Situated at the confluence of the Lour and Spey Rivers in Strathspey, Aberlour Distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming. Fleming, who was the son of a local tenant farmer, ultimately became a grain dealer in the middle of the 19th century. At the time, he counted a number of whisky distilleries as his customers, and after purchasing more barley than he was able to sell, Fleming decided to open a distillery himself.In 1898, a fire consumed much of Aberlour Distillery and its inventory of whisky. Following its destruction, the distillery was rebuilt under the supervision of Charles Doig Scotlands foremost expert of whisky distilleries at the time. While the composition of the distillery and its equipment has inevitably been altered over the past century, Aberlours commitment to traditional craftsmanship and quality single malt whisky has remain unchanged.Aberlour Single Malt Whisky is made exclusively from Scottish barley, which is malted for approximately seven days before being dried above an unpeated kiln. Once the barley has been dried, it is milled and mashed with water drawn from St. Drostans Well. The well, which has been the distillerys source for water for over a century, was named after a missionary who used water from the well to baptise inhabitants in 580 AD. After the barley has been mashed, it is fermented before being twice-distilled through Aberlours copper-pot stills. The stills enjoy broad bases to expose as much direct heat as possible to the wash, and are equipped with swan-shaped necks which capture only the most pure vapors during distillation.Following distillation, Aberlour 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured in a combination of American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon and European oak casks that were previously used to mature Oloroso sherry. Oloroso sherry is a dark and nutty type of fortified wine, and the used Oloroso casks impart subtle yet sweet notes of dried fruits, caramel, plums and cherries to the whisky, and contribute an incredible layer of complexity.Pick up a bottle today!

The southernmost of the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, the island of Islay (pronounced EYE-lah) is only 240 square miles and home to just over 3,000 people. Still, the island is one of just five distilling regions in Scotland whose identity is protected by law. Ardbeg Distillery, which is situated on the southern coast of Islay, was founded in 1815 by the MacDougall family. By 1886, nearly one-third of the population of Islay worked at the distillery and today, it stands as a testament to Scottish heritage and tradition.Beneath the surface, however, the distillery has a checkered past. Ardbeg was once a notorious hideout for smugglers, who plied their trade within its hidden caves and secret beaches dark tales abound of daring deeds and narrow escapes from the islands excise men in the years before the McDougalls founded the distillery.Inspired by its murky past, this year Ardbeg has for the first time ever decided to plunge its annual Ardbeg Day into Ardbeg Night. To commemorate Ardbeg Night, which will take place on May 28th, 2016, Ardbeg has released Ardbeg Dark Cove Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a limited-edition bottling which Mickey Heads, the distillerys manager, claims is its darkest ever. Ardbeg Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from malted barley, which is peated to approximately 50 phenol parts per million. Once the grains have been fermented, they are distilled twice, first through a copper-pot wash still and then again through a copper-pot spirit still. The spirit still is equipped with a purifier, which acts as small condenser and causes a portion of the evaporating vapors to be pumped back into the pot and then re-distilled. This purification process, which is rare in the industry, results in whisky that has a signature fresh and malty flavor.Ardbeg Dark Cove Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky was aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and dark (read: heavily-seasoned) sherry casks, which contribute notes of cured meats, chocolate oranges, coffee, oil, and blackcurrant to the nose. The palate transitions to tart flavors of lime, honey, ginger, pepper and oak, and leads to an exquisite finish marked by almonds, toffee, raisins, dates and wood polish.This limited-edition whisky is sure to sell out quickly pick up a bottle (or two) today!

"Its one of the raw materials we must have," says Michael Heads, Ardbegs Distillery Manager, of the water sourced from the loch. "Loch Uigeadail" translates as the dark place "its got very deep, peaty water in it and its what we require for making our bold whisky. So its vitally important."Ardbeg Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from malted barley, which is peated to approximately 50 phenol parts per million. Once the peated barley arrives at the distillery, it is milled and mashed with water sourced from Loch Uigeadail before being fermented in washbacks made of Oregon pine. While wooden washbacks are more expensive and difficult to maintain as compared to stainless steel washbacks, they absorb a portion of the heat generated during the fermentation process and thus, create a lighter and more rich whisky. In addition, the wooden washbacks contribute estery, carbolic compounds to the whisky.Following fermentation, which lasts for 55 hours, the wash is distilled twice, first through a copper-pot wash still and then again through a copper-pot spirit still. The spirit still is equipped with a purifier, which acts as small condenser and causes a portion of the evaporating vapors to be pumped back into the pot and then re-distilled. This purification process, which is rare in the industry, results in whisky that has a signature fresh and malty flavor.This incredible 19-year-old whisky is matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks Ardbeg Traigh Bhan effortlessly accomplishes the impossible balance. Ardbeg Traigh Bhan is inspired by Islays Traigh Bhan beach (known locally as the Singing Sands), this rare aged spirit is an enchanting reflection of the place to which it owes its name.

Ardmores distinctiveness transcends its whisky. Its mighty Victorian distillery is a sight to behold, nestled incongruously amongst the placid Highland countryside, home to the rarity that is the peated Highland single malt. Adam teacher was the son of a Glasgow blender, William Teacher. In 1898, Adam set out to build a family run distillery, in the Highlands of Aberdeenshire, to supply a steady supply of Whisky to support their famous blendTeachers Highland Cream.Located in rural Aberdeenshire just outside of Kennethmont, the land was owned bya family friend Col. Leith-Hay. The facility location proved most ideal, having its own water supply, and nearby peat and barley sources. The railway even ran directly alongside the distillery. Their stills remained coal-fed until 2001. Specializing in blends, Ardmore remains one of the few distilleries that produce their highland malts in a peated style. Ardmore Legacy was released in 2014. The lightly peated single malt has a milder sweeter character than most of Ardmores traditionally peated whiskies. An ideal gateway drinker for the peated whisky novice, this whisky combines notes of creamy vanilla, smoky charcoal, sweet honey and savory spices. It is a full-bodied, smooth single malt with the traditional Ardmore dry, spicy, smoky notes.Ardmore also has shares a unique connection to another rarity; the golden eagle. This eagle has a longstanding association with the brand, with rare golden eagles often seen riding the thermals above the distillery. The Ardmore fully supports protecting these birds even partnering with Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Scotland, with the reintroduction of the white-tailed eagle, a close cousin of the golden eagle.This expression prominently features the golden eagle as the center of its packaging design and bottle label. The copper foil eagle is depicted full flight, soaring over Ardmores iconic distillery. Pick up a bottle of this special single malt today!

The reason the distillery was built here, says James MacTaggart, the master distiller at Arran Distillery, was because there was a very good water supply. In fact, it was tasted and it was decided that it was probably one of the best water supplies in Scotland for making whisky.Situated on the Isle of Arran, Arran Distillery was founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, the former director at Chivas Distillery, and is one of the last remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. When the distillery was finally completed in 1995 construction was halted for nearly a year when a pair of Golden Eagles built their nest near the distillery it became the first legal distillery on the Isle of Arran in over 150 years.Arran 10 year is crafted from unpeated Scottish barley, which is malted and then fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast. Once the barley has been fermented, the wash is distilled twice first through Arrans copper-pot wash still and then again through Arrans copper-pot spirit still. The stills were custom designed, says MacTaggart, and shaped to allow the lighter vapors to come up through the stills. As a result, Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky has an appreciably softer and more delicate flavor profile.First released in 2006, this incredible 10-year flagship whisky single malt is predominantly aged in ex-bourbon barrels with a small amount of ex-sherry casks. Its lengthy list of accolades includes: Double Gold Medal winner at The San Fransisco World Spirits Competition 2018, Silver Medal Winner World Whiskies Awards 2018, The China Wine and Spirits Best Value Awards 2014, Gold Medal Winner, San Fransisco World Spirits Competition 2012.Pick up your bottle today!

Situated at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills in Western Scotland, Auchentoshan (pronounced Aw-khen-tosh-an) Distillery was founded in 1800 and is one of the last remaining Lowland malt whisky distilleries. The distillery is nicknamed "Glasgows Malt Whisky" due to its proximity to Glasgow, and its whisky is nicknamed "breakfast whisky" due to its sweet flavor and elegant texture.Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from malted, optic barley that is gently kilned and completely unpeated. The barley is milled and mashed before being fermented in wooden washbacks made from Oregon Pine. The wooden washbacks (as opposed to the stainless steel washbacks used at most distilleries) retain a portion of the heat produced during fermentation, and ultimately produce a lighter and slightly sweeter whisky.While Scotch whisky is traditionally distilled twice, Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch is copper-pot distilled three times first through a wash still, then through an intermediate still, and finally, through a spirit still. This extra step during distillation no other major distillery uses an intermediate still is both time-consuming and expensive, but it produces a 160-proof Whisky that is incredibly pure and free of impurities.After the third distillation, the Auchentoshan 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky expression is brought down to barrel proof before being matured for a minimum of 12 years, mostly in ex-bourbon barrels and a small portion of sherry casks. Bottled at 80 proof, its a lovely Lowland single malt with aromas of toasted almonds and caramelised toffee that showcases Auchentoshans signature lightness and delicate taste.Grab a bottle today!

The Aultmore distillery was founded in 1895 by Alexander Edward, then-owner of the Benrinnes distillery. Situated in Keith Banffshire, this Speyside distillery gets its name from the phrase An t-Allt Mr, which is Gaelic for big burn, referring to its water source, the Auchinderran burn.Originally powered by a waterwheel, the facility quickly evolved to incorporate a steam engine, which ran 24 hours a day for seven decades. After being expanded in 1899, and experiencing a brief meteoric rise, the distillery abruptly went bankrupt and was eventually shut down. Aultmore reopened around 1904, only to be closed down once more during World War I due to barley shortages.In 1923, after the war, Aultmore was acquired by John Dewar and Sons, it changed hands again in 1930, to Scottish Malt Distillers, then back to Dewars and Sons subsidiary Bacardi in 1998. Aultmore has a history of forward thinking and innovation, being the first to use the draff (a waste product of whisky production) to use as animal feed. After their malting floors closed in 1968, the distillery was rebuilt in 1970, and a new additional wash and spirit still were incorporated.Aultmore has large scale production -- reaching over 2 million liters per year. Their whiskies, generally being produced for blends, made single malts production fairly rare, other than the intermittent independent bottling. After experimenting with an in-house single malt offering they released their first official bottling in in 2004; a 12-year old. Since then they have released several age statement expressions, a flora and fauna release, and rare malts release. This 18-year-old Speyside single malt is aged for 18 years in American white oak casks. With its honeyed and herbaceous notes, this summery spirit won a Double Gold medal at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Bottled at 46 percent ABV.Get your bottle today!

Amidst the lush greenery, in the heart of Speyside, sits the pagodad roof of the BenRiach distillery. A facility that has been producing single malt Scotch since 1898. The area of Moray is known for its funnel shape, with the tip pointed to the source of the Spey River. Benriach sits at the very center of this funnel, just outside the town of Elgin. The story of BenRiach is one of resilience. In 1897, John Duff built the BenRiach distillery, after his early success with his Glenlossie and Longmorn distilleries. He even built a railroad in 1990, to move supplies back and forth between the two shops.The timing of his ambitious pursuits, however, proved problematic. Following the Pattison crash of 1899 and the downturn of the domestic market, BenRiach, along with many other distilleries were fated to close. The distillery had barely been operational for two years, before being made almost irrelevant for 65 years. During these 65 years, the plant remained operational solely as a malting facility for Longmorn. The two sister distilleries were essentially consolidated into a single working unit, BenRiach produced the grain, and Longmorn distilled it.But the 1960s were good to BenRiach as well as the entire industry, and the facility remained operational from 1965 onwards. In 2004 the distillery was bought out by a private entity who released a true BenRiach single malt whisky. The distillery eventually fell under the ownership of The BenRiach Distilling Co. which also took (befittingly) the Glendronach and Glenglassaugh distilleries under its umbrella.Under the guidance of former blender, Billy Walker, in 2013 the floor maltings reopened, and distillery production poured forth full throttle.The distillery was then acquired by Brown-Forman, in 2016. They now produce up to 2.8 million liters per year. Fruit defines the heart of Benriachs character, specifically, distinct notes of pears and peaches. From BenRiachs peated range this Septendecim expression gets its name from the Latin word for seventeen. This beautiful 17-year-old whisky is bottled at 46 percent abv. Septendecim is complex, with a hint of peat smoke and delicious notes of apple pie, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Get your bottle today!

The story of Benriach is one of resilience. In 1897, John Duff built the distillery after his early success with his Glenlossie and Longmorn distilleries. He even built a railroad in 1990 to move supplies back and forth between the two shops.The timing of his ambitious pursuits, however, proved problematic. Following the Pattison crash of 1899 and the downturn of the domestic market, Benriach, along with many other distilleries, were fated to close. The distillery had barely been operational for two years before being made almost irrelevant for 65 years. During these 65 years, the plant remained operational solely as a malting facility for Longmorn. The two sister distilleries were essentially consolidated into a single working unit with Benriach producing the grain and Longmorn distilling it.But the 1960s were good to Benriach as well as the entire industry, and the facility remained operational from 1965 onwards. In 2004 the distillery was bought out by a private entity who released a true Benriach single malt whisky. The distillery eventually fell under the ownership of The BenRiach Distilling Co. which also took (befittingly) the Glendronach and Glenglassaugh distilleries under its umbrella. Under the guidance of former blender Billy Walker, the floor maltings reopened in 2013, and distillery production resumed with full throttle. The distillery was acquired by Brown-Forman in 2016. They now produce up to 2.8 million liters per year. Fruit defines the heart of Benriachs character, specifically, distinct notes of pears and peaches.Its with the Benriach 21 that their range turns from 3-cask maturation to 4 casks for their older spirits. Crafted by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, this expression is a blend of peated and unpeated whisky that has spent at least 21 years in ex-bourbon, sherry, virgin oak, and Bordeaux wine casks. This mellows the gentle sweet smokiness, making it blend together with the fruity and oaky notes. The resulting profile with honeyed smoke is rich, complex, and deep, coming together beautifully balanced once the liquids are married together. "A beautiful reflection of the landscape around Benriach. A real sense of mountain oak spice, fruit, creamy malt and elegant layers of smoke," says Barrie of the single malt that is bottled at 92 proof.Get your bottle today!

BenRiach Curiositas is crafted using a heavily peated malted barley. This hearty dose of smoke is quite a rarity in the modern day Speyside heartlands, whose single malts are characterized by their unpeated, fruit-laden flavor profiles. But this was not always the case, as the original Speyside character and flavor of malts typical of the nineteenth century, tended to lean towards the peaty side, as did all Scotch Whiskies of the times. Peat reek is this Curositas main act, prominently featured in the fore whilst, the fruited notes fill the background, and oaky notes linger on the finish.It is said that 10 is the magic number when it comes to aging peated single malts. After 10 years of maturation, the Whisky achieves an optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak infusion. Curiositas is a distinctive dram, in so many ways. Full of character and depth, this single malt has quite a mature demeanor for a Whisky of its age. The expression also took Silver at the International Wine and Spirit Competition 2017.Get your bottle today!

The Grahams from Aberdeen Charles, David and Gordon had already established themselves as master tea blenders when, in 1879, they turned their attention toward another drink, this time something quintessentially Scottish in nature: whisky.Originally crafted from a blend of Scotches produced in the North East of the county, Black Bottle Blended Scotch Whisky came shrouded in the finest black glass from Germany, offering a unique look representative of the Graham Brothers industrious and entrepreneurial nature. Hand-wrapped in foil, each bottle contained the following note:If on my theme, I rightly think, there are five reasons why I drink. Good wine a friend because Im dry. Or lest I should be by-and-by. Or any other reason why.During the start of World War I, the supply of German black glass fell, and the formerly indomitable Grahams were forced to substitute green glass for their revered black glass bottles. Later in the century, the blend was changed to incorporate more Islay flavors, making the whisky smokier and less reminiscent of the Grahams original blend.Recently revitalized by Master Distiller Ian MacMillan, Black Bottle Blended Scotch Whisky has returned to its roots with a new and fantastic blend reminiscent of the Grahams original recipe. The blend, which is characteristic of a Speyside whisky, has a beautiful aroma of honeysuckle, oak, chamomile and faint smoke, and leads to a subtle palate filled with dried fruits, sweet oak, vanilla and honey. The finish is filled with nutmeg and pepper, and lingers with just a touch of smoke.The challenge was to develop a liquid that was more in line with the original character of Black Bottle while maintaining all of the quality for which the brand is renowned, says MacMillan.Now back in its original black glass bottle for the first time in nearly a century, Black Bottle Blended Scotch Whisky is a fantastic, authentic whisky at an unbelievable price.
