Sensational new Harris Whisky

Over the last few years we have increased our range of single cask bottles as we feel there are some incredible whisky’s to be found made in this way. Our latest discovery is a relatively new operation called Harris Whisky. We really think these are of exceptional quality.

GLEN GRANT Cask No: 6650 35yrs 57.5%VOL £125

A Speyside great!
This limited edition single malt of just 100 bottles really demonstrates the wonderful spirit of Glen Grant. It emanates a youthfulness that, at times, belies its age and richness.
Light amber in colour, with a luxurious syrupy look when swirled in the glass.
Complex nose of amontillado sherry, moving through to Bourbon, with orange liqueur and candied pears.
Discrete tannins, rich winter fruit cake, ripe pears, delicate spice and honey on the palate, ending with an enticing, lingering, rich, warming finish.

Recent wine tasting highlights

After another hugely successfull wine tasting we thought it might be of interest to highlight a few of the most ordered wines on the night.

Prosecco Cipriano £8.99 - personelly I think this really is a great buy, it has a lovely fresh feel and just tastes so clean and pure. Its a hundred times better than anything else we have tasted for this sort of money.

Godello 2007 Joaquin Rebolledo £10.99 - I am sure if you have been in the shop recently we will have tried to sell you a bottle of this. For us its everything that a good Sauvignon Blanc should be, but isn't. Its a wine you can just sit back and enjoy no strings attached.

Chateau La Lagune Mademoiselle L Haut Medoc 2005 £14.99 - this is effectivly their third label. We have found this sort of wine can be found lacking some what. This is certainly not the case with this fine example and of classic Bordeaux winemaking. We cant say that £14.99 is a value wine but it sure delivers a lot of wine for the money.
