Discover the distinct flavors of the islands of Scotland with a swill of Lagavulin 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Our 86 proof whisky has the intense, full-bodied flavor reminiscent of a driftwood fire at dusk. The taste of dry peat smoke with strong maritime notes results in a complex dram that is complemented by a long, elegant finish. Distilled in Lagavulin, Scotland on the coast of Islay, centuries of local distilling excellence has earned our whisky the Double Gold Medal at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Our aging process in oak casks gives our whisky the extraordinary and classic smoky flavor that demands to be served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water. Carrying on a 200-year-old tradition of distilling excellence, the Lagavulin distillery is said to be one of the oldest distilleries on Islay. Founded in 1816 by farmer John Johnston and later led by Peter Mackies in 1887, the name Lagavulin was to become the last word on the delicacy of Islay malts. Miles and miles of peat bog in the west of the island provide the raw material which imbues the barley with our iconic smoky flavor, and the rich peaty water that runs from the Solan Lochs into the distillery makes the flavors so unique. It takes time, but patience is our finest virtue and rushing good whisky is just not how we take care of things in Islay. Please drink responsibly.

Experience the tale told by the tides with a swig of Talisker Storm Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Our 91.6 proof whisky starts out with a mellow yet rich sweet, malty taste ending in an explosion of spice. Distilled by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, centuries of local distilling tradition and the rugged environment are what makes our award-winning malt so exquisite. Intense and powerful, the flavour comes from the peat burned during the malting process and the rich vanilla imbued by the aging process. With a lasting smooth aftertaste, savour this spirit's sweet and spicy flavours served neat, or draw them out with a little water.Sitting amongst the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, Skye is rugged, windswept and a place of extremes. Our whisky captures the spirit of its island home perfectly. In 1825, Hugh MacAskill of Eigg acquired the Talisker House and along with his brother built what was to become one of the world’s most popular distilleries on the shore of Loch Harport. Now it is one of the oldest single malt Scotch whiskies made by the sea. Through fire, war and financial crises, this northern outpost has remained strong: producing consistently fine whiskies which, once tried, are rarely forgotten. Please drink responsibly.

House Stark’s resiliency, strength and ability to thrive under the most intense situations are greatly shaped by Winterfell’s frigid temperatures. Dalwhinnie, known for being one of the highest distilleries in all of Scotland is cold and remote much like The North where House Stark calls home, making the two an iconic pairing. Extreme conditions are responsible for shaping the signature Dalwhinnie Winter’s Frost honeyed sweetness and spicy warmth. Naturally, it’s best served chilled or over ice. Tastes of honey and fresh fig develop on the palate followed by a delicious maltiness and rich fruit cake. These iconic whiskies serve as must-have collectibles for Game of Thrones and whisky adorers. Please drink responsibly.

The Singleton 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is just the right balance of rich complexity and flavor. With a fresh, light and clean nose, our whisky ranges from fruity to creamy with a touch of sweet honey. Matured for 12 years in American and European oak casks for a balanced liquid, our combination of citrus and vanilla rounds off the initially spicy edges, making this single malt pleasantly soft to the taste. Delicious however you choose to drink it, our 80 proof whisky is best enjoyed in the company of friends and in mixed drinks. Simply serve with sweet vermouth and a few dashes of bitters in a chilled glass for a refreshing tasting Rob Roy cocktail. The Singleton family is built on the foundations of traditional distilling and heritage but at the same time is also vibrant and contemporary. Introduced to the USA in 2006, The Singleton name has only grown since its spirited start in life and has pushed through many trials and tribulations, including temporarily shutting down during the Second World War. Though we may be strong-willed, we know there is no single way to enjoy our whisky–just your way–and we will drink to that. Please drink responsibly.

House Tully, located at Riverrun, rules as the lord of The River lands. The power of water flows through both House Tully and The Singleton of Glendullan Select as it is made on the banks of the River Fiddich in the wooded hills of Dufftown. Here they harnessed the water that flowed through the land utilizing a water wheel to power the entire distillery. Best served with a splash of water, this Scotch has notes of orange and clove that open on the nose but on the palate there’s red berry compote and vanilla cheesecake with a pronounced cereal spice finish. These iconic whiskies serve as must-have collectibles for Game of Thrones and whisky adorers. Please drink responsibly.(Please note that boxes might not be available)
