Ardbeg Ten Years Old Gift Box 70cl
Ardbeg is revered across the whisky world as The Ultimate Islay Single Malt. Ardbeg is the peatiest, smokiest yet most balanced of all the Islay malts. Ardbeg is not a one dimensional peaty malt. Rather, Ardbeg balances smokiness with sweetness to provide a wider complexity of taste.
Ardbeg’s portfolio of whiskies is the most awarded of all the smoky malts – Ardbeg has won 51 gold, double gold or best in class medals since 2008. These awards include World Whisky of the Year 2008 and 2009, Scotch Whisky of the Year in 2010 and World’s Best Single Malt in 2013.
Not only that, Ardbeg is lauded by the whisky cognoscenti and adored by whisky fans around the world, including the 100,000 members of the world-famous Ardbeg Committee.
Ardbeg Ten Years old reveals an explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions on the tongue: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. This is followed by a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils.

Bunnahabhain Stiureadair Unaged Single Malt Whisky 70cl
Building our distillery in such a remote location wasn’t the easy choice, but it was the right one. Chosen for its gentle coastal climate, abundance of clear spring water and natural harbour, the mouth of the river- or Bunnahabhain- became home to a unique, unpeated Islay whisky. What our founders probably didn’t count on was the impact the coast would have on the very essence of this distinctive single malt whisky. Because we mature our whisky at the distillery, in shoreline warehouses that are continually exposed to the elements, the sea leaves an indelible mark and can be tasted in every bottle of Bunnahabhain. This coastal influence has been exposed in the fresh and vibrant Stiuireadair (pronounced stew-rahdur). To create Stiuireadair our Blender, has selected first and second fill sherry casks with spirit of varying ages and warehouse locations to construct a dram that truly exposes the coastal nature of the Bunnahabhain single malt whisky. Whilst not losing the sherry influence everyone knows and loves in the famous 12 year old, we believe this new release has instigated a costal storm in Stiuireadair.

Caol Ila 12 Years Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
About Caol Ila
Having recently been awarded Double Gold in both 2010 and 2011 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Coal Ila is the ideal gift for any distinguished whisky enthusiasts. The ultimate Islay malt, Caol Ila is considered by experts to be the perfect entry point into the world of peaty malt whiskies. Unique and distinctive Islay smokiness makes Caol Ila a reference for connoisseurs of Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky the world over.
Caol Ila is the Gaelic name for the Sound of Islay, which separates the island from Jura in one of the most remote and beautiful parts of Scotland’s West Coast. The distillery was founded in 1846 and is situated on the shores of the Sound, a spot originally chosen partly because of the clean water from Loch Nam Ban which still provides its main supply.
Taste
Fresh, sweetly fruity and smooth-bodied, Caol Ila 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky is the colour of pale straw, with a delicate balance of tastes. The clean, appetising nose shows subtle citrus fruit with just a puff of smoke. Firm and smooth, it begins sweetly then yields a fragrant smokiness and a sweet-smoky, lingering finish.
Food Match
Try it with appetising, salty savoury dishes. For example, olive tapenade on French bread, or juicy warm chorizo sausage. Odd as it may sound, shortbread works well too.

Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl
Cardhu comes from one of the oldest of the Speyside distilleries, which have nestled in foothills near the River Spey for 200 years and the Cardhu range is an excellent representation of these Speyside whiskies. Known for its smooth, sweet-natured single malt whisky, the history of Cardhu’s rise to fame is to a large part told in the story of two determined women who were members of the founding family. Helen Cumming, who founded the distillery with her husband in 1811, can fairly be called the first ‘woman of whisky’, and her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, became known as the ‘Queen of the Whisky Trade’ after cleverly exploiting the growing popularity of Scotch whisky in the late 1880s. Elizabeth’s achievements made Cardhu an irresistible acquisition for John Walker & Sons in 1893. The new owners kindly allowed Elizabeth to remain in ‘her hospitable home’ to the delight of local folk, by whom she was highly regarded. The light character of the 12yr old Cardhu is an excellent starting point for anyone starting on their whisky journey.
