    Something interesting for both collectors and for peat fans, the first official release of bottles of peated single malts from maverick Loch Lomond Distillers, they produce a variety of whisky styles to enable self sufficiency in blend production. Unchillfiltered and at 46% they are good drams (despite their age - they compare well with Very Young Ardbeg) and limited to 400 bottles.

    Must be spring, wallets out chaps...

      A small-whisky-shop-keeper's exclusive from Bruichladdich, for which many thanks guys - and well done for a product that's unusual, unique and of ace quality, we're proud to offer it.

      A very rare bottling of Dunglass single malt.

      A Springbank 21yo, only 2,400 bottles as an interim bottling till the main production comes in about 7 years time

    Happy New Year! Many thanks to all who kept us busy over the last two months, a new record! Well done!

    Main reason for this posting is to alert mail order customers in Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and all countries beyond Europe of new shipping charges, sorry but it's a fact of life... Details here.
