Pour & Sip February 2026 Box

As this set came together, we couldn’t help but think “Cor, this is a bit good!” Huge Islay peat. Sherried Islanders. Campbeltown modern classic. Blended malt from the hottest bottlers around. Enjoy!

Jura 19 Year Old The Paps: Jura is an island with few people (around 200) and one road. It’s largely wild, full of deer, and has a landscape that’s dominated by three mountains known as the Paps of Jura. Matured for an impressive 19 years, the whisky started off in American oak bourbon barrels, before being finished in sherry casks of extraordinary quality, having previously held fine 40 year old Pedro Ximénez sherry. This is the pinnacle of Jura’s Sherry Cask Collection, previously only available in global travel retail.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength - Batch 016: Laphroaig is at once one of the best selling single malts in the world, and a cult whisky that happily plays up to its Marmite-esque ‘love it or hate it’ reputation. The distillery still runs traditional malting floors (four of them!), providing an impressive 20% of their not insignificant requirements rather than solely relying on specialist maltsters. This is also natural cask strength i.e. the whisky hasn’t been diluted at all after coming out of the cask (bourbon barrels here).

Isle of Harris - The Hearach First Fill Oloroso Cask Matured: The Hearach is the name of the lightly peated (12-15 PPM) single malt from the Isle of Harris distillery, and we’re big fans. It’s a project rooted in community, employing dozens on an island with a population of fewer than 2,000, with locals trained up to be distillers. Like many exciting younger distilleries, they pride themselves on longer fermentations (about 60% of their wash is fermented for 120 hours), manual distillation with a ‘human touch’, and transparency.

Glen Scotia 12 Year Old: When you see a whisky with a straightforward age statement name like this, from a 19th century distillery, you’d be forgiven for assuming it had always been around. This new (fantastic value) 12 Year Old, however, was only released in Aug 2025! No nonsense, 100% first fill bourbon, fruity, maritime Campbeltown goodness. After intermittent production and closure during the 1990s, Glen Scotia has really gone from strength to strength in the last decade, becoming essential and truly beloved by whisky geeks.

The Heart Cut x Barley Named Independent Bottler of the Year at Whisky Mag’s Icons of Whisky two years running (2024 & 2025), The Heart Cut has now bottled over 20 eclectic whiskies from some of the coolest distilleries around the world, always dealing with distilleries direct. No brokers or middle people. Plus, they’ve created this new ‘house’ blended malt. Truly extraordinary even before you hear that it’s a wife and husband duo, and that they started the business just a couple of years ago around the same time that their twins were born!
