It’s a field day for Indie fans! A whole new range of IBs from Duncan Taylor and Wemyss just arrived that would suit the whisky explorer. From Duncan Taylor, there’s the curious single cask of Campbeltown Blend, as well as releases from Glenallachie, Craigellachie, and Highland Park. And for rum fans, there’s a release from Jamaica’s Clarendon distillery to check out! 

Wemyss has some impressive releases too, starting with a rare 23 Year Old Linkwood, along with bottlings from fan-favourite distilleries Tobermory, Dailuaine, and Caol Ila. 

The Kilchoman Batch Strength is already a favourite new core addition — bottled at 57% abv, its flavours are rich and intense, but surprisingly easy to drink. For those who have a sweet tooth, the Kilchoman Sauternes Cask matured  single malt is the one for you: smoked tropical fruits and rich sweetness come together in one lovely dram. 

Also new are two new additions from Teeling. The first is the award-winning Crystal Single Malt, which uses Crystal malt barley that’s more commonly found in beer brewing, resulting in a caramel-rich flavour; and the other is a Single Pot Still whiskey matured in virgin Swedish oak. Unique indeed! 

Also worth exploring are the spirits from Sydney-based Archie Rose! What makes their whiskies different? For starters, their Single Malt is made from barley malted to six different specifications (including dark roasted malts), while their Rye Malt is made using a rare malted rye instead of the usual unmalted rye. They’re the perfect starting point for you to dive in to the daring new world of Australian whiskies.
