Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: Mom's mincemeat pie, treacle sauce and sticky toffee pudding; the spices slowly emerge with loads of dark fruits: raisins, dates, figs and cooked orange peels.
Palate: big rich and spicy, more dark fruits (raisins dates and figs) and spices (cinnamon to clove); unsweetened bakers chocolate and a leather tobacco pouch; underneath it all some honey and malt.
Finish: long, fruity and coating with soft leather, tobacco and spices.
Comment: the price has been creeping up on this over the last few years, but the quality and value is still here!
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: Incredible concentration of aromas. Treacle toffee and chocolate orange.
Palate: A very dynamic and full bodied dram for its age. Chewy with coffee chocolate and treacle scones.
Conclusions: A veritable feast to enliven the senses.
Ardbeg Lord of the Isles
$314.99
The wonderful thing about old Ardbegs is how they mellow with time and the Lord of the Isles is no exception. This 25 year old Ardbeg is named in honour of the Feudal Viking/Scots who ruled the west coast of Scotland independent of England, Scotland and Denmark in the Middle Ages. This is classic old Ardbeg with hints of Christmas cake where the soft peat oils melt on your tongue.
Macallan Fine Oak 25 Year
$401.39
SOLD OUT. Most age stated Macallan are no longer available in Alberta and Canada. They have been replaced with Macallan Gold, Amber, Sienna, Ruby and Rare Cask as well as a few more limited releases. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this.

The result is a softer more delicate style of Macallan with more vanilla & floral tones. Distillers Tasting Note: NOSE: Rich and robust, with a hint of peach, blood orange and wood spice. PALATE: Intense, coconut and vanilla, with a hint of sultana, lemon and peat. FINISH: Lingering, with a hint of sherry, orange and spice.
Laphroaig 25 Year
$494.99
Jim Murray's Tasting Note: "Taste: the grapes ensure the peat is met by a salavating palate; particularily impressive is the way the sweet peat slowly finds its footing and spreads beautifully; Finish: no shortage of cocoa, a kind of peaty fruit and nut chocolate bar; Balance: ...its development is first class. This one's all about effect-and it works, a treat!"
