About The Whisky Exchange
Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh have worked in retail their whole lives. As kids, they helped out at their parents’ wine and spirits store, “The Nest,” in Hanwell. It’s a family business that has been in the drinks business since 1972 and was named “Off-License of the Year” in 1992. By the middle of the 1990s, Sukhinder, the older brother, already had a huge collection of whisky. He started collecting tiny bottles in the mid-1980s and moved on to full-size bottles a few years later.
But the company’s real selling point was and still is its huge collection of old, rare, or no longer made whisky bottles, which was built up over many years of careful collecting. Long-term customers who want to get rid of their personal collections are one source for these bottles. Another source is a random call or walk-in customer who found or received a dusty old bottle in a relative’s cellar or attic. When these people look up information about their find on the internet or call sale houses to find out how much their bottles are worth, they are usually sent to The Whisky Exchange and Sukhinder, who know a huge amount about older bottles.
American Whiskey
From Washington to Virginia, the entire nation is responsible for the production of American whisky, which is a tradition that is both rich and diverse. Each location contributes its own distinctive flavour and style to the manufacturing of whisky, which results in a wide range of flavours and styles. The state of Tennessee is home to whiskies that are known for their particular character, which is smooth and sweet. Rye whiskies, on the other hand, offer a more daring alternative with their spicy undertones. In order to get a lively and fresh profile that embodies the essence of American ingenuity in distilling, the use of unaged maize is a significant contributor. The range of American whisky is highlighted by this variety, which demonstrates the country’s vast utilisation of a variety of grains and production techniques to make great spirits.
Blanton’s Original
Originally debuted in 1984, Blanton’s Original is a superb single-barrel whisky that marks the beginning of a legendary history from among America’s most well-known bourbon manufacturers. Matured in American white oak casks, this bourbon has a sophisticated and appealing taste with hints of citrus, ripe fruit, and a little of spice. The aroma develops to expose stronger notes of oak, vanilla, chocolate, toffee, and beeswask. Blanton’s Original is on the palate full-bodied and deeply spiced, providing a complex mix of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, vanilla, and ginger. Both lovers and experts value bourbon because each taste offers a complex experience that accentuates its extraordinary workmanship and unique character.
Jeptha Creed Straight Four Grain Bourbon
Crafted with a unique blend of grains, Straight Four Grain Bourbon by Jeptha Creed is an exquisitely balanced manifestation of spicy and sweet depth. A distinctive flavour profile is achieved by blending 70% Bloody Butcher corn with 15% malted rye, 10% malted wheat and 5% malted barley to make this bourbon. The fragrant notes that greet the nose are a medley of red berries, peach cobbler, blackberry jam, and geraniums, along with dried apricots, hydrangea, and vanilla cream. Rich nutmeg, clove, toasted pecan, and mint flavours dance together to create an enchanting and harmonious palate that is just as enthralling as the nose. The extraordinary skill and imagination that went into making Jeptha Creed’s Straight Four Grain Bourbon are on full display in its complex and multi-layered personality.
Angel’s Envy Bourbon
An unique variation on classic bourbon, Angel’s Envy Bourbon uses a finishing method influenced by Scotch whisky. A further three to six months of ageing in port barrels adds a new dimension of depth to the flavour profile of this bourbon, following its first maturity. The combination of the traditional bourbon’s sweet caramel and grain flavours with the thick, sticky wine notes supplied by the port barrel creates an enthralling match. By taking a fresh approach, the bourbon is given more depth and character while also being given a refined sweetness and a touch of fruitiness. The result is a spirit that is both balanced and unique. Indulge in the unforgettable and exquisite flavour of Angel’s Envy, a true work of art in the realm of whisky.

Wild Turkey Longbranch
The full-bodied and beautifully balanced Wild Turkey Longbranch bourbon has a rich and round mouthfeel with notes of smokiness, honey, and freshness. Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell and the brand’s Creative Director, the award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, worked together in a unique way to create this extraordinary spirit. An homage to the home states of its inventors, Longbranch stands out for its innovative refinement method that uses charcoal from both Kentucky white oak and Texan mesquite.
