Staoisha 8 Year Old Tasting Notes
Nose: Caramel toffee, cinnamon, and gingerbread biscuits. A little star anise, five spices even. Dark fruits, like brambles and figs. A whiff of gunpowder. Sawdust. Crispy bacon and pancetta. And peat smoke, obviously.
Palate: Treacly, punchy, and delicious. Salty seaweeds, umami, oyster sauce and liquorice. More dark fruits.
Finish: Long, full of dark fruits and coastal smoke.
About this WhiskyDudes release
The gift that keeps on giving. Over the last couple of years, WhiskyDudes have released several of these strongly peated sherry monsters. This latest edition, a Staoisha 2014, is now joining its siblings at the highest stage, where it fits in perfectly. This one is more layered, maybe even a bit gentler, than its brothers and sisters. It's very special stuff, and a must-try for those who enjoy Staoisha.

How much is shipping?
Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. Shipping within the UK is free on orders over £100.
What about taxes?
All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.
UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.
We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well.
For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.
Which couriers do you use?
In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL.
