⭐ Craigellachie 2010
🥃 Finished in PX Sherry Barrique

Pedro Ximénez maturation is often associated with dense, syrup-driven flavour profiles. After 12½ years in a refill hogshead, this cask spent a further 3½ years in a first-fill PX barrique, developing a more old-fashioned style with earthy, savoury notes alongside Craigellachie’s muscular spirit character.

⭐ Staoisha 2013
🥃 Bourbon Hogshead

Staoisha explores the heavily peated side of Bunnahabhain, pushing far beyond the distillery’s more familiar coastal softness. This cask delivers coal-fire smoke, mineral character and oily weight in abundance.

⭐ Glenglassaugh 2017
🥃 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel

At 62.2% ABV, this Glenglassaugh might suggest sheer intensity, yet the cask remains remarkably poised. Rather than brute force, it delivers an elegant coastal style defined by tropical fruit, creamy texture and bright freshness.

⭐ Ardlair 2010
🥃 Bourbon Barrel

Ardmore is almost always encountered in its moderately peated form, but Ardlair reveals the distillery’s unpeated make. Matured in a low-impact ex-bourbon barrel, this cask shifts the focus toward orchard fruit, honeyed malt and soft spice.

⭐ Pulteney 2007
🥃 Bourbon Barrel

Bottled during the distillery’s bicentenary year, this 18-year-old Pulteney captures the coastal style that has defined the distillery for two centuries. An exceptional cask from our earliest stocks, it balances maritime character with ripe fruit and warming spice in particularly expressive form.

Our 80th Cask Collection release for Summer 2026 brings together five individual casks drawn from distilleries with firmly established identities and reputations.

In whisky, certain expectations naturally follow particular names. Ardmore is associated with moderate peat smoke, Bunnahabhain with soft coastal character, and Pedro Ximénez maturation with dense sweetness and richness. Official bottlings typically reinforce these identities, creating recognisable and consistent styles over time.

Independent bottling offers a little more freedom.

Across five single casks, this release explores distillery character beyond those familiar expectations: unusual spirit styles, distinctive maturations, and whiskies that either challenge expectation or quietly exceed it.

As with all our Cask Collection releases, each cask in Cask Collection 80 is presented at natural strength, undiluted and unfiltered. With these selections we seek not to redefine these distilleries, but to show that whisky character is rarely as fixed as reputation suggests.
