@The Hamilton Beer & Wine Co.

We are excited to announce our next whisky tasting of 2025!
Some claim that coastal whiskies are a myth and that it’s nigh on impossible for brine and salt to make their way from the sea to your dram. And yet, we find coastal notes in whisky all the time!

Join John as he lines up seven stunning peated and unpeated drams from distilleries that live by the sea and find answers to the following questions. What defines a coastal style? Do all coastal distilleries make coastal whiskies and what role does peat play in the whole process?

Here’s the lineup…
Kilchoman 'Sanaig' Cask Strength 57.8%
Clynelish 10yo Special Release 2023  57.5 %
Tobermory 21yo Oloroso Cask Finish 46.3%
Cladach The Coastal Blend Special Release 2018 57.1%
Caol Ila 15YO Unpeated Style 61.5%
Highland Park Cask Strength Release No.3 64.1%
Ledaig 'Hidden Spirits' 2009/12yo 54.2 %
