The second bottle in the Rosebank Roses series is Innocence, an intensely aromatic and utterly enchanting single malt with notes of honeysuckle, sweet cream, pear and rose petals. Bottled from a small number of casks, some of the last from this closed distillery, this is a beautiful dram and an essential part of any Rosebank collection.
The Rosebank Roses series has been created by Elixir Distillers, which previously operated under the name Speciality Drinks Ltd.
The name Spios, which is Scots Gaelic for 'spice', beautifully evokes this whisky's origins: it has been matured solely in casks that previously held American rye whiskey, a spirit known for its distinctive, spicy characteristics. Spios has a herbal nose and a rich, spicy palate, followed by a long, sweet finish.
Glenmorangie Spios is the ninth limited edition bottling in the distillery's Private Edition series, and the first single malt to have ever been entirely matured in American rye whiskey casks.
The oldest and rarest single malt ever released by Loch Lomond Distillery. Bottled from a single cask, which was filled the year after Loch Lomond fired up its unique straight-neck pot stills for the first time, this edition of just 60 decanters represents a remarkable piece of whisky history.
The fruity, sweet and spicy single malt is housed in a hand-blown crystal decanter, which sits within The Tempest Chest: a stunning, solid oak display case that has been hand-crafted to resemble Loch Lomond's water at twilight. Also included in the chest is a solid brass miniature of whisky, lined in glass, which echoes the shape of those unique stills.
Connemara's Distillers Edition is a superb example of lightly peated Irish whiskey. A superb alternative to an Islay malt with an earthier style of peating.

A rounded, fruity and creamy Tamnavulin 25 Year Old, with notes of apples, sultanas, oatcake, caramel and coffee. The finish is juicy and focuses on the caramel, fruity and chocolate. Only 124 bottles of this delicious single-cask dram, bottled by Elixir Distillers, are available.

This single malt has spent its decade in a first-fill oloroso sherry cask, and offers rich notes of dark fruits, allspice, liquorice and cinnamon.
A single-cask 14-year-old single malt from Edradour. Sherry-aging has given this dram notes of honey, cloves, raisins, toffee and dark fruit. A long, warming sherry finish.

The second release in a series that allows Wild Turkey's Master Distiller Eddie Russell to step outside the brand's normal flavour profiles.

It also comes with a pair of tasting glasses and a booklet. This should be rich and oily, with notes of orange, oak and milk chocolate.
