This Kilchoman single malt single cask bottling was matured for 15 years in a refill Oloroso sherry cask and bottled to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hanseatische Weinhandelsgesellschaft. Three sets of sister casks were released for The Sister Casks series. The casks in The Sister Cask series were distilled and bottled on the same day, hence the name of the series. Six unique and previously unreleased Kilchoman single casks have been carefully selected and released exclusively to mark the retailer's anniversary. This selection of single malt whiskies includes single casks from the early years of distillation, of which Kilchoman only has a limited number available. These include, for the first time, Oloroso sherry single cask maturations and a 100% Islay malt with an age statement.

This Bunnahabhain single malt special edition was created exclusively for the 'Fèis Ìle 2024' whisky festival. The characterful whisky matured for 23 years in three different sherry casks. The Amontillado sherry casks were filled on 4 November 2009, Oloroso sherry casks on 20 June 2011 and finally Manzanilla casks were added, which were filled on 12 September 2016. Master blender Julieann Fernandez blended the casks with the utmost precision and bottled the final result at 53.3% natural cask strength. The distillation process, in which only lightly peated and malted barley is blended, and the remote location, with very pure spring water from the Margadale spring, set this whisky apart from the 8 other distilleries on the island in terms of flavour. The Fèis Ìle Festival takes place annually at the end of May on the island of Islay, where numerous creations from the smoky single malt world are presented, bands and musicians perform and a dram or two is savoured.

Six unique and previously unreleased Kilchoman single casks were used, which were carefully selected.

The 10-year-old Staoisha single malt from Bunnahabhain is part of the Cask Collection series from independent bottler A.D. Rattray. It matured for 8 years in a bourbon hogshead and was then matured for 218 months in a Tkaji cask. A barrique holds 225 litres. This type of barrel was originally used as a transport barrel for wine exports. The pre-fermentation of the barrique with Hungarian white wine adds facets of orchard fruits and mineral accents to the matured whisky. Originally a trading company founded by Andrew Dewar Rattray, his descendant Tim Morrison developed the company into an independent bottler with its own brands. All whiskies in the Cask Collection are not chill-filtered and are colourless.

Bowmore The Changeling represents another series from the Islay distillery. The 22-year-old single malt tells the story of a blacksmith who rescues his son from the clutches of the "Fairy Folk", who had previously kidnapped the boy and foisted another child on the father. As with the previous series 'No Corners To Hide', Scottish comic artist and illustrator Frank Quitely was commissioned to design the bottle and outer packaging. The whisky matured in American oak hogsheads and then matured in tawny port casks. The bottling also has an older sibling from The Changeling range, which was bottled after 33 years of maturation.
