Highland Park Earl Magnus
$247.49
The Viking Earl Magnus is one of the most celebrated characters in the history of the Orkney Islands. The magnificent Cathedral in the heart of Kirkwall (the northernmost in the UK) bears his name and is a strikingly beautiful tribute to him. This bottle is a tribute to the old Gordon & MacPhail and distillery bottling which used to bear the image of Earl Magnus. The whisky is a 15 year old Highland Park composed primarily of whiskies from the early 1990s. 5976 bottles have been released at a cask strength of 52.6%. Only 72 are coming into Alberta an KWM is getting 36 of them. This whisky is strictly limited to 2 bottles per customer.
Provenance Port Ellen 25 Year

This Port Ellen bottling is from a single sherry butt distilled and put into cask in the winter of 1983 just before the distillery's closure. 46%, non-chilfiltered and no added colouring. 90pts Jim Murray
My tasting note: Nose: fresh mown grass and soft citrussy fruit notes like dried orange and grapefruit juice, edgeless smoke and damp sea breeze; Palate: starts softly sweet and stays clean with some developing sherry, spice and peat notes, and the salty smoke is never far off;warming with sweet tobacco, licorice and leather; Finish: long, full and rich with thick tarry peat and burnt spices.
Edradour 24 Year Pedro Ximinez Finish
$149.84
My Tasting Note: Nose: rich cocoa notes, cinnamon, ginger, clove and maple with doughy vanilla; Palate: sweet, sour and musty to start, the whisky shows lots of fruity milk chocolate notes as it develops as well as a nutty backbone, it is viscous and coating with late honey and marmalade notes; Finish: dry and leathery with a touch of spice and hints of the chocolate and sweet fruity notes that ruled the palate.
Highland Park 15 Year
$98.99
Highland Park was established in 1798 on the Mainland of the Orkney Archipelego in the North of Scotland. Jim Murray scored the 15 year old 92pts: "Nose:...there could be only one distillery: the honey-smoke balance and intensity is unique; Taste: soft, dissolving honey finds a mint humbuggy kind of middle to offer toffee and spice; Finishsome real length to this finale with the usual myriad honey notes... a further polishing with Demerara and smoke then buffed with lime..."
Mackmyra First Edition
$66.49
Mackmyra is the first single malt distillery in Sweden and has been so succesful they are building another. Two styles of whisky are produced, one smoky the other not, and they also use some charred Swedish oak. My tasting notes: Nose: fresh, light, sweet and fruit with grassy malt and faint whiffs of smoke; Palate: light, appley, soft and floral with more clean malt and hints of brackish smoke; Finish: light and clean with more orchard fruits and drifting smoke.
Glendronach 1995 KWM Puncheon
$103.49
Less than 100 bottles left! My Tasting Note: Nose: the first past reminds me of a ruby port, sweet and fruity with soft oak notes, subsequent passes are more chocolaty and chewy with fudge, nuts and sherry notes; Palate: at cask strength this whisky is incredibly soft, the palate is sweet and deep with notes of warmed brown sugar, milk chocolate, mulled fruits and soft spices; my third sip reveals some Christmas cake, treacle and a touch of anise; Finish: long, sweet, drying and smooth with more brown sugar and milk chocolate. The whisky looks the same as bottle pictured though it is from a different vintage.
