The first batch of Swiss single malt from the Highglen Distillery is a 3 year old matured in the distillery's signature 100L hybrid Bourbon-Sherry casks. 46.4%
Producer Description
"We’ve certainly been keeping artist Emily busy with all of these new labels, and here’s another one, and another Swiss distillery fro our ever growing world whisky portfolio. This 3 Year Old Single Malt Swissky was matured in HighGlen’s signature 100 litre casks. A one Man operation, situated on the peak of a Swiss Mountain, heavily inspired by Scotland, and run by the larger than life character, Lord Gunter Sommer. Located in the village of Santa Maria, on the border of Switzerland and Italy, at an altitude more than twice that of Ben Nevis, the distillery has been built into his home."
About the Label
"All of the distillery equipment, apart from the still, was designed and built by Gunter. The power source for the distillery is an array of solar panels on the roof. Gunter primarily uses specially coopered 100 litre casks made from Ex-Bourbon staves, and Ex-Sherry heads."
500 mlProducer Tasting Note

That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.

57.1% - 2018 - 2nd fill ex-Islay barrel
86.75 points Whiskybase
Producer Description
"It's not often that Decadent Drinks dons kevlar and tiptoes south into the Englandshire, but on this occasion, for a very special knees up and several jars of foaming English ale with our friends at Spirit Of Yorkshire distillery, we made the exception. The result of this mission is this wonderful wee cask of Spirit Of Yorkshire. Laid down in 2018 and fully matured in an ex-Islay barrel which has given it a furtive smooch of peat, this is a beautiful, rich and gently smoky young example of this charming English make. Please note: Velociraptor nurses and pimped forklift trucks are not included with the sale of this bottle."

Not legally whisky, owing to the fact it was made with buckwheat, even though it matured 14 years in French Limousin oak. This is the first ever batch of Eddu from That Boutique-y Whisky Co., bottled at 47.9%.
Producer Description
"The distillery blazed a new trail in the whisky world in 2002, by creating the first ever pure buckwheat whisky in the world. “Eddu” means “buckwheat” in the Breton Language. Our ‘Eddu’ has been matured for 14 years, in French Limousin Oak. Buckwheat, a staple of Japanese and European cooking since ancient times, lends the spirit a distinctly earthy body. It's a huge commitment, as buckwheat is four times the price of corn, takes three times as long to mill and is heavy to mash."
About the Label
"Another brand new label for this first ever batch of ‘Eddu’ from French Distillery Menhirs. This small family distillery has roots stretching back to 1921 when the Le Lay family bought a second-hand pot still for distilling cider and extracting brandy commonly known as Lambig."

Batch 1 of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Fary Lochan is a 6 year old bottled at 60.2%.
Producer Description
"Yet another new label for our first ever back from Denmark’s Fary Lochan distillery. It’s a small family distillery, now run by three siblings, and their mother. The distillery is named after the lake on the plot and an ancient spelling of the town, Farre, it’s located in. Founder Jens-Erik Jorgensen, who sadly died in 2016, found inspiration from memories of smoked cheese from his mother used to smoke over fresh nettles. Jens-Erik made his first tests of smoking his whisky-malt with nettles in 2009."
About The Label
"When we learnt that the distillery was located in the village of Farre (which was previously known as Fary) we had that far far away fairy tail image in our head, and so our label is based up on an old style fairy tale woodland glade and a small glistening lake."

The 3rd batch of Slyrs German single malt from That Boutique-y Whisky Company was bottled at 52.6% after maturing 3 years in a "crocodile toast" virgin American oak cask.
Producer Description
"This, our second batch is another 3 Year Old and hails from a new American oak cask, to the heaviest char available, also known as ‘Crocodile Toast’ as the inside of the cask is charred so deep that it resembles the cracked skin of a crocodile. Our first batch from this Bavarian distillery was awarded a Gold medal at The Spirit Business World Whisky Masters, and has always surprised people when told; where it’s from, and how old it is."
About the Label
"Our label features a scene from a Bavarian beer festival, in October, or Oktoberfest if you will. That’s Slyrs’ head distiller Hans with the whisky glasses, and you might recognise the punter with a bottle of this bottling asking him a question."
