Loch Gorm is the name given to our annual sherry matured limited edition.  Named after Islay’s largest freshwater loch neighbouring the distillery, the dark murky colour of the loch’s water is reflected in the rich coppery tones of our sherry matured Loch Gorm release.

AWARDS
International Spirits Challenge – Gold

For the 2023 Edition Anthony and Robin selected a total of 22 casks, 8 distilled in 2013, 6 distilled in 2014, and 8 distilled in 2015.

NOSE: Hints of cacao with an essence of leather, black cherry and light smoke.

PALATE: Roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate and roasted dark fruits give way to light ashy peat smoke.

FINISH: Balanced and long with fresh Islay sea breeze.

OLOROSO SHERRY CASKS

Loch Gorm is exclusively matured in oloroso sherry casks from the renowned bodega, Jose Miguel Martin. It is common for distilleries to use a variety of sherry producers but for our consistent quality and character, it is vital that we source them all from just one bodega. We select a combination of sherry butts and hogsheads from Jose Miguel Martin that provides two separate styles of maturation.

These ex-oloroso sherry casks impart a combination of heavy sherry notes, spicy dark chocolate, rich fruits and burnt sugar. This balances beautifully with the Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus fruits found within our farm crafted spirit.

Time, combined with the distiller's skills, has worked its magic. Three ingredients - water, malted barley, and yeast - have come together to create something new, crafted on The Clydeside. Stobcross, the road where the journey began.

In 2017, Tim Morrison fulfilled his lifelong aspiration of reviving the art of distilling Single Malt Whisky in Glasgow by opening The Clydeside Distillery. This endeavor also involved the restoration of the dock constructed by his great-grandfather. On October 15, 2021, The Clydeside Distillery proudly unveiled its inaugural Single Malt Whisky.

The historic name of Stobcross originated from an ancient cross that once marked the path to Dumbarton Rock. Along this road in the 1600s, the Anderson family constructed a magnificent mansion known as Stobcross House. Later, they went on to develop the prosperous weaving village of Anderston. Over time, as the River Clyde witnessed industrial growth in 1875, Stobcross House was dismantled to make room for the Queen's Dock, which became the thriving hub of Glasgow's renowned global maritime trade.

A WHISKY OF CHARACTER

This Clydeside Single Malt Whisky is produced using clear water from Loch Katrine, 100% Scottish barley and then matured in the finest Oak casks.

NOSE: Floral notes, fresh sweetness with tropical tones

PALATE: Orchard fruits and hints of white pepper

FINISH: Fresh, fruit tones. 

Inspired by a classic, Juniper-led London dry gin bouquet, a supporting duo of Hawke's Bay lemon peel and coriander, NDC’s New Zealand Dry Gin is a London dry like no other, super charged with up to three times the botanicals than the big brands.

An approachable, easy drinking everyday dry gin and a great all-rounder.

Traditional pine and citrus notes are embellished and guided to a deeper place by the unctuous, yet finely structured tones of New Zealand Orris root.

Only pure certified organic cereals are used in the production of Spirit of Hven organic vodka. The final distillation is carried out in the unique copper pot stills situated at the Spirit of Hven Distillery. The result is a natural organic vodka with the distinct mellow flavour and elegant mouth feel characteristic of the Hven stills.

A unique product on the market being the only organic wheat pot distilled vodka working with oak maturation prior to last pot distillation.

SCENT
This Vodka has a clear heritage in the taste, distinct full flavoured and oily. Hints of Vanilla from the oak maturation in between distillations pass through in the stills and in to the final spirit giving the spirit a round mouth feel.

TASTE
The vodka is smooth yet multifaceted with discrete notes of cut hay and wheat, the copper pot still distillation gives a round, butter, sweet tone.

Maker Notes

Aged more than 4 years, the 2023 vintage of our High Proof Bourbon showcases a warm and rich nose of molasses, roasted peanuts, and caramel which leads to a dense palate of baked apricot, vanilla, and burnt sugar.
Pinhook’s High Proof Bourbon is a limited annual release comprising a small selection of our finest barrels, blended for whiskey enthusiasts and connoisseurs. It’s bottled close to or at cask strength, at a proof chosen to maximize complex flavors and integrate them with the alcohol for a long and balanced finish.

Our 2023 Bourbon is paired with Bourbon Resolve, by Hard Spun out of the mare All Mettle, by Touch Gold.

In partnership with Six Columns Stable, Bourbon Resolve was purchased by Bourbon Lane Stable for $200,000. He is a well-balanced colt who really came on as a two-year-old. He stands a good bit off the ground at 16.2 hands, setting him up for a big three-year-old campaign.

17 long years. Imagine the flavour, the depth, the richness, that develops over all that time in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt. The Irishman – 17-Year-Old is a superlative Single Malt. A highly exclusive expression – just three casks are produced each year.  Each bottle comes numbered by cask as a mark of quality. Triple distilled, non-chill filtered, and crafted from a mash bill made entirely of Irish barley. Bottled at 56% ABV.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: The influence of the Sherry cask is forever present, with notes of dark chocolate.

TASTE: Toasted oak and sweet sherried raisins gives a complexity that is satisfying to the palate.

FINISH: A combination of nutty oloroso sherry as well as a dark chocolate that begs to continue.

Distilled at Loch Lomond distillery which sits in Alexandria, West Dumbartonshire, this is a heavily peated dram, known as their "Inchfad" expression, and was matured in Oloroso sherry casks since 2021. It displays bbq meat notes from the outset and slight hints of cinnamon and pepper add a mild spice to the dram that also has a sweet element on the palate. A mix of both bold and subtle flavours.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Meaty, BBQ, cinnamon sticks

Flavour: Spare ribs in BBQ sauce, smoked cheese, honey glaze

Finish: Pulled pork, dark chocolate, soy sauce, white pepper

This deeply sweet and nutty small-batch release is the first Glenmorangie ever to be finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks. Aged for 12 years, it brings a new elegance to the Highland Distillery’s delicate style.

The single malt spent its first eight years mellowing in American white oak bourbon casks. Then, delighted by that whisky’s smooth, soft character, Dr Bill was inspired to finish a select batch in Palo Cortado casks, never before used at Glenmorangie.

Palo Cortado is the rarest variety of sherry, created purely by chance, when the protective ‘flor’ yeast does not form on sherry intended to become Amontillado.

Enchanted by Palo Cortado’s sweet and nutty flavours, Dr Bill sourced a handful of its casks, which are incredibly hard to come by. He filled them with the whisky, imagining the unparalleled depth and complexity they might bring Glenmorangie. Finished in these deliciously wonderful casks, Dr Bill’s creation developed all the rich elegance he had dreamed of.

Uniquely complex and nutty, it layers dark plum depths with milk-chocolate richness, Brazil nuts and sweet spice.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Burnt Amber

NOSE: Rich, elegant and rounded. Toffee, fudge and vanilla sweetness entwine with mossy notes and mulled wine hints. Then come scents of honeyed ginger and milk-chocolate truffle dusted with cinnamon. A splash of water reveals notes of orange sherbet, carnations and Brazil nuts.

TASTE: An oily yet peppery texture leads to a burst of rich, sweet flavours. Treacle toffee and milk chocolate are threaded with notes of clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Meanwhile, fruity undertones of raisins, dark plums and bitter orange find delectable balance with baking ryebread and salted nuts.

FINISH: Long and nutty, brimming with spice, leather and a touch of aniseed.

The collection is an exhibition of the most iconic moments across the six decades of Bond; each decade encapsulated on its own packaging. Bringing to life the innovations and inventions of James Bond across the years, the packaging has been colour washed with one of the trending colours of the decade it represents.

DECADE III
In the 1980s Roger Moore’s playfulness gave way to an altogether different tone with the arrival of Timothy Dalton as the next Bond. He was frequently seen re-reading the Ian Fleming texts on set, determined to capture the author’s original character study. 

Dalton’s brooding depth revealed new levels of the character. Through The Living Daylights and A Licence to Kill, Bond’s stoic integrity telegraphed the pressures of constant vigilance. He fulfilled his duties heroically, his burden willingly shouldered. 

ABOUT THE RELEASE
This exceptional single malt whisky has been created by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell to reflect the character of James Bond. A force of nature defined by his Scottish heritage, he carries himself with modesty and humility.  Like James Bond, the expression exudes a sense of style and maturity which has evolved over the years. The whisky is consistent within all six bottles.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Fresh and vibrant notes of lemon and lime, a sprinkle of sherbet, leading into a sweet vanilla and coconut, with a hint of dried fig and raisin.

PALATE: Orange zest and fizzy sherbet with a lemon freshness, gentle oak and subtle ginger spice, leading into a deep dark chocolate, figs and baked apple tart with a honey drizzle.

FINISH: Sweet and long with complexed layers.

COLOUR: Suisse (Swiss) gold

WHISKY MAKER: Kirsteen Campbell

THE BOND ARCHIVE
The distinct range tells the story of innovation over 60 years and the pioneering character attributes of James Bond and The Macallan. James Bond is a modern innovator and man of perennial evolution. The Bond films have become closely associated with ingenious 007 gadgets that are used on his mission to deliver for the greater good; and have become a hallmark of the franchise’s popularity. 

Decade III explores the Bond innovations and archives of the 1980s. The pack design features logo concept art from Octopussy (1983) used on the poster for the film, an ATAC Operations Area sketch and a ATAC storyboard sequence from For Your Eyes Only (1981).

Maker Notes

Something weird has been going down at the Distillery.  The legendary purifier on the still – responsible for Ardbeg’s exalted balance – is nowhere to be seen. And this whisky – Ardbeg Heavy Vapours – is the consequence. The familiar harmony between peat and floral fruitiness has been disrupted. What have risen are the untamed darker flavours and notes, gathering and filling the senses. It is an ominous dram of dramatic, aromatic pungency. Heavy Vapours will rise.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Pale straw

NOSE: SMOKE rises with a cloying sweetness. Intense, pungent and aromatic, a distinctive farmyard scent drifts, along with a crunchy aroma, like CREOSOTE or tarry rope. A splash of water disturbs the vapours and DARK CHOCOLATE CREAM billows, laced with a ribbon of SMOKED ARTICHOKE.

TASTE: Ardbeg’s UNTAMED darker flavours and notes have risen. A burst of bittersweetness SURGES, disturbing ashy coal DUST and casting a HAZE of CARDAMOM, peppermint and COFFEE grits. CLOUDS OF dark chocolate and mentholic eucalyptus ROLL IN, OBSCURING the fruit and floral notes usually found at the heart of ARDBEG. Wisps of ANISEED twists, CINNAMON balls and antiseptic lozenges FLOAT on the palate.

FINISH: The aftertaste lingers LONG and BOLD, with an almost anaesthetising sensation.

Master blender Heather Greene harvested 75 bourbon barrels to create the inaugural batch of Very Small Batch Bourbon. These barrels are a combination of bourbon distilled by master distiller Marlene Holmes in Kentucky using the proprietary Milam & Greene mash bill and barrels of Tennessee bourbon. The barrel recipe for Batch 1 is 20% of the precious Kentucky barrels and 80% Tennessee barrels. The barrels are divided into smaller batches to marry in 1,000-gallon vatting tanks before finishing.

The Kentucky whiskey base is distilled by the Milam & Greene team using their signature mash bill of 70% corn, 22% malted rye, and 8% malted barley. The use of malted rye provides a rich texture and nuttiness that makes it approachable at a young age. For Batch 1, the barrels are aged in Kentucky and then Texas for just shy of 4 years. The Tennessee bourbon was distilled with a mash bill of 80% corn, 10% rye, and 10% malted barley. This batch is a reflection of the climate on whiskey from three different states: Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas.

Using very small batches as the heart of our new whiskey allows for greater control over the final product. It takes much more attention to detail to produce an elegant whiskey that showcases the esters that are produced during fermentation to bring out refined fruit, floral, and herbaceous notes. To perfect the precise wood flavor without overpowering these refined ester notes, Very Small Batch Bourbon is finished with French oak staves. French oak casks that once held both tawny port wine and then Milam & Greene’s award-winning rye whiskey are broken down, then “cooked” in the 100-degree Texan summer sun, and finally house-charred to a crisp on the outside only. These crispy-on-the-outside, rye-kissed on-the-inside staves are tied in bundles and then steeped in Very Small Batch Bourbon for about two weeks in the vatting tanks.

TASTING NOTES

Color: Tawny

Nose: It starts sweet and delicious, followed by some nuttiness, soft vanilla, and French toast aromas

Palate: Fruit-forward sweetness at the beginning, quickly evolving to notes of black tea with fresh baked biscuit flavors

Finish: Long and warm

Very Small Batch Bourbon is bottled at 108 proof / 54% ABV allowing the flavors to shine when sipped neat, and to further open up with a drop of still water. This elegant bourbon style is a high-end sipper, meant to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

Mithuna by Paul John, of the Paul John Zodiac series, is named after the Indian counterpart of the 3rd Zodiac sign Gemini.

Unpeated. Non chill-filtered. Matured in American virgin oak casks and finished in ex-bourbon casks.

Hues of old oak and sophisticated aromas of liquorice with gentle beeswax lead to a luxuriant delivery of ulmo honey on crisp toast, and tender notes of vanilla. Chewy flavours of coffee mocha, orange peel and delicate spice float on active tannins while gentle oils enjoy gists of dark cocoa tones. The finish is gratifyingly long and complex with multi-toned sugars and delicate honeys.

Renowned for contradictive strengths, the characteristics of Gemini are epitomized by this Indian single malt as mesmerizing layers of austere, dry tannins are challenged in equal measure by resplendent sugars and mocha on delicate oils.

Nose: Aromas of liquorice, gentle beeswax with ulmo honey on crisp toast and tender notes of vanilla.
