BEN NEVIS 7YO 2013 “SHERRY WOOD” SINGLE BUTT WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 46%
€ 37,00 VAT includedThe whisky from the only distillery in the coastal town of Fort William, with a view of the highest Scottish mountain from which it takes its name, is always very sought after. Its malty character, medium body and fresh notes of oranges are quite unmistakable and have been at the foundation of some historical blends. But this release is much more extreme in style, and all the more precious because of it. The influence of the first fill Oloroso sherry cask has resulted in a very dry whisky, with marked winey notes and an intense nose of sour red fruits (wild berries, cherries, but also peaches). At the palate, the dry character of the sherry is dominating: fragrantly fruity, but very spicy and hot, sharp like a blade.

BUNNAHABHAIN 2014-20 HEAVY PEAT WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 48%
€ 37,00 VAT includedExtremely smoky, ashy, full of maritime notes and a marked medicinal touch with a very clean and malty spirit as expected from Bunnahabhain, but at the same time it packs a touch in terms of pure 'peat power'. On the palate it is interestingly herbaceous, with rich notes of black licorice, gentian root. The finish is particularly warm, peppery and persistent, with the smokiness that reverberates for a long time after each sip.

CAOL ILA QUERCUS ALBA 2008 WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 48%
€ 47,00 VAT includedAn exciting new release stemming from our long experience with maturation. This bottling is a vatting of five casks with a finish in fist fill bourbon, and two in virgin American oak. The result is the perfect equilibrium between the salty, dry, mineral taste of classic whisky from Caol Ila and the contribution from the virgin oak, which adds a creamy, buttery, robust backbone of sweetness: it’s rich, fuller bodied and bolder than usual, with the notes of vanilla and soft tannins that are expected from this kind of barrels. The secret lies in the balance, because the lighter bourbon casks still provide a classic lively counterpart with their intensely smoky and sharp notes of the sea. This is still Islay… but with a new sweeter twist.

GLEN MORAY 2007 SHERRY FINISH OLOROSO WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 48%
€ 41,00 VAT includedThe delicate whisky from this distillery in Speyside, usually very light in body and known for its flowery and honeyed touch, has received an extra layer of fruity richness thanks to a finish of twenty months in second fill sherry casks. Only slightly winey, it has developed notes of ripe peaches, apricots, red apples, and it has reached a fine balance between malty and fruity sweetness, and the drier and spicier notes from the sherry. It still maintains a gentle mouthfeel, but with an unexpected blast of pepper in the end, and even a slight quizzical whiff of farmy aromas: damp pastures, leather, horse stables. Fragrant, very easy and caressing, but with a punchy twist.
