The Beast of Dufftown returns... Our first release from this iconic distillery in over a decade has been well worth the wait. Refill bourbon wood gives a fascinating insight into the very particular spirit character produced at Mortlach. “Agricultural” is a description you won’t often find in a whisky’s marketing, however, it rather neatly and vividly summarises the rugged nature of this wonderful dram.
⭐ Glen Spey 2009
🥃 Finished in 1st Fill Cognac Barrique
Characterised as “flawless” prior to re-rack. Rather than mask any harsh or unwanted character, this hogshead was finished for more than 11 months in a French Limousin oak barrique, that previously held Cognac for 5 years, to build layers of fruit flavour and texture upon the light, grassy Glen Spey spirit.
FANTASTIC
Popped in on a quick trip back home the guy serving us was knowledgeable in everything we asked and nothing was too much trouble. There was 3 in our group and we all came away with something. Thank you your service was fantastic and very welcoming.

⭐ Benriach 2014
🥃 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel
Raspberry makes an unexpected appearance in the aroma of this Benriach, fully matured in a 1st fill bourbon barrel. Rich, evocative and redolent of a vibrant summer carnival, this is the 3rd release in a parcel of sister casks that continues to evolve and surprise.
