A smooth, single malt matured in bourbon and sherry casks for extra layers of flavour, this softer offering from the award-winning Tomatin distillery in the Scottish Highlands has undertones of caramel and vanilla. It’s an excellent choice for relaxed sipping after dinner or by the fire on a chilly winter’s evening. A robust 57.5% ABV out of the bottle, this overproof whisky should be diluted with water before sipping. The sherry influence isn’t quite as intense as with some whiskies we’ve tasted, but the result is impossible to dislike. There’s a rich, vibrant surge of flavour bursting with sherry, spice, orange peel and amaretto, all underpinned with a gentle sweetness which results in a whisky that’s dangerously drinkable. For the money, it’s one of our favourites – and a stunning dram to boot. Single pot whiskey refers to Irish whiskey from a single distillery produced using a blend of malted and unmalted barley (and sometimes other grains), giving a slightly more peppery flavour compared to single malt.

You might encounter single or blended malts in cask strength, which means the whisky is bottled straight from the cask it was matured in without being diluted. Cask-strength whiskies are typically around 60-65% alcohol by volume (compared to around 40% for a typical diluted whisky) and should always be drunk with water. Which whisky is right for me?

This mysterious brand is produced at an unnamed distillery somewhere in Speyside and the result is an outrageously drinkable whisky. It may only be an 8 year old single malt whisky at its core, but those eight years have been spent maturing in bourbon barrels and then followed with a further three months in deliberately bijou octave Oloroso sherry casks to imbue as much complexity and flavour as possible.

The wisgi tradition was reinvigorated in Wales in the early 2000s, and is now growing in popularity outside of its homeland. This warm, light whisky with notes of vanilla is Penderyn’s most popular single malt, while other offerings from the distillery include a jammy portwood-finished malt and the peatier Celt. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. This single-malt, Indian whisky produced and bottled by Paul John Distilleries in Goa, offers a deliciously punchy, malt-forward tipple with bags of character. Aged for eight years in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, you can expect a bourbon-esq sweetness on the nose, with lots of honey, syrup and light fruits. This follows through on tasting, where you’ll also find barley and a syrupy, almost tropical sweetness. This single malt is a classic for a reason and if you’ve never experienced Indian whisky before, it’s a truly exceptional place to start – providing you’re willing to splash out a little.

Single malt whisky is made with malted barley and aged in oak casks, giving it a distinctive aroma and flavour. It’s made entirely with malt from a single distillery, without the addition of other grains. Scotch whisky, in particular, is known for its robust single malts, but this style of whisky is produced worldwide – look in the right places and you’ll find Irish, Japanese and Indian single malts. Less commonly found are blended malt whiskies – these are produced using malted barley only, but may combine malts from two or more distilleries. This typically creates a characterful blend that’s more complex than a malt-grain blend and usually cheaper than a single malt.

A warm, long-drinking single-pot whiskey, smooth with creamy vanilla notes. Made with a blend of malted and unmalted barley, Green Spot was, until recently, only available at its distiller’s Dublin store, and production is still limited to 12,000 bottles a year. So if you have expat Irish friends you’d like to impress, a bottle of the lesser-spotted Green Spot should make them very happy indeed.While the drink fell out of popularity for a short while in the late 20th century, whisky has recently overtaken vodka as the UK’s most popular spirit and most local pubs will offer a good selection of malts and blends. An exceptionally smooth-drinking triple-distilled Lowland Scotch, Auchentoshan Three Wood is matured in bourbon, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks to bring a mellow, fruity flavour that’s worth savouring. Rich and very slightly sweet, with no peaty smoke, this is possibly the nearest fine whisky comes to the taste of Christmas pudding in a bottle. If more astringent malts have left you thinking you don’t like Scotch whisky, give this one a try before you give up.
