Lochnidaal 13 Year Old Tasting Notes

Without water

Colour: Apple juice

Nose: Strawberry jam, mango coulis drizzled around vanilla cheesecake. Raisin Danish pastry, pecan pie with a chocolate-coated base, dulce de leche ice cream. Struck matches, rubber balloons, plus party hats made from paper, card and feathers, and starched lace doilies.

Palate: Soft mouthfeel that fills your palate with coal smoke. Gives way to rubber tyres and burnt strawberry jam in an aluminium pan. Opens up to vanilla cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut bars and beeswax candles.

Finish: Gentle smoke puffs and vintage plastic candleholders with birthday cake on the spikes.

With water

Nose: Edinburgh rock, gentle smoke from a wood fire in an old pub with polished horse brasses hanging from the fireplace, a wicker basket with oak logs to the side. Hops, oatcakes, Victoria sponge cake with vanilla essence. Tinned peaches and tangerine segments, coconut ice and mango pudding.

Palate: Wood smoke, apple crumble with a burnt top, crème brûlée, crème caramel, slightly bunt Victoria sponge cake with a thick vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam filling. Semi-melted chocolate buttons and rich hazelnut and chocolate spread on buttery brioche.

Finish: Water reveals larger smoke puffs and hazelnuts.

Shipping and taxes

Where can you ship?

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

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, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

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. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

Carbon neutral?

Yes, all our deliveries are carbon neutral. We work with Planet to estimate the carbon impact of each delivery, and then purchase carbon removal credits to offset the emissions.

Meet The Founder

Michael Barbaria

Swell de Spirits was founded by Michael Barbaria in 2021. Michael's two great loves in life are exceptional spirits, and surfing. So he launched independent bottler Swell de Spirits to combine his love of both.

In a relatively short period Michael has made a big mark on the world of artisan spirits. And gained quite a fan base around the world. Rather than focus on one particular spirits category, Michael bottles them all - as he loves them all. From world whiskies, through rums, to cognacs and more. But what they all have in common is that they really are exceptional quality. Michael has an excellent palate and leans towards big flavour bombs. Each of his releases is beautifully present, and some of the label designs are works of pop art in their own right.
