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.

LAPHROAIG 10 YO SCOTCH WHISKY 70CL 40%
€ 49,00 VAT includedThe 10 year is the original Laphroaig, because it is distilled in the same way as when Ian Hunter invented it over 75 years ago. It is the foundation of all other Laphroaig expressions.
During preparation, the malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on the island of Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavor.
Those enjoying the 10 year old Laphroaig will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variation is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and has a lingering finish.
In 2019 this whisky was also named best Scotch Single Malt of at least 10 years by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. -
