The Scottish Speyside is known for its diverse and complex whiskies, but the Craigellachie 2013/2024 Margaux Cask sets new standards.

Nikka The Grain Whisky was an exciting new release from Japan that is making whisky fans around the world sit up and take notice. This experimental special edition, which was launched in 2023, is a blend of seven different whiskies and, at 48% ABV, offers a powerful yet smooth flavour journey.
Anyone wanting to enter the world of Japanese whisky should have the Yoichi single malt on their list. The Yoichi Distillery on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, produces this whisky using a particularly exciting technique: it is still distilled in the traditional way, directly over a coal fire! This not only gives the Yoichi single malt its unmistakable character, but also a certain ‘campfire’ flavour - with a moderate smoke content of around 15 ppm.
The Four Roses Single Barrel is a bourbon that presents whisky lovers with an interesting challenge. With no age statement, but matured for at least seven years in freshly charred American oak barrels, this whisky has a remarkable depth. With an alcohol content of 50% by volume, it immediately shows that it is aimed more at connoisseurs who prefer stronger, spicier bourbon notes.
The Glen Moray 19 Years from Malts of Scotland is a drop that falls into the category of intense single malts with its 54.8% vol. Matured in a sherry hogshead from 1998 to 2017, this whisky promises a multi-faceted experience. We are excited!
An unusual whisky is born near the traditional Scheibel Mühle, an old grain warehouse in the heart of the Black Forest: Emill Kraftwerk. This German whisky with no age statement comes from a small distillery that boldly ventures into unusual flavours and a strong bottling of 58.7 % vol. For newcomers to the world of whisky, this drop gives an insight into the experimental side of German distilleries.
The Glenlivet distillery engages in a fierce battle year after year with Glenfiddich for the crown of the best-selling Single Malt Scotch. Especially in the USA, The Glenlivet enjoys extremely high popularity. The distillery in Scotland's Speyside region is owned by Pernod Ricard and is therefore also included in their blend products such as Chivas Regal. Today, we have the Glenlivet 12 - arguably the most prolific bottling from the core range - in our glass.
The Lindores MCDXCIV (1494) is a single malt with no age statement, bottled at a strong 46% vol. and comes from the up-and-coming Lindores Abbey Distillery. The distillery, known for its love of experimentation, uses an interesting combination of cask types for this whisky: Bourbon, sherry and wine barrique casks provide an exciting spectrum of flavours that arouses curiosity.
As part of the release in early May 2024, St. Kilian presented two different single cask bottlings that stand out for their special focus on smokiness and peatiness. For the Turf Tail Distiller’s Cut, only the spirit from a very specific point in the distillation process is used. According to their own statements, it is the last 250 liters of the heart of the second distillation. They say that at this temperature, the smoky character of the single malt develops particularly intensely. Let’s see how we like this exciting and experimental bottling.
The name Timorous Beastie may sound like a shy little mouse, but this whisky has it all. Inspired by Robert Burns' poem “To a Mouse”, this Highland malt is an ode to the Scottish Highlands - but not quite as intimidating as the name might suggest. With 46.8 % vol. and no age statement, it brings quite a bit of character to the table, but is it really a highlight or more of a moody mouse? Let's take a closer look.
The St. Kilian Signature Edition 4 is a German whisky that has already found some fans with its 48% vol. and three-year maturation period. This edition is one of the early signature bottlings from the St. Kilian distillery and proudly bears the white ‘Peat’ label.
