Known in Europe as "Dimple Haig", or just "Dimple", its taste is smooth and mellow onthe palate, with a delicate hint of smoke.

Tasting Notes Colour: Full Amber Nose: Robust, chunky aromas. Chocolate, toffee, sherry, vanilla and lemon sherbet. Flavour: Smooth, mellow and rounded. Milk chocolate, treacle toffee, pears, green apples and lots of sweet vanilla. Finish: Some heavier fruity notes emerge, and lots of creamy notes coming through. Comment: A very creamy whisky with a lot fruity toffee notes.

"Sweet honeyed herb, spice and dried fruit aromas are vibrant and inviting and faintly potpourri-like. A round entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body of cinnamon and herbal bark, dried peach, tangerine peel, and delicate buckwheat honey flavors. Finishes with crisp spicy fade. A very nice vermouth for enjoyment on the rocks or brightening up a martini. For fans of Lillet."

Introduced initially as a Macallan-Laphroaig bottling from selected single casks of each (which we believe will continue as a “regular” bottling), we have continued the process with selected single casks from different distilleries. That has been an intriguing and distinctly fun process, whereby we have sampled and approved different casks then married/vatted them with different distillery Malts. That process has developed to a point where we are also offering Ardbeg/Glen Rothes and Bowmore/Highland Park fusions. Whether you call this a vatted Malt or a blend of Malts – we have brought together in each of these DOUBLE BARREL selections some truly individual and unique character of nose, palate and finish, all left unchill filtered at 46% alc vol. We currently have the Highland Park / Bowmore Double Barrel in stock.

"Bright light copper color. Sweet fig, burnt sugar, dried flowers, and peppery spice aromas are complex and inviting. A rich, vibrant entry leads to a robust full-bodied palate of sweet dried fruits, warm chocolate, dark caramel, lavish brown spice, butter roasted nuts and cedar flavors. Finishes with a long, complex fade of fruit, spice, and smoky minerals. Amazingly complex and deep."

"Created from fresh Charentes grape must to which Cognac has been added before it could ferment. The connoisseur will be charmed with the duality of its strength and fruity smoothness. Pineau des Charentes, its rich, fruity flavor is right for any occasion."
