Glenmorangie Lasanta
$63.44
The Ofificial Product Description from Glenmorangie The sun scorched plains of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalucia, southern Spain, produce the sensually smooth, creamy sherry for which the area is famous. Sherry casks that retain the warmth and nutty flavours of this fortified wine are imported to the Scottish Highlands by Glenmorangie where they are filled with Original single malt whisky until it takes on the delicate nuances of taste and a rich golden russet clarity.
Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or
$70.64
The Ofificial Product Description from Glenmorangie: The Bordeaux vineyards of south western France lend their grand heritage to Nectar D'or through Glenmorangie's use of Sauternes wine barriques to 'finish' The Original single malt whisky. Infused with the signature honey, citrus and spice aroma of the Sauternes dessert wine that lingers in the wooden casks, the result is a whisky of exquisite sophistication and complexity. The resultant elixir takes on the pale, lemony, gold transparency and honeyed taste that inspired it's name.
Balvenie Single Barrel
$117.44
Next door to Glenfiddich, the same company founded both distilleries, in 1886 and 1892 respectively. The Balvenie whiskies are sweeter and richer: classic examples of the Speyside heather-honey style. Matured solely in 15 yr or older bourbon casks, this treasure exhibits the elegance and complexity of an aged whisky with even more richness than other Balvenies. Long finish with vanilla notes.
Adelphi Knockdhu 20 Year
$151.19
Founded in 1826 and closed in 1960, the Adelphi Distillery Company has been revived to select and offer a range of unusual single cask malt whiskies. The cask strength whiskies are non-chill filtered with no color added. And as single cask bottlings are very rare, ranging from 200-600 bottles from each cask, the taste cannot be repeated once a cask is finished.
Ardbeg Lord of the Isles 25 Year
$455.39
The late Michael Jackson gave it a 9/10 in Whisky Magazine. The following is his tasting note: Nose: Sea air and smokiness an evocative sootiness. Palate: Silky. The touch of fruitiness, usually reminiscent of lemons, is sweeter, with a momentary suggestion of cherries. The flavours become almondy and walnut-like, then rooty and peppery. Finish: Long, haughty. Comment: Lots of flavour development, complexity and refinement. Very elegant, but where is the clamour of battle?
OMC Glenrothes Rum 16 Year
$107.99
Tullibardine Moscatel Finish
$69.29
The Moscatel has been described as a very exciting and unusual bottling of fabulous colour and easy, soft flavours. Medium bodied, sweet and winey nose. Soft, fruity and chewy taste with a long, floral and raisiny with a tang of lemons finish. Moscatel comes from the Muscat grape – a small type of grape that can be very sweet and aromatic. It is also a common name for several varieties of rich sweet wine.
Brora Old & Rare 30 Year
$741.14
Bottled by Douglas Laing, one of the better independent bottlers in Scotland. The family run business has been in business nearly 60 years and has earned a well deserved reputation for quality! "Nose: "strumming smoke in perfect tune; Taste: enormous delivery with the silkiest peat imaginable, oaky dry at first then sweetening out as a beyond the garve gristiness kicks in; Finish:the usual molassed finale, except it's not quite that simple with the layering of oscillating between spice and honey, oak and smoke; Balance: once more a dram from a distillery that leaves you spellbound." - 95pts Jim Murray
Glenfiddich 50 Year 50ml
$1,251.89
The Glenfiddich 50 year old is truly a remarkable whisky. I had an opportunity to taste it several months back and was blown away by its complexity. Even more remarkable was the subtlety it projected; most whiskies of this age are well on their way to being over the hill, but not this one! Bottled in 1991 in a limited edition of just 500 bottles, this whisky came from a batch of nine casks laid down in the 1930s (one cask was laid down for each of William Grant's nine children, who had helped to build Glenfiddich distillery in the 1880s). The whisky itself is, perhaps unsurprisingly, quite oaky (without being overpoweringly so), and has an elegant, complex palate of subtle dried fruit flavours.
