Although the exact origins of the brown stuff can be debated for an eternity, one thing we can all agree on is that it’s delicious! With the practice of distilling water being traced way back to ancient China, the process soon found its way to the Middle East for the production of perfume. It was the catholic monks we can thank for bringing it back to Europe where any beer that was not drank in time and about to go off was distilled in order to avoid wastage. This clear spirit was enjoyed straight off the still and was a much stronger and livelier drop compared to what will be in your glass this fine evening! It was the mighty cask that soon came about to tame this fiery spirit. For a minimum time of 3 years (usually much longer) the spirit mingles with the cask until it can be officially christened whisk(e)y. 3 INTRODUCTION With whisk(e)y today being more popular than it has ever been, there is no better time to enjoy it. Gone are the days where the older it is the better; we are now wise to the fact that there are numerous qualities that equate to what makes a good nip of whiskey. Where was it made? What was it made with? How strong is it? What cask was it matured in? Do I need ice with this one? Am I having a good/bad day?... and so on. With our joint belief at 1806 being that ‘Whisk(e)y is for drinking’, please enjoy our selection, as we celebrate tradition and what’s to come for the water of life. You’re in good hands here! *Spelling with or without the ‘e’ is a common debate we at 1806 deem pointless. If you want to spell it correctly it goes U-I-S-C-E B-E-A-T-H-A. #bar1806 4 FLIGHTS ABV% CASK STYLE A BONNIE AULD TASTING $50.00 Taste the fortunes of Scotland from coast to coast with this dynamic flight - covering the Lowlands, the Highlands, Speyside and Islay.

Sadly, due to a few dodgy producers opting for the quantity over quality approach, we find ourselves today with a Campeltown sporting only 3 distilleries. Luckily, the whisky making lads and lasses remaining are very hands on and churning out some of the highest quality scotch you’ll find. 14 CAMPBELTOWN ABV% CASK STYLE PRICE 1 / GLENGYLE DISTILLERY EST. 1872 / glen-guy-uhl SMOKY & BOURBON KILKERRAN 8 CASK STR. 56.2% RICH 18.00 2 / GLEN SCOTIA DISTILLERY EST. 1832 / glen-sco-sha SPICED & BOURBON 15 YEAR OLD 46.0% RICH 25.00 BOURBON RICH & DOUBLE CASK 46.0% & PX SHERRY DELICATE 22.00 3 / SPRINGBANK DISTILLERY EST. 1828 BOURBON LIGHT & LONGROW 46.0% & SHERRY SMOKY 20.00 RICH & BOURBON HAZELBURN 10 YEAR 46.0% DELICATE 19.00 15 LOWLANDS 3 1 4 2 Celebrated for its generally lighter style of whisky (breakfast whisky anyone?) these drams are perfect for introducing that special someone – or anyone - to your malt addiction. A nice range of whiskies even sees the use of triple distillation perfectly executed. The haters may call this whisky English – don’t listen to them, they’re probably from the Highlands. 16 LOWLANDS ABV% CASK STYLE PRICE 1 / AUCHENTOSHAN DISTILLERY EST. 1823 / awk-en-tosh-en BOURBON, SPICED & THREE WOOD 43.0% PX & OLOROSSO RICH 16.00 RICH & BOURBON 18 YEAR OLD 43.0% DELICATE 24.00 2 / BLADNOCH DISTILLERY EST. 1817 / blad-nock BOURBON SPICED & 17 YEAR OLD 46.7% & RED WINE RICH 25.00 3 / CAMBUS DISTILLERY EST. 1836 RICH & SHERRY 25 YEAR OLD 1991 50.3% DELICATE 60.00 4 / GLENKINCHIE DISTILLERY EST. 1837 / glen-kin-chee DELICATE & BOURBON 12 YEAR OLD 43.0% LIGHT 16.00 17 ISLANDS 3 1 4 5 2 The vast array of picturesque islands surrounding the mainland would have once- upon-a-time been the perfect locations to distil without grief from the King/Queen/authorities.
