Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dha Single Malt Whisky
Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dhà is a smoky, sherried Islay single malt that blends gentle peat with rich fruit and spice, offering a balanced and approachable take on peated whisky. Toiteach a Dhà means “Smoky Two” in Scots Gaelic, marking it as the sequel to Bunnahabhain’s original peated release, Toiteach. Unlike most Islay whiskies, Bunnahabhain typically produces unpeated malts, but this expression introduces a subtle smokiness through peated malted barley. It’s matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, with a higher sherry influence than its predecessor, and bottled at 46.3% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration. The nose opens with grilled pineapple, kiwi and moist old wood, followed by salt and pepper that hint at its youthful vibrancy. On the palate, it delivers vibrant citrus fruits, licorice root and soft medicinal notes, balanced by orchard fruits and warming spice. The finish is long and smoky, with lingering sherry sweetness and coastal salinity. Toiteach a Dhà is ideal for those exploring peated whisky or seeking a gentler Islay dram with a sherried twist. It captures the essence of Bunnahabhain’s coastal character while offering a unique smoky depth.
Wolfburn Northland 8 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Wolfburn Northland 8 Year Old is a smooth, warming, and gently complex Highland single malt from one of Scotland's most northerly mainland distilleries. Matured for a minimum of eight years in American oak quarter casks and bottled on-site at 46% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and presented at natural colour, a whisky of genuine craft and Highland character. Multiple award winner including Double Gold at FiftyBest and Gold at the IWSC and World Whisky Awards. Why You'll Love It The Northland is the founding expression of Wolfburn and a whisky that perfectly captures the distillery's unhurried, handcrafted approach. American oak quarter casks impart a distinctive sweetness and warmth, with notes of honey, vanilla, and ripe fruit, while a trace of very light peat smoke adds intrigue without dominating. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour, the whisky retains every nuance of its eight years of maturation in the rugged Caithness climate. If you love an approachable, well-balanced Highland single malt with genuine depth, this is an essential dram. Distillery & Maturation Wolfburn Distillery is located in Thurso, Caithness, one of the most northerly whisky distilleries on the Scottish mainland, reviving the legacy of the original 1821 Wolfburn Distillery. The Northland 8 Year Old is matured exclusively in American oak quarter casks, which accelerate the interaction between spirit and wood, delivering a rich, rounded character in a relatively short maturation period. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration and without added colouring, preserving the full integrity of the spirit. Tasting Notes The nose is initially sweet with notes of fruit and fresh sea air, with citrus freshness, hints of cereal, and just a trace of peat smoke in the background. On the palate, sweet and nutty tones come to the fore, with hints of grape and honey, floral flavours, and a touch of dried fruit and spice. The finish is soft and sweet, fading gradually with a gentle trace of peat
