Fruit-forward & spirit-driven

What is more universally delicious than ripe fruit? Even the greatest chefs have been known to serve a simple dish of strawberries or a single, perfect peach as a dessert.

Orchard House gathers together some of the fruitiest malts Scotland has to offer, including whiskies from the Linkwood and Clynelish distilleries; what’s more, we have sourced many of these whiskies as new spirit and laid them down in our own oak casks. This, our monument to fresh fruitiness in Scotch whisky, has been many years in the making.

Bottled at 46% ABV
Not chill-filtered
Natural colour
Lead whiskymaker: James Saxon

When neat or poured over a large ice cube, Orchard House makes for an outstanding pre-dinner malt. It will ably partner amber and pale ales, as well as swathes of soft cheeses. Welcome to our home among the fruit trees – the door is unlocked.

Canadian Club Invitation Series No. 1 – 15-Year-Old Sherry Cask is a whisky masterpiece. Its complex nose boasts vanilla, sweet red and dark fruit, blackstrap, and subtle pitchy wood. The palate offers butterscotch, solid oak structure, and grapefruit pith, leading to a warm spiciness. The lush body weaves threads into a plush entity, and the medium finish is fruity and warm with hints of Canada balsam. A premium release from Canadian Club, this 15-year-old sherry cask-aged whisky is a remarkable testament to the brand's expertise since 1858.

In 1870, Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O for his circle of friends and introduced a new style of cognac.  Hennessy X.O is the Original, the emblematic icon of the Hennessy Maison. Deep and powerful, the eaux-de-vie of this Hennessy X.O cognac are aged in young barrels and marked out by their power and energy, but also by their capacity to achieve a great roundness through time. Our Tasting Committee has explored every facet of the blend and identified several emotions that were assimilated to an Odyssey through 7 chapters: 

Tasting Notes

Sweet Notes: The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit.

Rising Heat: The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels.

Spicy Edge: Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate. 

Flowing Flame: A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt. 

Chocolate Lull: There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate.

Wood Crunches: A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla.

Infinite Echo: The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.

The fourth release in the Harmony Collection has been created in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil to tell our oak story in an imaginative, visual and innovative way.

IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
Two brands dedicated to constant innovation, this collaboration is inspired by a shared respect for creativity and reverence for the natural world.

For this release that celebrates our 200 Year Anniversary, we focus on our own area of expertise and mastery which is represented by oak. Oak runs through every facet of The Macallan and our exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, distinctive aromas and flavours of our whisky.

The Macallan continuously draws inspiration from nature. The Harmony Collection, Vibrant Oak is a reminder of the importance of both the connection with our natural environment and of preserving it.

THE EXPERIENCE

Tamdhu was born in 1897, on the banks of the River Spey. Now, as then, every drop is crafted with the same care - starting with water drawn from our own spring. In 1898 our founders created another Tamdhu tradition, securing a first precious shipment of sherry casks from Spain. Today, Tamdhu matures exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, nothing less. This scarce wood bears two great gifts: colour and taste. Tamdhu 15 Year Old's deep copper hue is developed by the cask, nothing more - and each drop owes its rich, complex taste to its home of a decade and a half. Finally, Tamdhu 15 Year Old is bottled unchillfiltered. A magnificent Speyside Single Malt for the sherry wood connoisseur.

Vuelo del Aviador crafts artisanal tequila of the highest quality in Jalisco, Mexico. Their lineup of luxury spirits consists of the Plata, Reposado, Aejo, and Extra Aejo. The finest blue weber agaves used are fully-matured, meaning they have been growing on the estate for 7 to 9 years. They are then cooked slowly in clay ovens for 72 hours before the pulp is fermented and distilled using copper-pot stills. The different juices then get aged for varying amounts of time, from the Plata which takes 4 months, to the Extra Aejo which takes 5 to 7 years. Different casks are used for maturation. These include French and American oak, Napa Valley red wine barrels, as well as whiskey casks. The Gran Reserva Plata rests for 4 months before being bottled at 80 proof. "Vuelo del Aviador" is Spanish for "flight of the pilot", hence the wings in the design of the bottle. The smooth spirit has floral, vanilla, and fruity notes and has won a Double Gold Medal at the 2020 edition of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The handcrafted tequila is smooth and delicate, making it a perfect sipper.

The heritage of OPIHR Spices of the Orient Gin is firmly rooted in the ancient Spice Route. Traditionally merchants would travel thousands of miles along the route, trading exotic spices and botanicals from distant lands.

OPIHR Spices of the Orient Gin is crafted with a selection of exotic hand-picked botanicals, carefully chosen by OPIHR’s Master Distiller, including spicy Cubeb berries from Indonesia, Black Pepper from India and Coriander from Morocco.

The botanicals in Opihr Gin make the journey to their final destination, the oldest distillery in England, where quality gin has been traditionally distilled, using the same London Dry Gin method, since 1761. Here the botanicals are married with fine English spirit to produce an exotic oriental spiced gin.

This intense, exotic spiced gin exudes the character of the Orient, incorporating hand-picked botanicals from along the Ancient Spice Route.

Aroma: A rich and robust gin with a smooth perfume and sharp bursts of citrus. Key notes of cumin and cardamom provide a warm, earthy background balanced with grapefruit peel.

Taste: Soft camphor, some sweetness and Oriental spices create a warm mouth feel that lingers but does not increase intensity.

The story of Woodinville began with two best friends with a passion to make the greatest craft whiskey in the world. Woodinville whiskeys are made by time-honored traditions of bourbon production, using the highest quality locally grown grains, the best barrels, and coopers in the world, the most technologically advanced distilling equipment, and the wisdom of an industry legend, the late David Pickerell. Woodinville has already received notable accolades including "Craft Whiskey of the Year" for their Straight Bourbon, and "Craft Rye Whiskey of the Year" for their Straight Rye by the American Distilling Institute in 2018 and 2017 respectively. All of the grain used in production is grown exclusively for Woodinville whiskeys on the Omlin Family Farm in Quincy, Washington, run by third-generation farmers, Arnie and Phyllis Omlin. The locally sourced grains are mashed, distilled, and barreled in their Woodinville distillery, before heading over the Cascade Mountains to their private barrelhouses, where Central Washington's extreme temperature cycles stimulate the extraction of natural flavors from the oak. Before being coopered, the barrel wood used for maturation is open-air seasoned for eighteen months, allowing the elements to soften the wood's harsh tannins. The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enhance the wood's most desirable flavors. This meticulous process delivers a hand-crafted spirit with rich aromas of crme brle and spice cabinet, and decadent notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish. The Port Finished expression takes their 5-year-old Straight Bourbon for another 6 months of finishing in ruby port barrels. This adds additional notes of candied cherries, dried fruit, berries, and chocolate to the already rich bourbon profile.

Maker Notes

Celebrating the legacy of Mary White, the uncrowned queen of bootleggers, we at Deluxe Distillery selected the finest grains and distilled them to perfection. Our master-distiller added malted barley in precise proportions for a stout character with a swarthy tang. Drinking Mary White Vodka is experiencing a distinctive touch of grain in the nose, a fully developed tingly flavour on the palate, a smooth and silky texture on the tongue, and an epic aftertaste. Sip Mary White Vodka neat, with your preferred mixer, or as an indispensable ingredient in your favourite cocktail. Have Mary White Vodka or nothing at all.

TASTING NOTES
The extremely balanced notes of the complex and flavourful Mary White vodka reveal cereal-like notes of bread dough, and a faint lemon spice that manifests itself fully once on the palate. Supported by the underlying earthiness of malted barley, this vodka is surprisingly smooth and fresh, with a tingly and fully developed citrusy flavor, and a stout & epic aftertaste, leaving a silky feel on the tongue.

Named after two influential men of New Orleans cocktail industry, Thomas Handy and John Schiller, Handy & Schiller Barreled Cocktails was introduced by the Sazerac Company. Schiller, worked as a bartender in New York, later finding his way to New Orleans. By 1860 he was operating the world-famous Sazerac Coffeehouse in the French Quarter. Thomas Handy, a Maryland native, worked for Schiller at the coffeehouse. Handy later went on to become even more successful in the industry. Handy and Schiller's integral roles in the early days of New Orleans' cocktail culture would serve as inspiration for over a century and a half years of libations in America's most unique city. The Handy & Schiller Barreled Old Fashioned, and the Handy & Schiller Barreled Manhattan are both crafted and aged at Buffalo Trace Distillery. This Handy & Schiller Manhattan is crafted using Sazerac Rye Whiskey, Vermouth and Peychaud's Bitters.

Westland's range of single malts is completely approachable in light of its merits. The Sherry Wood expression has won countless awards and its critical acclaim is a further testament to the quality of this distinguished whiskey.
