Founded in 1885, the Orkney distillery Scapa was closed for many years. In 2004, the whisky distillery was renovated at a cost of several million pounds and malt whisky has been continuously produced there again since 2005. The Signature Series consists of three bottlings that shine in a modern and fresh design with a maritime colour scheme. The bottles are also more reminiscent of decanters than typically shaped bottles. The 10-year-old Scapa has been matured in American white oak casks and reflects the untamed beauty of the Scottish coast in terms of flavour.

The Glen Scotia First Fill Ruby Port Cask was matured for 9.5 years in first fill bourbon casks and received a 6 month finish in first fill Ruby Port hogsheads. For harmonisation, the Single Malt was left to rest for a month in refill bourbon casks. The bouquet and Taste are influenced by this cask finish and offer fruity, floral facets. A subtle and balanced chocolate note in the finish rounds off this Single Malt. The 10-year-old was neither chill-filtered nor coloured and bottled at 46% exclusively for Whisky.de. Glen Scotia is one of three still active distilleries in Campbeltown. The elegant bottle comes in a slim tube. Exclusively for CLUB members! This item is reserved for our club customers. If there is sufficient stock, it will still go on sale to the general public.

Torabhaig is the first new distillery on the Isle of Skye to produce Single Malts in 190 years. For the distillery buildings, independent bottler Mossburn Distillers rebuilt an old farmhouse. The stones were used at the time, around 1820, to extend the existing farming property into a homestead. The second bottling in the Legacy Series, Allt Gleann, was distilled and casked between 2017 and 2018 and consists of no more than 30 casks.

Glen Scotia Double Cask belongs to the distillery's new series. The finish in sherry casks gives the whisky even more sweet notes. The Glen Scotia distillery was founded in Campbeltown in 1832. By using traditional copper stills, the fruit and spice aromas typical of Glen Scotia are created.

The 12-year-old Jura is also part of the island distillery's core range and is unique, enriching and enjoyable. It was produced in the exceptionally high stills. The Single Malt was matured in former American white oak bourbon barrels, making it the flagship of Jura's fruity and balanced house style. With flavours of peach, tangy citrus and lightly toasted walnut, Jura 12 Year Old is an uncomplicated whisky that invites you to enjoy and share with friends or like-minded people at 40% vol.

Scapa Glansa is the first slightly smoky bottling. For this, the malt was post-matured in casks that previously contained smoky whisky. There are only a few bottlings from the Scapa distillery.

The 18-year-old Ledaig was aged in oak casks and matured in Spanish sherry casks. The limited edition was bottled in small batches.

Talisker The Wild Blue from the Isle of Skye distillery is the first bottling to be fully matured in Atlanic Coastal Wine Casks. The South African red wine casks were selected along the coastal regions of the Atlantic and give the Talisker whisky intense fruit flavours with maritime accents and gentle iodine notes. The Wild Blue Single Malt combines the highest level of craftsmanship with a strong commitment to marine conservation, which the Talisker Distillery is committed to together with the organisation The Blue Marine Foundation. Bottled in a bottle made from 100% recycled glass, this special whisky symbolises the preservation of marine habitats. For every bottle sold, £3 (around €3.51) is donated directly to projects to restore ecosystems on the Atlantic coasts. In this way, in addition to enjoying exquisite whisky, you can make a significant contribution to the protection and regeneration of coastal flora and fauna. A good cause all round and not only attractive for collectors.

The Jura Bourbon Cask is the new version of the Jura Journey and matured in former American white oak Bourbon casks. The Jura distillery produces an impressive 2.5 million litres of alcohol per year. A large part of this is sold as Single Malt Whisky. The water used for production comes from Loch a'Bhaile Mhargaidh, which is also located on the island of Jura.

For Highlands Park Viking Pride, Gordon Motion carefully selected up to 120 casks that had been aged for 18 years or more in European sherry casks. The Single Malt was bottled with a higher alcohol content than the 18-year-old standard.

Hebridean Journey is part of Hunter Laing's Journey Series. Four Blended Malts each capture the Taste whisky character of the Scottish whisky regions Campbeltown, Islay, Highlands and Islands, or Hebrides. The four bottles also visually reflect their respective regions.

The Hearach is the first Single Malt from the Isle of Harris distillery, which was previously known for the Isle of Harris Gin. Great emphasis is placed on craftsmanship during production, which is carefully carried out by a young team of local distillers, from the first nosing to the manual operation of steam valves. The soft water used for 'The Hearach' comes from the rainwater stream Abhainn Cnoc a 'Charrain, which runs over one of the oldest rocks on earth and has a low mineral content. The oceanic climate on the island is favoured by the currents of the Gulf Stream. This system keeps the seasonal temperatures remarkably stable, which benefits the ripening process.
