Asbach Uralt Germany Deep harvest-gold color—a very pretty appearance by brandy standards; the forward nose is candy sweet, vanilla-cake-frosting-like, and slightly metallic, though not unpleasant in the least. After a third pass, I pick up an ethereal hint of raw apple—I keep envisioning coffee cake or Danish pastry for some reason as I sniff it.

Chateau De Laubade

VSOP Armagnac

France Since 1896, Chateau Laubade has been one of the few estates to specialize in vintage Armagnac. Noted for its finesse, depth of flavor and dark, strong color, this Armagnac is considered one of the finest in the world and is known to be the favorite of several of Europe's royal families. Because only selected grapes are used in the production of Chateau Laubade's Armagnac, annual production is limited to under 40,000 bottles, and in those years where the grapes do not come meet the Chateau's standards, a vintage is not declared.

The courvoisier line of cognacs feature on the top-end XO Imperial, a Fine Champagne cognac comprised of brandies aged between 20-35 years and Initiale Extra, a blend of Borderies and Grande Champagne brandies aged more than 50 years.

Louis Royer
France
Force 53 is an exceptional cognac, a VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac with an alcoholic strength of 53%. Why 53%? At the still's outflow, the eau-de-vie contains 70 - 72 percent of alcohol by volume. With the passing, the 'angels share' - progressively reduces the alcoholic strength. It is by adding distilled water little by little, that the cellar master brings down the Cognac alcoholic content to the legal minimum of 40 per cent of alcohol by volume. It is around 53% that the VSOP Fine Champagne best reveals the magic of typical aromas of a subtly rounded Fine Champagne, obtained from well aged Cognacs.

Aged between 5 - 6 years.

Williams - Poire




France

One of the most delicious and fragrant brandies made from Alsace's abundant supply of fruit is that of the Williams Pear, Eau-de-vie de poire Williams. It is made by fermenting crushed ripe fruit for up to six weeks, and then distilling it to a relatively low strength which preserves its distinctive bouquet. It is then allowed to age. Knowing exactly the necessary time for aging and mellowing of a brandy like Poire Williams is one of the secrets of a great distiller's craft.

Bunratty Potcheen

Outlaws always get all of the attention. Such is the case with Bunratty Potcheen. Made from only the best of malt, barley, yeast, sugar, and water, Potcheen (or 'poitin', Gaelic for 'little pot' - named such due to the fact it was distilled in pot stills in remote areas throughout Ireland) is the original treasured spirit of the Celtic Isle of Saints and Scholars.

Yet the history of Potcheen is exceptionally noteworthy. Due to a Crown-imposed levy on spirits in 1661, Potcheen was banned for sale in Ireland. While approved for export, Potcheen could not be sold within Ireland, where it was made. You could buy and drink Potcheen in California, but not in County Clare!

The clear liquor has a smooth, dry, extra strong taste and a delightfully changing aftertaste that sweetens as it develops. While legend claims that the original Irish Coffee was made with Potcheen over fifty years ago, it is a versatile spirit. Drink it neat, on the rocks or with a mixer such as tonic or sprite and savor the spirit that keeps Irish eyes smiling.


Bushmill's This Single Malt Whiskey is matured for at least ten years in specially selected American barrels, which have previously held bourbon whisky, and put away to sleep for a minimum of ten uninterrupted years in vast, dark, aromatic warehouses. Thus, it develops its full flavor, character and hue, and finally presents as a well-balanced and approachable malt.

Bushmill's
Bushmills Malt 16 year Old is a rare Single Malt Irish Whiskey. With “Three Wood” maturation and finishing , a malt of distinction emerges, with a fullness of depth and flavor rarely found. This characterful whiskey is first matured 50/50 in a combination of American bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts for 16 years and upwards. In these sherry butts over the long years, mild toasted wood, vanilla and sweet nutty flavors develop gently in the spirit. The malt whiskey is then vatted and married for many months in large old port wine pipes. Here a nice finishing touch of sweet wine character is acquired, and all these various flavor elements mature and mellow together mysteriously.

Bushmills 1608
Bushmills 400th birthday.  Of course, such a birthday celebration would be wanting without a commemorative bottling. Accordingly, the distiller released Bushmills 1608   in the United States in February 2008.. The new whiskey blends the standard Bushmills triple-distilled malt and a small portion of grain whiskey with what the distiller calls "crystal malt." In the case of the latter malt, the barley is germinated while it is still moist to create a crystallized appearance. The result is a sweeter, fuller flavored whiskey than the standard expressions.

Bushmills
21 Years
A delicate, Madeira-influenced fruity perfume laced with nuts, honeyed cloves, and burnt raisins.
Worth knowing
Half of this limited-production whiskey was aged in ex–Wild Turkey bourbon barrels, and half was aged in Spanish oloroso sherry casks. After 21 years, the two whiskies were combined and finished in Madeira casks.

kilbeggan.gif (17817 bytes)
Kilbeggan Kilbeggan is Gaelic for "little church". Legend has it that monks in the 12th Century began distilling Uisce Beatha (Water of Life) or whiskey using the barley from the surrounding fields and the waters of the Brosna river and heating the stills with turf from the local peat boglands. 

Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey is distilled from the pure clear water and barley of Ireland, gently matured for long years in oak casks resting in ancient warehouses and skillfully blended to create a whiskey of unique smoothness, balance and character. Makes a great Irish Coffee.

The single malt is well-rounded with a wonderfully subtle smoky flavor from the peat that lingers on the palate. It is best enjoyed in a snifter or on the rocks.

tullamor.gif (13935 bytes) Tullamore Dew single malt - The legendary story behind Tullamore Dew first began far back in the mists of time before the 10th Century when the Irish originated the magic of "Uisge Beatha" or Whiskey. Golden Irish barley and pure, clear, springwater are at the heart of the legend. Following triple distillation the legend grows with the slow maturation for many years in oak casks while the light and mellow taste of Tullamore Dew develops. You can enjoy Tullamore Dew on its own, with ice, with soda or water. Tullamore Dew is naturally ideal for making a traditional Irish Coffee.

The Distillery
Situated on the shores of Loch Indaal lies the village of Bowmore. Known as the 'capital' of the island, Bowmore is home to one of the great malt distilleries. It is thought that development of the distillery began just as the village itself began to take shape, in 1768. Bowmore was one of the first legal distilleries on the island. The establishment of Bowmore was a natural development, in line with the industrial evolution of the village. Built during a time of common grain shortages, the output of Bowmore initially reflected this influence. Whilst development of the distillery was not anticipated to be of immediate benefit to the islanders, after two centuries of continuous production, the vision of the Campbells has certainly been realised.

Bruichladdich

Nose: "Fresh, clean, flowery. Primroses. "
Palate: "Lightly creamy. Peaches. Summer fruits. Passion fruit. Zesty, almost effervescent. "
Finish: "The flavours meld, with a touch of sharpness. "
Comment: Not only the liveliness of youth but also the least wood influence. The use of second-fill casks leaves the fruity flavours of Bruichladdich to express themselves more freely.

Link  Augusta  14 years
A links course is considered to be the most natural form of golf course. Situated by the sea, links courses use the natural topography of undulating, sandy terrain which 'links' the beach to the inner, firmer land as opposed to manicured inland courses which are artificially constructed on clay or chalky soil.

There has always been a social link between whisky and golf: Bruichladdich is the most natural single malt available, still made by traditional methods in keeping with links golf courses which are the most natural and traditional form of golf course.

Bruichladdich Links is a series of limited edition bottlings chosen by Jim McEwan, our Master Distiller.

This 15 year-old is surprisingly soft and smooth. Flavors of vanilla and honey. Touch smoke on the intense finish.

The distillery was originally named Strathspey when it was established during the whisky boom of the late 1890s by two men from Kingussie. They chose the site for its access to a supply of clear spring water from Lochan-Doire-Uaine, above the snow line, and abundant peat from the surrounding moors.

Edradour
10 Years
Edradour is the smallest whisky distillery in Scotland, nestled in a pocket glen in the hills above Pitlochry; possibly the smallest legal distillery of any kind in the World.

At a weekly output of a mere 600 gallons - enough to fill twelve casks - what Edradour makes in a year, a typical Speyside distillery would produce in a week. Only the finest spirit is laid down by John into hand-selected oak casks for the ten year long wait before it can take the name of Edradour. During the aging process the whisky is regularly monitored with the same hand care and attention that it took to produce it.

It is a small wonder, then, that Edradour can be a little hard to track down, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few. If you manage to find it, you will be one of the few people lucky enough to experience its charm!

Good balance of primary flavours. Fresh and clean; hint of Sugar Puffs (brand) but the overall impression is dry - positive. There is an interesting hint of ginger in the finish, which is dry

JMR Peaty
This started life as two completely separate whiskies.

Following a few days spent on Islay in 1995, Jon has always been a big fan of Peaty whiskies and was very keen for Robbo to create a new whisky in this distinctive style.

At the same time, Mark had asked for a Smokey style whisky, similar to Highland Park or Talisker. So Robbo created two amazing whiskies that spurred a heated debate as to which was better.

The discussion continued well into the night at a hotel outside Bristol, culminating in a moment of genius... someone (can't remember who) mixed the two whiskies in the same glass. It tasted amazing, distinctive yet smooth, Smokey and Peaty at the same time: The Smokey Peaty One was born.


JMR Sweeter

John and Mark were looking for whisky that is incredibly smooth and a little sweeter than other malts.

We have to be honest, Robbo struggled. He tried combinations of malts, malt and grain whiskies, just grain whisky and nothing really hit the spot.

So, breaking with convention and taking the maverick path to maximum malt flavour we present our fab fusion of Ireland's finest with Scotland's finest - to create the first multi country malt - a cool Celtic combination !

Launched on Paddy's day (17th March 2005) we are sure that this will tickle the taste buds.

Blue

The secret of Johnnie Walker Blue lies within the combination and balance of the fines and oldest single malts, with slow distilled, Cardhu at the center of the recipe. Specially selected from some of the rarest of the Walker reserve, each individual whisky has been chosen at the peak of its perfection. This complex blend has slightly spicy overtones. It mellow slowly in the mouth, with a mild satisfying oakiness.

Swing (so named for the rocking motion of the bottle when pushed) has a rich old gold color and a nose of almost perfumed sweetness. It is smooth with a light freshness that covers a deeper fruitiness with some smoke and oak flavors.

Distilled by Justerini & Brooks. A Single Malt Speyside Highland. A somewhat sharp initial attack but the taste makes up for it. They print the distillation and bottling dates, which  is very considerate, more distilleries should  do this. 

This distillery is tucked away behind trees in a dip on the river Isla near Keith. It was originally built as a meal mill in  1823, converted into a distillery in 1891 and acquired by Gilbey's the gin distilers in 1895. It produces about  52,000 alcohol-litres/week, all destined for blends. It is a neat and clean distillery, employing stainless-steel mashing  and fermenting vessels. It buys in ts malt from various sources including Buckie and Pencaitland. There are six washbacks and two pairs of stills. The spirit stills are equipped with 'purifiers' which reflux the heavier fusel oils etc.  back into the distillation while allowing the lighter vapours on into the main condenser.

Lagavulin 16 years Lagavulin legitimately claims to be one of the oldest distilleries 
in Scotland. Distilling on the site is thought to date from as 
early as 1742. In the late 1700s it is believed that there were 
up to ten illicit stills operating in the district. But by the 1830s 
only two distilleries remained in the bay. In 1837 these 
distilleries amalgamated to form Lagavulin. At this stage the 
distillery was under the ownership of the Graham brothers 
and James Logan Mackie, uncle of Sir Peter Mackie who 
later became one of the 'big five' in the whisky industry.

Springbank
Owned and run by our own Gordon Wright, and his family, since 1828. Springbank is the oldest family owned distillery in Scotland, as well as the last one to carry out the whole process from 100% floor malting through to bottling on the same site. Campbeltown is infamous for the extraordinarily high number of pubs and churches per capita. It must be that the citizens, having consumed Scotland's bestdram, feel the need to give thanks to the Almighty. 
1967 Springbank. Deep golden color. Its nose is vanilla and the salty sea side. The palate is full and rich with  many layers of flavor which develop as you drink. A crisp clean finish combined with salty sweet notes, which refuse to die. A better after dinner dram would be  hard to find.
