CORTON CHARLEMAGNE BONNEAU DU MARTRAY 1994 – 750ML

On the nose the Wee Beastie is recognisably an Ardbeg creation, meaty with fresh notes of sea and smoke, a second sniff giving black pepper and coffee. The palate is rich with plenty of bacon, chocolate and aniseed notes, followed by an incredibly long finish where the peat smoke shines through. This is a delicious addition to the Ardbeg range, but don’t just take it from us. Even brand new, it is picking up prestigious accolades, winning Best Single Malt Scotch under 10 years old at the International Whisky Competition.

The mature, deep, spicy one: a deeper Sherry influence adds more spiciness and a liquorice tang. Greater age adds body and develops the distinctive fruitiness to a rich raisin. Initial notes of soft apricot and cream are offset by developing flavours of blackcurrant jam and sweet oak with a touch of honey.

Auchentoshan is the only Triple Distilled Single Malt In Scotland. The new spirit is the highest distillate of any single malt distillery in Scotland with all the impurities in the liquid distilled away and as such, makes Auchentoshan the smoothest, most delicate tasting single malt scotch whisky.

The 12 year old is triple distilled then matured for over twelve years. This Lowland Single Malt Whisky has the tempting aroma of toasted almonds, caramelised toffee and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.

Aberfeldy 12 Years Old is fragrant with notes of incense, nutmeg, heather and scented honey with a fruity softness. It is redolent of cherry, pineapple, toast and raspberry jam. It has very light smokiness and a touch of sherry.

The 12 year-old expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s raw spirit is deftly softened by double cask maturation. Traditional oak and seasoned Sherry butts are both used to great effect, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour. Soft and rounded, with fruity notes of red apple. A fine sherried character, balanced with rich chocolate, toffee, cinnamon and ginger spiciness. Warming and lingering, sweet and slightly spicy.
