Scotch Whisky Tasting Collection

6 Scotch Whiskies

Selected by Tasting Collection.

Balvenie, 12 Y - Doublewood

Speyside

This distillery grows its own barley, has its own malt floor, coopers and coppersmith for the care of the casks and boilers and is the longest active malt master in the industry. Balvenie 12 Y DoubleWood is a classic Speyside, matured in bourbon casks for 10 years and finished for 2 years in Oloroso sherry casks. The aging in bourbon casks gives the whisky the traditional smooth flavor and the sherry casks adds the strength and depth of flavor to it.

Glenfiddich, 15 Y

Speyside

The Glenfiddich Solera system is unique among Scotch whisky distillers. This 15 year old Single Malt comes from 3 types of barrels, Bourbon, Sherry barrels and new oak, and is 'married' in a large Solera cask, made of pine wood from Oregon. The barrel is always kept half full, so that the quality of the topped whisky remains constant. Before bottling, this beautifully balanced single malt is left to settle in a small 'Solera Tun'.

Knockando, 12 Y

Speyside

The Knockando distillery (1898) is located on the river Spey. Knockandu does not bottle at a predetermined age, but only when the right maturity has been reached. The distillation date is indicated on the bottle. For the aging process, Bourbon casks and a small proportion of Sherry casks are used. The proportion of Sherry casks is limited so that they do not predominate in the taste. Only natural ingredients are used. The end result is a subtle, fruity single malt that has all the characteristics of the best Speyside malts.

Edradour, 12 Y - Caledonia

Highlands

Edradour produces, with the 3 men who work there, the amount of whisky in a year that other distilleries produce in one week. Therefore the whisky is called "The Hand Made Malt". This Caladonia was personally selected by Douglas Maclean, the famous Scottish singer, and is named after his famous song. This single malt has been given a finish of 4 years in Oloroso casks.

Islands

Ledaig is produced in The Tobermory distillery, the only distillery on the island of Mull, and is located in the harbor town of Tobermory on the rugged west coast of Scotland. This whisky is aged 10 years in oak barrels in ancient cellars, without any outside influence. The Lochan source, high in the mountains, makes for particularly aromatic water. Along with malted barley, which is specially dried with peat, the result is this smoky, peaty single malt.
