Distilled in 2014, fully matured for 10 years in this cask and bottled with a fair bit of reduction to 57.1%, it's a big, darkly fruity, spicy and robust wee sporran-warmer of a dram. Ideal for taking generous swigs of from a hipflask while rambling around Arran, or any other bits of Scotland you happen to find yourself in."
Anohka TINW Special Edition 2025
$71.99
Central Alberta's Anohka Distillery is getting close to having whisky ready to bottle. In the interim we have been enjoying their This Is Not Whisky Barrel Aged Single Malt. This "Christmas" release was made from heavily peated malt, bottled after 31 months in ex-Bourbon Quarter Cask and ex-Rum, at 49%.
Producer Description
"This special Christmas 2025 release is a peated single malt, offering rich, smoky notes. Most of this spirit started in quarter casks for over 2 years from which about half of the whisky was lost to some very greedy angels. The result was then finished in rum and French oak barrels and delivers warm, festive flavours reminiscent of Christmas around a cozy fire.
"This spirit was double distilled and the most heavily peated spirit we have released to date. The spirit that went into these barrels was named the World's Best New Make & Young Spirit."

“Laphroaig Elements 2.0 is an unexpected fruitier whisky with the same peaty character you’ve come to know and love – made possible by over double the typical fermentation period."
Whisky for Us Saanich Single Malt 53%
$78.19
This Whisky For Us release is from an undisclosed distillery in Saanich on Vancouver Island. A little over 4 years old, it matured most of its life in a Moscatel Barrique. 53%
Producer Description
"Named for the beautiful region of its origin, Saanich is a whisky born from a chance encounter. After being denied a barrel from a sought-after Vancouver distillery, a chance opportunity arose; a cask of a Vancouver Island single malt was offered. This 4.5-year-old spirit spent the majority of its life in a Moscatel Barrique, resulting in an explosively bright, fruity, and floral profile—a truly unique expression of Canadian Island whisky.
"As we didn’t purchase this barrel direct from the distillery, we’re not using their name on the label. But there’s only one well known distillery in Saanich on Vancouver Island that’s known for making whisky. To further make things interesting, this cask is supposedly peated, yet we haven’t been able to detect any ourselves. Maybe you will?"
