Glen Scotia 1832 Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1.0L 46% Glen Scotia is a whisky distillery from Campbeltown with a company history spanning almost 200 years. The Glen Scotia distillery was founded in 1832 and, like many whisky distilleries, went through many ups and downs during this founding period. The distillery remained in family ownership for just over a century until it was sold to West Highland Malt Distillers in 1919. They filed for bankruptcy just five years later, so the distillery was resold. It now belonged to Duncan McCallum. The 1920s were not easy years due to the prohibition of alcohol in the USA, which became apparent for McCallum towards the end of the 1920s. Due to massive business losses in the USA and personal illegal dealings, he went bankrupt and the distillery had to be closed in 1928. From then on, the Bloch Brothers took over the Glen Scotia distillery, managed to survive Prohibition, and operations resumed in 1933 shortly after its repeal. A good 20 years later, the distillery was sold, closed, and remodeled until it was acquired in 2014 by the private equity company Forma Exponent, who still owns Glen Scotia today. Due to its proximity to the sea and the small island of Islay, Glen Scotia has concentrated on peated whiskies, which are known for their very smoky and peaty character. Whisky 1832 The Whisky 1832, which is intended to be a homage to the year the distillery was founded, is first matured in American oak barrels after distillation and then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels.

Deanston Highland Single Malt Whisky Kentucky Cask Matured 0.7L 40% Deanston Kentucky Bourbon Anyone who thinks that bourbon always has to be American is mistaken. Deanston Kentucky Bourbon actually comes from the birthplace of whisky, Scotland. The distillery, which is relatively young for whisky, was only built in 1965 in the community of Deanston. There were already some good conditions on site that were ideal for setting up a distillery. The distillery was built on the foundations of an old cotton factory, and the old cotton mill from this was still there and was extensively converted so that it could continue to be used. Kentucky Bourbon Cask Matured. For the Kentucky Bourbon Cask Matured, the whisky from the Scottish Highland region was matured in 1st and 2nd fill barrels from a renowned Kentucky distillery. Unfortunately, we do not know how long this finish lasts, but it must not have been too short, because the whisky has a strong and full-bodied aroma. The aroma is initially reminiscent of crème brûlée with its slight sweetness, refined with almond aroma and flavor. The palate then reveals a more complex and, above all, full-bodied bourbon. It proves to be very creamy on the tongue. Notes of caramelized pears and apples as well as oak and a hint of cinnamon can be recognized before it turns into a long-lasting finish with notes of oak and barley.

Glendronach Traditionally Peated Highland Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 48% GlenDronach The GlenDronach distillery was founded in 1826 by an association under the management of James Allardice. In the next century, several changes of ownership followed, including once belonging to the Grant family, who ran it successfully for a good forty years. However, after further changes of ownership, it had to be closed down in 1996. In 2002 production was under the management of Allied Distillers until the distillery was sold back to Benriach in 2008, making it finally independent. In addition to a core range such as a 12-, 15-, 18- or Cask Strength, there is an extensive selection of various bottlings. Traditionally Peated This whisky is based on an old 'tradition' which was used to make whisky over 200 years ago. Back then it was quite common to finish the malting process of the barley with peat smoke. With the Traditionally Peated, Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barries brought this tradition back to life and then left it to mature in various barrels, previously stored with Pedro Ximenez sherry, Oloroso sherry or port wine. The taste offers a pleasant sweetness combined with aromas of clove oranges, blackberries and a certain hint of peat smoke. The finish is medium-long and offers notes of anise as well as smoky and slightly earthy notes.
