CAOL ILA QUERCUS ALBA 2008 WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 48%
€ 47,00 VAT included
An 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.

Pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal’, it’s a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Ardbeg Uigeadail was voted by the 120,000+ strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg.

BEN NEVIS 7YO 2013 “SHERRY WOOD” SINGLE BUTT WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 46%
€ 37,00 VAT includedRead moreThe 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.
