Daftmill 2011 KWM Single Cask #101
$269.99
Our second ever, KWM exclusive Daftmill Cask is a 13 year old, matured in a First Fill Oloroso Butt (filled in 2011), before bottling at 58.9%. Daftmill is one of Scotland's smallest distilleries, it is literally a one-man show, and it only fills about 100 casks a year. Of the 100, the vast majority are ex-Bourbon Barrels, just a handful of sherry butts are filled each year, so it is a real honour to have been given the opportunity to bottle one. This is the first sherry matured Daftmill to come to Canada!

$121.50
Well, look who's back? This little gem is starting to become a perennial favourite, and for good reason: it's absolutely killer whisky at an inexplicably low price point! According to the folks at Dewar's, this has "been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks."
There is no overstating how cool it is that they have given us a blend with a high age statement and a robust bottling strength. Way to step into the spotlight, Dewar's. Well done.

"Rye is the quintessential Canadian Whisky grain. This flavour forward grain is often hidden and underrepresented in the big brand rye whiskies on the market. Wild Life Rye Whisky on the other hand, does not shy away from flavour. This spirit shows wonderful notes of nutmeg, fig, green grass and spice notes. This is Alberta Craft Whisky at its finest, and we are pleased to share it with you!"
