Whisky

This Glenfiddich was allowed to mature in French wine casks in which Canadian ice wine from the Niagara region had previously been stored. After its release, the bottle was quickly sold out; only a few bottles strayed into Germany.

The Ben Nevis First Fill PX Quarter Casks is part of the Best Dram series from Michel Reick, the whisky ambassador at Kirsch Import. As an independent bottler, Reick selects his best drams personally and locally in Scotland's whisky regions and bottles them as single casks at natural cask strength, neither chill-filtered nor coloured. This Ben Nevis single malt whisky was distilled in 2015 and matured entirely in a first-fill Pedro Ximenez Quarter Cask. Due to the smaller cask size, the liquid has more contact with the wood of the cask and matures more intensively. Michel Reick is also known for his other series Scotch Universe, The Whisky Druid and The Old Friend series and is a true great in the whisky industry.

Rarely are there bottlings from this distillery. The distillery was closed in 1983 and later demolished. The independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail fills this gap with this bottling. With 43% vol. a little stronger than one is used to from G&M in the past.

This Royal Brackla single malt whisky matured for 25 years in oak and bourbon casks and was finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The finish gives the fruity, spicy malt subtle hints of fruit and a hint of chocolate with a little coffee. The bottling expands the Royal Brackla standard range and is bottled at 46% vol. and is neither chill-filtered nor coloured. The whisky is presented particularly skilfully in the usual slim bottle thanks to the elegant outer packaging. The Royal Brackla distillery received its first Royal Warrant from King William IV in 1833, the first time a whisky had been honoured in this way. Just five years later, the honour was renewed by his niece, Queen Victoria.

This bottling is one of the best from the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. An ancient Macallan from sherry casks! Already the dark shimmering colour shows the strong influence of the Oloroso sherry casks.

Edradour is one of the smallest producing distilleries in Scotland. Edradour produces only as much malt whisky in the whole year as large distilleries produce in a single week. Edradour is a very intense Single Malt with a clear sherry cask influence.
