ARDBEG 10 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 70 cl / 46% ScotlandArdbeg 10 years is one of the most famous single malts and is an absolute must for every fan of Islay. No whiskey embodies the mystical character of the island better than Ardbeg with its particularly high peat content. On the rugged banks of the southern part of Islay is the distillery Ardbeg. She prides herself on her private source - the water used by Loch Uigeadail is soft and pure. Nose: Smoky, salt water, iodine-like dryness Taste: Its balanced and deep aroma is characterized by a bewitching blend of caramel, sweet chocolate, cinnamon and phenolic notes. After initial sweetness, intense peat notes quickly develop with hints of tobacco smoke and espresso. Finish: Strong, with lots of iodineThe distillery Ardbeg was founded in 1815, where previously Schwarzbrenner had done their work. In 1817, two years after its founding, it passed into the family estate of the McDougall family and was not handed over to Hiram Walker as a new owner until 1977. This closed the distillery 4 years later. In 1989, thanks to the new owner Allied, it went into operation for a further 7 years, but without malting. Glenmorangie plc saved the jewel in 1997, had the building renovated and then went back into production. Fortunately, the change in ownership of Glenmorangie to Moët Hennessy has not yet had a major impact, except for management changes on the top carpet level.

Extremely complex single highland malt. First 12 years in American oak, then aged 6 months in former sherry casks. Full, round body with a large, lasting finish. The distillery Balvenie was built in 1892 by William Grants and his sons. Even today, the distillery, together with Glenfiddich and Kininvie is owned by the family William Grant & Sons. The name derives from the nearby Balvenie Castle. The New Balvenie Castle, a former manor house, served as a stone supplier for the construction of the distillery. Incidentally, the first stills were purchased second-hand from Lagavulin and Glen Albyn. Today, the distillery has 8 stills with the so-called Balevenie bubble, a balloon between the neck and the still. Today, there are several other distilleries, which also have a similar form of stills. Through the same owner and their proximity to Glenfiddich certain synergies are used. So Balvenie uses the waste heat from Glenfiddich for heating the stills. Also, both use the same source (Robbie Dubh), whose peculiarity is that William Grant at that time bought all the land around up to the two distilleries to make sure that nothing happens to the water or is dried up or polluted by building projects. The family is still very proud of it today. David Stewart, the "boss of the house," as he likes to be called, was the first to put the finishing touch into action, setting in motion a trend that continues today.

Launched in 2013, Talisker Port Ruighe follows the trend of not having an age statement. For many a whiskey drinker that is a thorn in the side, because he fears that it is a younger, less high quality distillate, which is marketed as a sophisticated oldie.

AUCHENTOSHAN Three Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl / 43 % Schottland Scottish whiskeys are traditionally divided into Highland and Lowland whiskeys. The birthplace of the Auchentoshan Three Wood north of Glasglow is geographically part of the Central Lowlands and is virtually at the transition from low to highlands. Like many other Scottish whiskey distilleries, Auchentoshan Distillery has undergone numerous changes of ownership. It was founded in 1823, with some experts assume that it emerged from the founded in 1800 Duntocher Distillery. The truly special thing about the manufacturing process is the triple distillation that all single malt Scotch whiskeys of this brand go through. In fact, the spirits are the only Scottish single malts that are distilled three times. During this process the alcohol content of the liquid increases from 8% to 81%. As a result, the fruit and citrus notes and later also the woody aroma of the oak barrels are more effective. The multi-award winning Auchentoshan Three Wood has its name not by chance: It matured first in American bourbon barrels, then in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and then in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. After ten years of storage, the Auchentoshan Three Wood is finally bottled at a drinking strength of 43% in 70cl bottles.
