Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: candied nuts, Demerara and brown sugars, black
Palate: big, rich coating and very fruity; loads of spices, sugars (more Demerara and Brown), plus big thick syrupy notes; a touch of burnt bacon, wrapped around dates filled with blue cheese; firm new leather with more damp tobacco (cigar); the dark bakers chocolate is
Finish: doesn't disappoint, but it is rich, long and smooth, with the leather, dark fruits and spices lasting longest.
Comment: this is a big sherry bomb, not over the top, but a monster; Kavalan's light tropical tones are hiding beneath a firm sherry influence; lovers of the Solist Sherry will not be disappointed by this Canadian cask!

Bruichladdich Legacy

Scotland's most westerly distillery was originally founded in 1881, and recently re-opened its doors much to the delight of Islay whisky aficionados. This treasure is from a series of selected vintages and finished in bourbon casks. Once open,a beautiful, perfumed bomb of citrus, floral honey and baked fruit jumps out. The palate exhibits strong notes of oak but retains that 'laddie' freshness
Auchentoshan 40 Year 1965
$1,070.99
This is a great addition to anyone's collection, and not so expensive that you wouldn't consider drinking it! Distillery tasting note: Rich, old gold in colour, the nose is a delicious combination of sweet vanilla, delicate lemon and orange citrus notes, a touch of almonds and a light, leafy freshness. The palate is clean and zesty but is beautifully complemented by hints of vanilla and a touch of raisins. The finish is soft and mild.
Black Bowmore 1964
$3,689.99
When Stanley Morrison purchased Bowmore distillery in 1964, the distillery underwent a major upgrade. The first whisky distilled after these renovations was filled into Oloroso sherry butts and laid down to mature. The 1st and 2nd bottlings of Black Bowmore were of 2000 bottles and the third 1800. The final bottling is of only 827 bottles yielded from the last five of the original Oloroso Sherry Butts. The angels have been greedy, and the whisky has dropped to a cask strength of just 40.5%. Creamy, w/ mango, toffee, dark chocolate & a hint of smoke on the palate. This bottle will increase in value with time; it is being sold for $6,000.00 USD in the US.
