One of the 5 official Scottish whisky regions. Until the 19th century, mainly illegal whisky distilleries were located in this large area. Now there are about 30 distilleries that often have their own character. In the Highlands lies the Speyside which with its 50 distilleries is officially a region of its own. The Highlands also officially include a number of islands that informally form the Islands region.
In 1985, Highland distillery Glenury Royal closed permanently. Before and after, relatively few bottlings of their single malt whisky were released, but they almost always scored very high. This also applies to this 29-year-old Rare Malts edition. (57%)
Distilling since 2013 in the far north of Scotland, Wolfburn reached a new milestone with the release of their first batch of 10-year-old whisky. This whisky fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks and is bottled at 46%. Non-chill-filtered and natural color
A Glendronach with a twist, that's what you could call this 14-year-old single malt whisky. The fact that it matured in re-charred casks is not the most remarkable thing, but it is that it's finished in American new oak casks. And you can taste that! 46%
Blair Athol is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. In 2003, a 27-year-old bottling of the single malt whisky appeared in the Rare Malts Selection series. Creamy, dark fruit, marzipan, oak, flowers, and chocolate are just some of the keywords.
This 18 year old single malt whisky is one of the core bottlings of the Royal Brackla Distillery in the Highlands. The whisky is finished in Palo Cortado shery casks. That sherry influence is not overpowering, and in balance with the fruitiness of Brackla
The 18-year-old version is one of the core bottlings from Highland distillery Glencadam. The single malt whisky matured in carefully selected ex-bourbon casks. Smooth and pleasant to drink, with fruity notes and notes like vanilla and nutmeg. (46%)
Why Glendronach is known for their sherried whisky also becomes clear with this bottle, released in 2013 in Batch 3 of a series of Cask Strength bottlings. The single malt whisky matured in Oloroso and PX casks and is bottled at 54.9%.
Matured in virgin oak casks, this timeless Deanston, but with not too much of the sharpness that new oak brings to whisky. This is a light, not very complex malt with notes of vanilla, honey, spices, fresh sawdust. At 46.3%.
Tullibardine Distillery has been around for three-quarters of a century but has only been running at full capacity since 2008, including its own bottlings. But this is a Van Wees bottling. The single malt whisky aged for 15 years in a bourbon cask. (46%)
To clear up any ambiguity: Ardlair single malt whisky comes from the famous Ardmore Distillery. Released by bottler Van Wees in the The Ultimate series, this Ardlair aged for 13 years in refill sherry casks and was bottled at a hefty 63.5% cask strength.
The second Invergordon bottling from bottler Brachadair (‘Belgian roots…but Gaelic at heart’). This Invergordon single grain whisky is 33 years old. It matured all this time in a bourbon cask, a barrel. The grain was bottled in 193 bottles at 55.6%.
Without much fanfare, Ben Nevis Distillery has redesigned its labels and revamped its range of standard bottlings. This Core Leis is an example of that: an 'entry level' NAS (8 to 10 years?) single malt whisky matured in 1st-fill bourbon casks. (46%)
'Finealta' is Gaelic for 'elegant', and this 2010 bottling from Glenmorangie certainly is! The single malt whisky matured in Oloroso sherry casks and American oak casks. Creamy and full in the mouth with fruity, wood, vanilla and sherry notes. (46%)
This Glenmorangie single malt whisky belongs to the experimental Private Edition family. The 15-year-old dram partly matured in special Tuscan wine casks. This results in a whisky with notes of fruit and sweet wine, with a rich, creamy taste. (46%)
This Tomatin Single Highland Malt was bottled by the distillery in 2005 for the Italian market. The single malt whisky is 10 years old and filled at 40% ABV. A simple dram with a vintage in the last century. Always interesting.
Fresh fruit, grassy, malty, fresh, sparkling even. Those are just some of the keywords that come up when tasting this 10-year-old Highlander. A nice standard bottling from the Glencadam distillery, dating from 1825. At 46%.
[SMALL BOTTLE] Ballechin is the peated malt whisky from the Highland distillery Edradour. This 10-year-old has a strong peat and smoke aroma and an extensive palette of cask influences. This small bottle could be a nice gift!
Glenmorangie was one of the first distilleries to experiment with non-standard cask ageing. In 2017, they released this Spìos bottling as a Private Edition, a single malt whisky that had matured in casks that previously contained rye whisky. (46%)
Founded in 1797, the Glen Garioch distillery is one of the oldest in Scotland. In addition to own bottlings, there are also third-party editions of this Highland single malt whisky. Like this one that matured in a bourbon cask for almost 11 years. (58.1%)
Here's another special edition from Highland-distillery Deanston. They previously released 15-year-old bottlings that were finished in Marsala or Sauternes casks; here the single malt whisky was finished in Tequila casks. And that is quite special! 52.5%
More than seven years ago Gordon & MacPhail bottled this Ardmore single malt whisky in their Reserve series. It matured for 17 years in a refill ex-bourbon cask. This cask clearly let the distillery character unharmed (fruity, mild peat smoke). (46%)
The Morven is the peated standard bottling of the young Wolfburn distillery. Smoke is clearly but not intrusive present, in the palette. There are also notes of caramel, malt, hay and nuts and, ultimately, some fruit. Worth trying!
This Teaninich single malt whisky matured for more than 12 years, most of which in a bourbon cask, but the last year in a small cask that previously had Hungarian wine matured. Berry Bros & Rudd bottled 163 bottles of Teaninich at 55.5% from that cask.
Fettercairn works with traditional distillation equipment but uses an unorthodox technique to cool the stills, resulting in a 'lighter' spirit. The single malt whisky in this Chapter 7-bottling matured for 11 years in a bourbon cask. (51.6% cask strength)
