What’s your favourite tipple? As the world of whisky is bigger than ever with new distilleries popping up all over, it’s never been a better time for a whisky lover. From single malts and traditional scotch to blends and new finds, here are 5 whiskies worth adding to your bar at home.
HIBIKI HARMONY
Produced using a traditional Scottish whisky-making process, Hibiki Harmony is a delicate, amber blend of a number of Suntory malts and grains. Housed in a stunning bottle made up of 24 grooves that symbolise the 24 Japanese seasons, the tasting notes incorporate sweet honey, rose and orange blossom with a hint of white chocolate and Japanese oak.
ARDBEG 10
One of the most peatiest and smokiest drams in the world, Ardbeg 10 is powerful and complex to say the least. The bold Islay single malt is packed with intense flavours of vanilla and citrus fruits counterbalanced with a lot of smoke, warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows.
MACALLAN 18
Distilled in the Speyside region of Scotland, the Macallan 18 years old double-cask is the crown jewel in the range. The perfectly balanced single malt ages in both American and European sweet sherry-seasoned oak casks giving it a distinctive, rich flavour. Enjoy notes of vanilla, dried fruit, ginger and warm oak which finishes nicely with a subtle warm oak spice.
NIKKA FROM THE BARREL
Made by blending more than 100 different batches of malt and grain whiskies, Nikka from the Barrel is packed with flavour. On the palette you feel a richness through its distinct bouquet of candied orange, winter cinnamon spice and toffee. Simply delicious!
GLENFIDDICH 12
If you want something classic, look no further than a staple of most bars in the world, Glenfiddich 12. Smooth and easy to drink, the renowned scotch combines the freshness of Highland spring water and a hint of pear with butterscotch and subtle oak for a mellow finish.
