Glenmorangie Original is one of our go-to single malts. It’s a wickedly satisfying and affordable Highland whisky. Fruity, malty, and just plain delicious, it punches way above its price point.

Even in hard times, it’s important to treat yourself a little. One of our favorite indulgences is a bottle of GlenDronach 15. Soft and rich, with notes full of wood, leather, tobacco, it’s happiness in a glass.

In our age of social distancing, this year’s St. Patrick’s Day fell a bit flat. But you can still bring a smile to Irish eyes with a bottle of The Sexton Single Malt. Triple distilled and aged in Oloroso Sherry casks for four years, this affordable whiskey is chalked full of pleasant notes of dried fruit, apricots, honey and lemon.

If you need something smoky to sip on, grab a bottle of Ardbeg Corryveckan. Through a supple layer of smoke lies a complex dram with rich sherry notes, dark fruit, and pepper with a slow, lingering finish that lasts well into the next glass.

Teeling’s Single Malt expression is one of our favorite Irish whiskies. The brand takes juice aged in ex-bourbon casks and finishes it in a quintet of different types of wine barrels – sherry, port, cabernet, white Burgundy and Madeira. The resulting dram is soft, rich, and fruity. With every sip you can try to suss out the influence of each of the barrels used in the aging process.
