GlenDronach

The GlenDronach Revival 15-year-old scotch grows in layers of fresh flavours, with notes of cedar, chocolate-covered cherries, walnuts, and honey, and goes on contributing, with a seemingly miles-long aftertaste. It begins with a spicy fruit scent after being aged in Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry casks in the Highlands. Drink it neat with milk chocolate or aged cheeses, or try it with an ice cube for a few seconds and see what happens.

Ardray

It is a stunningly smooth blended whisky that has been expertly produced with Japanese skill using a selection of superb older single malts representing every Scotland terroir. The remarkably exquisite flavour was created with adventurous whisky lovers in mind and represented the first collaboration between the renowned Suntory blending team and Scottish whisky producers. The beverage is an amazing balance from beginning to end, free of chill filtering and at its natural tint. It has a lovely aromatic sweetness of apple, plum and clementine. But the palate has more depth, with mild smoke emerging alongside creamy vanilla and orange blossom. Just take a sip and embrace the long-lasting aftertaste in the mouth.

Glenmorangie

This iconic whisky has raised the bar for Highland drams, which are frequently disregarded in favour of their more well-known Speyside relatives. Glenmorangie is a well-rounded, warming, not overpowering whisky that will entice anyone looking to taste a dram neat for the first time. Once you open the bottle, a sweet aroma of vanilla and orange will greet you. The palate delights with mouth-coating sweetness and the refreshing taste of honey, malt, apricots, and banana.

Forest Whisky

Although best known for producing Forest Gin, the Forest Distillery near Macclesfield also produces some of the best British whiskies. It's a unique addition to your liquor cabinet because it comes in black English porcelain bottles with real gold glaze. Once the bottle is opened, a lovely chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and buttercream aroma will greet you. It also has a lovely palate with oak, candied orange, toffee, and chocolate flavours complemented by baking spices and black pepper.

Glenrothes

The Whisky Baron Glenrothes from The Whisky Baron begins with sweet, stewed orchard fruit aromas reminiscent of a compote. Delicate spice notes follow Rich manuka honey and caramel. There is a slight sharpness to the nose, but not enough to interfere with the fragrances. On the palate, gingerbread and sweet spices dominate at first, with cinnamon taking centre stage. A mince pie coated with caster sugar combines multicoloured peppercorns with mincemeat and dough. The fruits have dried, and the whisky is overall quite well balanced. The sweet start is replaced by spices at the end, producing a very lengthy, peppery, and dry finish.

Bunnahabhain

The Whisky Baron - Bunnahabhain is pleasant at first, with vanilla and pure honey notes. After the whisky has been breathed for a while, floral honeysuckle notes emerge, as do notes of sponge cake with apricot jam and icing sugar. This whisky has a light nose prickle that makes it quite easy to drink. The flavour of The Whisky Baron - Bunnahabhain is reminiscent of the nose, with plenty of sponge cake and apricot jam, vanilla, fudge, and a hint of coconut. Floral notes are fainter, and honey characteristics are more complex, shifting from clear to crystalline across the palate. A little water adds a creamier texture. The aftertaste is rich and sweet, with undertones of mellow oak.

Wolfburn

It is made from spirit that has aged a little over seven years in a combination of ex-bourbon quarter casks and deliciously sweet Oloroso sherry barrels. This hand-selected barrel pairing created a smooth and rounded single malt whisky, and Wolfburn bottled it at cask strength to accentuate the flavours. This whisky has a captivating aroma of fresh bourbon, mellowed by a sweet sherry flavour. The mouth-coating sweetness and the crisp flavour of sticky toffee pudding, along with trifle sponge and chocolate truffles, tempt the palate. There is sweetness from the caramel, with undertones of toffee and demerara sugar. Up to the very end, there is still a faint hint of peat smoke, assuring a stunning lingering end.

Berry Bros & Rudd

Beginning in the 19th century, Berry Bros & Rudd has a strong history of providing blended whisky. The mouthwatering smells of melted butter, honeyed toast, and warm gorse blossoms dance out of the glass as this wonderful combination is poured. The palate is both vibrant and expansive, rolling around the mouth with flavours of spiced fruit, mango, subtle hemp, wood polish, and beeswax. The finish offers additional fruit, including orange and lychee.

Bushmills

Bushmills is meticulously aged in bourbon barrels and sherry butts before finishing in first-fill Pedro Ximénez casks, creating a spirit with a depth and elegance that will last for generations. The senses were charmed by the rich, enticing fragrances of dates, figs, raisins, and prunes mixed with treacle toffee, soft clove, and sweet spice. This whisky has a long, complex finish that serves as a reminder of the incredible number of years it took to develop its distinct personality. There is a lingering sweetness of toffee and dried fruit. This excellent single malt's elegance and finesse tempt the palate and beg for a second sip.
