- Glenmorangie Lasanta
Glenmorangie’s Lasanta is aged for 12 years in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and is said to mean ‘warmth and passion’ in Gaelic. Lasanta is adored for its sherry, oak, caramel and raisin notes. It offers the sweetness of bourbon and the silkiness of a sherry.
- Dalmore 15 Year Old
Dalmore 15 Year Old is finished in different styles of sherry casks including Apostoles, Amoroso and Matusalem oloroso. It is smooth, rich and well rounded. Dalmore 15 is an award-winning Highland scotch and has been described as having “Christmas cake notes”. It has a fantastic chocolate orange scent with some winter spices and a hint of sherry, making it a strong yet beautiful spirit.
- Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old
One of the classic after-dinner malts, Balvenie Doublewood’s extra complexity and richness are a result of a second maturation in fresh sherry casks. You’ll get flavours of sweet vanilla, mango, apple and a smidgeon of orange when you sip it.
- Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Laphroaig 10 is a full-bodied, smokey jewel with a tinge of salt and a residual sweetness among the seaweedy, peaty notes before a long, warming finish. However, as you hold this over your tongue, be prepared for a sneak rush of black pepper and chilli.
- Talisker 10 Years Old
The Talisker 10 Year Old is a robust single malt whisky with a sea-salty scent, smokey sweet character, and distinctive peppery finish. Look at this whisky if you’re after Talisker’s signature smoky, peated flavours. This single malt is glossy and rich golden, like apple juice. The nose is a classic, before a wall of smoke blows in, the flavour is deeply sweet.
