Cadenhead’s Enigma series

The whiskies bottled in the Cadenhead’s Enigma series are just that – unusual, hard to quantify, perhaps even slightly contradictory. They can be single casks, vattings of multiple casks, blends, blended malts or whatever else they can find that doesn’t fit into their existing bottling lineup but meets their only essential criteria – that they’re good.

We finally came to posting these two Enigma bottlings

Looking for some products of the Springbank family?

Kilkerran, Hazelburn, Longrow and Springbank are all coming from two distilleries, but they are all part of the Springbank family for me.

Most of them are hard to get your hands on, especially the limited releases like the recent 10yo Palo Cortado.

WELL GREAT NEWS!!! SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN STOCK OF THEM:

How much do you want these? Springbank Palo Cortado, Longrow 21y, Springbank 15y, Hazelburn 15y Sherry, Cadenhead’s Enigma 25y blend, …

The long awaited Springbank distillery gems have recently arrived.

Unfortunately, these bottles are too often left unopened and are frequently sold by collectors at significant profits at auctions.

At Thistle, we hope that our customers purchase these bottles to taste and share with friends. We offer the bottles above at regular retail prices, but under certain conditions:

  • Existing customers will have a pre-sale opportunity and will be notified via email, where they can purchase the offered bottles with a password.
  • Due to the extremely limited allocation, we are offering only one bottle per customer.
  • There will be a social media campaign linked to the sale (so it won’t be the wealthiest, the quickest, etc., customer who can purchase a bottle, but the customer who comes up with the most creative approach and who supports and stayed loyal to our store).

Our mail to all existing customers will go out in the first week of 2024, so you still have the opportunity to become an existing client and participate in the campaign to buy one of these bottles at normal retail prices.

Belgians don’t know their Port

Quinta do Vesuvio estate logo

Belgians may think they know Port wine, but often their knowledge doesn’t go beyond an oxidized bottle of cheap port hidden in grandma’s cupboard, only to be brought out once a year during some holiday.

There are three main styles of Port: ruby, tawny, and vintage. It’s the latter that we are delighted to offer you now.

Are you looking for something that most people have never really tasted?

Are you searching for a high-quality option that comes with an incredible story and craftsmanship?

Are you looking for a ready-to-drink gift or something to age for decades until that special moment?

Are you seeking the perfect accompaniment for your cheese selection or dessert?

Here, we have two Vintage Ports from 2012 and 2018.

To keep it simple, treat these as very good, red wines meant for aging. Decant them, let them breathe, take your time, explore the complexity of the aromas, and savor the experience.

Cheers!
