Producer Description
"This 'Sideburn' blended malt Scotch whisky was distilled in 2007 and filled into cask as Burnside from William Grant & Sons. It has matured ever since in a single 1st fill Bourbon barrel for 18 years, before we bottled it at natural cask strength as this celebratory Decadent Drams release exclusively for the 10th anniversary of Heads & Tails. Congratulations Igor! Here's to another ten years of distillate-driven spirits and friendship! Please enjoy this special bottling with the smooth revelry and majestic groove of a veteran party Moose."
Living Souls Torabhaig 7 Year
$119.99
This 7 year old Torabhaig is one of the first independent bottlings we have seen of the distillery, bottled at 51.5% from a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel.
Producer Description
"This release is a bold single malt from Torabhaig distillery on the Isle of Skye, matured in 1st fill bourbon barrels. A sip takes you to a late summer BBQ by a misty Scottish loch, where the scent of smoked ham hangs in the cool air and laughter echoes off the hills. Flavours of burnt sticky marshmallows and roasted almonds fill the air, creating a sweet and savoury contrast that lingers. This is a dram made for long evenings, full of flavour and lively conversation. "
North Star Glenxxxx 19 Year Single Malt
$179.99

Michter's Kentucky Straight Bourbon
$82.99
This is Michter's Flagship Bourbon, bottled at 45.7%, it is excellent value.
While the Michter’s name has a long and storied history, the Michter’s Distillery of Louisville, KY has only been in operation since 2015. Any whiskey bottled that is older than that was sourced from other distilleries, typically within Kentucky. Luckily, the quality of anything bottled with the Michter’s label on it is typically high, regardless of their original provenance.
Other than their single barrel products, Michter’s typically bottles their whiskey from selected small batches of 20 barrels or less.
From the Distillery: "Michter’s US 1 Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection, with barrels often aging in excess of eight years. Truly “small batch,” each batch of our US 1 Bourbon is typically composed of no more than two dozen barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel," according to the team at Michter's. It has notes of "rich caramel with balanced vanilla, stone fruit notes, smoky depth, with an oak finish."
Boutique-y Dumbarton 33 Year
$239.99
This 33 year old single grain from the closed Dumbarton distillery, bottled from a Refill Hogshead orginally filled in 1992 at 45.8%.
About the Label
"It’s another of our shockingly bad puns and plays on the extreme heaviness of the grains!
There’s a series of strong cliches carrying and moving cartoonishly heavy bags of grain (two circus strong-men, a crane being used to lift a single bag, and an ornate Rajasthani elephant). Hey, that elephant would look cool front & centre on the label, dontcha think, Em?"
Jameson Irish Whiskey
$42.99
Jameson's Irish whiskey has a long and distinguished history. John Jameson, originally from Scotland, opened the Dublin distillery in 1780 and its whiskey is now world-famous for its distinctive character and smoothness. Currently produced in Midleton by Irish Distillers, Jameson's has a pronounced pot still character and is matured in charred American Oak.
Producer Description
"Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish Whiskey. What's that we hear you say? Well first we take the best of pot still and fine grain whiskeys. Then we triple distill them- not because we have to because we want to as it gives it its signature smoothness. Finally we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years. It’s where we recommend starting your whiskey journey. How to drink it? Any way you like. Just add mates and widen the circle. Triple distilled, twice as smooth, one of a kind."
Boutique-y 21 Year Irish Whiskey
$184.99
This 21 year old Irish Whiskey from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is part of their core range. Although some sources indicate it is a Blended Irish Whiskey, the image on the label is a Connemara Pony... so could this be from Cooley Distillery?! Bottled at 45.8% from Bourbon & Sherry Casks.
Producer Description
"Galloping toward your gullet, here comes our lovely horse (It’s a Connemara Pony).
"This is an extraordinary Irish Whiskey, aged to perfection over 21 years in a delightful marriage of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. It delivers an elegant symphony of honeyed malt, dried fruits, and toasted oak, with undertones of dark chocolate, fig, and baking spices. A small batch release of circa 1,000 litres each time. Non chill-filtered, and natural cask matured colour."
Berry's Sherry Cask Blended Malt
$66.99
Looking for big, jammy sherried whisky? Of course you are. Everybody is. Fruit compote, rich spice, deep threads of chocolate and a surprisingly gentle nuttiness. In short, textbook shrried malt. There are only two reasons this one is priced the way it is: 1) it's an independent bottling and 2) it's a blended malt. Whisky aficionados know those things are nothing but words, however, and one taste will serve to assure that the juice in the jug is just as good as (or better than) you'd imagine.
