🥃 The Tasting Lineup – 6 x 15ml Pours
Glendronach 12 Year Old
Rich, sherried, and unmistakably classic. Expect layers of dark fruit, warm spice, and a velvety sweetness driven by Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks. A perfect introduction to traditional Highland style.
Glendronach Ode to the Embers
A darker, more mysterious take on Glendronach. Subtle smoke weaves through notes of charred oak, cocoa, and stewed fruits, delivering a brooding, fireside dram with real depth.
Benriach 12 Year Old
Beautifully balanced and fruit-forward. Orchard fruits, honey, and toasted oak come together with a gentle spice, showcasing the lighter, more elegant side of Speyside whisky.
Benriach Smoke Season
A bold, peat-forward release that leans into intensity while keeping Benriach’s signature fruit character intact. Expect waves of sweet smoke, grilled citrus, and toasted oak, layered with hints of vanilla and spice, powerful yet balanced, and built for those who enjoy a bigger, smokier dram.
Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old
Coastal and vibrant. Think sea air, citrus, and tropical fruit, backed by creamy vanilla and soft oak. A refreshing and slightly saline dram that stands apart from inland styles.
Glenglassaugh Portsoy
Bold, maritime, and lightly peated. Dark berries, smoked malt, and coastal minerality combine for a whisky that feels both rugged and refined, a true reflection of its seaside origins.
