Ardbeg 19 years “Traigh Bhan” Batch 7 – 50,3%

Alexander Gutermann — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 12:29:55 +0000

The name Ardbeg means as much as ‘little hill’. It is located at the southern coast of the whisky island Islay between Port Ellen and Kildalton. The location already has been popular for illegal distilleries. After a history with ups and downs including temporary close-downs the distillery was inherited by Glenmorangie PLC in 1997, which were themselves bought by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy in 2004. Today it is one of the most famous distilleries in Scotland, known for its smokey, peaty and salty bottlings with strong note of phenol. Two bottlings are named like the lakes the water of the distillery comes from: Loch Arinambeast and Loch Uigeadail. In 2015 Ardbeg celebrated its bicentenary.

Alexander Gutermann — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 13:05:06 +0000

Distilled on 15 October 1999 at the historic Springbank Distillery, this single malt was matured for over a quarter of a century in a fresh sherry hogshead. The independent bottler Claxton’s selected this single cask, numbered C25141, for its exclusive ‘Warehouse No. 1 Series 10 Celebratory Release’. With a strictly limited run of just 74 bottles worldwide, this whisky is a testament to the art of selection at its finest; it has been bottled without chill filtration and in its natural colour.

The packaging is slightly damaged at the top edge (see photo), which is why the item is being offered at the RRP.

Octomore 16.4 – 62,6%

Octomore 16.4

"This is Octomore in its most daring and authentic form—a bold exploration of the boundaries of flavor. The 16.4 showcases the dynamic tension and ultimate harmony between French oak and heavily peated Islay barley, expertly distilled. The unique characteristics of the barley—pushing the limits of intensity without ever sacrificing balance or elegance—shine through, forming the foundation of this complex and rewarding dram."

100% Concerto barley, Islay
189.5 ppm
Bottled at 62.6% ABV
Non-chill filtered; no added coloring
Aged for five years in Bourbon and French virgin oak casks

Nose: Intense smoke gives way to the rich, caramelized sweetness of toasted, fresh French oak. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove intertwine with baked apples and pears drizzled with honey. Peat remains a constant, powerful presence, weaving through the oak and spice notes.

Taste: Toasted oak, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet smoke. Apple and pear compote balances the richness of the oak. The barley creates a subtle, earthy undertone—reminiscent of rain-soaked soil—while smoke underscores the other flavors without overpowering them.

Black Tot Historic Solera – 46,2%

Until July 31 1970, it was normal for every seafarer in the British Navy to get a daily ration of rum. On ththis day this ritual ended so this day is known as Black Tot day. The history of Black Tot rum started 11 years ago when bottles of traditional Navy rum were discovered in an English marina. The bottles contained rums from Jamaica, Guyana and Barbados, which therefore have not been touched for more than 40 years. In 2011 these bottles of the historic rum were rebottled and launched on the market as “Black Tot The Last Consigment”. The new rum – simply “Black Tot” – pays homage to the moment that changed everything. However, the Black Tot is a creation for modern rum connoisseurs! The traditional Caribbean style was used to create a recipe that contains the natural fruit flavors of Barbados, added depth through the full-bodied Guyana rums and intertwined with the vibrancy of the Jamaican rums. The new Black Tot is a complex rum that knows how to stand out from other rums. An enjoyable, repeatable taste experience – a rum you will never forget!

The current owner is Rémy Cointreau.
