Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from the Isles – Rum Cask FinishArtist: Archibald Dunbar McIntosh RSW RGI – “Sea Legend” Clan McCallum have their roots in the islands of the west coast of Scotland where one can find these special whisky flavours of salty smoked aromas, haddock, citrus fruit and light peat. Archibald shows in his painting all of these elements, the ports, the distilleries, peat, the sea, the fruit and the algae. All of the character from the islands and from the land.

"FRESH & EXPRESSIVE GIN" A Gin of great freshness, lemony with an explosivity in the mouth.
Produced from 100% French malted barley. Double distilled in the Charentais abysses of the Merlet distillery, then matured in association with new and old French oak barrels. The result is a delicious, round, fruity and floral whisky with spicy notes. "Coperies" means "harvest" in an ancient local French dialect.
Finished in Californian red wine and ex bourbon casks, Bladnoch Samsara Single Malt is luscious, full bodied and fragrant, with a rich, lingering core.
Our malt is crafted slowly and is matured at the distillery in traditional dunnage warehouses on earthen floors. We're proud of our heritage and have used traditional methods since we rolled our first barrels back in 1790. And yet we're not afraid to tinker with tradition if it serves to improve our product. Our single malt is the perfect mix of nature and nurture and we believe in quality above all else.
There is no more Irish whiskey than Pot Still; thus, Glendalough Distillery feels it is fitting to age it in Irish Oak. Glendalough Distillery is proud to play its part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making. This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.
