Whisky

The silky smooth Bushmills Madeira Finish was made from non-smoking malt. It matured for 19 years in Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. The post-maturation for two years in old Madeira casks leads to a complex aroma with grapes, honey, dark chocolate and rare spices.

All five malts from the three distilleries in the Campbeltown region were used for the Campbeltown Loch. The whisky was bottled in casks at the Springbank distillery and consists exclusively of whisky from each of Campbeltown's five whisky brands: Springbank, Hazelburn, Longrow, Kilkerran and Glen Scotia.

The small town of Campbeltown was the centre of Scottish whisky production in the 19th century. Today, there are only three distilleries left, two of which are owned by Springbank.

The limited Ardbeg Auriverdes of 2014 got its name from the golden colour (Auri) and the distillery's typical green bottle (Verde). This year's host country of the World Cup, Brazil, is also called Auriverdes because of its national colours.

Auriverdes is distinguished by the barrels used for maturation. The refill barrels received new, specially toasted lids before the second filling.

For Balvenie Caribbean Cask, Malt Master David Stewart filled American oak casks with special rum. When the casks were full of rum aromas, he replaced the contents with 14-year-old Balvenie. Scottish whisky thus meets Caribbean joie de vivre. Rich and sweet with a fruity character.

This Peaky Blinder Irish blended whiskey matures entirely in bourbon barrels. It owes its name to a street gang in the 19th century. The well-known member of this gang, Stephen McHickie, is depicted on the label. The image is based on his police photograph when he was caught robbing a textile shop at the age of 25. In addition to the Irish blended whiskey, the scope of delivery includes a shot glass with a decorative cartridge case.

The 12-year-old Wild Turkey was bottled especially for the Japanese market. The deep amber colour is due to the long maturation period in heavily charred oak barrels, the interior of which is designated with burn level 4, the so-called 'alligator char'. The name comes from the strength of the burn, which chars the inside of the barrel to resemble the armoured skin of an alligator.

The name Glenlivet 'Code' already says everything about the bottle. As mysterious as the bottle looks, so are its contents. The Glenlivet Code was brought to market without any indication of the cask and the flavour profile. The Glenlivet distillery wanted to take you on a voyage of discovery and test your personal knowledge of Single Malt whiskies. Inspired by the famous British 'code breakers', this limited edition is a labyrinth of flavours that will test the senses of the most discerning whisky drinkers. Meanwhile, the exact tasting notes of the Glenlivet Code have been revealed.

The Laphroaig Hunter series has produced outstanding bottlings over the years. All bottlings include a handmade book that tells stories from the distillery manager's life. Each bottling in the coming years tells another chapter of Ian Hunter's rich legacy. Ian Hunter was the last descendant of the Johnston family and managed the distillery from 1908 - 1944.

I.W. Harper has only been on the market again since 2015. 15 years is a proud age for a Bourbon. The brand itself can also look back on a long tradition. The first whiskey was distilled under the name I.W. Harper as early as 1872. Production was discontinued in the 1980s.

Kilchoman Batch Strength is part of the Islay distillery's Core Range Trilogy series and will probably be released annually in future. This single malt represents the natural strength and maritime distillery character of Kilchoman. The intense islander is matured in newly charred red wine casks, Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels. With a few drops of Kilchoman spring water, an alcohol strength of 57.0% vol. was achieved after maturation. The Tour Edition is the twin brother of the Batch Strength bottling. The distillery managers of the distillery are travelling through Europe with these bottles in their luggage in a Land Rover before they reach their final destination at the Feis Isle Whisky Festival on the island of Islay.

Blackened is a blend of hand-selected, well-aged North American Bourbon and Rye whiskeys that resulted from the collaboration of the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and the band Metallica. The Blend was uniquely matured in black brandy barrels while music by Metallica was played at full volume. This is to allow the liquid to penetrate deeper into the barrel staves. A very creative, new approach to maturation.

This Glen Spey belongs to Signatory's Un-Chillfiltered range, in which the whiskies are not chill-filtered. To prevent them from becoming cloudy, they were bottled with a higher alcohol content. As a result, the Single Malts have a particularly intense Taste. The 11-year-old was blended from two first-filled hogsheads.
