Choosing whisky by flavour
Start with the flavours you enjoy. Arran 10 Year Old has listed notes of citrus, sweet oak, apple and warming spice. For a smoky alternative, explore Longrow Peated, whose product notes describe peat smoke, a rich texture and maritime character. Comparing tasting notes gives you more useful detail than choosing by region alone.
Exploring different grains and producers
The collection includes different approaches to whisky production. Fielden Harvest 2019 Rye Whisky offers an English rye-led option, with listed notes of herbs, summer fruit and white pepper. Compare its grain composition and production details with the single malts to find a style that interests you.
Checking age, batch and strength
Read the complete release name before ordering. An age statement, harvest year, bottling year and batch number describe different things. Check the individual listing for its alcohol strength, bottle size and current availability, particularly when comparing releases from the same distillery.
