The 12-year-old Wild Turkey was bottled especially for the Japanese market. The deep amber colour is due to the long maturation period in heavily charred oak barrels, the interior of which is designated with burn level 4, the so-called 'alligator char'. The name comes from the strength of the burn, which chars the inside of the barrel to resemble the armoured skin of an alligator.

The name Glenlivet 'Code' already says everything about the bottle. As mysterious as the bottle looks, so are its contents. The Glenlivet Code was brought to market without any indication of the cask and the flavour profile. The Glenlivet distillery wanted to take you on a voyage of discovery and test your personal knowledge of Single Malt whiskies. Inspired by the famous British 'code breakers', this limited edition is a labyrinth of flavours that will test the senses of the most discerning whisky drinkers. Meanwhile, the exact tasting notes of the Glenlivet Code have been revealed.

I.W. Harper has only been on the market again since 2015. 15 years is a proud age for a Bourbon. The brand itself can also look back on a long tradition. The first whiskey was distilled under the name I.W. Harper as early as 1872. Production was discontinued in the 1980s.

Blackened is a blend of hand-selected, well-aged North American Bourbon and Rye whiskeys that resulted from the collaboration of the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and the band Metallica. The Blend was uniquely matured in black brandy barrels while music by Metallica was played at full volume. This is to allow the liquid to penetrate deeper into the barrel staves. A very creative, new approach to maturation.

In the 100 Proof Edition from Signatory Vintage, exclusive whiskies are bottled with an alcohol content of at least 57.1% vol. The term proof is an ancient unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, especially whisky, which indicates the minimum alcohol content above which gunpowder soaked in the liquid can be ignited. This method was used in the heyday of seafaring so that the barrels in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea. The series fills a gap in the Signatory range. The 9-year-old Blair Athol 100 Proof Edition #3 single malt matured in first fill Oloroso sherry butts and was bottled at 57.1% vol. without the addition of colour and without chill-filtering.

The Colombian producer of Gin, cigars and coffee is best known for its rum. Dictador was founded in 1913 in Cartagena on the northern coast of Colombia. Great importance is attached to careful production and well-kept recipes, which are continued today by the third generation of the Parra family. This 12-year-old Dictador rum is made from the fermentation of pure sugar cane honey, which is distilled partly in Copper Pot Stills and partly in a Continuous Steel Column Still. The South American rum is matured in ex-bourbon barrels made of American oak and receives a subsequent finish in sherry casks.

The Aberlour Double Cask is matured partly in American oak casks and partly in Spanish sherry casks. After maturation, the malts were married together. This gives this Aberlour its distinctive fruitiness.
