Ardmore is the original, peated Highlander; this expression has been left at Cask Strength, a whopping 60.5%, which makes it rather special as the high alcohol volume carries the whisky extremely well. Caol Ceo on the label can be translated from Gaelic to "Light Smoke" (or a thin mist).

TruthbeTold
Winner of:
Gold Medal - International Spirits Challenge - 2020
Silver Award at the International Wine & Spirits Challenge - 2020
Some famous distilleries are fiercely protective of their whiskies and adapted a process called tea-spooning; as in adding a teaspoon of another malt. This is so 'Independent Bottlers' cannot call it a Single Malt or use the Distillery name. This exceptional cask in its previous incarnations was known as 'Wardhead' and clues to its identity lie within the label.
Stalla Dhu Glen Elgin
Winner of:
Award Spirit Gold (95 points) - International Whisky & Spirits Competition - 2021
Limited to only 268 bottles, this beautiful whisky was aged for 10 years in an ex-bourbon barrel and finished in a first fill Port cask.
Distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2020 at the abv of 48% making the perfect dram for most whisky enthusiasts and collectors.
Adding a few drops of water to this magnificent single cask whisky, instantly smooths out the flavours, intensifying the creamy and fruity notes with a slight dark chocolate undertone to it.
Stalla Dhu Caol Ila
Winner of:
Award Spirit Silver (94 points) - International Whisky & Spirits Competition - 2021
This beautiful limited-edition bottling from the Islay distillery, Caol Ila, has been bottled at the cask strength of 60.4% abv and aged during 11 years in a Hogshead cask.
Pronounced "cull-eella", the distillery is situated on the North Eastern shores of Islay. The name was derived from Gaelic Caol Ěle for "Sound of Islay", in reference to the distillery's location overlooking the strait between the Islay and Jura islands.
Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2020, each bottling comes with a unique number, with only 287 bottles being released.
As this is a cask strength release, we recommend trying to add a few drops of water to open up the flavours. We can find more tropical notes followed by a peaty, lingering sweetness.
