Nominees


Big Peat Christmas Nominated by Robin Russell ABV 53.6% REGION Islay “Ignore the Christmas packaging, this is a dram worth investigating. Islay blended malt from Ardbeg, Caol ILa, Bowmore and an all time favourite – Port Ellen. Zingy peat with hints of citrus and ginger, burnt buttery toast with honey.”


G&M Exclusive Speyburn 50% Nominated by Mark Angus ABV 50% REGION Speyside “This single cask bottling was selected at a special Spirit Of Speyside Whisky Festival tasting, held at the Gordon and MacPhail retail shop earlier this year. The exclusivity is undeniable; only 249 bottles were produced.”


Arran Devil’s Punchbowl Nominated by Duncan Ralph ABV 52.3% REGION Island “Here we have casks from 6 to 16, European and American wood, and peated as well as unpeated spirit. The sherry casks come through straightaway on the nose and the peat is not medicinal, more earthy.”


Vintage 2006 Release


Automatic entry ABV 46% REGION Islay “The Vintage release from Kilchoman is a pale gold in colour with lots of peat and wood smoke on the nose. It came third in the summer challenge in this category.”
