Bunnahabhain Toiteach

2009-06-22T15:08:00.002Z

'This single malt embraces a powerful proposition: the foundation for a variation on the famous Bunnahabhain single Islay malt Scotch whisky. What if a touch of smoke from our peated malted barley was introduced in the distillation process? The Islay character is quite distinctive from that of the Bunnahabhain single malt , known for its gentle taste. Toiteach (pronounced Toch Chach - so that's clear then) means 'smoky' in Gaelic, reflecting the seeming contradiction that this peaty paradox represents.
　
This special bottling offers the connoisseur an opportunity to try something truly unique and beguiling in nature. The liquid has been masterfully distilled and quietly matured at the distillery, never for a moment leaving Islay during this process.

Tasting Notes:
　
Appearance: A light golden hue glows from within.
Aroma: Charming peatiness with a subtle nose, prickling strength emanates from the dram.
Palate: Immediate warming peaty flavours drift towards a slightly sweet sherry influence with delicate peppery notes.
Finish: Good robust length with extremely pleasant aftertaste- beautifully peated Bunnahabhain single malt for the discerning palate!'

RRP £50 and extremely limited.

Talisker 57 North

2008-11-13T13:01:00.003Z

Coming soon...

Talisker 57 Degrees North bottled at 57% abv.

Official Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep Gold
Nose: Struck matches suggest a volcano’s imminent eruption with seaweed marking high water on the shore.
Palate: At full strength an intense, smoky hot attack explosively evokes the rugged, raw volcanic power that formed the Isle of Skye’s famous Black Cuillins.
Finish: The classic Talisker finish, intensified – oily, medicinal, tingling and peppery.

Glenfiddich 1977

2008-11-13T11:54:00.002Z

On its way...
An ultra limited edition (just 21 bottles for the UK and 482 in total) of single cask Glenfiddich 1977 bottled at 54.1% abv

Official Tasting Notes:
Colour - Dark amber
Nose - A rich and complex aroma with deep, sherry notes (raisins, dates, sultanas) and a beautiful oaky sweetness. Addition of a little water releases a vibrant spicy character with hints of vanilla, butterscotch and polished leather.
Taste - A wonderful balance of rich oak notes and sweet, fruity spice. Initially very intense with lots of oak tannin and mouth-coating wood flavour. After a few minutes a subtle vanilla sweetness and gentle fruity character develops (baked apple, rhubarb, ripe pears). The layers of flavour continue to unfold over a very long period meandering from oak to sweet to fruity to spicy and back again.
Finish - Very long and lingering with a warm, sweet afterglow.
