Lagg Batch 01 Ex-Bourbon Cask
$119.99
Distilled in 2019, this is the first of a trio of Inagural Release bottlings from the Lagg Distillery. Opened by the folks who brought you the Isle of Arran Distillery, now called Lochranza, Lagg started production in 2019. This release is made from double distilled heavily peated Concerto malt matured entirely in ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 50%.
Producer Description
"For this series of inaugural bottlings, we used Concerto malted barley and water from our own borehole. The malt is peated to 50ppm in the kiln. We receive it, crush it and agitate it in our mash tun to create a cloudy wort which delivers a more oily, robust flavour. Our chosen yeast and fermentation time allows us to create the full-bodied flavour we're looking for in our distillation. We then distill twice, at nearly twice the speed of Lochranza, in our handmade copper pot stills. The spirit for this release was matured in first fill, ex-bourbon casks for just over three years prior to release. It was bottled unchill-filtered, without the addition of any colourings and at the higher strength of 50% ABV. A very characterful dram, with notes of citrus, heather and bonfire smoke."

Rest & Be Thankful Bruichladdich 2002
$215.00
Under the watchful eye of the previous owners, Bruichladdich put a lot of spirit into very interesting (and ridiculously high end) wine casks. It only makes sense that we're starting to see a we smattering of these 'way out there' single casks hitting the market. But where once the shelves sagged under the weight of Bruichladdich one-and-dones, now we have to wait patiently for bottlers like R&BT to give us a peek at unique single cask Laddies. Great age and great drinking strength on this ex-wine cask matured Islay malt.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.2% abv. 87.25pts Whiskybase
Single Cask Nation Ardmore 23 Year
