Grant’s ale cask reserve has been created using the expertise and passion for whisky of independent family distiller William Grant & Sons. It is a blend of the finest Scotch whiskies finished in specially selected casks that previously contained traditionally brewed Edinburgh strong ale. The ale casks imbue the whisky with a distinctively soft and creamy taste, silky smooth texture and a long honeyed finish. scottish whisky

Described in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2006 as ‘A big, sweet, chunky, gawky, grainlashed but hugely enjoyable blend.’ Pigs Nose is an exceptionally fine five year old blended whisky, created by Richard Patterson, Scotland’s only third generation master blender as a companion for Sheep Dip – for week days but not for the Christmas Cake. The blend contains a high percentage (40%) of malt whiskies, principally from Speyside imbuing the product with their characteristic softness; the name comes from the farming expression ’soft as a pig’s nose.’ Colour: Rich, golden copper highlights. Nose: Delicate and refined. Soft sensual floral notes arise in perfect harmony supported by an attractive array of complex fruit flavours. Melon, pear and orange with a hint of almonds conclude this profusion of charming nuances. Taste: Finesse and elegance gives way to a majestic assertion of pure malty flavours drawn from the four distilling regions of Scotland. Each area forges and makes its own inimitable contribution to this outstanding pure malt – the main accent being expressed from the Highlands and Speyside Valleys. scottish whisky

A legendary night with friends in New Orleans. The excitement and vibrancy of New Orleans is what attracted bartender Martin Wilkes Heron. In 1874, he decided that the home of Mardi Gras deserved a smoother alternative to the harsh whiskies from Kentucky and Tennessee. By adding a secret blend of fruits and spices, he struck upon the perfect combination – Southern Comfort. Later, in 1900, Southern Comfort picked up a Gold Medal for quality and taste at the Paris World Exposition. Another followed four years later at the St Louis World Fair. Today, New Orleans wouldn’t be the same without Southern Comfort. Best enjoyed with lime and lemonade, its distinctive taste is shared by friends on great nights. No wonder Southern Comfort’s the drink at the heart of Mardi Gras – the best party in the world.

Colour: Deep, golden, glossy mahogany. Nose: Rich and refined, luscious malty tones and velvety textures flaunt themselves in perfect harmony. A truly noble bouquet with just a hint of oloroso sherry lingers gently in the background. Taste: Time is required to arouse these complex, attractive flavours on the palate – just like a fine wine it begins to assert itself. Round and mellow. Silky, soft tones dance on the tongue – each step echoes the excellence of this blend. Every individual malt and grain whisky displays a perfect balance throughout – age has moulded this quality blend into an old luxury. scottish whisky
