£35 - £80


Balblair 2001 Automatic entry ABV 46% REGION Highland “The winner of the readers’ panel and silver in the summer challenge, the Balblair smells of peach infused toffee, spice and sweet, wet oak. Tastes of fl oral perfume, fruit syrup and vanilla toffee.”


Laphroaig Triple Wood


Automatic entry ABV 48% REGION Islay “Laphroaig was the winner of this category in the summer challenge. Pale amber, light sweetness and coal soot in the taste.”


Robbie Douglas North British 21yo Single Grain Nominated by Mark Connelly ABV 56.8% REGION Lowlands “Single grains are still the undiscovered gems of the whisky world, despite more and more being bottled and sold. The better ones are generally over 30 years old but this ‘youngster’ is a cracker.”


The Hive


Automatic entry ABV 40% REGION Blend “This blend came joint 3rd in our readers’ panel. It has a slightly smokey nose, an autumn breeze and vanilla.”
