Introducing Special Releases 2022 'Elusive Expressions', a hand-picked collection of eight exquisite Scotch Whiskies, each inspired by the stories of mythological and mysterious creatures, pushing the boundaries of flavour. 

The 2022 collection truly redefines what cask-strength whiskies can be. From abundantly rich, to strikingly rare flavours, each one is vividly brought to life with new energy. Some of our oldest whisky dynasties make an appearance and we've chosen to embrace the direct contrasts that exist within the collection, delivering a twist on a whisky's flavour profile with the unexpected.

This Elusive Expressions Collection includes:

1x Mortlach 700mL
1x The Singleton of Glen Ord 15YO 700mL

1x Clynelish 12YO 700mL
1x Cardhu 16YO 700mL
1x Talisker 11YO 700mL
1x Oban 10YO 700mL
1x Lagavulin 12YO 700mL
1x Cameron Bridge 26YO 700mL

Tasting Notes

Mortlach | 57.8% ABV

 

Finished in Tawny Port and Red Muscato casks, a deliciously rich expression of Mortlach’s dark, meaty character that draws sweetness, darkness, and depth together in a mystical, intensely fruity union.

 

The Singleton of Glen Ord | 15 Year Old | 54.2% ABV

 

Extended secondary maturation in wine casks, a mesmerising malt, in which beguiling, subtle wine-fruit notes entwine seductively with the layered, smooth, and rich distillery character.

 

Clynelish | 12 Year Old | 58.5% ABV

 

Double matured in PX Oloroso Sherry casks, a bright sweet fruitiness combines with intense oakiness to create a Clynelish of radiant sweet spicy intensity.

 

Cardhu | 16 Year Old | 58% ABV

 

Jamaican Pot Still Rum cask finish, light on its feet, lush and sweet while also lively and fresh, with a surprisingly spicy, peppery finish, so making an especially exotic apéritif malt.


Talisker | 11 Year Old | 55.1% ABV

 

First-fill ex-bourbon casks gift layers of flavour; a luminous spiced sweetness bathes storm-tossed notes of smoke and sea in its irresistible glow.

 

Oban | 10 Year Old | 57.1% ABV


Double matured in ex-Sherry and Amontillado-seasoned Sherry casks, a celestial marriage of creamy smoothness, richly sweet fruitiness, light smoke, salt, and peppery spice.
 

Lagavulin | 12 Year Old | 57.3% ABV

 

An elemental Lagavulin from Virgin Oak casks and our smokiest reserves, in which rich, peaty casks lead saltiness, spice and smoke on their eternal dance with deep sweetness.

 

Cameron Bridge | 26 Year Old | 56.2%

 

Exclusively refill casks, an urbane yet determined; sweet and smooth on the surface, but with hot spices bubbling away beneath; quite delicious.
