Compass Box Spice Tree
$90.99
The original version of this whisky was so clever and innovative that the SWA (Read: Scotch Whisky Association [Read: Lords of Mediocrity]) banned it. So John Glaser of Compass Box came back to the table with a whisky that seems to dance through the hoops the SWA has placed before him. Whisky from 1st and 2nd fill bourbon casks have a secondary maturation in custom casks with heavily toasted new French oak heads. 46% NCF.
From the Producer
"A long time ago, we created a rich, bold Scotch whisky called The Spice Tree. Unfortunately, due to its avant garde method of oak-aging, we were compelled by the powers that be to discontinue production. Undeterred, we worked with our cooper friends in both France and Scotland to develop a new, hybrid oak cask that would allow us to achieve similar results, but in a way that would be acceptable to even the most conservative of observers. Et voila, THE SPICE TREE was resurrected – matured using a custom-made cask with French oak for the heads and American oak for the bodies. THE SPICE TREE is a rich, intense malt whisky redolent of baking spices and layered with toasty oak accents that complement the underlying distillery character."

Lindores Abbey is one of the baby Lowland distilleries, only founded in 2017, but rich in history stretching back hundreds of years.

We've done a couple of tastings involving Lindores Abbey now, and the affection 'round here is only growing. This flagship expression - matured in Bourbon, Sherry, and Wine Barriques - is a real cracker for such a babe.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
Kavalan Triple Sherry Single Malt
$141.99
This is not a surprising release to see from Kavalan, we know they have great sherry matured whiskies, though I am little surprised they chose to bottle it at 40%... chasing the Dalmore crowd I suppose... ;) Regardless, I am sure it will be excellent, Kavalan whiskies rarely disappoint!
Producer Description
"This is the first time we've combined our whisky in three different sherry casks. It's all about multiplying and enriching the sherry flavours to make a distinct whisky that has dried fruits, rich caramel, sweet maltose and tropical fruits as its profile. During this process, the flavours collide through a myriad combination of the three sherry cask whiskies, creating up to 9 distinct sherry dimensions. With its main character the dried fruits of the Oloroso cask, Triple Sherry is embellished with the sweetness of PX and Moscatel casks."
