England
english 12 year old, single cask
SINGLE MALT WHISKY
70cl / 54%
Football's coming home! This English whisky joins our exclusive Master of Malt collection, ready to accompany you through triumph and tribulation during the World Cup. Distilled in 2013 and matured for a dozen years in a single bourbon cask, bold layers of malt and vanilla are backed by rich oak, cereal, and fresh fruit.
Flavour
Luscious oak, fudgy maltiness, vanilla and cedar on the nose. This strong, bold sipper takes water well, revealing melon rind, molasses, ice cream and waffles, finishing with oak, malt, and cereal, but remaining fruity and fresh.
England
Adnams 9 year old, single cask
English rye WHISKY
70cl / 46.6%
A striking single cask bottling from Adnams – one of our favourite English distilleries, making one of our favourite rye whiskies on the planet! Distilled in 2016 and matured in a French oak wine cask, we bottled this characterfully complex yet gluggable nine-year-old rye for our World Cup series.
Flavour
Appetising creamy, spicy, woody, and sweet aromas open the way for tasty layers of orange cream, ginger, Victoria sponge, and honey. Complex yet gluggable with herbaceous spice on the tail.
SCOTLAND
Ben Nevis 27 year old, single cask
SINGLE MALT WHISKY
70cl / 47.5%
2026 sees Scotland back in the World Cup for the first time since 1998, and we've bottled up this special single malt from Ben Nevis to celebrate! Drawn from one of the most precious casks in our warehouse, this 1998 vintage single malt finished its 27-year maturation in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask. A lucious, complex whisky, brimming with tropical fruit, ice cream, and waffles.
Flavour
Lucious layers of mature oak and herbal malt lead to a palate laden with tropical fruit, melon rind, molasses, and waffles with ice cream. Complex, graceful, and elegant.
SCOTLAND
HIGHLAND 12 year old, single cask
SINGLE MALT WHISKY
70cl / 46.3%
Humble, proud, complex, and approachable, this whisky is a reflection of everything we love about Scotch whisky, and indeed, the Scottish people themselves. The perfect dram for the Tartan Army to raise during the World Cup! Distilled in 2014, this Highland single malt spent 12 years maturing in an oloroso sherry hogshead before bottling for our own Master of Malt World Cup series.
Flavour
Fruity, nutty, terribly friendly on the nose. The palate opens with roasted nuts and sultanas – salty, sweet, and moreish, with sweet, meaty complexity.
REPUBLIC OF Ireland
Irish 8 year old, DOUBLE cask
IRISH WHISKEY
70cl / 43.4%
It's with great dismay that we heard the news that Ireland didn't qualify for the 2026 World Cup. We had faith. At least we can raise a glass in spirit. Two distinct casks of Irish whiskey come together to create this magnificent blend – one 12-year-old red wine cask and one eight-year-old first-fill bourbon cask combine to deliver a medley of tannic oak, juicy melon, and vanilla custard, making it a deliciously moreish dram.
Flavour
Fresh, fruity, wonderfully juicy on the nose. Tannic oak on the palate is lifted by fleshy fruit sweetness, finishing with grapes, melons, and vanilla custard.
