Get ready for Father's Day on 21st June.

Campbeltown Loch Malt Whisky is vatted and bottled by Scotland's greatest distillery, Springbank.

There are three distilleries in the Scotch Whisky region of Campbeltown: Springbank, its sister distillery Kilkerran, and Glen Scotia. This beauty contains a portion from each of them. We reckon it's the best whisky pound for pound anywhere.

Campbeltown malts have a maritime quality to them: salty, breezy, briny with a taste of amber. Bottled at drinking strength of 46% ABV with no colour, no chill-filtration. A mix of ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks.

The latest batch will be arriving in early June. We're now taking reservations. £42 per bottle.

Call now, or pop in to reserve your bottle.

The fiftieth anniversary of the most famous wine tasting in history is a few days away. The so-called 'Judgment of Paris'. The tasting that put California on the map and upset the French so much that it took them decades to recover.

We took a fresh look at the results and scores and found a few surprises.

Many mistakes were made on the day, not least the adding up of the scores. But also the contamination of the testing environment and the judges' ensuing pettiness.

Read all about it on our blog. Discover who REALLY won.

For fifty years, the wine world has been telling the wrong story about the most famous tasting in history. Here is what we found.

Find out here.

For fifty years, the wine world has been telling the wrong story about the most famous tasting in history. The scores were wrong. The environment was compromised. And the wine that should have won the red flight was French. Here is what we found.
