The Whisky Exchange has been busy listing new bottles through February and March 2026. We've gone through the recent arrivals and picked out 10 of the most interesting - whether for their rarity, their value, or just because they caught our eye. Each one links through to TWE if you want to take a closer look.

Compass Box Hedonism - 2026 Release

Compass Box Hedonism - 2026 Release

£92.50 · 46% ABV · 70cl

The fourth annual limited edition of Compass Box's grain whisky showcase, and the first under new creative director Angela D'Orazio. This year's muse is actress Karen Gillan - but more importantly, the blend features components up to 30 years old from Strathclyde, Port Dundas, and Cameronbridge. Expect clove, fruitcake, toffee, and cocoa. Previous releases have sold out within weeks.
Glenlivet Wildflower Honey - 17 Year Old

Glenlivet Wildflower Honey - 17 Year Old

£125.00 · 55.3% ABV · 70cl

Part of Glenlivet's Small Batch Collection, this 17-year-old is a natural cask strength release with an unusually evocative name. At 55.3%, it's bottled with enough punch to reward a splash of water. This is the kind of distillery release that tends to disappear quietly and resurface at a premium.
Kilchoman 100% Islay - 11 Year Old Sherry Cask

Kilchoman 100% Islay - 11 Year Old Sherry Cask

£80.25 · 50% ABV · 70cl

Kilchoman continues to prove that farm distillery whisky can compete with the Islay establishment. This 11-year-old is made entirely from Islay-grown barley, matured in sherry casks, and bottled at 50%. It's available from multiple UK retailers - we found it at TWE, Master of Malt, and Tyndrum - so you can shop around.
Caol Ila 15 Year Old - Spirit of Scotland (Gordon & MacPhail)

Caol Ila 15 Year Old - Spirit of Scotland (Gordon & MacPhail)

£82.95 · 57% ABV · 70cl

Gordon & MacPhail's Spirit of Scotland series consistently delivers excellent single cask bottlings at sensible prices. This Caol Ila 2010 vintage from cask #307585 is no exception - 15 years old, cask strength at 57%, and available from five of the six retailers we track. That kind of availability rarely lasts.
Inverleven 1985 - 38 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice

Inverleven 1985 - 38 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice

£1,950.00 · 57.9% ABV · 70cl

Inverleven was a Lowland malt distillery within the Dumbarton grain complex, demolished in 2002. Bottlings from closed distilleries hold a particular fascination - they're history you can drink. This 38-year-old single cask from Gordon & MacPhail is exactly the kind of bottle that collectors and serious drinkers look for. At nearly £2,000 it's an investment, but these only become rarer.
Speyburn 15 Year Old - Sherry Cask Connoisseurs Choice

Speyburn 15 Year Old - Sherry Cask Connoisseurs Choice

£127.00 · 60.2% ABV · 70cl

Speyburn doesn't get the attention of its Speyside neighbours, which is exactly why single cask bottlings like this are worth watching. Distilled in 2008, matured in sherry cask #552, and bottled at a hefty 60.2% ABV. Gordon & MacPhail have a knack for picking casks from underrated distilleries.
Fuji 50th Anniversary Edition - Single Malt

Fuji 50th Anniversary Edition - Single Malt

£475.00 · 52.5% ABV · 70cl

Japanese whisky collectors take note. Kirin's Fuji-Gotemba distillery is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a pair of limited releases - a single malt and a single blended whisky. Japanese whisky at this level tends to be allocated rather than widely available, so the fact that TWE has stock is notable.
Ben Nevis 12 Year Old - Decadent Drams

Ben Nevis 12 Year Old - Decadent Drams

£92.75 · 53% ABV · 70cl

Ben Nevis is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland, and its heavy, waxy spirit has developed a cult following among indie bottling enthusiasts. This 2012 vintage from Decadent Drams is bottled at a natural 53% and sits at a very accessible price point for what Ben Nevis can deliver.
Myken Arctic Island Range - Three Norwegian Whiskies

Myken Arctic Island Range - Three Norwegian Whiskies

£69.95–74.95 · 47–51% ABV · 70cl

Three new releases from Myken, a small distillery on an island off the Norwegian coast, well above the Arctic Circle. Ocean Heart and Sea Mist are bottled at 47%, while Autumn Gale steps up to 51%. Norwegian whisky is still a novelty to most drinkers, but Myken has been building a quiet reputation. At under £75, these are an affordable way in.
Macallan Diamonds Are Forever - 18 Year Old (2007)

Macallan Diamonds Are Forever - 18 Year Old (2007)

£600.00 · 70cl

A James Bond–themed Macallan from 2007, newly listed at TWE. The "Diamonds Are Forever" label was part of a series of Bond-inspired limited editions. Whether you're a Macallan collector, a Bond fan, or both, this is the kind of bottle where the story adds to the value. At £600, it's priced below what comparable Bond editions have fetched at auction.
