Glenturret Whisky

Posted on 24 March 2010

A very small proportion of Glenturret’s stock is kept back for release as a single malt.  The official bottling was a 12 year-old until recently – the new standard line is a 10yo, with some single cask bottlings appearing from time to time.  Independent bottlings are extremely rare and the overall climate of Glenturret’s production [...]

Glenrothes Whisky

Posted on 24 March 2010

Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky is going through a rapid increase in popularity at the minute.  Their distinctive packaging and rich smooth nature of the malts really appeal to the buyers market right now.  When you consider their quirky bottling of vintages, rather than ages the Glenrothes whisky brand rises above other similarly sized whisky [...]

Glenmorangie Whisky

Posted on 24 March 2010

Glenmorangie is tour de force in the whisky industry thanks to their expertise in the market.  The new owners have overseen a total revamp in the Glenmorangie range since late 2007, when the old packaging was abandoned for more elegant bottles and labels, the 15yo and Madeira wood finish were dropped from the core range, [...]

Glenlossie Whisky

Posted on 24 March 2010

Given that Glenlossie was named as one of only twelve ‘top class’ malts by blenders in 1974, it is perhaps surprising that the distillery is so little-known.  The reason is simple – as Glenlossie is in such high demand only 1% of their production is left for single malt.  It isn’t every day that whisky [...]

Glenlivet Whisky

Posted on 24 March 2010

Glenlivet whisky inspired the entire Speyside region and set the standards for all the single malts that came from the area that still provides the world with its favourite style of single malt whisky.  Historically many even tried to borrow the name Glenlivet for use on their own distilleries so it will come as no [...]

Glenkinchie Whisky

Posted on 24 March 2010

Today, with just two Lowland distilleries left in production, Glenkinchie is the undisputed champion of the light Lowland style. With its interesting visitor center and charming setting, this also makes an ideal first distillery visit for today’s tourists. Glenkinchie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is also popular in sales figures which is surprising when considering it [...]

Glengoyne Whisky

Posted on 23 March 2010

The same traditional methods and basic ingredients, barley, water and yeast, have been used to make Scotch whisky for over 500 years and Glengoyne is no different. However there is one subtle difference which does set Glengoyne apart from other malt whiskies in a class of its own.  In a similar fashion to Macallan, Glengoyne [...]

Glenfiddich Whisky

Posted on 23 March 2010

Glenfiddich is the only Highland single malt distilled, matured and even bottled at its own distillery, using a single source of spring water throughout the process.  If that wasn’t interesting enough, Glenfiddich whisky uses some interesting methods in the creation process that you wont find in every distillery.  Not many people know that, which is [...]

Glendullan Whisky

Posted on 23 March 2010

Until recently the only official bottlings of Glendullan whisky were a 12 year-old in the now-discontinued Flora and Fauna range, alongside a few older, cask-strength Rare Malt editions.  Don’t fret however, as in 2008 another bottling was released for the UK market and of course you can pick up the occassional independant bottlings here and there. [...]

GlenDronach Whisky

The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks.  Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that GlenDronach is famous for.  Expect raisiny notes from this sherry casked malt.  Not the cheapest, but worth every penny.
