An elegant nose, faintly sweet, scented with apple and wood. Glenfiddich 18 year old is a robust and full-bodied single malt whisky, yet remains remarkably soft, rounded and long lasting.

A fruity and spicy release from Aberlour, this 16 year old has been matured in a combination of sherry butts and first-fill bourbon casks. Jim Murray scored it 94.5/100 in his 2015 Whisky Bible, describing it as 'a malt of unbridled magnificence'.

A creamy and buttery Tamdhu from Hunter Laing as part of the First Editions series. Distilled in 1998 and aged for 18 years, this has notes of toffee, clotted cream and gentle herbs.

A 1995 vintage Glen Grant bottled at 21 years of age by Signatory. Distilled on 31 May, matured in a pair of bourbon barrels and bottled at cask strength on 18 April 2017, part of a batch of only 384.

Tormore is one of the most beautiful Speyside distilleries, with hedges in the shape of stills outside. We have chosen this single refill bourbon barrel from 1996 – and what a whisky. Big, rich and spicy, this is packed with notes of chocolate, Christmas spices and fresh orange.

SPEY Byron's Choice has been released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Lord Byron's marriage to Anne Isabella Milbanke on 2 January 1815. Aged in port casks, this is sweet and fruity with a toffee aftertaste.

Another fantastic invention from the workbench of Balvenie Malt Master David Stewart – a 17-year-old version of the bestselling DoubleWood. Still initially matured in 'whisky oak' casks before being switched to sherry wood to finish, the extra years give it extra depth without being overpowering.
