For two years, Rivêa was a bottle you had to cross the Atlantic to buy. The Lakes Distillery released it exclusively in the United States in April 2023, first in Chicago and Washington DC. Now The Whisky Shop has it as a UK exclusive at £99, which means the fragrant, Riviera-inspired single malt that American…

The Old Elk 10-Year-Old Collection is a three-bottle range of decade-aged American whiskies, and the first major release since Middle West Spirits acquired Old Elk in May 2025. It includes a Straight Bourbon (51% corn, 34% malted barley, 15% rye; 52.5% ABV), a Straight Wheat Whiskey (96% wheat, 4% malted barley; 51.5% ABV), and a…

Strathearn Batch 03 is the newest small batch Highland single malt from Strathearn, one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries, now under the wing of independent bottler Douglas Laing.

Stranahan’s Bottled in Bond is the Denver distillery’s first release made to the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond standard, and it is billed as the oldest Colorado Bottled-in-Bond whiskey ever released. It is an 11-year-old American single malt, distilled from 100% malted barley in a single 2015 season, matured in new American white oak in a federally bonded Denver…

A Danish ice cream maker has taken Stauning’s Rye whisky, not the bottled version but the raw spirit lifted straight from a single cask at 62%, and churned it into a scoop. Kastbergs Cask Whisky ice cream is the result of a collaboration between ice cream maker Joachim Kastberg and Stauning Whisky, and for now…

Decadent Drinks has dropped seven new bottles in one batch, and the spread is deliberately all over the map. It runs from a 31-year-old Tomatin matured in a plain refill hogshead to a 120-bottle Calvados built with the Roger Groult estate in Normandy, with waxy Clynelish, coastal young Glenglassaugh, richly sherried Glen Grant, an undisclosed…

The final Rosebank casks filled before the distillery fell silent in 1993, and Tamdhu sherry casks reaching back to the 1960s, are now available to buy directly from the company that owns them.
