Ardbeg 25 Year Old
Bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillery's darkest days, this is Ardbeg at its most intricate, balanced and beguiling. Majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires are masterfully interwoven with layers of pine and fragrant candle wax. Hot pepper rises on the palate, twisting around lemon sherbet sweetness, while hints of carbolic soap and tar flow into a long aftertaste characterised by delicate aniseed entwined with lingering cream and fudge.

Nose: A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbeg's classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana and tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax.
Palate: An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel leads into a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears and orange), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper.
Finish: A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes. An elegant, soothing style of Ardbeg.

Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 14.1
The Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 14.1 is a 2023 release from the Islay-based distillery's renowned "super heavily peated" single malt series. The 14.1 serves as the foundational "backbone" of the 14th annual series, designed as a benchmark expression that showcases the raw, intense character of the 2017 vintage before other, more experimental casks in the series (14.2, 14.3, 14.4) are considered. It is known for balancing extreme smoke with surprising elegance and complexity.

Nose: Intense peat smoke is immediately balanced by sweet vanilla, creamy toffee, and bright citrus notes
Palate: The palate is exceptionally creamy, delivering a powerful surge of smoky caramel, toasted oak, and zesty lemon
Finish: It leaves a long, dry finish dominated by lingering bonfire smoke, earthy peat, and a delicate hint of maritime brine
