Boutique-y English Whisky Batch 3 12 YO

This unpeated yet feisty 63.4% ABV bottle from that Boutique-y Whisky Company features 12 year old Single Malt from the English Whisky Company. Filled from one ex-Bourbon Barrel, it is one of 272 bottles that have made its way out into the world, with only a handful coming to Canada.
Notes From The Folks at Boutique-Y
"This is our 3rd batch, and the first commercially available 12 Year Old bottled from this distillery (there was a recent bespoke club bottling of 12 year old whiskies) Their 11 Year Old distillery release has recently been awarded English Whisky of the Year at The Wizards of Whisky Awards
The distillery was the first to produce whisky in England for over 100 years! The English Whisky Company led the new wave of English whisky makers when they released the first English single malt for more than a hundred years in 2009. Some of the best barley is grown in Norfolk, and the Breckland water is superb.
Their distillery is named ‘St. George’s’, but thea are known as The English Whisky Company - there was only one when they opened in 2006, and remained the only whisky distillery in England for some time. St George’s also the first whisky distillery Boutiquey-Dave ever visited, so he have a huge soft spot for this distillery"

Claxton`s Glenrothes 1988

Claxton's Mannochmore 2008
$119.99
Absolutely shamefully overlooked distillery. Who knows? A couple decades on, they may still be doing damage control for the whole Loch Dhu debacle (kidding, of course). Truly, though, Mannachmore can be great. This sherried outing is one of the most exciting in the recent landing of Claxton's expressions we received. RRefill Hogshead No: C21024 held just 180 bottles. 86pts on Whiskybase!
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.9% abv.
