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'.

The third annual release of Loch Gorm, Kilchoman's sherry-cask-matured expression. Building on the previous releases, this edition has some spirit matured in sherry hogsheads, as well as the usual oloroso butts. Bottled at around five years of age, it's an intensely smoky and sherried whisky, but carefully balances the peat and fruit.

The cask-strength edition of Old Deer – the unpeated release from Switzerland's Langatun distillery. The high ABV has been tempered by the use of triple distillation. Matured in a combination of Chardonnay and sherry casks, this is a malty style of whisky.

Selected by The Whisky Exchange, this 2004 Ledaig was aged in a refill-sherry hogshead for 11 years. This peated whisky from the Isle of Mull has notes of apple, banana, chocolate and bonfire smoke.

Continuing the run of impressive cask strength bottlings, this edition from Amrut clocks in at a pokey 61.8% and promises their usual balance of spice and fruit.

This 2003 vintage Distillers Edition from Glenkinchie has been finished in Amontillado sherry casks for an extra burst of rounded flavour. This was aged for more than a decade before being bottled in 2015.

Laphroaig Lore is a 2016 addition to the distillery's range. Made up of whiskies aged in a combination of quarter casks, sherry casks and reused peated casks. This is rich and classically peaty with a spicy chili bite and a long, sweet aftertaste.

As a replacement for the much-loved 1990 Airigh nam Beist, Ardbeg Corryvreckan had some pretty big shoes to fill, but the good news is that this is a belter, winning World's Best Single Malt Whisky at the World Whisky Awards 2010 and Best No Age Statement Scotch from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
