Speyside

Matured for 18 years, Aberlour Distillery Double Sherry Cask is a high-quality Single Malt Whisky from the Speyside region. It was initially matured in a combination of American and European oak casks, allowing the whisky to develop a solid aromatic base and a balanced cask structure. Selected Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks were used for the subsequent finish, giving the Single Malt additional depth and a typical sherry flavour. The overall taste of the Aberlour Double Sherry Cask is mild, harmonious and slightly fruity with soft sherry notes reminiscent of dark fruits and a subtle sweetness. The profile is complemented by subtle spicy cask accents and a well-integrated wood structure. The long maturation process over 18 years makes for a complex yet accessible Single Malt that will appeal to lovers of classic sherry cask whiskies in particular.

Glenrothes Discovery matured for eleven years in sherry casks. In 2018, Gordon & MacPhail relaunched its entire range with the addition of the 'Discovery Series'. All their bottlings differ in Taste and due to their production. Thus, there are the three flavour profiles bourbon cask, sherry cask and smoky (smoky). The different characters differ in their colour design: green = bourbon cask; purple = sherry cask; white/grey = smoky.

The 16-year-old Dailuaine was bottled by Diageo. Under the Flora & Fauna Series, the owner bottles selected casks from several distilleries, each individually as a Single Malt. The Flora & Fauna series is a true enrichment of the whisky scene and is considered by collectors as an original bottling, if there are no other original bottlings.

Cardhu means something like black rock in Gaelic. The distillery's bottlings are produced in a relatively long distillation process.

The Aultmore distillery has been producing Speyside whisky since 1897. Water from a spring in the Foggie Moss region is used for the malt. After no original bottling was distributed in recent years, this 12-year-old Single Malt is now available.

Benriach is located in the heart of Speyside, between the village of Rothes and the town of Elgin. The distillery is one of the few in Scotland that still malt their own barley. The 16-year-old Single Malt was composed by Master Blender Rachel Barrie and matured in Bourbon barrels, Sherry casks and Virgin Oak casks.

Tomintoul has special heat exchangers that make the distillation process particularly energy-saving. The 16-year-old standard bottling matured in former bourbon casks.

Tamdhu is owned by independent bottler Ian Macleod. This 15-year-old Single Malt matured entirely in Spanish oloroso sherry casks. The elegant glass bottle is reminiscent of the Victorian era.

This 13-year-old Single Malt was matured in Armagnac casks from the Bas-Armagnac region. Original bottlings from the Craigellachie distillery have also been available again since 2014. In addition to the 13-year-old, a 17-year-old and a 23-year-old malt are also available. The distillery continues to use traditional worm tubs to cool the distillate. They give the whisky a special flavour.

The Craigellachie distillery still distils its whisky in traditional copper worm tubs. Great importance is also attached to the quality of the barley. This original bottling was stored in oak casks for over 17 years.

This 21-year-old Balvenie Port Wood has been matured in 30-year-old port casks. Balvenie has been in the Grant family for five generations. The distillery grows its own barley and also has its own malting floors.

The Aberlour Forest Reserve is matured for at least 10 years in Bourbon and Sherry casks before it receives its finish in French oak casks. This gives it a soft and spicy character as well as a long, warming finish.
