Mortlach 20 Year Old | Massive Attack – “Angel”
"The dark pulsing bass that opens this track talks to the deep forbidden richness of Mortlach 20 year old, whilst the ticking of the metronome indicates the attention to detail and time spent perfecting the balance of sweet and savoury. Elegant sophistication wrapped around something dark and mysterious."

Mortlach 30 Year Old | Portishead – “Glory Box”

Talisker 25 Year Old | Bloc Party – “Banquet”
"This is a tightly produced track with energy and an underlying tension. The brash guitar riffs work beautifully with Talisker 25 – throughout the track there’s a feeling of barely restrained power which reflects the flavour profile of the whisky perfectly."
Listen nowTalisker 30 Year Old | The Black Keys – “Howlin’ For You”
Talisker 30 Year Old | The Black Keys – “Howlin’ For You”
"The Black Keys laid down this track in an ancient recording studio using vintage instruments and yet it has a raw energy beating at it’s core. Talisker 30 is no different – it is high aged with all of the richness and depth you’d expect, with an intense and powerful heart."

The Singleton 40 Year Old | Dorothy Ashby – “Soul Vibrations”
"Dorothy Ashby was one of the most boldly creative jazz musicians of her era, and her sound has influenced and been sampled by numerous modern day hip-hop artists. This track brings together funk, jazz and a driving beat that transcends genre and paves the way for future innovation. In a similar vein, the Singleton 40 pushed the boundaries of innovation years ahead of its time and created something truly spectacular whilst doing so."
Listen nowBrora | Lubomyr Melnky – “Parasol”
Brora | Lubomyr Melnky – “Parasol”
"Credited with pioneering the “continuous music” genre, Lubomyr Melnyk’s incredibly fast piano playing blends notes together into a flowing river of sound. “Parasol” has a captivating repetitive sound which reveals more and more of itself the longer you listen, just as whiskies from Brora reward those who spend the time unraveling the layers of complexity they hold."

Port Ellen Gemini | Agnes Obel – “Familiar”
"This brilliant track by Agnes Obel focuses on the concept that personality is not permanent and can change. This is brought to life by using two tones of the same voice which echo and intertwine. As well as being a beautiful piece of music this perfectly reflects the dual nature of Port Ellen Gemini with one liquid evolving into two versions of itself."
Listen nowJohnnie Walker Blue Label | Sabres of Paradise – “Theme”
Johnnie Walker Blue Label | Sabres of Paradise – “Theme”
"This brilliant track starts with some brash horns and a driving beat which are soon joined by some really funky distorted bass. There are layers of sound working together to create a glorious soundstage that is cool and modern yet grown up and sophisticated too. It perfectly reflects the flavour and style of the most iconic luxury Scotch Whisky in the world."
