Read on to learn more about our exceptional range of Single Malt Scotch whiskies.

The Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Macallan has a rich history dating back to 1824. From place to process, people and passion, the Six Pillars form the backdrop to The Macallan’s unique spirit.

Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of The Macallan Master of Wood, handpicked casks are crucial to the exceptionally rich colour and flavour of The Macallan. All The Macallan whiskies take 100% of their colour from the wood in which they are matured.

The unique size and shape of The Macallan’s Curiously Small Stills give the spirit maximum contact with the copper. Only the finest quality spirit (the finest cut) is selected from these stills. This small portion or ‘cut’ is incredibly selective and one of the finest in the industry.

Each and every The Macallan single malt reveals their devotion to the mastery of wood and spirit since 1824.

Whilst The Macallan has an extensive range of exceptional single malt whiskies, the 4 whiskies below are a must-have for any liquor store or venue.

The Macallan Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky Range


To create Double Cask, The Macallan brings new oak from America across thousands of miles to Spain, where the casks are crafted and sherry-seasoned before travelling to the distillery on Speyside to mature. These whiskies are then harmoniously united with those aged in the very best European sherry-seasoned oak casks, creating a range with an extraordinary fusion of vanilla and subtle spice.

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old
A fully rounded single malt in perfect balance, with flavours of honey, citrus and ginger.

The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old
Delicate vanilla and the subtle spice of European oak, deliver a whisky with a golden butterscotch colour and warm, harmonious character.

The Macallan Double Cask 18 Years Old
The epitome of perfect balance. A sensual, rich and luxurious single malt with a sweeter, warmer taste and character.

Highland Park Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Highland Park is a single malt scotch whisky with Viking Honour at its heart. This incredible whisky range reflects the unique culture of Orkney – part of Scotland, but originally belonging to a vast Viking kingdom. In honour of those Viking ancestors, Highland Park still distil their award-winning whisky to the same exacting standards introduced in 1798 by Magnus Eunson, a direct descendant of those early Viking settlers.
All the malt to create Highland Park is hand-turned by shovel, day in and day out. All peat used is dug out of a 4,000-year-old peat moor, 4 metres down, one shovel at a time. This uncompromising approach accounts for the appeal of Highland Park, respected by whisky lovers as one of the most outstanding single malts in the world.

Let’s take a look at three Highland Park whiskies that you could recommend to your customers who like a peaty whisky experience and inject some Viking Soul into your Fathers’ Day sales with these three fine examples of uncompromising spirit.

Highland Park 12-year-old (Viking Honour)
This intensely balanced single malt scotch whisky is a perfect harmony of aromatic smoky peat and the flavours of sweet heather honey and rich fruit cake. Smooth, full and rounded, it’s a whisky that truly stands apart.

Highland Park 18-year-old (Viking Pride)
Two-times winner of the Chairman’s Award at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 4, the intense balance of the flavours found in Highland Park 18-Year-Old is genuinely exceptional. This dessert-style whisky is a fantastic, bursting with notes of chocolate and cherries.

Bruichladdich Distillery Co – pushing the boundaries of artisanal Single Malt Islay Scotch Whisky

At Bruichladdich Distillery Co on the wild Scottish island of Islay, is pushing the boundaries in artisanal single malt whisky. As a certified B Corp. company, who meets the highest social and environmental impact standards while contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable economy, Bruichladdich Distillery Co is the inspiration of many craft distillers, focusing on the provenance and traceability of its barley varieties from different farms, fields, or “terroirs”.

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

PHD’s flagship whisky is the famous Bruichladdich unpeated single malt– a soft, floral and elegantly complex whisky as smooth as pebbles in a pool.
Crafted from individually selected casks, each batch of The Classic Bruichladdich Laddie is, by nature, unique and subtly different. Each release assembles the finest spirits that showcase the classic, floral and elegant Bruichladdich house style.

To taste Bruichladdich is to realise that you must use 100% Scottish barley to achieve the absolute best.

Port Charlotte 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

For those who prefer single malts on the peaty side, Bruichladdich offers the heavily peated Port Charlotte 10 single malt. Port Charlotte single malts are bottled at 59.2% alcohol in limited numbers and peated to a heavyweight 40PPM. This sweet and fruity spirit spends time in first-fill American whiskey casks and second-fill French wine casks and is then matured for an extra year in the finest French oak from Bordeaux. The resulting rich and aromatic spirit has all the power of peat, yet with elegance and finesse.

Octomore – the world’s most heavily peated series of single malt Scotch whiskies

For those for whom too much peat is never enough, Bruichladdich Distillery also offers the Octomore Series range.

Octomore (the name means ‘Big Eighth’) is the world’s most heavily peated series of single malt Scotch whiskies, created from stratospherically peated, Scottish barley. Each individual expression is handcrafted and released in Limited, numbered editions.

Sometimes bottled bold and brazen at 5 years old, always at cask strength, Octomore fatally undermines the assumption that the quality of Scotch whisky is always a function of its age.

Octomore 13.1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Octomore 13.1 is as youthful and dynamic as its super-heavily peated predecessors. Distilled patiently from the 2015 harvest of 100% Scottish Mainland barley, this single malt is malted to a stratospheric 137.3 PPM and matured in the highest quality American oak casks.

Octomore 13.2  Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Octomore 13.2 offers an alternative maturation to the structural brilliance delivered by its 13.1 counterpart. In an indulgent point of difference, the five-year-old spirit has spent its entire maturing life in Oloroso butts from Fernando de Castilla, Spain.

Octomore 13.3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Like all Octomore .3 editions, the 13.3 is distilled from 100% Islay barley. The barley is grown on Octomore farm, around two miles south of Bruichladdich Distillery. The name for the Octomore range originated from this farm, and the .3’s are generally matured in a mixture of ex-American and ex-European oak casks. Octomore 13.3 is matured in a combination of ex-American whiskey and second-fill ex-French oak casks.

If you’re a whisky destination you can’t overlook these fantastic whiskies from the Bruichladdich Distillery Company.
