Glencadam 15 Year
$129.99
Matured in ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 46% without added colour or chill-filtering.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Pronounced orchard fruits and vanilla pod mingled with aromas of citrus peels and toasted nuts.
Palate: Sweet and creamy with layers of sugared almond and panna cotta followed with notes of dried apple, nutmeg and cocoa powder.
Finish: Perfectly balanced with creamy rice pudding and gentle cinnamon spices lingering long on the tongue.
87pts Whisky Fun
"A new livery for the 15, it’s true that the former one was quite strange. Jim McEwan used to say this 15 was his favourite malt, after Bruichladdich of course (err, probably!) Colour: straw. Nose: it’s not that often than a 15 is a 10+5 years, if you see what I mean. Yeah, well, I mean that this one noses exactly like the 10 with five extra-years, that is to say with more vanilla, more spices (soft ones here) and a more refined fruitiness (added ripe strawberries here). The rest is similar (apples, lemon, wax, smoke.) Very nice. Mouth: exactly the same happens on the palate, all flavours playing louder this time. That means that it’s big whisky, full flavoured, interestingly citrusy and getting maybe just a tad too grassy/dry after a while. Quite some vanilla. Gets then funnily medicinal (no Laphroaig though), a tad camphory. Eucalyptus drops. Finish: long, still very zesty. Comments: more complexity in this one, a very entertaining profile. We like this one a lot, and it’s rather fairly priced. SGP:641 - 87 points."

Cadenhead Authentic Speyside 27 Year

Jefferson`s Reserve Bourbon
$84.99
"Big and bold with hints of spice, toffee and leather. The Reserve is the perfect marriage of four different recipes of bourbon, one of which is an elder statesman. The result is bourbon that, like Thomas Jefferson, is sophisticated, complex and unforgettable," according to the team at Jefferson's. And we agree - plus it's a great price!
Scarabus 10 Year Islay Single Malt
$89.99
Like its no-age stated younger sibling, the Scarabus 10-year-old is an undisclosed Islay Single Malt Scotch bottled at 46%. It is matured for at least a decade before bottling in a combination of ex-Bourbon, virgin oak and refill casks.
Jura 21 Year The Tide
$319.99
From the Jura website: "Matured in American white oak ex bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected virgin American white oak casks."
Words alone can't express how happy we are that this whisky hasn't been shuffled through half a dozen or so cask types before bottling, as is usually the way with Jura (and a few other brands under the family's umbrella). Ex-Bourbon maturation and more than two decades of slumber tell us that this saline little malt from the Isle of Jura's only distillery should be a real cracker. We also appreciate the 46.7% bottling strength.
Lismore 18 Year
$137.99
An 18 year old "mystery Speyside" single malt from The Lismore. This is not a distillery, but a company bottling single malt from an undisclosed distillery. The company itself just happens to be owned by that family that also owns Glenfarclas Distillery... Bottled at 43% after 18 years.
Fettercairn 12 Year Old
$95.99
We're creeping up on the bicentenary of the Fettercairn distillery. 2024 will mark the 200 year anniversary of Alexander Ramsay founding this Eastern Highland distillery that objectively offers up one of the most interesting and unique flavour profiles in Scotch Whisky. In fact, Angus McRaild (on behalf of Whiskyfun) a couple years back wrote "...cries out ‘Fettercairn’ with these notes of mud, cheese rind, steel wool, mechanical oils, farmyard and root vegetables. It doesn’t sound pleasant I know, but there’s plenty of charm to admire here." Don't even pretend you're not intrigued. Ex-Bourbon. 40%
