Scottish Whisky
Scotland's whisky legacy is etched in traditions passed down through generations.
Within this realm, two distinct types of whisky emerge: Single Malt Scotch and Blended Scotch, each holding a unique place in the nation's heritage.
Single Malt Scotch
Crafted within a single distillery, Single Malt Scotch reflects the regional landscapes it springs from. Distilled in pot stills, it captures the essence of its origin. From the peat-laden flavour of Islay to Speyside's floral notes, each sip unveils a vivid taste of where it was created.
Blended Scotch
Blended Scotch stands as a testament to the artistry of blending. Expert blenders weave together malt and grain whiskies from different distilleries, creating a seamless mixture of flavours. This process ensures both consistency and a wider spectrum of tastes, making it an accessible choice for diverse palates.
Irish Whiskey
Across the Irish Sea, a unique whiskey story emerges, characterised by triple distillation and exceptional smoothness. Irish whiskey captures a graceful sophistication that's clear in these timeless styles.
Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Echoing Scotch whisky, Ireland crafts single malt whiskies with a lighter touch, allowing for more delicate notes when tasted.
Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Rooted in Irish history, this style blends malted and unmalted barley, creating a textured mix of flavours.
Blended Irish Whiskey
A balanced fusion of different whiskey types, blended Irish whiskey offers an accessible whiskey, especially for whiskey beginners, that's perfect for cocktails or drinking neat.
American Whiskey
Across the Atlantic, America's whiskey legacy thrives. From corn to rye, American whiskey stands as a symbol of pioneering spirit, with a landscape shaped by distinctive styles.
Bourbon
Born in the South, bourbon embodies American tradition. A sweet mix of corn and charred oak, it captures the essence of its birthplace.
Rye Whiskey
Offering a bolder, spicier profile, rye whiskey showcases the diversity of American whiskey-making. With a minimum rye content of 51%, it's a nod to history and innovation.
Tennessee Whiskey
Distinguished by the Lincoln County Process, Tennessee whiskey gains a mellower character through charcoal filtering, an identity rooted in the Smoky Mountains along the Tennessee and North Carolina border.
Far East Whisky
The Far East, renowned for precision and subtlety, has carved its niche in the whisky realm. Japan, in particular, has gained international acclaim for the meticulous craftsmanship of its whisky.
Japanese whisky strikes a balance between tradition and innovation, resulting in a whisky that presents delicate flavours.
English Whisky
In the heart of England, a whisky renaissance is underway. Whisky production in England has had a welcomed resurgence, yielding whiskies that echo the land's rich history.
English whisky reflects a broad spectrum of styles and regions, often drawing inspiration from its Scottish and Irish counterparts. The result is an exciting array of whiskies that marry innovation with tradition.

Whisky Blend Tácnbora
