Discover the Power of 100 Proof: Craigellachie 2014 & Glenlossie 2012

Scotland - Speyside

Two powerful single malts from renowned distilleries — both bottled at 57.1% ABV (100 Proof) — bring bold flavor and carefully balanced intensity. Not cask strength, but intentionally bottled at high proof for a richer, fuller experience.

Craigellachie 2014 – 10 Years – 100 Proof Edition #39

This edition of Craigellachie matured in a flavorful combination of first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts, second-fill Oloroso sherry casks, and re-charred hogsheads. Expect a big, chewy dram full of rich leather, toasted oak, stewed fruits, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. The finish delivers warming spices, butterscotch, and raspberry coulis — a meaty, deeply layered whisky that exemplifies Craigellachie’s famously muscular style.

Glenlossie 2012 – 12 Years – 100 Proof Edition #35

This elegant Speysider aged in both Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, striking a perfect balance between sweetness and spice. The nose opens with fresh pear, citrus zest, floral honey, and almonds. The palate delivers toffee, candied orange, dried fruit, and soft nutty notes. Its long, warm finish is marked by subtle sherry richness and lingering vanilla sweetness. A great showcase of Glenlossie’s clean, fruity house style — but with extra weight at 100 proof.

Exploring Smoke, Strength, and Tradition: Secrets of Smoke, Kilkerran 8-Year-Old Cask Strength, and Springbank 10-Year-Old

Secrets of smoke

Peated whisky takes many forms, from subtly smoky to intensely medicinal. Secrets of Smoke by Compass Box challenges the idea that peat is only about smoke, blending single malts aged in wine and sherry casks to highlight hidden sweetness. Meanwhile, Kilkerran 8-Year-Old Cask Strength Bourbon Cask represents a bolder Campbeltown style, focusing on pure ex-bourbon maturation for a full-flavoured, high-proof experience. In contrast, Springbank 10-Year-Old offers a balanced introduction to Campbeltown whisky, blending bourbon and sherry cask influence with light peat and coastal character.

Each whisky showcases a different approach to complexity. Secrets of Smoke builds layers of fruit, toffee, and spice over a smoky backbone, drawing on cask finishes from Palo Cortado sherry, Marsala, and red wine. Kilkerran 8-Year-Old Cask Strength leans into bourbon cask influence, delivering notes of lime, honey, and sea salt with a robust, creamy mouthfeel. Springbank 10-Year-Old strikes a middle ground, combining gentle peat smoke with orchard fruits, vanilla, and maritime salinity for a well-rounded, approachable dram.
