The 2017 relaunch of one of our all-time favorites, this has to be one of the most consistently excellent malt whiskies of the past 10 years. Showered with awards and praise from all quarters, it was named as ‘Best Spirit in the World’ by F Paul Pacult of the Spirit Journal. Unfailingly excellent, especially after a good meal.

Pacult wrote: ‘After 25 years’ experience, it fits my profile of what makes a perfect whiskey, which is to say it’s totally in harmony, there are no rough edges and everything is melded together brilliantly.’
