Nikka Pure Malt Black
$74.99
This cute little bottle has a lot of substance to it, and a very fruity palate. Although called a blended (pure) malt, the whisky mostly contains whiskies from Nikka’s famous Yoichi distillery.
“Palate: creamy, peaty and spicy with old fashioned black licorice; wow the peat caught me off guard, its soft but firm, dark spices, more cream and burnt fruits; soft vanilla cream with orange peel and a zest of lemon and lime; Finish: the tropical fruits are back with more cream and clean fading smoke; Comments: this whisky is a chameleon, seemingly able to slip into any skin and shift its style; lots of layers for $60!”

From the Producer
John Walker & Sons Odyssey is a celebration of the epic journeys our whiskies undertook in the early years of the 20th Century, as they travelled over the oceans to every corner of the world.
This rare Triple Malt was created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge to evoke the aromas and sensations of this defining era.
He took as his inspiration the legendary Johnnie Walker ‘Swing’, created in 1932 by the founder’s grandson, Sir Alexander Walker. He was a blender of extraordinary skill who handed down his detailed notes for future generations.

This cute little Japanese whisky is a gem, and the most heavily peated whisky in the Nikka range. Several different batches have been reviewed in the Whisky Bible, all scoring between 90 and 93/100pts.
Distiller's Tasting Note:
"Intense smoke and peat aromas dominate the Nikka Pure Malt White's aromatic palette, complemented by slight salty and vegetal notes. A thrilling malt, which will satisfy the boldest whisky drinkers, the Pure Malt White is the most heavily peated whisky in the Nikka range. And yet, with its unctuous texture and precise frame, this pure malt never loses its characteristic Japanese touch."

Compass Box Spice Tree Extravaganza
$154.99
This limited edition Compass Box release is inspired by Compass Box Spice Tree, but kicked up to the next level. The whisky is older with a heavier first fill sherry influence than the first edition, but still relies on Compass Box's proprietary hybrid casks and is bottled at 46%. The youngest whisky in the blend is 11 years, with the majority of the malt 13 and 19-20 years of age.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Decadent and playful on the nose, you will find notes of sherry wine, dark berries and the fragrant sweetness of traditional sweet shops.
Palate: On the palate there is juicy red fruit, a dark brown sugar richness, the trademark Spice Tree ginger and clove spice character and an endlessly long, spicy, substantial finish.
From the Producer
‘Extravaganza’ - Noun. A literary or musical work marked by extreme freedom of style and structure.
As the name suggests, the liquid draws its inspiration from our Signature Range classic, The Spice Tree, but reinterprets it through the use of older components and a significant portion of sherry-cask aged malt whisky. The Spice Tree’s trademark spice character is retained but set within a richer, more elegant frame with a new depth of flavour and complexity.

Compass Box No Name
$139.99
What does John Glaser do when he puts his hands on a parcel of tasty 2003 Ardbeg casks? He asks himself what should I blend it with... Ultimately the peatiest ever release of Compass Box was produced from more than 70% Ardbeg with Caol Ila, Clynelish and a small parcel of French oak matured whiskies to round things out. Bottled at 48.9%.
Producer Description
"We came across a parcel of American oak barrels filled with mature, massively peaty single malt whisky - tarry and full of bonfire-like smokiness. To us, this was a whisky crying out to be tamed and shaped into a very special Compass Box limited edition.
"Even peatier than our whisky called ‘The Peat Monster’ - the staple peated Blended Malt Scotch Whisky in the Compass Box range - the resulting blend is massive in terms of the intensity and complexity of flavour; a whisky brimming with complex peatiness, but tempered with hints of fruit character and an underlying sweetness.
"A bonfire-like smokiness on the nose with a peatiness that is by turns tarry and medicinal with hints of autumn leaves. A powerful smokiness and peatiness follow, accented by hints of ripe cherries, plums and spice."
