SUNSHINE, MOTHERHOOD AND APPLE PIE
This Speysider is 13 years old and comes in at 57.2% after maturing in a 1st fill barrel.
Flavour profile: Sweet, fruity & mellow
Outturn: 235 bottles
Panel's tasting note: "The nose held very pleasant fruity sweetness (sherbet lemons, red lips, Turkish Delight, Edinburgh Rock), while pears, apples, straw and wood, somehow suggested autumn orchards. The palate was immediately warmly attractive – all summer sunshine, motherhood and apple pie – like relaxing in a farmhouse kitchen with Victoria sponge cake and caramel apple granny cake. The reduced nose took us to gardens (wooden trellis, bougainvillea, wisteria, grass, vines) where we were supping cloudy lemonade and cider. The palate was now easy and indulgent – the apple dessert wonderfully balancing sweet and tart flavours; the wood was now as tasty as an ice-lolly stick."
Drinking tip: "One to enjoy in the garden, while the apple pie is cooling on a windowsill"

BITTER-SWEET AS LOST LOVE
At 14 years old, this 60.3% Speysider came from a 1st fill barrel.
Flavour profile: Sweet, fruity & mellow
Outturn: 199 bottles
Panel's tasting note: "The nose had unstinted salivating sweetness (toffee, marshmallows, nougat, maple syrup on ice-cream, Crunchie bars, sugary espresso dregs) plus a mesmerizing melange of exotic fruits, some pine and old-fashioned perfumes. The palate was really juicy and lively – slightly bitter but attractive fruits dancing jigs on our willing tongues (kumquat, preserved lemon, Caribbean punch, sherbet lemons) – we also got balsamic glaze, cinnamon stick, vanilla and juicy oak. The reduced nose seemed fruitier, fresher and mouth-watering, with pineapple, apricot, melon, tutti-frutti and lemon tart. The reduced palate was as bitter-sweet as Tennyson’s lost love – lemon drizzle cake, bitter lemon and pickled ginger."
Drinking tip: "It's quite lively - something to put you in the mood for dancing, fun fairs or sky-diving"

$131.39
Bottled at 46% after maturing in American Oak casks and finishing in Madeira casks.

Only 4001 bottles released world-wide with just 120 coming to Alberta!
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: Torrents of campfire peat smoke infuse heather honey and ripe pear. Hints of cantaloupe and candied citrus add to a luscious, crisp balance.
Taste: A mouth-watering sweet peat character floods through delicious ripe fruit syrup. Dried apricots combine with warm oak spices and gentle citrus zest, giving a contrasting depth to the long finish.
Glenmorangie Companta
$103.49
JUST BACK and for a limited time the 2014 Companta. Exclusively from KWM!
The 2014 Private Edition release from Glenmorangie is the Companta. The whisky started its life in American oak casks before finishing in Burgundy casks from Clos de Tart (60%) and Rasteau casks from the Rhone Valley (40%). Companta is Scot's Gaelic for Friendship.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: On the nose, Companta exudes rich, 'autumnal' scents of red berries and damp forest floors, with a hint of fragrant woodsmoke complementing notes of aromatic, nutty oak.
Palate: Upon tasting, a spicy palate redolent of cherries and stewed fruits is slowly revealed, as notes of sugared plums, blood orange and rose-hip syrup emerge alongside milk chocolate and brown sugar.
Finish: Companta lingers on with a rich, mouth-coating finish."
