STYLES THAT STAND OUT

Whisky collections contain an assortment of specific flavour profiles, tones and origin stories. Spirits can range from full bodied and smoky to light and floral, with everything in between. If you’re wondering how to start a whisky collection, we have outlined some stand out styles that will give you a great start.

DEEPLY COMPLEX

Searching for a whisky with rich and deep tones? The Mortlach 20 year old is a prized addition to any collection. This complex spirit is still made using a curious 2.81 times distillation method. Referred to as “the beast of Dufftown” the whisky uses European oak which results in wonderful stone fruit flavours.

LUSCIOUS, LIGHT AND FRUITY

Seeking a lighter style of whisky? The Dalwhinnie is the perfect introduction to the world of Single Malts. Coming from the highest distillery in Scotland (1,164 ft above sea level), it draws its water from the nearby Lochan-Doire-Uaine. This is an excellent drinker with no smoke and an abundance of fruits.
