Boutique-y Adnams Batch 2 8 Year
$40.00
This 8 year old English single malt was finished in an ex-Islay Cask after initially maturing in a second fill french oak cask. I was bottled at 50.5% as a part of Boutique-y's World of Smoke range.
Producer Description
"Local grains, and a self-cultivated brewers yeast that's over 80 years old is used for their fermentations. This particular liquid has been matured in Second Fill French Oak cask and finished in an Ex-Islay cask."
About the Label
"The Copper House Distillery sits within the Adnams brewery, located in Southwold. Their records of brewing date back as far as 1345, and they were the first brewery to be legally distilling spirits in the UK. The label artwork plays on the many ghost stories surrounding the brewery, with a modern twist. Have you ever been ghosted before? *Weep.*"
Boutique-y Highland #2 Batch 2 19 Year
$131.99
This undeclared Clynelish single cask, Highland #2 in That Boutique-y Whisky Company's classification, is sister cask to our own exclusive bottling of Boutique-y Clynelish 20 Year KWM Cask. This bottling, batch 2, is a year younger, bottled from a single Hogshead cask at 48.1%.
Producer Description
"This is a 19 Year Old single malt from a Highland distillery that we are unable to name. It’s our second release, the first was a custom bottling for a big supporter of Boutique-y Whisky in Canada; Kensington Wine Market in Calgary. What can I tell you? It’s from a single hogshead, probably the most
common cask in Scotland by a country mile, that was laid down in August 2000."
About the Label
"While we are not able to name the distillery on our label, being That Boutique-y Whisky Company with clearly recognisable labels gives us an opportunity to have some clues as to where this could have originated… Our label is a riff on ‘The Highlander’ movie poster that we liked. It had to be, didn’t it? For our characters we chose our highland cats from another of our labels. Our murderously brutal barbarian being The First Duke of Sutherland, controversial for his role in the Highland Clearances, and our immortal Scottish swordsman being our candle bearing cat. The ‘Can Has Only One’ is a reference to our cat meme source…Corny, shockingly bad punnage, and hilarious again!"
Boutique-y Speyside #4 Batch 13 25 Year
$125.00
This is a sister cask to our own exclusive Boutique-y Speyside #4 24 Year KWM Cask, but a year older and $75 more expensive... Batch 13 was bottled from an ex-Bourbon barrel at 51.6%.
Producer Description
"Another batch from this secret Speyside distillery that allegedly started it all! This is a 25 Year Old from an ex-Bourbon barrel that was laid down in October 1997 There are established 46 Speyside distilleries so are you feeling lucky? Punk? Oops wrong movie reference"
About the Label
"Seriously though, we really can’t tell you where this comes from, or indeed give you too many clues… But don’t let that stop you from discovering this spectacular Speysider - we bet you’ll glen-love-it! Our label is a riff on ‘2001 A Space Oddity’ where a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins - a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer H.A.L. 9000. Our spacecraft is this very modern (with the joint largest capacity) secret Speyside distillery, that can be run by just two men, and a computer. Our HAL 9000 is a still sightglass and the ‘I’m sorry Dave’ reference fits perfectly too, as our original label Speyside #4 label has me on it, being handed the Banjolnir from the whisky gods."
Boutique-y English Whisky Co. B5 10 Year
$57.00
This tripled distilled peated single malt from the English Whisky Co. has been bottled after 10 years in a first fill ex-Jim Beam Barrel at 50.1%.
Boutique-y Ardmore Batch 9 19 Year
$150.00
This 2003 vintage 19 year old Ardmore was initial matured in a refill Hogshead cask before being finished in a fresh PX Sherry Hogshead. It is the 9th Ardmore bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Co. 50.2%
Producer Description
"Our 19 Year Old is from September 2003, and after spending time in the good ol’ refill hoggie, it was re-racked into a first-fill PX sherry cask."
About the Label
"Few distilleries have had such a long and solid relationship with the same blend that Ardmore has with Teachers. The distillery was founded by the Teachers family. Our label teaches (teachers, get it?) you about the parts of a cask. It’s a shockingly ban pun..."
Boutique-y Islay #3 Batch 6 29 Year
$499.99
This 29 year old mystery Islay single malt, believed to be from Laphroaig, was finished in Oloroso Sherry Octaves before bottling at a natural cask strength of 52.1%.
PRoducer Description
"A glorious 29 Year Old unnamed Islay malt that was distilled in 1993 and and some of it has been finished in Oloroso Octaves by ourselves. There’s a long held belief that when an Islay single malt is unnamed, it’s always Caol Ila! This is simply because Caol Ila is the largest distillery on the island…"
About The Label
"Sometimes we are allowed to say what distillery our whiskies come from, often happens when we’ve bought casks directly from the distillery. Sometimes we don’t even know! This occasionally happens when we’ve bought casks through a broker. To be honest, it’s not important to us… Another single malt from an unidentified Islay distillery, but wait a minute… Haven't we seen this label before? It’s the Living Room Whisky chaps on it doing a pose from a movie, and remarkably like our Laphroaig label - a clue perhaps? That’s the Boutique-y of of our labels - we can give the game away without naming the distillery as per the seller's request!"
Boutique-y Ledaig ncs Batch 21 21 Year
$146.99
This 1997 vintage Ledaig (peated Tobermory) has been bottled after 21 years at natural cask strength of 58.2%.
Producer Description
"This 21 Year Old Ledaig from the Isle of Mull’s Tobermory distillery is our twenty-first batch (I love it when this happens), a release of just 450 bottles at Natural Cask Strength 58.2% abv. Distilled in September 1997, and matured in a single Sherry butt until it was bottled."
About the Label
"The spirit of Ledaig has become a sentient planet smasher and is off to eviscerate his rather more well-known peaty competition! He's off to show that the peatiness of Ledaig whisky can put up a fight against the Islay giants. We're expecting a Dragonball Z style battle between Captain Hammer here and Islay's noble protector (Big Peat, perhaps?), with the fate of the island on the line."
