Cley Canasta
Cley Canasta is a bold, dessert-driven Dutch single malt from Cley Distillery, finished in Canasta casks for a burst of cherry syrup, strawberry compote, espresso and cacao. With Cley’s new distillery location set to open soon, this dram feels like a delicious preview of one of the most promising whisky producers in the Netherlands.
Ledaig Hebridean Moon Review
Ledaig Hebridean Moon is a bold, high-strength peated single malt from Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull. Bottled at a formidable 58.8% ABV and matured in ex-bourbon casks, this 10-year-old whisky delivers waves of coastal smoke, salted liquorice, citrus zest, and savoury BBQ notes. Raw, powerful, and unmistakably Hebridean, it’s a dram that embraces peat and maritime character without compromise.
