The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is known for its unusual and often experimental bottlings. With the Tormore 2011, matured for 12 years and a proud 66.8% ABV, the SMWS has ventured into a powerful yet playful bourbon cask experience. The sonorous name ‘Spiced Vanilla Chai Cake’ raises expectations of a sweet, spicy and deeply layered world of flavours.
The Auchroisk 2010/2023, matured for 12 years and bottled by the independent bottler Sansibar, is a single malt whisky from Speyside that demands attention. With a strong alcohol content of 60.80 % ABV, it brings a strong presence to the glass, but will not suit all tastes.
Located in the picturesque Five-Lakes region of the Starnberg district, the HeiligenBergFeld Distillery was established in 2017 and has since specialized in single cask bottlings. The HeiligenBergFeld 2020/2023, bottled at 57.9% ABV, matured for three years in a Pedro-Ximénez sherry cask, offering a glimpse into the burgeoning craftsmanship of this Bavarian distillery.
Malts of Scotland is known for its bold and characterful releases, and this one is no exception: a Craigellachie at 61.2% ABV, straight from the cask, unfiltered and untouched. After 11 years in the cask, this Speyside whisky has turned into a true sherry bomb.
Indian whisky? This is no longer an insider tip. But when a whisky from Goa first matures for four years in bourbon barrels under tropical heat and then rests for another two years in a fine Ratafia Champenois barrel in France, things get exciting!
When it comes to Islay whiskies, there are two types of people: Those who love the intense smoke, and those who wonder if their glass has been matured in a bonfire. The Lagavulin 2024 11 Years Offerman 4th Edition is aimed at the former - those who see the scent of cold smoke and salty sea breeze as an invitation rather than a warning. This fourth collaboration between Nick Offerman and Lagavulin promises a typical Islay malt with a touch of originality.
Exhumation – Chapter II by St. Kilian is a homage to the mystical side of metal. This four-years German single malt was initially aged in fresh Palatinate oak casks, followed by two more years in small 30-liter casks – including ex-rum, ex-bourbon, and fresh oak casks – underground in the Odenwald. The result is an intense whisky characterized by fruity, spicy, and earthy aromas, along with a hint of dark peat smoke.
The A Dream of Scotland series by Brühler Whiskyhaus stands for independent bottlings with distinctive character. This 14-years Port Charlotte from the Bruichladdich distillery, bottled at a robust cask strength, promises an intense tasting experience rooted in Islay's unique spirit. Is this whisky another highlight of the series?
Glenturret is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, known for its traditionally crafted whisky. With the Triple Wood Release 2024, the distillery relies on a combination of different cask types to create an interesting complexity. Without an age statement but bottled at 44% ABV, this whisky promises a balanced mix of fruit, spice, and oak notes.
Previously known as "Platinum," the Johnnie Walker 18 Years now carries only its age statement. The content remains unchanged: a premium-positioned blended Scotch whisky designed for broad appeal.
Nc'Nean makes it exciting again! With the Huntress series, the innovative Highland distillery is exploring bold new paths in the world of whisky. The Huntress 2019/2024 Orchard Cobbler relies on a special fermentation process: Long Maturation Recipe, no mash rest, only one type of yeast - and all in a blend of 66% STR casks, bourbon and a touch of sherry (3%, to be precise - so just enough to feel important).
The ‘A Collection of Curious Casks’ series is proof of the Balvenie Distillery's innovative strength and craftsmanship. It offers whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to discover unusual and limited bottlings that are off the beaten track. We take a closer look at the 14-years Balvenie from the American Bourbon barrel.
