After sampling this vast range of casks, Billy was keen to showcase GlenAllachie bottled at natural strength. This GlenAllachie 10-year-old Cask Strength Batch 1 is a limited edition drawn from a variety of casks, including first-fill bourbon, virgin oak, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.

When Walker retired from the store in the 1850s, whisky sales represented just 8% of the store's business.Read More
In 1857, Alexander Walker — Johnnie Walker's eldest son — inherited the store and began improving its selection of single malt Scotch whiskies. In addition, Alexander had apprenticed with a tea merchant in Glasgow and there, had learned the art of blending tea. Under his stewardship, the House of Walker began blending whisky and bottling it in an iconic, square bottle adorned with a slanted label. By the time Alexander Walker retired in the 1880s, whisky sales represented over 95% of the store's business.
Johnnie Walker Double Black was created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge as a darker, smokier interpretation of the world famous Johnnie Walker Black Label.

Glen Moray was born as West Brewery run by Robert Thorne & Sons. It was converted into a Whisky distillery in 1897. From the very start, quality has been job one. The dedication and "authenticity" of Glen Moray’s Single Malt production is just about as good as it gets — changing very little over their 120 years of production on the same spot. The distillery sits on the banks of River Lossie in the Royal Burgh of Elgin — the historic capital of Speyside — and the road into town passes directly through the distillery grounds. Today they are owned by French Spirits company La Martiniquaise and all of the production goes into their range of fine Single Malts.
In its first life, Glen Moray was the Elgin West Brewery, until the end of the 19th century, when the brewery was reincarnated as the iconic Speyside distillery. Glen Moray was founded by Robert Thorne & Sons. Situated on the banks of River Lossie, in the Royal Burgh of Elgin, the first spirit dropped from the copper pot stills on the 13th of September 1897. There have only been five Master Distillers since then, which is a testament to their authenticity, and reputation for producing consistent, quality spirit. This pristine craftsmanship has been passed down through generations.
With over a century of tradition, not much has changed at the iconic Speyside distillery. They continue to mature their whiskies in a wide array of casks, a technique which was once a rarity. Their whisky ages onsite in casks ranging from sherry and chardonnay to port, yielding an impressive spectrum of aromas and flavors.
After a brief pause in production during WWII, Glen Moray revamped their facilities and expanded, and the distillery is currently owned by French spirits company La Martiniquaise. Graham Coull is the fifth master distiller at Glen Moray. At the helm of the operation, he oversees all of the production that goes into their signature core range, featuring nine single malts.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made using barley sourced from Crisp Maltings, Portgordon (Portgordon is a village in Moray, Scotland). After the barley has been malted and mashed, it is fermented in wooden washbacks for approximately two days. The wooden washbacks used by Glenlivet are more difficult and expensive to maintain as compared to the stainless steel washbacks used by most Scottish distilleries, but impart a distinctive, floral quality to the whisky.Read More
Following distillation, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky — part of Glenlivet’s Classic Range — is matured in a mixture of cask types, including American Oak and European Oak. In particular, the American Oak lends the whisky its vanilla character and distinct smoothness, while the 12 years spent inside both barrels gives the whisky aromas of honeysuckle and summertimes fruits, along with notes of fresh pineapple and bitter cocoa on the palate. The whisky has a rich, creamy finish filled with lasting touches of hazelnuts and marzipan.
Paul Pacult called The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, "one of Speyside’s definitive malts."

Chivas Regal Ultis Scotch Whisky
Proof80 (40% ABV)Size750mLChivas Regal traces its roots back to 1801, when Chivas Brothers was established as an upscale grocery store in the Scottish town of Aberdeen. In addition to selling high-end food, coffee and spices, the store offered French brandies and Caribbean rums to its wealthy clientele. Widely considered the finest purveyors in all of Scotland, in 1843 Chivas Brothers was granted a royal warrant to provide goods to Queen Victoria.Read More
James and John Chivas, who joined the family business in the mid-19th century, noticed a growing demand among their affluent customers for a smoother whisky. Unsatisfied with the products currently available on the market, James and John began experimenting with their own proprietary blends, quickly building a reputation as pioneers in the art of whisky blending. The duo released their first blend, Royal Glen Dee, in the 1850s, followed shortly thereafter by Royal Strathythan, each providing a springboard for future Chivas Regal creations.
Today, Chivas Regal calls Strathisla Distillery in Speyside, Scotland its home. There, Master Distiller Colin Scott, who has over 40 years experience in the industry, continues the Chivas Brothers tradition which began nearly two centuries ago. To create Chivas Regal's signature smoothness, Scott blends single malt whisky produced at the Strathisla Distillery with dozens of other single malts, ultimately producing a scotch that is greater than the sum of its parts.
"To first become a Chivas Regal blender, you have to spend time with your master blender and many whiskies to understand our unique style of blending," Scott says. "Each Chivas Brother blender forms part of a chain, which stretches right back to the creation of James and John Chivas' first luxury blended whisky."
Created in honor of five generations of Master Blenders, Chivas Ultis represents the heart and soul of Chivas Regal. It’s the first blended malt Scotch whisky from the House of Chivas Regal. Chivas Ultis contains five precious signature single malts, each one hand-selected from five Speyside distilleries. Less than 1% of Chivas’ entire inventory of whisky was selected to make this exquisite blend, representing the essence of the House of Chivas Regal.
Chivas Ultis has an aroma bursting with ripe peach and soft red apples, followed by notes of strawberry jam, cinnamon, fudge and honey. The smooth palate fills the mouth with luxurious milk chocolate, echoing the nose with flavors of clementine, orange, and peach layered over a foundation of soft caramel and spicy cloves that leads to a long and sweet finish.

Dimple Pinch 15 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
Showcasing over 300 years of distilling and blending heritage, Dimple Pinch 15 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is a subtle blend of 15-year-old whiskies, bottled in a unique dimpled bottle. This special dram was a favorite of Felix Leiter, James Bond's best friend in the famous Ian Fleming’s books. Distilled in Cameronbridge, it’s aged in ex-bourbon oak casks to deliver its signature taste. The silky-smooth palate begins with warm malty flavors and burnt oak, followed by an earthy finish with notes of peat, sea salt, and burnt caramel.Read More
The story of Haig Club goes back to 1627, when Robert Haig began distilling in Scotland, however it wasn’t until almost two centuries later that John Haig established the Cameronbridge distillery. A firm believer in progress, John Haig installed at the distillery what at the time was almost unheard-of technology: continuous column stills that set out his vision for quality blends through innovation, new technology and creativity. Cameronbridge became the first distillery to produce grain whisky using the column still method invented by John's cousin Robert Stein, laying the foundations for the growth and success of the modern Scotch Whisky industry. In 1865, John and eight other grain distillers formed an alliance, and in 1877 Distillers Company Limited (DCL) was formally established. Through time DCL evolved into Diageo, the world's largest spirits company.
Today, Cameronbridge is the largest grain distillery in Europe and Diageo’s only wholly-owned grain plant. Staying true to its 200 years of distilling tradition to sit at the very forefront of technical expertise and skill, the distillery takes a 21st Century approach to distilling. Cameronbridge recycles all the by-products from the distillation process (grain water and yeast) to produce enough power to run itself. Its custom-made stills run continuously 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Compass Box Vellichor Scotch Whisky
Proof89.2 (44.6% ABV)Size750mLSince its inception in 2000, Compass Box Whisky Company has been stewarded by John Glaser, one of the most progressive and innovative whisky blenders of his generation. "Like a winemaker blending grape varieties, we can create layers of complexity by blending whisky," says Glaser, who was named "Innovator of the Year" four times by Whisky Magazine and "Pioneer of the Year" twice by Malt Advocate. While Glaser initially began his career in the industry as a marketing agent, he quickly realized that by blending quality whiskies, he was able to create a product that was greater than the sum of its rare parts.Read More
Compass Box is a unique blend of grain Scotch whisky. Nearly a century ago, grain whiskies were common across Europe, but were overtaken in terms of popularity when the larger distilleries in Scotland began focusing on single malt whisky. "When good Scotch grain whisky is aged in good quality American oak casks, the results can be stunning," says Glaser. They are strong advocates for quality cask selection. They use only whiskies in their blends that are aged in first-fill American oak casks which tend to yield more vanilla character, richness, and sweetness than the traditionally used casks in Scotch maturation. They also use a high malt content, differentiating themselves from most Scotch whisky producers.
Vellichor is a part of their Limited Edition lineup of whiskies based on rare and hard-to-find whiskies. It's here that you'll find some of their most creative expressions. "Vellichor" is a neologism that is used for the nostalgic scent of second-hand bookstores. Crafted by Lead Whisky maker James Saxon, the blend is built around two parcels of Speyside Scotch that were partly matured in sherry casks and more than 20 years of age. The rest of the components come from Highland Park, The Macallan, and Caol Ila. The whisky is bottled at 89.2 proof without chill-filtration and added color. The release is limited to 3,246 bottles.
