part known for Highland Park is not neglected here either. The character of this edition also reflects the diverse characters of the three whisky distillers; it is lively, expressive and soft at the same time.

The distillery is the northernmost on the Scottish mainland and is called simply Pulteney, while it calls its whisky Old Pulteney.

The resulting alcohol vapors are passed through a T-shaped, slightly sloping pipe (lyne arm) into a stainless steel condenser (worm tub), which is rarely found in this form these days. After condensation, the fresh distillate is filled into barrels made of the best oak wood to mature in them for over 12 years.

A long finish with a coastal character The finish is persistent, with notes of sea spray, lemon zest, oak and gentle spice. Maritime freshness returns alongside citrus and woody nuances, creating a balanced and lingering conclusion.

Port Charlotte Islay Single Malt Whisky 2013 PMC: 01 - 0,7L 54,5%The Port Charlotte PMC: 01 -2013- Islay Single Malt Whisky comes from the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. Named after the nearby coastal village of Port Charlotte, this distinctive Islay Single Malt combines local character with intense fruit notes and expressive peat smoke. The whisky is made using barley sourced from Islay and is distilled in small stills. Its distinctive depth comes from a total of nine years of maturation.

This unusual cask combination creates an intriguing interplay of sweet fruit, creamy spice, dark chocolate and characteristic Islay peat smoke. On the nose, the whisky is intense and layered. Ripe blackberries and juicy grapes combine with dark chocolate and a distinctive yet well-integrated note of peat smoke. The fruity sweetness creates an appealing contrast to the smoky character. On the palate, the Port Charlotte PMC: 01 is full-bodied, remarkably smooth and richly aromatic. Blackberry and plum provide juicy fruit notes, while caramel, vanilla and chocolate add a soft, sweet and creamy character. In the background, the characteristic Islay peat gradually becomes more pronounced, adding depth and personality. The long-lasting finish brings together fruity sweetness, dark chocolate, vanilla and a pleasant smoky peat character. The extended maturation and combination of bourbon and Pomerol wine casks give this Islay Single Malt remarkable complexity. An expressive whisky for lovers of smoky Islay malts who appreciate the combination of peat and smoke with intense fruit, sweet cask influences and a long finish. Best enjoyed neat from a tasting glass, allowing its complex aromas to develop gradually.

Caperdonich 21 Year Speyside Single Malt Whisky 0,7L 48%Caperdonich 21 Years is an exceptional Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky and a fascinating piece of Scottish distillery history. Caperdonich Distillery was closed in 2002 and completely demolished in 2011. As a result, modern releases come from the remaining stocks of a distillery that no longer exists, giving this whisky particular appeal among enthusiasts of rare and historic Scotch. This 21-year-old Single Malt was released as part of the Secret Speyside series by Chivas Regal. The series showcases selected Speyside distilleries, including distilleries that have since closed, allowing whisky enthusiasts to discover their distinctive styles. The Caperdonich 21 Years spent its long maturation in new American oak casks. Over more than two decades, the whisky developed a harmonious combination of fruity, creamy and oak-influenced flavours. The extended maturation adds depth and richness while allowing the elegant character of the Speyside spirit to remain at the centre. In the glass, the whisky displays a bright amber colour. The nose is fresh and refined, opening with sweet orange aromas accompanied by delicate barley and grain notes. A subtle touch of lemon adds a lively citrus freshness. The overall bouquet is elegant and well balanced, revealing the gentle character of this Speyside Single Malt. On the palate, the harmonious profile continues. Juicy pear meets creamy vanilla, creating a smooth and silky texture. Delicate floral notes develop in the background, adding further elegance and complexity. The American oak remains subtly present, contributing gentle warmth while complementing the fruity character. The finish is long and balanced. Creamy vanilla, ripe pear and delicate floral notes linger pleasantly, creating a smooth and refined conclusion. Caperdonich 21 Years is therefore much more than a well-aged Speyside Single Malt: it preserves the character of a distillery that has disappeared from the Scottish whisky landscape. A fascinating rarity for whisky enthusiasts, collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate historic releases, elegant fruit-forward profiles and the story behind a whisky. Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass at room temperature to fully appreciate its delicate character.
