7th July 2002

We have today launched our new look website. It should be easier for you to use,
so hopefully you will buy more whisky from us..??
We hope to add more new products to the non-whisky sections over the next few months.
If there are particular products you would like us to list on the site, please let us know.
Our Search function is very helpful and should be able to find what you are looking for.

We shall be launching a very special new product for the Queen's Golden Jubilee in the next few days.
We were disappointed that none of the major companies were releasing special products for this
important event, so we decided to get a unique Cryrstal decanter commissioned for ourselves.
Only 50 decanters available, so watch this space..!!!

Glenmorangie - Sauternes Finish
The spirit spent about 2 years in a Sauternes cask, from the finest & the most famous Grand Cru wine of this area.
It has taken on lovely gold colour.The whisky tastes lusciously rich & sweet.
A very creamy texture with a strong vanilla / honeyed flavour.
It leaves a gentle warm feeling as it goes down. Very different & nice.

14th February 2002

Hot off the press...Bottled by Glen Garioch Distillery exclusively for TWE.
This bottling is unchill-filtered and is from an oloroso sherry cask no.1585.
It has a lovely mahogany colour and tasting notes are as follows:
A combination of cocoa, treacle and raisins give a complex sweetness on the nose.
The palate is rewarded by sweet toffee overtones
followed by a subtle smokiness and delicate floral notes.
