The Hearach Single Malt
$102.99
The inaugural release of whisky from the Isle of Harris Distillery is here. This lightly peated (12-15 ppm) single malt was matured at least 5 years in a mix of First Fill ex-Bourbon casks as well as Oloroso and Fino Shery Butts. It is married for at least 12 weeks in small batches before bottling at 46%. We are expecting a mix of Batch 4 and 5, of the 8 batches of inaugural release, which the distillery has bottled. Please note we have no control over which batch we receive, and we won't be differentiating; they are to be treated as the same product!
Bushmills 12 Year
$75.99
The Bushmills 12-Year-old is made from 100% Malted Barley. It is triple distilled, then aged for 11 years in ex-sherry and ex-Bourbon casks before being finished in casks that previously held Marsala wine. 40% ABV
Whisky Sponge Ardmore 2000 Ed.69
$464.99
Bottled at 22 years of age, this 2000 vintage Ardmore was matured in a Refill Hogshead before finishing in a first fill sherry butt. Bottled at a cask strength of 54.2%. 88.25pts Whiskybase
Producer Note
"This 2000 Ardmore is a great medley of farmy, earthy, smoky and sherry notes. We don’t normally go for whiskies that have been finished or re-racked. However, in this instance, the quality and richness of the sherry influence married so well with the fat, lightly peaty Ardmore distillate character that we couldn’t resist this lovely dark and gooey concoction. Bottled at natural cask strength, the finish is long and going towards tar resins, wood oils, mineral oil, strop leather and sooty waxes."
G&M CC Glentauchers 1990
$1,249.99
Part of a trio of 31 year old, heavily sherried, Gordon & MacPhail bottlings from the Chivas Distilleries at the heart of the Ballentine's Blend. This Glentauchers was distilled in 1990, filled into a First Fill Sherry Puncheon, Cask #14520, where it matured 31 years before bottling at 53.8%. 89.65pts Whiskybase
Arran Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky
$29.99
The Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky is produced by the Isle of Arran Distillers. Bottled at 40% ABV.
Westland American Single Malt
$87.99
Seattle's Westland distillery has built quite a name and reputation for itself. In fact, even whisky (or whiskey, in this case) snobs have hunted down, collected, and coveted the Garryana oak range.
As for the casking for this flagship expression: virgin oak, ex-Bourbon, and ex-Oloroso, in a whole bunch of combinations of sizes and generations (first fill, second fill, etc). Some decently loud wood, if not necessarily able to tame this youthful spirit, at least has the gumption to toe up with its own aggression. It makes for a neatly harmonized chorus.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
Cooper`s Choice Dalmunach Winter Fruits
$109.99
Port-finished young malt from one of Scotland's newest (and biggest!) distilleries. The distillery was founded in 2015, and this was bottled in 2022, so the math says this one is definitely still on the young side, but we all know how scarce Port-casked whisky seems to be. It also seems to work well in youth.
Only 360 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 56.5% abv.
Lochlea Sowing Edition 2nd Crop
$38.50
Producer Note: "Our seasonal small batch releases showcase the signature Lochlea style in four different ways each year. As a working farm, these expressions tie-in to reflect the farming calendar. In our Sowing Edition (Second Crop) for 2023 we have used 100% fresh 1st-fill ex-Bourbon barrels from higher up in the warehouse than 2022. The heat, faster maturation, and older spirit combine to show a clear progression from last year's edition."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
Deanston 12 Year
$80.99
A robust old school styled malt from a youngish distillery (in terms of Scotch whisky, at least). And we'll forever be grateful for that bump strength.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46.3%.
