The Scottish
independent bottler Cadenhead’s has announced a new range of whiskies: the February Collection 2026. The series consists of 6 new releases in total, 5 of which are part of the brand’s well-known Original Collection. The sixth is a mystery.
The Cadenhead's February Collection includes a striking 23-year-old Longrow and several whiskies from the Speyside region.
Speyside whiskies form the backbone of the collection
Alongside the Longrow, the new collection also features 5 whiskies from Speyside. Speyside is known for its elegant, fruity single malts and is one of
Scotland’s most important whisky regions.
As usual, these whiskies will reflect the character of their distilleries in terms of flavor.
Cadenhead's is known for selecting casks that showcase this trait and bottling its whiskies accordingly.
The bottler has not disclosed the exact number of bottles per release. That’s common among independent bottlers, which means some releases can become relatively scarce quite quickly.
Which Speyside whiskies from Cadenhead's are confirmed?
The following releases are confirmed for the Cadenhead's February Collection:
- Benrinnes 11 Year Old 46% Single Malt Scotch Whisky Speyside
- Glenallachie Glenlivet 17 Year Old 46% Single Malt Scotch Whisky Speyside

Mystery surrounding the Enigma bottling
The sixth bottle is part of the Enigma Series. In this series, the distillery’s name is deliberately kept secret. So the exact identity of the whisky remains a mystery.
For years, the Enigma line has been known for high-quality whiskies that invite enthusiasts to speculate about their origins. This often sparks debate among collectors and whisky connoisseurs, which only adds to the popularity of these bottlings.
When will the February Collection whiskies be available?
The new Cadenhead's releases are now available in-store and online in the bottler’s webshop. As is customary for Cadenhead’s, all expressions are released without coloring and without chill filtration.
