Bottled at 40% the Balvenie Double Wood is matured in ex-Bourbon casks before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks for 9 months. The whisky is then married in tuns for 3-4 months before bottling.

Producer Description

"DoubleWood 12 was launched in 1993, using a process designed by our Malt Master David Stewart in 1982, now commonly known as 'wood finishing'. To make The Balvenie DoubleWood, David Stewart MBE takes whisky that has spent at least 12 years in traditional whisky casks, American Oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads, and moves it to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks for an additional nine months. The whisky is then transferred to large oak vessels called “tuns” for 3-4 months to allow the whiskies from individual casks to “marry”.'

Ardbeg Ardcore Committee

$148.49

50.1%. A 2022 Ardbeg Committee Release. Has difficulty clearing the security check at airports because it is so metal.

Producer Description

"From a Distillery with more ups and downs that a pogoing punk comes Ardcore.

Created with roasted black malt, roasted to the extreme, this spirit is all about what happens up front & centre stage. The malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described as tasting like ‘biting on a spiky ball’, Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve… its black heart!

Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke make for an in-your-face nose, while potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate stamp this bottle out as one fit only for the most Ardcore of fans."
