A beautifully expressive Loire Valley white, Le Prieuré de Saint-Ceols Menetou-Salon 2020 captures the purity and elegance that make Sauvignon Blanc from this appellation so sought after. Crafted with precision in the heart of Menetou-Salon, this vintage offers a finely balanced profile of freshness, minerality, and subtle complexity.
The nose opens with bright citrus aromas – lemon zest and grapefruit – layered with notes of green apple, white peach, and a gentle herbal lift. On the palate, the wine is crisp and vibrant, delivering clean, refreshing acidity alongside flavours of lime, gooseberry, and a delicate flinty minerality that reflects the region’s limestone-rich soils.
Elegant and refined, this is a versatile Sauvignon Blanc that pairs beautifully with seafood, goat’s cheese, fresh salads, or light poultry dishes, while its mineral edge makes it a superb choice as an aperitif.
A bold, approachable Argentine red crafted from hand-selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Mendoza’s sun-drenched vineyards. The 2018 vintage shows excellent balance, depth, and maturity, offering exceptional value for those who enjoy richly flavoured New World Cabernet.
On the nose, expect inviting aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and subtle cherry, lifted by hints of cedar and warm spice from its gentle ageing in oak. The palate is smooth and rounded, delivering layers of dark fruit, soft tannins, and a touch of vanilla, framed by a pleasing freshness that keeps the wine lively and food-friendly.
This is a versatile Cabernet perfect for pairing with grilled meats, roast lamb, tomato-based dishes, or mature cheeses – or simply enjoyed on its own.
Deep and intensely fruity but effortlessly smooth, Highland Park 18 is our most highly awarded (and dearly beloved) whisky, and for good reason. With a natural glowing amber colour straight from the cask, it’s a multi-layered whisky with many stories to tell—just like the people who make it.
A fan favourite for a reason. Rich, fruity, caramelised sweetness on the nose, followed by finely balanced notes of orange zest, dark chocolate and aromatic smoke from our Orkney heathered peat on the palate. The finish is lingering, sweet and spicy with slightly nutty notes.
After 18 years of patient pursuit, 18 years of absorbing and evolving, the crisp and fruity spirit from Glenrothes is enriched. The unexpected begins to emerge. What had been simple, becomes more subtle. Deeper dimensions unfurl and linger. A richly rounded flavour blooms.
Aroma
Ripe pear and sweet vanilla pods, tempered by aromatic orange oil. Invigorating almond notes and a well-rounded fragrance add complexity, whilst a hint of dried ginger spice creates unassuming depth.
Taste
A rich and deep flavour, alive with sweet ginger, pear and rose water. Aromatic fruit and light oak create gentle spice, which balances nicely against an undercurrent of creamy vanilla.
Finish
Divine sweetness balanced with spice and a gently peppery undertone.
This exceptionally limited release from Ben Nevis was distilled in 2000 and drawn from a single bourbon hogshead, cask #1002, which yielded just 311 bottles in total. With only one cask ever produced for this bottling, its scarcity is immediately apparent, making it a highly sought-after expression for collectors of Highland whisky.
After 22 years of slow maturation, the spirit developed a refined profile that balances fresh orchard fruits and honeyed sweetness with gentle oak spice, but the defining feature of this release is its purity and rarity: bottled at 46.2%, with no chill-filtration and no added colour, it presents the spirit exactly as the distillery intended.
Single-cask Ben Nevis bottlings of this age are now extremely uncommon, and with only a few hundred bottles ever made available worldwide, this is a whisky that highlights both the quality of the distillate and the exclusivity of the release. Once these few bottles are gone, there will never be another cask quite like it.
Distilled on the Isle of Mull in 1995 and matured for 27 years in a single bourbon hogshead, cask #1976, this Tobermory release stands among the island’s most scarce long-aged expressions. The cask yielded just 294 bottles, each one representing a piece of Tobermory’s older stock — something that is becoming increasingly hard to source as demand continues to rise.
Bottled at a powerful natural cask strength of 53.4% and left unfiltered and uncoloured, this whisky captures the distillery’s trademark fruitiness and coastal brightness, enriched by decades of slow maturation. The combination of age, single-cask status and restricted outturn makes this a highly desirable release for collectors of island malts. With fewer than 300 bottles ever produced and no possibility of recreating this exact cask profile, this is a whisky defined not only by its flavour but by its genuine scarcity and one-off nature.
This distinguished 33-year-old Aberlour originates from a single bourbon hogshead, cask #3651, filled in 1989 and left to mature for more than three decades before being bottled in an extremely limited run of just 192 bottles.
Long-aged single-cask Aberlour is increasingly rare in the market, and the fact that this whisky comes from a lone cask makes it particularly special. When the final bottle is opened, the cask’s character is lost forever. Bottled at 42.4% without chill filtration or added colour, this release represents Aberlour at its most elegant: fruit-driven, softly spiced and wonderfully mature. The limited production not only enhances its collectability but firmly positions it as a unique piece of Speyside whisky history.
From the silent Imperial Distillery, this 33-year-old single malt is an extraordinarily rare snapshot of a lost Speyside producer. Distilled in 1989 and matured in cask #2069, a single bourbon barrel, it produced an exceptionally small outturn of just 107 individually numbered bottles — a number that underlines just how scarce whisky from Imperial has become since its closure.
Now long demolished, Imperial cannot produce another drop, and each remaining cask grows more valuable and more limited every year. This release, bottled at its natural cask strength of 51.3% and left uncoloured and non-chill filtered, showcases beautifully mature Speyside fruit, honeyed richness and warming spice, but beyond flavour it is the rarity that stands out: only one cask, only one moment in time, and only 107 bottles available globally.
For collectors and enthusiasts of silent distilleries, this is the type of release that disappears almost as quickly as it arrives.

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure?
