Pour & Sip February 2025 Box

Whiskies from Scotland, America, England, and even Finland is this set, from classics, to limited editions, and exciting new wave distillers! All quite different, there's surely something for everyone. One of the oldest single malts we've featured too. Enjoy!

Glen Grant 18 Year Old Rare Edition: ‘The Major’, aka James Grant, inherited the distillery in 1872, and is responsible for the distillery's 22-acre Victorian Garden and also the tall, slender stills with their purifiers. This contributes to Glen Grant’s light character, with the still’s unique boil balls aiding further reflux. Glen Grant is easy-going at young ages, but also ages wonderfully. This very highly-awarded 18-year-old malt shows that.

Glen Scotia 14 Year Old - Icons of Campbeltown Release No.2: Glen Scotia’s usually unpeated, and also rarely seen in wine casks. This is ‘medium’-peated, and spent six months in Barolo red wine casks! The inspiration came from the Campbeltown Market Cross’ depiction of St. Michael slaying a dragon, but also the times when the community came together to fight historic blazes (not least at Dalintober Distillery in 1899).

Kyrö Oloroso Malt Rye Whisky: Their 100% malted wholegrain Finnish rye spirits have won many fans and awards, are made with incredible attention to detail, and provide great concentration and depth of flavour. Since we last featured them, their core range has expanded including this Oloroso Malt Rye (initially matured in new American oak and bourbon casks, but then as the name suggests finished in oloroso sherry casks).

Wire Works Bourbon Barrel: Undoubtedly one of the leading lights of English whisky, and also a whisky coming of age. Here the distillery’s oldest whisky to date has matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks. A small amount of peated barley is combined with unpeated (10PPM total), and a blend of yeasts are used including used brewer’s yeast from local brewers with long 6-day fermentations for fruity esters.

Bluegrass Toasted Oak: Craft distillers in the heart of Kentucky, Toasted Oak uses a classic mashbill of 75% (yellow) corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. After a standard 3 years in fresh, charred American oak casks, it rested in lightly toasted casks for 21 days. Doesn’t sound long, but these lightly toasted (but not charred) barrels give up wood sugars easily and quickly. Such finishes are increasingly popular.
