Dalmore 18 Year
$559.99
From The Producer
"The Dalmore 18 harnesses bolder notes for a robust whisky that’s deliciously rich with deep chocolate notes. A limited-edition annual release, this 2023 expression is a rare and exceptional single malt whisky."
Craigellachie 17 Year
$179.99
Craigellachie has some of the best packaging in the biz, no two ways about it. Not only is the branding for their age-stated range straight out of the 1800s, but the whisky in the bottle seems almost as archaic. And we mean that in the best possible way. And those age statements? All prime numbers! So far we've seen a 13, 17, 19, 23, 31 and 51. Love it! Expect a chewy, malty experience from days gone by. A bit more challenging, and meant for the true afficionado.
Whisky Sponge Ben Nevis 1996 Ed.58A
$489.99
1996 Ben Nevis has a legendary reputation, and it is becoming increasingly scarce. This 25 year old, from a Refill Butt, has been bottled at 53%. It is described as being very distillate driven.
Producer Note
"This is a hyper-distillate driven, almost ideologically 'refill' profile Ben Nevis 1996. You have been warned! However, for those of you who also enjoy this extremely pure, naked and invigorating style of highland malt whisky - you shall find yourself contorted with satisfaction. For this edition, the Sponge interviews his older self about his successes, failures and unrequited vengeances. You'll have to wait until next year, when we bottle the other half of this cask, to find out what his answers are... The first half of this stark-naked refill butt has been bottled reduced to 53% to bring out a slightly fruitier style on the palate. Next year we will likely do the rest at cask strength. If civilisation remains moderately intact. Stay tuned..."

About the Mr. George Legacy Collection
"George Urquhart, or ‘Mr George’ as he was known, joined his father, John at the family business ninety years ago in 1933 and became a key advocate of single malt whisky at a time when most whisky went into blends. ‘The father of single malt’ as he’s been called, Mr George was a firm believer in the importance of guiding principles, passed down to future generations. The Third Edition in the Legacy range pays tribute to his beliefs and vision – and features whisky from our last ever cask from 1959."
Producer Description
"Distilled on 15th October 1959 and spending its entire maturation in cask no. 3665, a first fill Sherry butt, this Third Edition of the Mr George Legacy Series was bottled on 2nd November 2022 at a remarkable cask strength of 56.5% ABV. This whisky is from Gordon & MacPhail’s last cask – from any distillery – from 1959."

GlenAllachie 2012 Vintage Cuvee WineCask
$114.99
This 2012 vintage release from GlenAllachie has been bottled after 9 years at 48%, having finished in wine casks from Bordeaux, Languedoc and Valpolicella.
Producer Description
"To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Cask Series, Master Blender Billy Walker first expertly matured our spirit in the finest American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before transferring the whisky into hand-selected European wine barriques for secondary aging. Billy added a distinctive twist to this release by ultimately blending four exceptional wine cask finishes into one unique expression: The Cuvée Wine Cask Finish.
"A French term, ‘Cuvée’ is used in the wine sector to reference a blend that typically comprises more than one variety of grape. Likewise, our 9-year-old Cuvée is a marriage of spirit from several fine wine casks sourced from the world-renowned regions of Bordeaux, Languedoc and Valpolicella.
The character development of each individual barrique was carefully monitored, before the whiskies were expertly blended together by Billy. The resulting golden liquid offers up elegant stone fruits, hints of toasted almonds and zesty orange peel on the palate."
