PENDERYN MALT MADEIRA CASK FINISH


41.40 46


The Gold Medal award-winning single malt whisky from the only distillery in Wales. This unique single malt whisky is distilled in a unique copper pot still, matured in bourbon barrels, finished in Madeira casks and bottled at premium strength to impart a generous flavour of subtle complexity.


NOSE: Classic freshness with aromas of cream toffee, rich fruit and raisins.


PALATE: Crisp and finely rounded, with the sweetness to balance an appetising dryness.


FINISH: Notes of tropical fruit, raisins and vanilla persist.


BUSHMILLS 21 YEAR OLD


133 40


A mix of bourbon and sherry casks are used to mature this Irish whiskey for 19 years, with the last two years being spent finishing in ex-Madeira casks. This is the top of Bushmills’ regular range and is produced in limited numbers, with each bottle numbered.


NOSE: Caramelised toffee and dark chocolate.


PALATE: Wow! Rich raisins and fruity notes that cling to the palate.


FINISH: A burst of mint that ends in an intense liquorice finale.


THE ENGLISH WHISKY CO. CHAPTER 11


39.99 46


Produced in Roudham, Norfolk, this three-year- old whisky is matured in American bourbon oak casks with no colour or flavour added.


NOSE: Sweet and creamy with hints of ginger, aniseed, white pepper, vanilla and pear drops.


PALATE: Creamy and clean barley at first, then peat. Sandpaper slowly builds and fills every corner of the mouth without overpowering.


FINISH: Savoury dry peat, then tropical fruits – pineapple and mango.
