Finish: The finish grows and develops with notes of soot, leather and walnuts prominent before easing off like the ebbing tide over one of Kintyre’s pebble beaches.

Kilkerran Single Malt is produced at Glengyle Distillery. Glengyle is an independent, family run distillery based in Campbeltown, the historic whisky capital of the world. The name Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic, “Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain” which is the name of the original settlement where Saint Kieran had his religious cell and Campbeltown now stands. Glengyle now produces a range of Kilkerran Single Malt whiskies, all natural in colour and non-chill filtered. All our whisky characterises typical Campbeltown drams; rich, complex and perfectly balanced.

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.

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 II

The 1970s saw the rise of Roger Moore’s Bond. He brought different, mischievous facets and humour to the character, cheering up a somewhat dire decade. 

A man for the times, he overcame filmic adversaries with elegant aplomb.  While the business of making movies remained as serious as whisky distilling, he reminded us that life is about enjoyment of the finer, better still the finest, of all that it offers.  

The packaging design includes sketches and storyboards from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Stromborg’s Atlantis marine research lab, and various space station concepts from Moonraker (1979).

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

The Kilchoman whisky distillery has released a new limited edition single malt that has been finished for 9 months in mezcal casks sourced from Oaxaca, Mexico. This Royal Mile Whisky exclusive is the first mezcal cask whisky released by Kilchoman and has garnered attention among whisky enthusiasts. Despite being produced in Oaxaca, mezcal is also made in other regions of Mexico such as Durango, Guerrero, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, and Puebla. However, the use of the term "mezcal" is regulated by the Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) and certification can be costly, leading some producers to use alternative terms like "agave spirits" or "destilados de agave". While some may perceive these alternative labels as inferior, many of the best examples of mezcal come from small-scale producers who cannot afford certification and who believe that "mezcal" is a way of life and tradition rather than a state-controlled designation.

Its complex nose exhibits preserved lemon, smoked baked apples, green bell peppers, toffee, and honey, while the palate delivers tangy notes of lime, apple, syrupy pineapple, and chilli pepper heat. The finish is medium to long in length with peat smoke and lingering pineapple sweetness. While the whisky loses some of its definition when diluted, it remains a top-notch representation of the unique interplay between mezcal casks and Kilchoman's signature peated Islay whisky.

Named after another lost distillery of Campbeltown (which once operated right next door to Springbank and whose warehouse now houses our bottling hall), Longrow was first produced in 1973 to provide a peaty, oily and robust component to a blend being created at the time. More heavily peated and double distilled, it has been a staple in the production calendar since the 1990s. Longrow Peated offers those who enjoy a heavily peated whisky the chance to enjoy a lingering, smoky taste that travels through the senses like the smoke billows from a kiln. Matured in Bourbon and Sherry Casks

Nose: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. Toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.

Palate: Incredibly well balanced; rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, like the soft billows of smoke from the Kiln.

Finish: The gentle smoke lingers and lingers leaving you yearning for more.

As our legend goes, when the tides at Talisker Bay flowed with an unusual force, a luminous creature was drawn from the blackest depths, flooding the deep-sea darkness with its captivating glow. This powerful luminescence was carried on storm-tossed currents to the Talisker distillery, illuminating its new-make spirit. In that spirit too, the vivid luminosity shone, its classic smokiness fading before a radiant tide of spice-bright sweetness rarely seen.

On the shores of Loch Harport, near the western edge of the rugged Isle of Skye, legends easily ring true. Standing apart, its new make spirit cooled by the sea, Talisker has forged its own maritime destiny here since 1830. Sweet, salt-laced, thunderous and smoky, as elemental as land, sea or storm, this is a whisky for the wild at heart, Made by the Sea.

Light shines in every element here. Amid a deep golden glow, salty, smoky hints of a beach bonfire give the mild nose a maritime feel. First fill ex-bourbon casks gift layers of luminous flavour, the texture smoothly oily, the taste sweet and smoky-spicy, salty and fruity, like an orchard in sea mist. Peaty power appears in the chilli-spiced catch of the long finish. This is a legendary Talisker, of ethereal beauty.

Elemental yet also classic in character: maritime malty smokiness merges smoothly with a tide of spice-bright sweetness to form a salt-laced monster that is truly “Made by the Sea”.

First-fill ex-bourbon casks gift layers of flavour; a luminous spiced sweetness bathes storm-tossed notes of smoke and sea in its irresistible glow.

Best served neat, pour 60ml of Talisker 11YO in a whisky glass and enjoy.

Talisker 11YO is a unique gift that stands out within the Special Releases collection, and is perfect for get-togethers with friends or family.

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE: Deep, glowing gold.

BODY: Medium.

NOSE: Maritime in feel, with light spice-prickle, the first impression suggests a beach bonfire of dry seaweed, then deep-seated notes of maritime saltiness and marine engines take over, on a base of drying fresh linen. All these scents hold together well at reduced strength.

PALATE: Smoothly oily in texture, while the taste is gloriously sweet throughout and smoky-spicy, with a distinct fruity hint, all of which evokes an orchard seen through smoke and sea mist. A fine salty balance in the middle leads the spiciness on into a powerful chili pepper catch as you swallow. With a drop of water, the sweet fruitiness and saltiness come into their own.

FINISH: Long, sustained and lightly smoky, with lingering warming spice.

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.
