WHISKEY SELECTION“There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as
good as others.”
Novelist & Screenwriter Raymond Chandler
IRISH WHISKEY
Roe & Coe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £8 Roe & Co was launched in 2017, marking Diageo’s return to Irish whiskey. It has been matured predominantly in first-fill bourbon casks. This has a velvety, creamy texture and notes of sweet fruit and vanilla.
Bushmills 10-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £8 The benchmark Irish single malt, this has a far greater depth of flavour than standard Irish blends. A former winner of Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey in the World at the World Whiskies Awards.
Jameson Redbreast 12-Year-Old . . . . . . £8 Redbreast is a beautifully balanced single pot still Irish whiskey, with a warm, generous texture, rich, sweet flavours and a spicy kick. In the view of many connoisseurs, the finest Irish whiskey available.
Knappogue 12-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . .£10 Our signature expression, is an exceptional single malt made exclusively from malted barley. Triple distilled one batch at a time in traditional, onion-shaped copper pot stills, the whiskey is then aged in bourbon oak casks for 12 years.
Jameson Caskmates . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £8 Jameson Caskmates sees the reuse of old whiskey barrels. Nothing new in that, but in between, they’ve been used to age stout from Cork’s Franciscan Well brewery. This has added notes of cocoa, coffee and butterscotch to this classic Irish whiskey.
Midleton Very Rare . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £20 Once a year, Master Distiller, Brian Nation handpicks the finest and rarest whiskeys from the Distillery warehouses and carefully blends them to create Midleton Very Rare. Midleton Very Rare is consistently awarded the highest honours at the world’s most respected whisky awards.
Sexton . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £8 Made from 100% Irish malted barley and is triple distilled for smoothness in copper pot stills. Our new spirit is then aged for perfection in former Oloroso sherry casks, sourced from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
Green Spot . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £11 Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills, they are characterised by full, complex flavours and a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel.
SCOTCH WHISKY
Singleton 12-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £11 A relaunched Singleton, this time from Dufftown, to replace the now-defunct Singleton of Auchroisk. This smooth, mellow dram is designed to attract new drinkers to the malt category.
Talisker 10-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .£10 A massive success as the island representative in Diageo’s ‘Classic Malts’ series, Talisker 10-year old’s profile keeps increasing as more fans discover its intense coastal spicy, peaty character. A truly elemental malt.
Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . .£10 One of the world’s best-selling malts, Glenfiddich 12yo’s famous triangular bottle is a fixture in practically every bar on the globe. Light and easy-drinking stuff loved by millions.
Johnnie Walker Black Label 12-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £9 Johnnie Walker Black Label’s iconic square bottle makes it one of the world’s most recognisable Scotch whiskies - and it’s also one of whisky critic Jim Murray’s favourite blends: ‘If there is a silkier delivery on the market today, I have not seen it: this is sublime stuff...one of the world’s most masterful whiskies back in all its complex glory’.
Laphroaig 10-Year-Old . . . . . . . . . . . . . .£10 In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smokey taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness.
