Edradour 10 Year Old
Edradour · Edradour Distillery
Edradour is often called Scotland's smallest traditional distillery, and its 10 Year proves that limited scale can produce outsized character. It's an approachable Highland malt with hidden layers that reward a slow pour.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Honeyed malt and dried fruit open gently, with a subtle thread of almond and vanilla beneath. A faint clove spice sharpens the edges after a few minutes in the glass.
Palate
Creamy and buttery at entry, moving into a surprisingly complex mid-palate of cocoa, peach, and toasted wood. The body is medium but there's a persistence that belies its modest proof.
Finish
Warm and malty with dried fruit and a quiet earthy note that lingers longer than expected.

Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin
Whitley Neill
Whitley Neill's Blood Orange expression works because it respects the gin beneath the flavoring. The blood orange is vivid without being syrupy, and the juniper-forward base keeps it honest. It's a gin that makes a spectacular spritz but doesn't embarrass itself neat — a rare feat in the flavored gin category.
Rhum Clément Cuvée Homère Rhum Agricole Vieux
Rhum Clément
Cuvée Homère is Clément's tribute to founder Homère Clément, and it showcases what extended aging does to quality rhum agricole. The cane character remains at the foundation, but the oak and oxidative aging add layers that rival fine cognac in complexity. This is a sipping rum that demands — and rewards — your full attention.
G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe DOCG 2019
G.D. Vajra
Vajra's Albe bottling is the entry point to the estate's Barolo range, sourced from younger vines across multiple village plots. It delivers textbook Nebbiolo character — roses, tar, cherry — at a price that makes it one of the best introductions to Barolo available. Give it a thirty-minute decant and watch it bloom.
Domaine Weinbach Riesling Réserve Personnelle 2023
Domaine Weinbach
The Réserve Personnelle is Weinbach's calling card — a wine that captures the Clos des Capucins terroir with clarity and restraint. The 2023 vintage delivers the crystalline precision that makes Alsatian Riesling one of the world's great white wine styles. Hand-harvested, hand-sorted, and vinified with minimal intervention, it's a pure expression of place and practice.
Glen Scotia 18 Year Old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glen Scotia
Glen Scotia is the smallest of Campbeltown's surviving distilleries, and this 18-year-old expression distills the town's singular character — coastal, complex, and unapologetically old-fashioned. The extended maturation adds depth without dulling the maritime edge that makes Campbeltown whisky unmistakable.
Glenfarclas 25 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenfarclas
Glenfarclas remains one of Scotland's great family-owned distilleries, and this 25-year expression shows why they've never needed flash. The sherry influence is perfectly integrated after a quarter century, producing a whisky of rare poise. This is maturity without exhaustion.
Caol Ila 18 Year Old
Caol Ila
Caol Ila's 18 Year is what happens when Islay peat is given time to evolve rather than dominate. It's one of the best arguments for aged peated whisky, showing that smoke can be a supporting character in a story about elegance and restraint.
Benriach The Original Ten Year Old
Benriach
Benriach's ten-year-old is a masterclass in what careful maturation across bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak casks can achieve at a relatively young age. It's not trying to be complex — it's trying to be truthful to its spirit character, and it succeeds beautifully. An ideal introduction to the distillery's range.
