Scotch Whisky is a distilled alcoholic beverage produced in Scotland. Its taste is renowned for its complexity, which varies significantly depending on the region of production and the ageing process. The origin of Scotch Whisky production dates back to at least the 15th century, with early records indicating distillation by monks. Over time, the process evolved, and regulations were established to ensure quality and authenticity.
Common flavour profiles include: Smoky/Peaty: From the use of peat-smoked barley during the malting process. Fruity: Notes of apple, pear, and dried fruits, Spicy: Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper and Sweet: Undertones of honey, caramel, and vanilla, derived from oak cask ageing.
Founded in 1815, the Laphroaig Distillery is still going strong today. This 10 year old single malt is one of their finest offerings, offering rich smoky flavours and just a hint of sweetness for a Scotch that goes down without any fuss.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask Scotch Whisky is double cask matured and non-chill filtered, resulting in a spirit with an incredibly deep palate and smoky aromas. At 48%, this whisky packs a real punch, but a hint of sweetness and lingering finish takes the edge off.
A smooth and rich triple malt Scotch, Monkey Shoulder is a premium whisky that is tended to by hand in Speyside, Scotland. Blended using only the finest malts, this delightful Scotch has aromas of cinnamon, sherry, butterscotch and berry while the taste is equally as enticing with flavours of tangy nuts, citrus, mint, oak and orange peel.
Scotland definitely knows a thing or two about producing great whisky, and The Naked Grouse Scotch Whisky 700mL is no exception. Matured in sherry oak casks, the whisky is immersed in flavours of toasty oak, stone fruit, and sweet cocoa. A spicy, orange finish ties all the flavours together.
Oban 14 Year Old Scotch Whisky makes itself known with flavours of peat and malt, with a smoother profile that makes it easy to drink. Enjoy it neat with a little drop of water and look forward to an intense finish.
Originating from one of Scotland's most historic distilleries, Talisker Whiskey is incredibly smooth and easy on the palate. Matured for a decade, the final result has a peaty and salty aroma, with plenty of sweetness and a fiery kick to its flavour.
