This bottle was featured on Day 17 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar
Also available in 50ml / Mini bottles
Jack Daniel’s typical mash bill of 80% Corn, 12% Rye, and 8% Malted Barley. The mash was distilled and then put through the Lincoln County Process before being put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels made at the distillery’s own cooperage. Single barrel releases from Jack Daniel’s are typically 4 to 7 years old. Each bottle of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel is carefully selected before being bottled at 47% ABV.
The JD Single Barrel was introduced to the world in 1997. It is bottled at 94 Proof, or 47% ABV. The barrels are selected from the higher floors of Rickhouses and the aim is for all selected casks to have “subtle notes of caramel and spice with bright fruit notes and sweet aromatics for a Tennessee Whiskey” according to the Jack Daniel’s website. Every single barrel has some differences stylistically, though, so every bottle of it you buy might be very on the nose and palate.
At its base level, the Lincoln County Process used to make Tennessee Whiskey means that the new make spirit or white dog/white lightning is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before being put into barrels to age. Jack Daniel’s has its own version of this, wherein the distillery burns sugar maple boards/ricks to a heavy char and then sprays them down with water to prevent complete combustion. After burning the new charcoal is ground into pellets and packed into vats through which the 70% ABV new make spirit filters through. The filtered spirit is cut to 62.5% ABV and put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels to age away.
Port Askaig 45 Year Old Islay
$2,039.99
This ancient Islay single malt is exclusive to KWM. Bottled from a marriage of 5 sherry butts and bottled at a precariously low cask strength of 40.8%. Believed to be Bunnahabhain, the whisky scored 90pts from Whisky Fun in 2014, but in 2019 he upped his score to 91pts, which I still feel is low. This is old school tropical whisky!
Producer Description
"Matured in five sherry butts, this expression was distilled in 1968 and bottled at a cask strength of 40.8%. Port Askaig 45 Year Old is an old Islay style that is almost completely lost today. Fruit driven, with next to no smoke and with an abundance of tropical fruits such as mangoes and papayas, this is a very rare whisky and one to be savoured. "
Auchentoshan 1988 PX
$799.99
A new 29 year old Auchentoshan distilled in 1988 and finished in PX Sherry Casks. Bottled at 49.7%. No word on the outturn, suspect it is of very limited availability!
Producer's Description: "This 29 year old vintage has been finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and selected for its superb aroma, lingering sweetness and intensity of flavour."
Revel SOIF
$20.59
From the Producer
"Soif is a love letter to red fruit.
To make it, we blended two spontaneously fermented ciders aged on cherries and strawberries, and added almost one tonne of red wine skins (Maréchal Foch) for an extra few months of skin contact. It's a red fruit bonanza, and our most popular bottle for good reason."
Dunes & Greene Brut Mini 200ml
$9.99
200ml bottles
Here's a great tasting wallet friendly sparkling wine from Australia. Made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir it shows delicate aromas of lemon zest, fresh strawberries and cream. On the palate, look for Chardonnay flavors of subtle citrus notes and fresh acidity. The Pinot Noir complements this by adding richness and texture. The result is a full flavoured sparkling wine with a refined finish. Enjoy with appetizers, seafood, Chinese takeout or just when you feel like some bubbles. Vegan friendly!
69% Pinot Noir, 31 % Chardonnay. 100% delicious.
