Boutique-y Irish SM Batch #1.4 50ml
$10.00
This 50ml / mini bottle of Irish Whiskey was featured on Day 11 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
Could this juice be from Cooley? The signs look good... and boy do we love the juice from Cooley! A 14 year Irish Single Malt bottled at 47.6%.
Producer Description: "Our fourth batch from this undisclosed Irish distillery is a 14 Year Old, a release of just 2,116 bottles at 47.6% abv. If you know your Irish Whiskey history, then you should be able to close down on the distilleries this could come from. It’s a single malt, so that rules out Ireland’s largest distillery, Midleton as they don’t make a single malt."
About the Label
"The inspiration for this label comes straight out of a British made sitcom called ‘Father Ted’ It originally aired on Channel 4 from April 1995 and ran for just three series up until May 1998 Set on the fictional Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland's west coast, the show is about three priests exiled on the island for various past incidents. Our label comes from an episode called ‘A Song for Europe’ that featured ‘My lovely Horse’"
Boutique-y Aberlour 9 Year Old 50ml
$12.00
This mini bottle from That Boutique-y Whisky Company was featured on Day 19 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
This is the 6th Batch of Aberlour was bottled released by That Boutique-y Whisky Company in 2018. It was bottled at 9 years old and at 49.7%. 3080 of the company's standard 500ml bottles were made in total. Though you cannot tell by the colour of the whisky alone, this bottling of Aberlour sure looks like it could be a lot less sherried than the official releases we see from the distillery.... Interesting.
About The Label
"The label on our Aberlour bottling features the Mash Tun whisky bar in Aberlour - though who’s that nervous fellow peeking out of the window?"
Boutique-y Macduff 10 Year 50ml
$10.50
This mini / 50ml bottle of Macduff from That Boutique-y Whisky Company was featured on Day 23 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
Sadly, we have no larger-sized bottles of this decadent Macduff to sell. 50.2%
Label Notes from TBWC
"The Macduff distillery was founded in the 1960s and is kitted out with five stills, four of which have lyne arms that are rather oddly arranged, with one of the wash stills’ lyne arms being U-shaped too, just so they’ll all fit in the still room! They don’t release whisky themselves under their own name - they release it under the name The Deveron. This is why the name Macduff might be more familiar to you from Shakespeare’s play, ‘Macbeth’. We’ve even put one of the deleted scenes from the play on the label of our Macduff bottling. Press the stopper down to hear the director’s commentary from Shakespeare himself (probably a lie)."
Sierra Nevada BA Narwhal Tall Can
$8.19
From the Producer
We sent our original Narwhal Imperial Stout into bourbon-barrel hibernation. After nearly a year, Narwhal rises from the dark depths of our cellar, transformed with notes of oak, vanilla, and coconut layered onto the Stout's malt flavors of dark chocolate and espresso. It’s all in the barrel-aged beauty sleep.

Dubois Les Labourons Fleurie
$58.99
Anne-Sophie Dubois is part of a new generation of rising star vignerons in Beaujolais. Based in the heart of Fleurie, Anne-Sophies' wines epitomize delicacy and finesse, with a style and approach aligned with the Gamay grown in the area. Having learned winemaking in Volnay, she draws from her experience there to elegant wines; full of depth and aromatic complexity, and without the over-extraction of fruit.
In addition to a Beaujolais blanc, Anne-Sophie produces three additional cuvées, the most accessible wine being the Paso Doublé Gamay, which is labelled as Bourgogne Rouge and meant to be enjoyed upon release. Her other two wines, l’Alchemiste and Clepsydre, exhibit considerable aromatic complexity, depth, and nuance on the palate. She refrains from using new oak and prefers to utilize cement vats and larger neutral oak casks for fermentation and aging. The resulting wines are renditions of gamay abound with fruit, finesse and exquisite balance. She is also an artist and is responsible for the very cool labels on her bottles. The wines are made in a natural style but in the best sense of the term (in other words refermenting or microbiological issues).
Rum Nation Jamaica 5yr Oloroso Sherry
$84.99
From the producer:
This award-winning pot still rum from St. Catherine, Jamaica, was matured in the Caribbean and then refined for 15 to 18 months in second fill Oloroso barrels, plus a small percentage of Pedro Ximenez casks. The skillful blending of casks marries the brash vitality and intensely funky aromas of young Jamaican rum, with the winey, fruity and juicier complexity of sherry aging. A multifaceted and robust rum, full of power but also subtlety.

Cristom Vineyards was established in 1992 to craft single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from distinctive, individual sites across their 240-acre estate. Today, those five single vineyards named for members of the founding Gerrie family—Eileen, Jessie, Louise, Marjorie, and Paul Gerrie—have earned an international reputation for their individuality, authenticity, consistency, and excellence. The Eileen vineyard is situated at their highest elevation on the original property rising to over 735 feet with commanding views of the Cascade Range to the east and the Coastal Range to the west. From where it sits at the crest of the Eola Hills, Eileen Vineyard may be the site at Cristom more defined by the cold, Pacific Ocean winds than any other vineyard we farm. Eileen Vineyard is distinctive with some of the most dramatic range of soil depths on the Cristom estate, fierce winds, high elevation, multiple expositions and the most diverse collection of Pinot Noir clonal selections of any of our estate vineyards.
