Daftmill 2011 Summer Batch Release
$184.99
This whisky was featured on Day 17 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
We have a new release from Scotland's smallest distillery... I can't back up that statement about them being Scotland's smallest distillery, but it was on their website. Given there is only one man making the whisky, and he only distills when he's not farming... it is probably true. What is undeniable is that the whiskies are lovely, legitimately rare, and in my opinion, it might be one of the best batches we've seen on this side of the Atlantic!

Producer Description
"The barley variety Publican was grown in the 43ac field and harvested by John and Sandy on the 28th & 29th August 2009. It was then dried and stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa during the summer of 2010. The twenty-seven first-fill barrels, which had previously been used to mature bourbon from Clermont Springs distillery in Kentucky, were matured on the upper level of our dunnage warehouse. They were filled in June, July and August 2011 and bottled in September 2023."

Lindores Abbey Red Wine Cask II
$99.99
KWM Exclusive!
STR casks (shaved, toasted, recharred) have been a godsend for the whisky world. The concept has helped restore faith in the institution of wine cask maturation. Those of us with a bit of reticence when it comes to malts matured in casks that once held that grapey goodness have found STRing to be the panacea to all of those sour, funky, fermenty whiskies of the past.
This is the second edition of this core Lindores Abbey expression that was matured in former red wine barriques. Rather dessertish. One dram isn't quite enough. Nor is two.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 49.4% abv.
