A Pantone Color Institute collaboration with a deep, cask-forward profile to match its signature purple hue. American and European oak, 48.5% ABV.

The Edition series was Macallan's six-year run of annual limited releases, each built around a singular creative theme, each produced once, each retired when the casks ran dry. They are not made anymore. They will not be made again. Bottles still surfacing in 2026 routinely trade above original retail.

This rare release from The Perfect Fifth was distilled at Highland Park on Scotland’s Orkney Islands and matured for 31 years before bottling. Known for its balance of gentle peat smoke, maritime influence, and rich malt character, Highland Park’s spirit develops exceptional depth with extended aging. Bottled at cask strength, this expression highlights the distillery’s ability to marry power and elegance over decades in oak.

Tasting Note:
The nose opens with soft peat smoke, coastal salinity, and honeyed malt. On the palate, layers of smoky sweetness unfold alongside notes of dried fruit, licorice, and warm baking spice, supported by polished oak. The finish is long and warming, lingering with refined smoke, subtle spice, and a quiet sweetness that reflects its long maturation.

The Macallan 1952 – Bottled 2002 (Cask No. 1250)

Distilled in 1952 and bottled in 2002, this extraordinary release from The Macallan represents a rare surviving cask from one of the most revered eras in Scotch whisky history. Matured for half a century and drawn from Cask No. 1250, it stands as a testament to Macallan’s traditional production methods and long-standing commitment to exceptional oak maturation.

Produced at Easter Elchies during the post-war period, decades before modern expansion and luxury repositioning, this whisky reflects a time when Macallan’s identity was defined by small-scale production, long fermentations, and a deeply textural spirit. While the cask type is not specified, the bottling is entirely consistent with Macallan’s classic sherry-led maturation style of the era.

Officially bottled by hand by The Macallan Distillers Ltd, this 1952 vintage is exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Bottlings of this age and provenance are now seldom seen outside of major auctions, making this a remarkable opportunity to acquire a true piece of Macallan history.

Eden Mill, located in Guardbridge near the historic town of St Andrews in Scotland, presents their 2024 edition of the Art of St Andrews series—an annual release that pairs craft whisky-making with local artistry. This edition is matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, finished in first-fill Amarone wine casks from Italy’s Veneto region, and bottled at 46.5% ABV.

Tasting Note:
In the glass it shows a rich copper hue. The nose opens with mulled wine aromas, vivid red fruits, and gentle clove spice, followed by hints of cherry bakewell tart and rum-and-raisin ice cream. On the palate red fruits give way to dark fruits such as blackberry compote and fig jam with a whisper of cracked black pepper. The finish lingers, offering glazed cinnamon bun and glacé cherries with sweet-spicy depth.

Ardnamurchan distillery turned ten in the summer of 2024 and to celebrate this milestone we launched a unique batch of Ardnamurchan 10 Years Old whisky.

This 15,000 bottle batch was made up of 100% first-fill bourbon casks, where roughly half of the batch was subsequently finished, for over one year, in Champagne Paul Lanais barriques.

The spirit is 100% unpeated and bottled at 50% ABV.

Nose: The nose opens with an overtly tropical offering; replete with ripe mangoes, pineapple cubes, lots of honey. There are baked bananas, brown sugar, figs, and wine gums. With time, we go a little deeper into darker tones of crème caramel, toffee, and meringues with white chocolate.

Palate: Oh, hello there, waxiness! The theme of honey continues, backed up by linseed oil, warming spices, gingerbread, fresh pineapple, and cedar. Oily, waxy, showing great depth!

The not so new any longer Ardnamurchan distillery is shaping up to be one of Scotland's most exciting. Every single bottling takes ratchets up the quality to new heights. This extremely delicious 100% Sherry Cask Aged release was drawn from 10 peated sherry butts and 15 unpeated sherry hogsheads aged entirely in Ardnamurchan's warehouses on the rugged western coast of Scotland. The resulting whisky is complex and delicious offering quality that few modern distillers can match. Expect a beautifully balanced bonfire smoke melding with dense nutty sherry. We rarely see such special whisky available, but only 2000 bottles for the entire US, it surely won't be for long.

Created in collaboration with famed whisky writer and master blender, Jim Murray. 

Òran is, unashamedly, an old school blend - one recognizable to whisky lovers in the heyday of blended whisky some 100 years ago. Where the grain and malt contents are created separately but ultimately act as the perfect foil for the other. The objective is delicate complexity and finely tuned balance.I trust that you will find it here.

Maclean's Nose Blended Scotch Whisky, blessed with a splendid West Coast character, offers a unique value proposition. With a high malt content of 70% – a percentage usually associated with much pricier labels – and a considerable proportion drawn from ex-Sherry casks, this whisky delivers premium quality and exceptional flavor at an unbeatable price. Further fortified by its eco-friendly packaging, the whisky is non-chill filtered and displays a natural color, contributing to its authenticity. Holding an ideal 46% ABV, the whisky is part of an initial release of 25,000 bottles, and is now making its mark across the United States. Colored burnished gold, it evokes a delightful surge of burnt citrus peel, sea salt, bonfire, nectarine syrup, and lime marmalade. The palate is taken on a flavourful journey – puffed rice, homemade rice pudding, and citrus, culminating in a whisper of Ferrero Rocher. The lingering taste of burning heather and smoked praline on the finish accentuates its excellent value. Maclean's Nose offers an indulgent Scotch experience that doesn't compromise quality for price.

Our popular single malt is 50:50 unpeated to peated whisky matured in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and combines our signature coastal characteristics with peat, fruit and marshmallows.

This whisky is bottled at 46.8% ABV.

Un-chillfiltered and Natural Colour.

From the producer: "The Hearach is the first, historic single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris, as we revive the distilling traditions lost during the Pabbay clearances of the 1840s. Our dram is the result of a considered conversation between people and place, coming together to create an elegant spirit of complexity and character. The work of our island's men and women intertwines with the natural world to weave together an Outer Hebridean whisky of distinction. Every drop of this new dram is being distilled by local people to produce a special spirit which has been matured, married, and bottled here in this elemental place, and nowhere else. The Hearach is bottled at 46% abv, non-chill filtered, and free from artificial colouring."

This 'teaspooned' whisky is for all intents and purposes mostly the beloved 1989 Balvenie with that tiny amount of Glenlivet added in order to declassify the cask

From the bottler: 

Distillers can be very protective of their hard-won malts, especially those who carry the most prestigious of names. From time to time, they must relinquish the hold on their casks, when one is sold to an independent bottler, for instance. Before spirit changes hands, the distiller - green-eyed and flush with passion - will take a single teaspoon of another distillery’s single malt, and add it to the spirit in the cask. Just a dash it takes, but that whisky can no longer bear the name its distillery of birth.

The distillery of origin is a darling of Dufftown, where nine stout stills produce a spirit rich in fruit and notably honeyed. Her sister, nestled close by in the Moray countryside, is where the ‘teaspoon’ of malt originated. Though nameless, together they are a powerful and stunning pair.

Independent bottlings of spirit distilled at the Balvenie distillery are rarely found on the market, and though the distillery is notable for having experimented with different cask types, this ex-bourbon cask allows the distillery character to sing finely and clearly, while accentuating the sweet vanilla and stone fruit character.

From the bottler:

This venerable whiskey is reminiscent of the Springbank 25 year olds of the early 1990s, and so we believe the cask is one seasoned in the old style, a rare find in today’s market. Characteristic of Campbeltown whiskeys, salt dominates on the nose, followed closely by the rich fruitiness notable in Springbank whiskey, offering up dried apricots and spiced pear. Peaty notes creep up slowly, as the coastal style makes an impact with smoky, chocolate rich notes on the palate. A rich, oily middle and a long finish, the richness complemented by lighter lemon notes and barley sugar.

Produced in Northern Ireland, Bushmills carries a legacy dating back centuries and is distilled from 100% malted barley using traditional triple distillation. This 12-year-old expression is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks and then finished in Marsala wine casks, resulting in a whiskey that blends heritage and innovation.

Tasting Note:
The nose opens with dried fruits, honeyed sweetness and toasted nuts. On the palate you’ll find butterscotch, milk chocolate, toasted almonds and subtle vanilla layered over fruit such as apricot and pear. The finish is smooth and satisfying with a touch of oak spice and lingering nutty warmth.
