Whiskies for women: what to stock
Glengoyne 10 Year Old Single Highland Malt, Glengoyne/Ian Macleod Distillers
£23.99 for 70cl bottle
Tasting Note: This golden yellow whisky is remarkably smooth and fiendishly approachable. It has a sweet nose, with toffee and popcorn aromas. Slightly nutty, with fresh green apples coming through and a sweet and malty finish.
Strawberry Kiss, Leith Liqueur Company
£15.99 for a 50cl bottle
Tasting Note: Strawberry Kiss has the taste of succulent summer strawberries with a background of subtle spices, rounded of with a delightful hint of 14-year-old Speyside single malt whisky.
The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky Aged 10 Years, Edrington Group
£15.99 for 70cl bottle
Tasting Note: The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky is created from the finest single malt scotch whiskies, including the Macallan and Highland Park. This golden, clear and bright whisky has a well-balanced aroma with a citrus hint, a full, mature flavour with hints of fruitcake and chocolate orange and clean medium dry finish.
Smokehead, Ian Macleod Distillers
£24.99 for a 70cl bottle
Tasting Note: A rich seaweedy and intensely peaty whisky. The flavour is fresh, fruity and immense, with notes of sherry; iodine, toffee, smoke and sea salt all fighting for recognition. The nose is of heavy smoke and peat with lemon, fresh ginger and plum jam with a peat, spice and mandarin finish.
