Noss Head will retail for £39.99 ($61.50 USD), and is matured in ex-Bourbon casks. Duncansby Head is matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, and will sell for £44.99 ($69), while Pentland Skerries is matured in Spanish Oak ex-Sherry casks, and will sell for £54.99 ($84.50) per bottle.

All three expressions will be available worldwide through travel retail shops.
