Single malt whisky is a mixture of malt whisky from casks of the same distillery. Malt whisky is made from barley malt and distilled in pot stills, and has matured for at least 3 years in oak barrels. This whisky usually has a for the distillery characteristic flavor. Is considered the classic whisky.
Not as well-known as that other single malt whisky from Orkney, but definitely worth a try, as this Scapa bottling proves. The malt matured for 16 years in American oak casks, resulting in a rich dram with a vibrant and fruity profile. (48%)
Of the two Orkney distilleries, Scapa is the lesser known. Still, it doesn't hurt to take a look at their single malt whisky. Take this 16-year-old bottling, for example, with its waxy mouthfeel and complex nose. Bottled at 40% ABV.
At 64.8% cask strength, this celebratory bottling from Whiskybase (120,000 bottles in its database) from 2019 is a big boy. It's an 11-year-old, sherry-matured single malt whisky from an unnamed Speyside distillery (we're guessing Glenrothes).
It doesn't matter that the Speyside distillery has to remain a secret: the fact that the Thompson Brothers selected this single malt whisky gives us enough confidence. An excellent daily dram, matured for 11 years in 2 refill sherry casks. (48.5%)
Under the Creetown Distillers brand, Whiskybroker releases a 17-year-old Irish single malt whisky (or 'whiskey', in Irish). We don't know which distillery this malt comes from, but we do know that it matured in three bourbon casks. (41.4%)
Edition no. 9 of Rolf Kaspar's Lichtburg - Historic Series is another 21-year- old Irish single malt whisky. Just like edition no. 8 it matured in an ex-rum cask and of course this malt is also bottled at cask strength (53.5%). Highly recommended!
Smokehead is a single malt whisky brand from bottler Ian Macleod. As with the previous Smokehead bottlings, this is an anonymous peated Islay whisky. Often the age of these bottlings is unknown, but this is a malt that matured for 15 years. (43% ABV)
Smokehead is a single malt whisky brand from bottler Ian Macleod. Just like with the earlier Smokehead bottlings, this is an anonymous peated islay whisky. And the age of this bottling is also unknown. The ABV content is a solid 58%.
According to some, this Smokehead Islay single malt whisky is young Caol Ila finished in Ardbeg casks. Perhaps. In any case, this is a beautiful, uncomplicated and pleasantly drinkable dram for the smoky whisky lover. At 40%.
This rum-finished Smokehead isn't all about peat and smoke. The Islay single malt whisky bottled by Ian Macleod has depth and is complex. The rum finish provides fruity and vibrant notes. All in all a very drinkable and original combination. At 46%.
Fruity & Fierce, Spicy & Smooth' is how bottler Ian Macleod characterizes this Smokehead Blast. It is, as always, a peated Islay single malt whisky, but this one is finished in oloroso sherry casks. A full, creamy, complex, and quite smoky dram. (48%)
Smokehead is the brand under which Ian Macleod bottles anonymous, peated Islay single malt whisky. The type of cask on which the whisky matured can differ, or the alcohol percentage. But never before has a Smokehead finished on tequila casks appeared.
This Daily Dram bottling from 2016 scores over 91 points on the Whiskybase! It is a blend of Speyside single malt whiskies that matured for 40 years in a fino sherry cask. The whisky is praised for its fullness and harmonious complexity. (47.2%)
Rumour has it that this single malt whisky, released by Sansibar in 2015, is a Macallan. In any case, it is a Speyside malt that went into the (sherry) cask in 1977 and was bottled 38 years later at 46.1%. It scores over 90 points on whiskybase.com.
With Cadenhead's Enigma series, you can guess which whisky it is; the bottler doesn't specify, only mentioning the region. Okay, so this Speysider spent the last two of its 12 years maturing in an Oloroso sherry cask and is bottled at 50%.
A new Springbank 15 edition. This single malt whisky from Campbeltown aged in bourbon and sherry casks, and was bottled at 46%. Springbank whisky has its own very recognizable and appreciated character. This also applies to this nicely priced bottle.
This Springbank was released in 2016 in a limited edition. It matured for 16 years in 80% bourbon and 20% sherry casks before being bottled at cask strength (54.3%). What makes this single malt whisky really special is that it is made from local barley.
Campbeltown Distillery Springbank also occasionally does single cask bottlings. In 2017 they released this edition, especially for the Belgian market. The single malt whisky is 16 years old. It spent that time in a 'fresh' bourbon cask. Bottled at 48.1%.
This Springbank is actually too good to be a collector's item, but of course it is: the old-school single malt whisky, vintage 1969, was bottled at a cask strength of 52.8% by Signatory Vintage in 1996 after having matured for 26 years in a sherry cask.
This special bottling, released for Springbank's Virtual Open Day 2020, scored an impressive 91 points on Whiskybase. The Campbeltown single malt whisky matured for 26 years in two refill bourbon casks, yielding a total of 432 bottles at 51.1% ABV.
All of the Springbank single malt whiskies bottled by Archives got high scores. This is also the case for this 2016 bottling of a Springbank that matured for 19 years in a fresh sherry hogshead. 227 bottles came from that cask, at 54.8% cask strength.
