WHISKY 25ml

THE HIGHLANDS

This is Scotland’s most vast whisky producing area, which embraces many styles. From the salty, appetising malts of the coastal distilleries to the classic inland ‘heather-honey’ flavoured malts, there is something for everyone.

Edradour, 10 Years Old, 40% £4.75
From the smallest distillery in Scotland comes a full-bodied, rich and toffeeish malt, with hints of Christmas cake, chocolate and dried fruits.

Royal Lochnagar, 12 Years Old, 40% £4.15
A very gentle, elegant highland malt that was lucky enough to be given a Royal Warrant due to its proximity to Balmoral.

THE LOWLANDS

Lowland production has all but come to a standstill on account of the growing popularity of both Speyside and Islay malts, but this region still has much to offer with its delicately fruity, light to medium-bodied and perfumed whiskies.

Auchentoshan 12 Years Old, 40% £4.50
Known affectionately as Glasgow’s distillery, Auchentoshan has always produced clean, fresh whisky that is very easy going.

Glenkinchie 10 Years Old, 43% £4.25
Gentle Glenkinchie is known for its subtle spicy and fruity flavours. One of the few whiskies that is a good accompaniment for cheeses.

ISLAY

With seven distilleries struggling to keep up with demand, Islay boasts the most pungent, smoky and powerful malts of all. Although they are an acquired taste, once you have developed it you will never look back.

Caol Ila, 12 Years Old, 43% £4.95
This little known distillery produces complex, smoky and oily-textured malts. This one has nuances of seaweed, juniper, olives and peaty dryness.

CAMPBELTOWN

Springbank 10 Years Old, 46% £4.50
Protector and protagonists of the Campbeltown style. Springbank’s youngest is characterised by an oily texture, and hints of salt, toffee and toasted coconut.
