Since 1824, The Glenlivet distillery in Sepyside, Scotland, has produced one of the most famous malts in the world – The Glenlivet 12 Year. This Speyside single malt Scotch whisky boasts a delicate balance of sweet summer fruits and spring flowers. You will also notice aromas of pineapple, pear, toasted cereal and honey, the latter of which shows up again on the finish. The Glenlivet distilled in pots that still use 100 percent malted barley. It is then aged in traditional European and bourbon-seasoned American oak casks to bring forth the delectable flavors. Despite being produced in Scotland, The Glenlivet is the bestselling malt whisky in the United States. It is also the second-best single malt in the world, so you know you're buying the good stuff! No other malt whisky has the legendary status enjoyed by The Glenlivet 12 Year. Its smooth character and tropical fruity notes make it a first-class malt, along with the mineral-rich spring water drawn from the distillery's historic well. So, what does "single malt" mean, anyway? Single malt whisky is simply a malted whisky that has been made from a single distillery. As for the malted part, the whisky is made using malted grains as opposed to unmalted ones. According to Scotch Whisky Regulations, single malt Scotch whisky must be made with malted barley, distilled in a single distillery using pot stills and aged for at least three years. The Glenlivet, being a 12-year Scotch, is aged for 12. It's also a Speyside single malt Scotch, which means that it's produced in the River Spey region in northeastern Scotland. The Glenlivet 12 Year is a vibrant gold hue with a summery nose. Since its palate is well balanced with forward tropical fruit notes, it's best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a little water added. At the finish, you'll savor a smooth creaminess with hints of fresh hazelnuts and marzipan. Pair The Glenlivet with seafood dishes, such as seared scallops, to bring out the best characteristics in both. Even if you've never tasted a malt whisky before, The Glenlivet will make anyone a fan.

Crafted from one of the oldest and most legendary distilleries in Scotland, Oban 14 Year Single Malt is expertly aged in the traditional fashion. Thanks to founders John and Hugh Stevenson setting up their brewery — and ultimately the Oban Distillery — in the 1790s, the once-sleepy port city of Oban became a bustling seaside resort in the West Highlands. The distillery remained in the family for nearly a century before J. Walter Higgin purchased and renovated it. Now, more than 100 years later, the Oban Distillery remains essentially unchanged since Higgin's refurbishment. You simply won't find a more authentic Scotch whisky than Oban. Oban 14 Year Single Malt is crafted with 100-percent barley to the distillery's exact specifications, which includes fermenting the malted barley in small-batch, lantern-shaped copper stills before aging the scotch in oak casks. During its rest, the whisky is shaped by the surrounding environment, which consists of warm, salty Gulf Stream air and a temperate climate. The result is a full-bodied, extremely dry scotch with notes of honey and dried figs, which lead to a soft, oaky finish. Wondering how you should drink Oban 14 Year Single Malt? Enjoy it neat or on the rocks. The drink has a sweet, rich aroma with hints of citrus, pears, seaweed, ropes and sea salt with a slight peatiness. The long finish culminates with dry oak and fruit. You can also add a drop of water and swirl it around to note its oily characteristics and bring out the smoothness.

Inspired by our legendary founder George Smith, this whisky is an expression of both tradition and innovation. Its creamy sweetness originates from the selective use of first-fill American oak casks, still so full of the Bourbon character their previous occupants left behind, and complemented by traditional oak casks.

The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old is an iconic single malt Scotch whisky born of The Macallan’s unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and spirit.

A meticulous distilling process and insistence on only the finest ingredients ensure that every sip of The Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old provides unparalleled depth and complexity.

The Glenlivet 15 Year Old gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. In fact, The Glenlivet were one of the first to use French oak for making whisky, a technique that has since been imitated the world over. The Limousin oak used is cut in France’s Dordogne region, where it’s often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows whisky to sink deep into the wood, and The Glenlivet distillers carefully control how long the whisky matures in the casks so as not to overpower the desired result: a unique, pleasing spiciness.

The Aberlour 12 year-old expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour’s raw spirit is deftly softened by double cask maturation. Traditional oak and seasoned Sherry butts are both used to great effect, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour.

In the palate it has a medium body, rounded, and a somewhat viscous. With a fruity flavor and notes of tangerine, caramel, cocoa, and a touch of peat. Its finish is big and smooth with long notes of sour and dry orange. This is a whisky that is one step beyond the conventional, mainstream offerings and a more interesting choice than the classic malts commonly available. Longer fermentation for honeyed richness, Aberfeldy® whiskies are produced using a long fermentation, up to 70 hours, which gives them a rich, honeyed and fruity flavor long established as the house style.

The Dalmores dynamic and varied fledgling spirit benefits from longer than tuypical maturation 12 years, instead of the more regular 10.

Dark amber in color, Oban Little Bay has a rich and vibrant malty nose with dried apple, dried plums, caramel, honey, allspice, and oak. There’s a solid balance between the rich and spicy characteristics. The entry is very flavorful and expressive, matching the nose quite well with toasted malt, green apple, dried apricot, salt, chocolate, and orange peel. In the midpalate the real impact of the small cask finish is quite apparent as the spice elements noticeably increase with clove and oak without abandoning the sweet dried fruit underneath. After the peak of the midpalate, Oban Little Bay backs off quite a bit for a lightly acidic and slightly spicy finish. It’s a fairly light and slightly dry finish that ends fairly clean.
