Fruitful Spirits Bottlings

The return of a fan favourite. This third batch of Cigar Malt was distilled in March 2010 and bottled in May 2026, yielding 633 bottles at 53.4% ABV. Fully matured for 16 years in First Fill PX Hogsheads, this richly sherried Speyside malt delivers the indulgent depth and character that made the series so popular. Toasted barley, fresh cigar leaf, honeyed dates and spiced apricot compote lead on the nose, giving way to a decadent palate of milk chocolate coated raisins, Turkish delight, orange oils and soft ginger spice. The finish is long, warming and satisfyingly rich, with dark cocoa, roasted pecans, sweet tobacco and gentle earthy truffle bringing depth, balance and structure. Rich, layered and deeply satisfying, this is a dram that pairs fantastically with a cigar, but is every bit as delicious enjoyed on its own. Bottled with no colouring and no chill filtration.

Distilled in October 1989 and bottled in March 2026 at 48.7% ABV, producing just 96 bottles. This 36 year old teaspooned Balvenie brings together three distinct cask influences (Bourbon, PX & Oloroso) to create a dram of remarkable depth and indulgence. On the nose, rich muscovado sugar and dried fruits lead the way, intertwined with polished oak, walnut, and soft waves of vanilla and coconut. The palate is luxuriously textured – silky dark chocolate, fruitcake and espresso unfold into spiced oak, vanilla fudge and a delicate lift of citrus. The finish is long, warming, and deeply satisfying, where cocoa and roasted nuts meet seasoned oak, leather, and a lingering citrus oil brightness that carries through to the final sip. Presented in an engraved wooden box.

Rich, sherried aromas of raisins, fig jam and dried cherry open on the nose, layered with walnut cake, toffee, brown sugar and baked orchard fruits. The palate is full and rounded, with sultanas, dates, blackberry syrup, treacle toffee, gingerbread, dark chocolate and sweet oak spice. The finish is long and warming, with dried fruits, cocoa, spiced oak and molasses, ending in a soft, lingering sweetness. Bottled with no colouring and no chill filtration.

Matured for 22 years in refill hogshead #1036, this expression offers a gentle, elegant take on Highland Park’s signature balance of peat and sweetness. Light heathery peat rises on the nose, lifted by notes of golden syrup and malt loaf. The palate is rich and rounded, unfolding into bread and butter pudding and wildflower honey, with a soft, comforting sweetness at its core. It finishes long and harmonious, with delicate pear drops and a touch of crystallised ginger lingering alongside a subtle wisp of smoke.

Coastal salted caramel and honeyed malt lead on the nose, intertwined with red berries and polished oak. The palate is rich and textural, delivering syrupy red cherry and grape molasses, balanced by a distinctive brine, beeswax, chocolate and warming spice. It closes with a long, satisfying finish of salted chocolate, soft vanilla, gentle spice and lingering maritime oak.
