Ledaig is really becoming so popular that soon we won't be able to call it a cult malt whisky anymore. Tobermory distillery's peated Island single malt whisky is developing a legion of enthusiastic zealots.

Big smoke. This non-chill filtered dram is raw and punchy for the palates that demand a proper spanking. If that doesn’t sound like your idea of fun, we’d look at a sherry cask. For a taste of classic Speyside Scotch, look no further than Glen Moray 18 Year Old. Located in one of Scotland’s oldest towns, the distillery has been crafting quality single malts on the banks of the River Lossie for over 120 years. Passion is fundamental to the operation and the resulting whisky imparts an impeccable sense of balance and consistency. When all of the local clan-killing was done, and the ship’s provisions were secured, it was time for the Spanish to set sail. Unfortunately, before they could scarper, one of the ship’s provisioners blew up the boat, killing almost everyone on board and sinking the San Juan de Sicilia – along with its rumoured cargo of Spanish gold – to the bottom of Tobermory Bay. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise.This first expression from the series sees the smoky Ledaig signature expression finished in hand selected Rioja casks in honour of the Spanish treasure buried deep off the shoreline. Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. For over three decades, Glenmorangie’s Original 10 Year has been the most popular single malt Scotch whisky in all of the land (where they know a thing or two about whisky). Combine that with the brand’s endless slate of awards and you have a spirit that sells itself. The Original also serves as the base whisky for a variety of finishing programs, yielding rich expressions like Quinta Ruban and Lasanta. In terms of flavours, you’ll love the delicacy of this affordable dram. A representation of classic Scotch if there ever was one, the flavours of orange, creamy vanilla, and fruity hits of peach.

This bottle certainly has got personality and the Rioja steers it away from the standard 10yo into much sweeter seas. I imagine this could be a bottle that divides the crowd and I’m pleased to have grabbed this bottle on offer and would be happy to have it come aboard my ship again. For me the biggest pet peeve is it has the cheek to be part of a series with no other bottles on the horizon. Sitting at the pointy end of our list of one of the all-time greats, The Macallan. About as close to smooth and balanced perfection as top-shelf Scotch Whisky can get, the brand has unique expressions up and down the price spectrum, but the 12-year-old Sherry Oak Cask is our overall favourite. That being said, we’ve also come to love the brand for its offshoot expressions, particularly their latest Harmony Collection, inspired by Arabica which we absolutely loved for its strong coffee flavours.If you’ve never heard of Ben Nevis, you’re not alone because this brand flies under the radar with some of the best Scotch we’ve ever tasted. Our expert Emma Cookson thinks you’ll love this brand because it’s rare, full of untapped flavours, and comes in at a fair price point.

With an ABV of 40-43%, it’s an approachable whisky albeit a little light on the palate for some seasoned drinkers. The peated expression that you’ll want to drink all day. It’s an award-winning expression that won Double Gold in 2015 but continues its run today with great colour and plenty of campfire morning smoke and coastal salt on the palate. If you’re looking for alternatives to Scotch whisky, we recommend looking at Japan, Ireland, and Australia. Japanese whisky has grown exponentially to the point some of their brand’s bottles are fetching world-record pricing for rarity and quality. Ireland has made a name for itself by offering a more relaxed ruleset compared to its Scottish friends and the result is a new age of whisky that experiments with younger age statements barreled in sweet wine barrels. The same can be said for the best Australian whisky brands, specifically those from Tasmania that have won awards against some of the world’s best. Explore Different Global Regions
