Bladnoch Alinta
$131.99
The first peated single malt released by Bladnoch, matured in ex-Bourbon and PX Sherry casks. 47%.
Producer Description
"‘Alinta’, an indigenous Australian word from several Southeast Australian language groups means ‘fire’ and ‘flames’, and evokes the notes of Campfire Embers found in each sip. This expression utilises PX Sherry and ex-bourbon casks combined together with a sweet smoky peated spirit, sets Alinta apart from anything previously released by Bladnoch."
Boutique-y Eddu Bt. 1 14 Year
$201.99
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."
Boutique-y Fary Lochan Bt. 1 6 Year
$167.99
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."
Boutique-y Highglen Bt. 1 3 Year
$113.99
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."
Boutique-y Slyrs Bt. 3 3 Year
$122.99
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."
Boutique-y Teerenpeli Batch 2 3 Year
$95.99
This lightly peated 3 year old Finnish single malt is the 2nd release of Teerenpeli from That Boutique-y Whisky Company. Matured in re-coopered American oak before bottling at 55.5%.
Producer Description
"You wait years for the first batch from Finland’s Teerenpeli distillery, and then two turn up in in the last two outturns! Our second batch is a 3 Year Old malt has had its full maturation in recoopered American oak ex-Bourbon hogshead, and comes across as lightly peated. Malted barley is sourced from local company Viking Malt (Lathi), grown no more than 150km from the site. Casks are matured in 40 foot ex-reefer sea containers, which sit outside the distillery, with no heating or cooling. Outside temperatures vary wildly throughout the year, from -35C to +30C."
About the Label
"Teerenpeli translates to ‘flirtation’ and also means ‘black grouse’. So we've made sure there’s a reference to both on the label. That’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Jari Mämmi, driving the Zamboni along the rows of shipping container businesses."
Peregrins Chablis 1er Cru 2022
$86.99
Eléonore Moreau is not only the only female winemaker in the tiny village of Poilly sur Serein, but the only winemaker period - all other producers instead sell their fruit to the Chablisienne. Low yields in 2019 threatened Moreau's production, but they did not prevent her from releasing this truly transcendent vintage of her flagship Petit Chablis. With the ultimate goal of avoiding intervention in order to allow the Petit Chablis to speak for itself, Her premier cru Cote de Jouan is a stunning Chablis with great aging potential, up to 15 years or more in ideal cellar conditions.
