Description

This mixed case brings together three whiskies specially chosen by our Spirits Buyer, Rob Whitehead. It features two Scotch styles and one Australian whisky. The sweet Highland fruits of both the Scottish drams are accentuated with a touch of water, and the peat from the Ruadh Mhor bottling beautifully enhances the fruit. For the Australian Starward, the finish in French red wine casks makes for a delicious marriage of European and Antipodean styles.

Inside this case, you'll find:

1 x Ben Nevis, Mossburn, Cask #401, BBR Exclusive, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (57.8%)
1 x Starward, French Oak, Ex-Red Wine Barrique, BBR Exclusive Cask, Single Malt Whisky, Australia (56.2%)
1 x Berry Bros. & Rudd Ruadh Mhor, Cask Ref. 58, Highland, Peated Malt Scotch Whisky (59.8%)

When is a wine ready to drink?

We provide drinking windows for all our wines. Alongside the drinking windows there is a bottle icon and a maturity stage. Bear in mind that the best time to drink a wine does also depend on your taste.

Not ready

These wines are very young. Whilst they're likely to have lots of intense flavours, their acidity or tannins may make them feel austere. Although it isn't "wrong" to drink these wines now, you are likely to miss out on a lot of complexity by not waiting for them to mature.

Ready - youthful

These wines are likely to have plenty of fruit flavours still and, for red wines, the tannins may well be quite noticeable. For those who prefer younger, fruitier wines, or if serving alongside a robust meal, these will be very enjoyable. If you choose to hold onto these wines, the fruit flavours will evolve into more savoury complexity.

Ready - at best

These wines are likely to have a beautiful balance of fruit, spice and savoury flavours. The acidity and tannins will have softened somewhat, and the wines will show plenty of complexity. For many, this is seen as the ideal time to drink and enjoy these wines. If you choose to hold onto these wines, they will become more savoury but not necessarily more complex.

Ready - mature

These wines are likely to have plenty of complexity, but the fruit flavours will have been almost completely replaced by savoury and spice notes. These wines may have a beautiful texture at this stage of maturity. There is lots to enjoy when drinking wines at this stage. Most of these wines will hold in this window for a few years, though at the very end of this drinking window, wines start to lose complexity and decline.
