Original Tasting Description
"To celebrate the launch of our 5th KWM exclusive cask of Benromach, we are putting on a vertical tasting of 8 Benromach whiskies, half of which are single casks. The lineup includes the Benromach Core Range bottlings of 10, 15, and 21-year-olds, as well as the Benromach Contrasts Triple Distilled. For the single casks, we have the new Benromach Polish Oak, a 2007 cask bottled for Calgary's SinDicate whisky club, and two different KWM casks: our sold-out 2003, and the new 2002. Best of all, and this is late breaking news... Richard Urquhart will be joining us for the tasting!"

Original Tasting Description
"You had us at 31-year-old GlenDronach... We recently received some cool new releases from Iain Croucher at North Star Spirits, and we can't resist the temptation to try them. On the young side of things, there is the new Tarot Blend, a Campbeltown Blended Malt, and only the second-ever bottling from Dalmunach. We love a good Blair Athol, and how often do you see an indie bottle of Dalwhinnie? But the icing on the cake of this tasting will be the GlenDronach 31 Year. You almost never see indie GlenDronach, and this one has some great reviews!"

Original Tasting Description
"We have a crazy lineup of 8 whiskies planned for this tasting, including whiskies from Glen Scotia, Glengyle (Kilkerran) and Springbank... we are trying to cover all of our Campbeltown bases... but that's not as easy as it used to be. The tasting just happens to coincide with the arrival of the Springbank PX in Alberta, which is a really hot potato. Full disclosure, we are only getting 6 bottles, and the only way you'll be able to enter a ballot to purchase a bottle from KWM, is if you take part in this tasting, and space is limited... But this won't be the only whisky we'll be offering for sale by ballot to participants in this tasting, there will be at least 3 others!"
SMOS Marriage Ardmore 25 Year
$305.99
If only there was an official Ardmore 25 year old. In the meantime, as we say, we're grateful for the indie bottlers, who offer a peek behind the curtain every now and then. SMOS has become one of our most trusted bottlers, so we're pretty excited to see this one land. Producer Note: "This is a marriage of whiskies from 1997, matured in just three hogsheads which yielded a total of 772 bottles." 89.55pts Whiskybase
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 48.6% abv.
SMOS Marriage Speyside 31 Year
$467.99
An undisclosed lil gem from our friends at Elixir Distillers.
Producer note: "This is a marriage of whiskies from 1992, matured in just three barrels which yielded a total of 806 bottles.The taste is reminiscent of a basket of rich, sweet freshly made pastries with apples and pears. The unknown origins of this delicious, complex 31-year-old Speyside single malt allows you enjoy it without any preconceptions as your imagination wonders which distillery it hails from."
Distilled in 1992. Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 48.3% abv.
Macbeth Collection Cambus 31 Year
$469.99
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth. Neat. Unquestionably a difficult set to build (ahem... sell your house to pay for it all?), but we'll be bringing in some of the cooler releases from the run. This is a Cambus matured in refill hogsheads. Only 650 bottles of this one.
Producer Note: "The First Ghost is one of six ghost distillery whiskies in The Ghosts series. “For The Ghosts, the link to silent, ghost distilleries was obvious and the selection of grain whisky offers a delicacy that reinforces the ethereal qualities of these apparitions. This is shown in the First Ghost to be revealed, a Single Grain Scotch Whisky aged 31 years, distilled at Cambus Distillery.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46.2% abv.
Macbeth Collection BenRiach 31 Year
$766.99
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
31-year-old BenRiach matured in American Oak Refill Hogsheads. You've probably heard us wax poetic about how much we love these types of casks. This BenRiach should be a cracker! 88.7pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “For Menteith, a nobleman who marched to oppose Macbeth, we have selected a malt from the ruggedly beautiful Benriach Distillery, which shines bright in various woods. It is a treat to find it so perfectly expressed, aged 31 years, in these high-quality Bourbon barrels: all the hallmarks of a classic fruit-driven, floral Benriach, with rich caramel and cinder (a nod to the dark) delivered by the casks.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.1% abv.
Macbeth Collection Glen Garioch 31 Year
$825.99
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
This 31-year-old Glen Garioch was matured in American Oak First Fill Bourbon Barrels. One of the most interesting releases in the range. 89.67pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “There is complexity in Angus, who is among the thanes who switch allegiance from Macbeth to Malcolm over the course of the play. Our choice of distillery here, Glen Garioch has a fascinating tale of its own - the early 1990s saw a return to slower production that you can taste in the weight of the spirit. Florals and spices are balanced and tempered by the unctuous mouthfeel.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 54.6% abv.
