Be an Angel this Father's day!

With Father's Day in a couple of weeks, may we suggest spoiling your Dad with Angels' Nectar Blended Malt Scotch Whisky? 
Inspired by the Angels' share (that's the colourful name given to the whisky lost to evaporation during maturation), our whiskies are vibrant and fresh, and bottled at natural colour. 
Angels' Nectar - Original (formerly the First Edition), has been carefully created from a selection of Speyside and Highland malt whiskies and bottled at 40% Vol.. It is smooth and sweet with hints of apple pie on the nose, followed by heather honey and lemon on the taste.  
Our Rich Peat Edition of Angels' Nectar Blended Malt Scotch Whisky has been bottled at the higher strength of 46%, and as the name suggests is heavily peated. Composed of two highland malts, the Rich Peat oozes a welcoming smoke like the chimney of an old Highland farm house, which is followed by a subtle sweetness akin to toffee apples and dark chocolate. The Rich Peat Edition was awarded two stars in the 2018 Great Taste awards, the criteria for which is 'above and beyond delicious'. 
Amongst others Angels' Nectar is available from AmazonMaster of MaltNickolls & Perks and Whiskishop.
All being well, Dad will 'share' his bottle of Angels' Nectar with you!

It's a wrap: Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching

The sweep team have been out and returned all the Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches to Angels HQ. We had a record 192 register for Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching this year, with guests from Austria, Denmark, Germany and Shetland amongst others. With challenging weather (who'd have thought snow shovels might be useful!), a big congratulations to all who found our Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches. This years champions however are the Coopers, the only group to visit all four Angels' Nectar Whisky Caches.

This event simply would not be possible without the support of the land owners, community groups  and other local businesses that make it possible. They really are our Angels. Thus our thanks are due to: Elephants in the Pantry, Fishing MapsFriends of Ben Rinnes, Friends of Craigellachie Bridge, Glen Rinnes Estate, Strathspey Estate, Spirit of Speyside, and last but not least the Speyside Heather Centre, who painted their pagoda in advance of your visit.

Slainte!

Dram time for the Angels

Angels' Nectar Whisky Caching - Glenrinnes Spoiler

The Glenrinnes Angels' Nectar Whisky Cache is located just off the Ben Rinnes path. Take the path from the car park on the Edinvillie to Glen Rinnes road. After the zig zags, the skyline opens up with a view of the summits in the distance. There are some distinctive boulders (fish like?). The cache is hidden behind them at approx grid reference 281358.
