OMC 25th Annv Linkwood 13 Year
$174.99
Ex-Cream Sherry casks. Not something we hear much of for whisky maturation, but Hunter Laing seems to have some. This 13 Year Old Linkwood was bottled in celebration of Old Malt Cask's 25th Anniversary. How can the Old Malt Cask label be older than the Hunter Laing Company? That is an interesting story for another time! From a single Canasta Cream Sherry Butt, bottled at 50%.

Bruichladdich Organic 2010
$124.99
Distilled in 2009 from organically grown barley harvested in 2008, the whisky was matured 8 years in ex-Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels before bottling at 50%!
Producer Description: "The whisky we distil from the organic barley of Mid Coul reflects the complex natural flavours of the landscape. Just as our stillmen refuse to abandon the traditional crafts of distillation in favour of automation or industrialisation, so farmer William Rose rejects the use of herbicides, pesticides and artificial fertilisers. Crop rotation is key. Our barley must take its turn in a seven year farm cycle that also produces organic cattle, sheep, oats, beans, grass, carrots, market gardening and a megawatt of green electricity. Respecting the land, the soil and the climate nourishes a genuine and thorough understanding of terroir and the results are pure Bruichladdich."
Highland Park 40 Year
$15,000.00
Producer Description
First released in April 2008, HIGHLAND PARK 40 Year Old is batched in very small quantities with only 10 casks selected for each bottling – it’s the culmination of years of whisky-making knowledge and experience.
Described in Whisky Magazine as ‘an incredibly well drinking Highland Park… sharing some of the 18 Year Old’s refinement but taking it into a different league’, our 40 Year Old is both highly complex and beautifully balanced, a rich and luxurious single malt at once deep, aromatic and smoky, yet singing with the sweetest notes of soft toffee, dark chocolate and fragrant orange zest.
Andrew's Tasting Note (From 2008)
My tasting note from Highland Park Distillery on Monday September 8th 2008. 48.3%
Nose: strawberries and whipped cream, fresh peach, crème brule and white chocolate.
Palate: dark fruits in fresh whipped cream with dark chocolate, honey and smoke show up later.
Finish: buttery and mouthwatering with honey, fresh fruit and rich cream.
Comment: As my friend, Jane would say, "it tastes like more!" Although Highland Park has not positioned this whisky to be a collectible, it is beautifully packaged and a real treasure.
Glenfiddich Experimental Fire & Cane
$97.99
The 4th release in the Glenfiddich Experimental Series is a peated single malt finished in sweet rum casks. Bottled at 43%.
Producer's Description
"Glenfiddich Fire & Cane features a fusion of two bold flavours coming together to form the unexpected combination of smoky Glenfiddich whisky finished in sweet rum casks.
"Fire & Cane is inspired by the early innovation of Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman, who in 2003, first ran peated spirit through the Glenfiddich stills, birthing the concept of what would become the innovative Experimental Series. As the fourth expression of the Experimental Series, Fire & Cane fuses the brand’s smoky whisky with malts that had been maturing side-by-side in bourbon casks, showcasing Glenfiddich’s sweet and fruity signature style. Taking it a step further, all of the whiskies were finished in Latin rum casks to produce a surprising overlay of added caramel toffee sweetness."

Producer Description
"This opulent Scotch whisky was patiently perfected in the finest oak casks for 18 long years. Silently slumbering in our on-site warehouses, the spirit underwent continual monitoring until Billy Walker deemed it had reached its pinnacle.
"With enticing aromas of honey and mocha, followed by marzipan and dark cherry tones on the palate, it’s a single malt oozing elegant refinement.
"We proudly present The GlenAllachie 18-year-old with integrity; at a high strength of 46%, without added colouring or chill filtration, allowing the unpeated whisky’s true character to reign supreme."
