KIZAKURA HANAKIZAKURA JUNMAI GINJO – 720ML

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.

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.

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.

This lip-smacking 12yo AnCnoc (formerly Knockdhu) is a top-quality proponent of the non-sherried Speyside style, showing polished malt and a delicious spiciness throughout a warm, complex palate and lasting finish.
