Connoisseurs Choice Port Ellen 1982
$190.79
SOLD OUT!
This rare 21 Yr Old originates from the now closed distillery Port Ellen, whos namesake village hosts one of the two ferry terminals on the island of Islay. It's whitewashed buildings still stand at portside. Only local peat was used (some say 'the' most concentrated peat in Scotland) to produce these distillery's bottlings. Consequently, the flavor is complex and peaty with medicinal notes. Wow!

Smoky and sweet, complex and rich, finished in refill bourbon casks and bottled at 43% abv, a must have for any Islay fan

Murray McDavid Tobermory 9 Year

This 9 Yr Old version is only lightly peated, predominately from the water source, and is aged in fresh sherry casks. Typically coastal in style, it has a definite bite and crispness to it, a real treasure.
Balvenie Portwood 1993
$67.04
Neighbor and long-time associate of Glenfiddich (also owned by the Grant family), Balvenie is characteristically Speyside (heather-honey, voluptuously charming, easy to please and wins friends easily). This version represents all of the above, along with a richness only found in port pipe finishing. Specifically, one year in second-fill port pipes in this instance. The result is amazing!
Balvenie New Oak 17 Year
$120.59
Balvenie distillery is Glenfiddich's younger sister; both distilleries are family owned. Even though Balvenie is one of Scotland's 10 largest distilleries, it still floor malts some of its own barley. Nose: classic Balvenie honey & malt, raisins, brown sugar & crisp oak. Palate: the balance catches your attention right away, malt, brown sugar and oak evenly distributed; buttery vanilla notes slowly emerge w/ a faint hint of caramelized fruit. Finish: long, soft, sweet and honeyed. A very delightful dram!
Balvenie Portwood 21 Year
$349.99
To create The Balvenie PortWood Aged 21 Years, a marriage of aged Balvenie is transferred to port casks, or pipes, which have previously held fine port wine. Here it is sampled regularly by The Balvenie Malt Master to ensure that just the right amount of character is imparted by the port casks, enhancing and developing the single malt whilst preserving its original characteristics. The Balvenie PortWood Aged 21 Years is bottled at 40% ABV.
Balvenie is the sister distillery to Glenfiddich. Together they represent 2 of but a handful of family owned distilleries. Balvenie is also one of about 7 distilleries in Scotland to malt some of their own barley; though it is just a tiny fraction of their production.
