10 premium malt whiskies you’ll find at Flora
Malt whisky is the distilled product derived from brewing malted barley with spring water, which is usually located next to the distillery. This first distillation is then either blended with other malts (creating the well-known blended whisky) or bottled as is.
The taste and aromas of each malt depend on factors such as the quality of the barley, the unique characteristics of the water, and the size and shape of the distillation still. The distillate is then placed in oak barrels to mature and age for a minimum of 3 years, with a maximum of 50. We recommend 10 malt whisky labels that you can find in our stores, at Cava Flora 84600.
Glenfiddich 18 Year Old
Spanish Oloroso and American oak barrels combine harmoniously for the maturation of this rich, tantalizingly fruity and full-bodied oaky distillate. But that’s not the only reason behind the uniqueness of this whisky. Each batch is specially numbered and closely monitored. Every batch displays exceptional consistency, develops character through an intense period of marrying the distillates, and builds a warm, refined finish.
A truly exceptional single malt, which is not merely the result of 18 years of undivided care and attention, but springs forth through the art and knowledge of generations of whisky-making.
Lagavulin 16 Year Old
Long fermentation, extended distillation, and maturation in bourbon oak barrels together ensure that Lagavulin has developed its rich character.
Deep amber in color, it exudes aromas of peat, smoke, iodine, and seaweed.
The flavor carries powerful notes of peat and dried fruits, with an explosion of peppery smoke at the back, leading to a long finish. Recognizable like no other from the very first sip, it has passionate fans all over the world.
Glenlivet Malt 21 Year Old
George Smith, appreciating the uniqueness of the region’s climate, established the distillery in Speyside, next to a natural spring, creating a malt whisky of unparalleled quality.
The 21 Y.O. Glenlivet matures in very small barrels of different types and is produced in limited quantities, representing the flagship of the distillery.
Each barrel is tasted and approved individually, making every batch unique. Amber in color, with a complex aroma of dried fruits, cinnamon, ginger, and liquorice.
Best enjoyed slowly and neat.
Aberfeldy 21 Year Old
The Aberfeldy 21 Year Old is the crown jewel of Scottish malt whiskies.
Deep golden color with amber hues and pleasant aromas of heather honey, which combine perfectly with notes of fruit, vanilla, and smoked wood. The flavor carries hints of oranges from the mysterious city of Seville, lending it lasting depth.
The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask
The Macallan Double Cask 18 Year Old sits at the top of the Double Cask family, offering greater complexity, balanced with a warm woody feel.
It has a rich, amber color and is characterized by notes of dried fruits, ginger, and butterscotch.
The warm finish of woody spices is balanced by flavors of citrus fruits and sweet orange. A rich single malt that needs time to unfold its aromas in the glass.
Mackmyra Moment Efva
Moment Efva is an elegant single malt whisky that emerged from a creative collaboration with jewelry designer Efva Attling.
A request for more pronounced sweetness resulted in the use of a barrel that had previously aged cherry wine.
The edition is decorated with a silver cork designed by Efva.
Each Moment edition has a very limited number of bottles released, and you can expect at least one new Moment edition per year. For this particular Limited Edition, only 4,111 bottles were produced. Maturation: Former Bourbon, Oloroso, American oak, birch wine (finish), cherry wine (finish).
Glenmorangie 18 Year Old
One of the top single malt whiskies on the market. It is no coincidence that it is consistently awarded in international competitions and appeals to whisky connoisseurs with refined taste. Made from 100% Scottish barley and water from the proprietary ancient Tarlogie spring. It is distilled in the tallest stills in Scotland, for which the Glenmorangie distillery is renowned. It then matures for 15 years in new American oak barrels.
At that point, a portion of the distillate is transferred to Sherry casks for an extra 3 years of finishing, before being blended with the rest at the end of the 18-year period.
Highland Park 18 Year Old
The 18 Year Old Viking Pride is the most awarded single malt whisky from the Highland Park distillery, having received both a Gold Award and the title of Ultimate Recommendation (with a score of 96) at the International Spirits Challenge 2021.
Aged primarily in first fill European sherry as well as American oak casks, this superb 18-year-old single malt pays tribute to the 5 cornerstones of the distillery’s production and presents a refined blend of ripe cherries dusted with bittersweet cocoa, freshly cut honeycomb, and candied orange peel. There is a note of the characteristic sea breeze of the Orkney region in the aromatic peaty smoke. This multi-awarded whisky has been produced at the Highland Park distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, since 1798. Age, experience, and respect for tradition may define their whisky, but it is the Orkney region itself that makes it special. Something magical happens there, and the result is the wild harmony of flavors contained within a single bottle.
Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky
A premium malt whisky with sweet and fruity notes.
It harmoniously combines the powerful character of the Yoichi distillery with smoky and salty elements, as well as the elegance of the Miyagikyo distillery.
In the finish, the intensity of charred oak strongly reminds us of the character of Japanese malts.
A premium whisky — a tribute to the creator of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru. Just as Taketsuru always sought perfection in blended whiskies, so too did the Master Blenders in crafting this fine whisky.
Bushmills Single Malt 21 Year Old
The Bushmills 21 Year Old Single Malt is an exceptional and multi-awarded whisky, released in limited quantities each year.
It matures for at least 19 years in bourbon and Spanish sherry casks, then rests for a further two years in Spanish Madeira wine casks. The result is an exceptional and multi-layered single malt whisky with a rich, long, and sweet malty flavor.
