German independent whisky brand operated by Sansibar-Whisky GmbH. It selects and bottles single casks from Scottish distilleries and also releases other spirits.
Tropical mango, passion fruit and pineapple mingle with zesty citrus, mint, wet rocks and coastal smoke in this fruity yet maritime Bowmore.
Generous fruitiness balances the oak, with vibrant apricot, muscat grapes and yellow plums leading to a beautiful character.
An extremely unctuous and oily whisky, with creamy bananas, papaya and ripe starfruit balanced by mineral notes, drying tobacco and evolving herbal hints.
This fragile malt is charming, with melon skins, fresh almonds, little apples and herbal teas, drinking rather like a white wine.
A cherry lover’s dream, bursting with morello cherries, Black Forest gâteau, kirsch and black cherry jam, with dark pipe tobacco and spice.
Bastille!
Strathmill 1988 (The Whisky Agency & Sansibar)
An old malt of astonishing ease, with magnificent fruity freshness and none of the usual tobacco, leather, spice or walnut notes found at this age.
A very rich whisky with excellent balance, old-style sherry character, dried fruits, tobacco, chocolate and a long, drying finish.
An elegant, fruity nose of lime, pineapple and green apple leads to a lightly peated palate with coastal notes, mocha, lemon and stewed apple.
A warm, waxy and honeyed whisky with ripe tropical fruit, vanilla cake and zesty citrus; seductive on the nose, though tighter on the palate.
A very solid Ben Nevis, balancing a pronounced green and leafy character with a good dose of fruity notes.
