Christmas at Loch Fyne Whiskies: Top Picks Under £150
Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask
This 15-year-old expression from The Macallan distillery is part of the Double Cask range, which uses both European and American oak casks, seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry. The Whisky Mastery Team selects a balance of spirit from both types of cask to create a whisky with a sweet, warm character. Bottled at 43% abv, this expression has a golden butterscotch colour which comes solely from the casks with no artificial colouring added.
Hamish Says...
Nose: dried fruits and vanilla to the fore with baked apple, honey and chocolate coated toffee.
Palate: sweet sultanas and raisins grow in intensity with a hint of vanilla, citrus and woody spices.
Finish: warm and creamy with lingering notes of caramel and citrus.
Bowmore 18 Year Old
Introducing the Bowmore 18 Year Old – a cracking Islay single malt whisky with real character. This beautifully aged dram showcases Bowmore’s signature style, offering a bold yet smooth taste with a wee touch of sweetness and clarity. At 43% ABV, it’s matured in a mix of hand-selected American oak ex-Bourbon casks and European oak Oloroso sherry casks, giving it a complex, well-rounded flavour with plenty of layers. The 18 Year Old is a true nod to Bowmore’s craftsmanship, with every sip revealing its fine maturity and rich profile. It’s a whisky that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression.
Hamish Says...
Nose: Peat smoke and creamy caramel meet ripe nectarines and menthol.
Palate: Floral confectionery with liquorice, fennel seeds, dark chocolate and maple syrup.
Finish: Wood spice and light smokiness.
