Glen Scotia Icons of Camp 12 YearTawny
$179.99
This 12 year old Glen Scotia is the 3rd in the Icons of Campbeltown series, bottled at 51.7% after finishing for 9 months in 1st Fill Tawny Port Casks.
Producer Description
"The Icons of Campbeltown series pays tribute to the Campbeltown community that ensured Glen Scotia prevailed through history. Taking our inspiration from the Market Cross – a historic community meeting point for celebration and storytelling, with a series of saints and beasts carved into its stone face – each release recalls a tale of local community spirit.
"Each of the releases in our series takes inspiration from one of the many of saints and mythical beasts carved into the face of the cross. To bring these to life in a truly breathtaking way, we have partnered with esteemed artist, Joel Holzman (Lucasfilm, Marvel, Disney and more), to produce the design that adorns the packaging for the series. It’s a challenge that he has fully embraced.
"“I’ve always had a fascination with ancient times, traditions and beliefs. Getting to know the story of this project was inspiring.”"
Whisky Trail Glen Keith 20 Year KWM Cask
$259.99
This 1996 vintage Glen Keith was matured 20 years in a Sherry Butt before bottling at 46.6%. Only 24 bottles have come to Canada, exclusively for Kensington Wine Market. But while our logo is on the label, there are just 24 bottles, meaning this isn't your typical KWM cask... so what's the story?!
More than a year ago, while looking at some casks with Elixir Distillers, we were offered 24 bottles of a 1996 Glen Keith, bottled at 20 years of age, presumably in 2016 or 2017. We assumed it was a single cask, bottled for another of Elixir Distillers' clients. In any case, the whisky was good, and the price was fair so we decided to take it.
On arrival, we did a little digging, and came upon an interesting coincidence. We don't know this for sure, but we can only find two other 20 year old 1996 vintage Glen Keiths bottled at 46.6%, and they were both done for the Whisky Exchange, which was owned by Elixir Distillers at the time. One of them appears to have been bottled for the 20th Anniversary of the Whisky Exchange in 2019, and the other, presumably the same year, as a Staff Christmas bottle, also marking the 20th Anniversary.
The most likely explanation, is that ours is the same whisky. In any case it is excellent, and we aren't getting very much of it!
SMWS SPANISH SPLENDOUR
$131.99
SPANISH SPLENDOUR
This 10 year old small batch Highland single malt addition to the Heresy range displays a wonderfully fruity distillate through the lens of oloroso sherry casks, in both Spanish & American oak and was bottled at 50%.
Outturn: 2277 bottles
Glengoyne White Oak Single Malt
$129.99
Glengoyne Distillery is well known for using high quality ex-sherry casks to mature much of their whisky. This White Oak release flips the script on that premise, though, and shows an intriguingly different side to Glengoyne's Single Malt. If you haven't tried this and the more limited (and of course more expensive) Glengoyne 24 Year Old White Oak yet, then you should.
48% ABV
Producer Description
"A first for Glengoyne, this brand new expression is matured exclusively in First Fill Bourbon and Virgin Oak Casks sourced from North America. These casks are charred for less than a minute allowing the Glengoyne spirit to shine, unladen."
Ardnamurchan AD/10 Year 2024
$114.99
This 10th Anniversary release of Ardnamurchan was made from unpeated malt matured in first fill ex-Bourbon casks with half the liquid finished for a year in Paul Lanois casks. Bottled at 10 years of age and 50%.
MoM Masterpiece Glenlivet 26 Year
$519.99
This Masterpiece bottling from Master of Malt, is a 1998 Glenlivet, matured 26 years in an ex-Bourbon Barrel, and bottled at 45.1%.
