Christmas at Loch Fyne Whiskies: Top Picks for Whiskies Under £100
Glen Scotia 15 Year Old
This 15 year old single malt from Glen Scotia distillery has been gently matured for at least 15 years in hand-selected American oak barrels to deliver the true character of a Campbeltown malt whisky. Bottled at a strength of 46% abv without any chill-filtration for a smooth taste and intensely rich character.
Hamish Says...
Nose: dried fruits and citrus peel awash with sea spray.
Palate: spicy aromatic fruits and vanilla notes from the American oak give a soft and rounded character.
Finish: dry and malty.
Redbreast 15 Year Old
This single pot still Irish whiskey began life as a limited edition in Paris, before finding its way into the Redbreast core range. The additional three years in the barrel give this whiskey a mellower taste than the Redbreast 12 Year Old and have earned this expression multiple awards in competitions around the world.
Hamish Says...
Nose: a complex mix of berries and aromatic oils.
Palate: full and mellow with fleshy fruits, toasted oak and spices.
Finish: long and elegant.
The Glenlivet 18 Year Old
A beautifully crafted 18 year old liquid from the masters of flavour at The Glenlivet, this release was matured in a mixture of American oak and European oak, both first and second fill, and hand picked by master distiller Alan Winchester. European Oak imparts spiciness and brings additional complexity and first-fill American Oak adds soft tropical fruitiness.
Hamish Says...
Nose: Rich fruits with sweet toffee notes.
Palate: Well-balanced with rich toffee, bursts of orange and citrus.
Finish: Long with sweetly spiced dried fruits.
The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak Cask
The Macallan have shaken things up with new 2025 packaging that reflects the makeup of this oak casked range - red for European oak, and white for American oak - that still retains the signature style of The Macallan, the new look is bold yet timeless.
This is the modern interpretation of The Macallan style for which the distillery is so well known – refined, rich, and rounded with plenty of sherry cask influence. Very definitely a dram to be enjoyed with friends.
Hamish Says...
Nose: Fresh fruit salad, charming cloves.
Palate: Dark fruit, Christmas cake, rich almonds.
Finish: Stewed Apples and the sweetest prunes.
