Like the Reach, Clynelish is positioned among green pastures and rolling hills, with scenic views of the North Sea. The fruity, waxy and sea-spicy flavours of this single malt are said to come from the water of Clynemilton burn, which runs over seams of gold in the rock. And while this vibrant, golden, Scotch is light and floral, like House Tyrell, it’s not to be underestimated with its underlying complex combination of Highland and maritime qualities.
Smooth, fruity and incredibly moreish! Fresh green apples, toffee and a hint of nuttiness. This is the taste of distilling slower than anyone else in Scotland, of barley dried by air – never peat – and of hand-selected sherry casks crafted from European and American oak.
The Macallan Amber forms part of the 1824 Series which exemplifies Macallan’s commitment to 100% natural colour, present in each and every Macallan single malt. A warmth of amber colour with notes of vanilla and citrus fruits.

‘The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 Years Old’ forms part of Macallan’s Triple Cask Matured range; a series of single malt whiskies crafted in a triple cask combination of European and American sherry seasoned oak casks and American ex-bourbon oak casks.

Oban sits beneath the steep cliff that overlooks the bay in the frontier between the west Highlands and the Islands, separating land and sea, just as Castle Black sits between Westeros and what’s beyond The Wall. This liquid’s richness is balanced with a woody, spicy, dryness that could undoubtedly keep The Night’s Watch warm on even the coldest of nights.
Royal Lochnagar also boasts royal lineage. Originally called New Lochnagar, it was renamed after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the distillery and granted a Royal Warrant to John Begg in 1848. Since then, it has been praised by monarchs, rightfully earning its moniker. Balanced with delicate fruits and spices, this taste of royalty is best enjoyed neat.
The Macallan Double Cask Gold forms part of Macallan’s Double Cask range which marries the classic Macallan style and the unmistakable sweetness of American oak. Light citrus notes and boiled sweets that dominate the palate before giving way to cinnamon, ginger and toasted apples.
