Dad’s Hat Pennsylvania Rye<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"DAD'S<\/p>\n

A Pennsylvanian rye at full expression can be characterised by a perfect balance between rye and malted barley, weathered oak barrels and new barrels, mellowness and complexity. The spices lent by the rye jazz up this mellow, rounded Dad\u2019s Hat Pennsylvani<\/p>\n

For the big-hearted man behind your dad<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Epicurean – Douglas Laing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"THE<\/p>\n

An interesting addition to the \u00ab\u00a0Regional Remarkable\u00a0Malt \u00bb range, The Epicurean is based around single malts from the most renowned lowlands distilleries. Conveying pleasure and enjoyment, Epicurean, is both generous and grainy. Labeled with the effigy of a gentleman famous for organizing sumptuous festivities happening in Glasgow during the 30\u2019, the epicurean is easy to recognize.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the impetuous daddy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Caol Ila 2008 5 years old – Artist range<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"CAOL<\/p>\n

Excessive from start to finish, this version of Caol Ila does not deal in half-measures. This is instantly apparent, not only in its peaty, smoky register, but also in the animal, marine, fruity, spicy, medicinal and herbal notes that bring enormous variation to this whisky\u2019s aroma and flavour palette. Devoted to the high seas, it is only the tides that eventually bring this ship back to port, its hold brimming with treasure.<\/p>\n

Profile: the nose is powerful, offering a very liquoricey, milky peat. As it breathes, notes of cured meat and stables evolve, highlighting its animal character. On the palate, waves of fruit (peaches and apricots) infiltrate the peat, iodine, sea spray and spices.<\/p>\n

\"BOWMORE<\/p>\n

Third and last release of Bowmore\u2019s Devil\u2019s Cask, this edition combines characteristics of the the previous two. This has been matured in both Pedro Xim\u00e9nez and oloroso sherry casks conveying delicious aromas of melted chocolate, toffee and dates. The story behind the name says that Bowmore\u2019s angry mob chased the devil out of Islay, to escape he hid in a Bowmore cask heading to mainland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the wine lover<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Arran Malt\u00a0– Sauternes Finish<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Copper Dog – blended malt<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

For the beer-lover<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Glenfiddich IPA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"GLENFIDDICH<\/p>\n

Glenfiddich\u2019s malt master Brian Kinsman teamed up with Speyside Craft brewery to produce the first single malt Scotch whisky finished in IPA craft beer casks. First the partners had to create a new IPA craft beer that would go well with Glenfiddich. Matured in oak casks the beer imbued the wood of its hoppy flavours. The casks having previously held a bold Speyside IPA, are then filled with Glenfiddich single malt. The Glenfiddich IPA combines a fruity profile typical of Glenfiddich with zesty citrus and tangy hops from IPA cask finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
