Roseisle 12 Year Special Release 2024
$191.99
The inaugural Roseisle 12-year-old was a highlight of last year's Diageo Special Releases. In terms of flavour profile, it sits comfortably in the 'safe zone,' but in terms of execution, it offers a fair bit more than a typical Speysider in this age bracket. We've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of additional expressions from this distillery ever since. And while it would be nice to have something a little more exotic than a second version of essentially the same whisky (same age and cask makeup), it's also a great opportunity to see how consistent we can expect Roseisle to be.
Producer Description
"From the cutting-edge Roseisle Distillery, this is our second ever expression. Our Malt Master evokes a sublime Single Malt Scotch Whisky that soars with profound flavour, building on the folds of a previous flight, born of seemingly simple elements. Matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks, rich flavours blossom with smooth creamy texture. Notes of ripe fruit and white chocolate lie beneath the sweet vanilla aroma. Nuanced spice balances warm complexity, ending with a long, rich finish. Experience pure harmony from technical artistry. Precise refinement to achieve exquisite balance."

Lagavulin 12 Year Special Release 2024
$254.99
The 2024 Diageo Special Releases bottling of Lagavulin is a 12 year, matured in First-Fill ex-Bourbon and Refill Casks before bottling at 57.4%. Much better. Last year's Tequila-finished release was... let's just say we prefer this cask makeup.
Producer Description
"This is Lagavulin character made sweet under the command of active oak. Bold smoke quietened to a hush, matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks for a lush and glazed aroma. Experience a 12-year-old expression with thick toffee, vanilla, and coconut notes, unfurling with aromatic spice.
A testament to oak’s dynamic influence on bold character: powerful peat tempers into inviting sweetness. Made for the curious at heart."

Lindores Abbey Red Wine Cask II
$99.99
KWM Exclusive!
STR casks (shaved, toasted, recharred) have been a godsend for the whisky world. The concept has helped restore faith in the institution of wine cask maturation. Those of us with a bit of reticence when it comes to malts matured in casks that once held that grapey goodness have found STRing to be the panacea to all of those sour, funky, fermenty whiskies of the past.
This is the second edition of this core Lindores Abbey expression that was matured in former red wine barriques. Rather dessertish. One dram isn't quite enough. Nor is two.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 49.4% abv.

Durigutti Compuertas Victoria
$89.99
It all began in 2007 with the first five hectares of an old Malbec vineyard that the brothers acquired a few steps from the winery, on Callejón de la Reta. Since then, a path of recovery and revaluation of the history and traditions of an emblematic wine region of Lujan de Cuyo begins: Las Compuertas. Over the years, more hectares were added to the project, today 31, and they baptized this place with the name of their mother, as Finca Victoria. This work seeks to accompany the development of producers in the area who maintain their vineyards with pride in the face of the unstoppable advance of urbanization.
