Crafted whiskies with deep woody notes. These whiskies have been matured in more than one cask! The process gives them their rich sultry flavours. Take your dram, slide into a couch, turn on some jazz, and enjoy that exotic lounge moment.

Balvenie is the only Scottish distillery that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings, and stations a coppersmith and coppers on-site to keep their pots and barrels in tip-top condition. Talk about dedication!
Like the old soul they are, scotch whiskies are commonly aged in recycled bourbon or Tennessee barrels and finished in casks previously used for wine like sherry or port.
A romantic with all its sweetness and delicate complexities in a single dram.
This distinctive character of the Balvenie DoubleWood comes from being aged in two different types of oak wood. It spends 12 years maturing in traditional American oak ex-bourbon barrels, giving the whisky its supple sweetness, and nine years in Spanish oak ex-oloroso sherry casks, adding depth.
The entire process culminates when the whiskies are transferred into tuns, or large oak vessels, for about four months to marry the flavours to perfection. This iconic whisky is one to love!

Take a guess: how many bottles of scotch does Scotland export annually?
More than 1 billion! It’s no wonder Scotland is crowned the biggest whisky producer in the world.
Matured in good wood, but make it three! This Lowland triple-distilled whisky is smooth like butter. It draws its suave character from three types of casks: the mellow bourbon, nutty and fruity oloroso sherry, and the extra sweet Pedro Ximénez. It’s triple the goodness!

Did you know that the cask matters? Each type produces a different set of flavours and complexities. It practically defines the whisky’s tasting profile.
For example, the American bourbon offers creamy vanilla and caramel-like sweetness and turns the whisky gold. The oloroso sherry forms a dark nutty profile, while Pedro Ximénez adds sweetness, much like syrup. When distilleries use a mix and match, they give the whisky a deep satisfying depth.
A classic scotch from one of the finest distilleries in the Highlands. This Tomatin is like a granny who still has it. She is sweet and likes to bake despite being aged in ex-bourbon casks for more than a decade. She then spent six to nine months in oloroso sherry casks to gather some of that rich currants and nuts before being bottled for distribution.
