Millstone 22 Year Oloroso Sherry Sp. #24
$414.99
These well-aged Millstone sherry bombs really are something special. In terms of profile, they sit somewhere between the old school jammy sherried Speysiders and the new school 'world' whiskes (we hate that term). But make no mistake, this is not one of the contemporary sherry-seasoned spice bombs.
"Special #24", as this is named, is a 22 year old Dutch single malt distilled on February 26, 1999, and filled into Oloroso Sherry before bottling on October 26, 2021, at 46%.

Glenfarclas Family Cask that is long gone.
Cadenhead Original Inchgower 12 Year
$126.99
Diageo is famous for being the biggest drinks company in the world. They're also infamous for having a portfolio busting at the seams with distilleries that almost never see the light of day as proper distillery bottlings. Inchgower is one of those distilleries. Most of its production typically ends up being blended away in Bell's Blended Scotch. It's only through indie bottlers like Cadenhead that we get an opportunity to see what the distillery is capable of as a single malt in its own right. This deep and dark beauty was matured in Bourbon, Sherry & Madeira Wood.
Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 46%.

Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Release 34
$104.99
Bottled under their "Innovative" range, Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Release 34 has been bottled at 40%. It is a combination of 6-10+ year old whiskies with a complex mashbill. I'll let two brewers explain it below, but suffice to say some of the whisky was finished 27 months in refill ex-maple whisky casks.
Blending Notes
"Two barrels had contained maple syrup previously, the whisky from those barrels included a sour mash to provide depth to the maple-centric taste. Blended with those two barrels are two young but well-developed standard mashes, providing a mild canvas for the maple flavours to shine through. The young whiskies are quite lively, which would be a defect in one of our normal releases but the maple syrup tempers those flavours and they end up lending a lot of complexity and depth that can still be tasted beyond the prominent maple.
Barreling Info
"Standard combination of ex-Bourbon and Virgin Oak barrels for all of the whiskies, the star is obviously the two barrels that had contained maple syrup. Filled with maple syrup and then rinsed with whisky several times during their lives, the two barrels ended up sitting undisturbed for the last 27 months, allowing the whisky that went into Release 34 to soak every last bit out of the wood and giving ample time for the sugars and alcohol to interact."
Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Release 35
$105.99
Bottled at 46% as a part of their "Classic" range.
Blending Notes
"This release is a blend of blends, taking several barrels that already contained a combination of different mashes and combining them again in pursuit of balance and complexity. We blended 3 parts of a “Full Classic” blend, similar to a past release like Release 30, to 1 part of a “Bold Classic” blend that incorporates some older whisky for a more impactful flavour profile. Neither blend was quite right by itself but combining the two in that ratio resulted in a Classic release that is malt-forward yet still displays a vein of oakiness developed over many years spent resting in barrels.
