Authors Series Blair Athol 1989
$809.99
From Edition Spirits (Hunter Laing) comes this 31-year-old Blair Athol as part of their illustrious Authors' Series. It's not often we see high age statement Blair Athol, as there is no official range being released by the disillery's owners, so instead we look for cool indie bottlings like this one.
Replete with an image of Austrian author and dramatist Arthur Schnitzler (yeah, we didn't know either; thank goodness for Google), this is unquestionably one of the best Blair Athol we've had in the shop. Almost gone!
The outturn from Sherry Hogshead #18442 was 236 bottles. Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 45.6%.
Amrut Neidhal Chapter 1 `Coastal Plains`
$78.39
Amrut has begun independently bottling whisky, under the Single Malts of India range. The first bottling is of a peated coastal single malt, and it is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Ancient Tamil texts, dating back to the Sangam period (300 BC – 300 AD), classify mother earth into five regions called Tinais, each being associated with its own distinct literary style, grammar, mood, subtle as well as overt form of romance, culture and even cuisine. “Neidhal”, according to this classification comprises all Oceans and neighboring regions or in short Coastal Plains and the way of living one associates with them.
"This is a special peated single malt whiskey. The whiskey base is procured from another distillery, matured in charred American oak casks and polished at Amrut. Neidhal “is our first independent bottling,” and the first Chapter of our journey with this series of unchartered waters."
Paul John Christmas Edition 2021

"With tawny tints and aromas of malt-tinged caramel, a rare dash of coconut, and sweet berries balanced against dry raisins, Paul John Christmas Edition 2021 is crafted from malts finished in Ex-Bourbon and a melange of Port and Madeira casks. Entice the palate with creamy flavours of delicate spice and butterscotch riding on a light smoked-laced barley that lead to a long finish of alluring spices, light peat and a flavourful cocoa.
