Whiskey

The Scalasaig ‘Island Hopper’ takes its name from the port village on the Isle of Colonsay where our company has its brewery/micro-distillery/headquarters.

The Scalasaig ‘Island Hopper’ evokes a journey of discovery, setting out to source the finest casks of mature single malt from distilleries around the Scottish islands and coastlines.

These aged peated whiskies, selected from the Orkney isles right down to Islay, are vatted together and filled into fresh first-fill Spanish sherry oak casks to create an expertly crafted and perfectly balanced smoky-sweet Scotch
Only ever produced in small batches of 3,000 bottles, the
‘Maiden Voyage’ was released in September 2019!

‘It is an open secret, that “a wee drappie” of Mr Eadie’s own blend of Scotch whisky is here dispensed to a favoured few.’– Alfred Barnard, 1889

Bottled at 45.6% (80° Imperial Proof) without chill-filtration, just as James Eadie would have, the result is an
elegant, peaty dram reborn from the first Golden Age of Scotch whisky.

Aroma

Very distinctively oily, with touches of extra virgin olive oil, sweet briar wood, aromatic
herbs (coriander & sage) and a suggestion of smoked lemon peel. A splash of water
releases more oiliness, like linseed oil, a gentle waxiness, and a burst of perfumed,
aromatic carbolic soap, and finally, a whiff of crème bruleé.

Taste

A soft, oily, mouthcoating texture leads into a rich, sweet, smoky palate, with hints of oak
moss, treacle, aniseed lozenges and a lovely, sweet, woody/balsamic flavour. This is then
followed by smoked apricots and eucalyptus oil.

Finish

Finally comes a lingering, sweet/smoky aftertaste, with a touch of cumin, cardamom
and the merest hint of coconut.



A marriage of whisky matured in sweet Sauternes wine casks, together with classic Ardbeg aged in ex-bourbon casks. Smoked lemon peel soars alongside balsamic vinegar, before fresh apricots roll and bank into notes of tarry rope. First imagined only as a flight of fantasy, this is a spirit that achieves the ultimate equilibrium between sweetness and smoke. A rare beast Ardbeg indeed...

In 2016 we discovered James Eadie’s 19th-century ledgers. And after reviving his long-lost blend, Trade Mark ‘X’, we looked at the types of casks that he held in his warehouse.
Like many blenders of his time, Mr. Eadie was fond of casks which had previously held brandies or fortified wines. These included Sherry, Madeira and Marsala, amongst others. Our Cask Finish range explores the flavours which additional maturation in these types of fortified wine barrels can offer. But some barrels are truly one-of-a-kind. Unique in style and flavour, these are bottled as Single
Casks. All Cask Finish and Single Cask releases are bottled at cask strength, natural colour and unchillfiltered. Presented in a very smart gift tube.

Aged in American oak and Sherry casks

Aged for fifteen years in American white oak casks approximately and then transferred into  Oloroso casks to spend a further three years aging. When both parts have reached 18 years, they are blended together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour. Flavours of honey, malt and flowery scents with a hint of dates and figs and wood smoke. A long finish with the sweetness of dried fruit and subtle dryness of Oloroso nuttiness.

A bewildering display of distilling, Ardbeg Spectacular. is a certifiable phenomenon of flavour. So come one, come all and feast your palate on the most extraordinary spirit ever to grace this occasion we call Ardbeg Day.

Non chill filtered at 46.0 ABV%.

Years in ex-bourbon and port wine casks have imparted a mesmerising array of bizarre notes. Fragrant lavender, vetiver and incense candles tumble into rich almond nuttiness. Deeper notes such as damp peat and wood smoke introduce a daring double act of creosote and tar, before leather and minty chocolate leap across to sweet pear crumble and salted caramel fudge.
