This 18 year old "Blended Malt" is part of a range of whiskies released by Gordon & MacPhail to highlight what they are doing at The Cairn Distillery. The distillery's own whiskies won't be ready for some time, but in the interim they have created bottlings to show what the spirit might be like in 12, 18, 25, 30, 40, 57, and 70 years. The Cairn Distillery sits at 57 degrees north latitude-wise, hence the name CRN57 for these releases. 43%

Anohka TINW Special Edition 2025
$79.99
Central Alberta's Anohka Distillery is getting close to having whisky ready to bottle. In the interim we have been enjoying their This Is Not Whisky Barrel Aged Single Malt. This "Christmas" release was made from heavily peated malt, bottled after 31 months in ex-Bourbon Quarter Cask and ex-Rum, at 49%.
Producer Description
"This special Christmas 2025 release is a peated single malt, offering rich, smoky notes. Most of this spirit started in quarter casks for over 2 years from which about half of the whisky was lost to some very greedy angels. The result was then finished in rum and French oak barrels and delivers warm, festive flavours reminiscent of Christmas around a cozy fire.
"This spirit was double distilled and the most heavily peated spirit we have released to date. The spirit that went into these barrels was named the World's Best New Make & Young Spirit."
Macallan Harmony Honey Orchid Tea
$374.99
The 5th release in the Macallan Harmony Collection was bottled at 43.9% after maturing in Sherry and Bourbon casks.
Producer Description
"An exquisite single malt whisky matured in a combination of sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, with a subtle inclusion of casks that previously held bourbon. This whisky is inspired by JING's Phoenix Honey Orchid, a complex tea with lush dessert wine aromas and exotic fruit notes.
"Predominantly matured in sherry seasoned American oak casks, the whisky has drawn fruity and floral flavours, beautifully balanced by the inclusion of sherry seasoned European oak, which offers a pleasing roasted richness and a touch of astringency. The subtle inclusion of casks that previously held bourbon adds a final sweetness, emulating the dessert wine aromas found in this tea that inspires this single malt."

Highland Park Cask Strength Heather

Producer Description
"Cask Strength Heather is a new special edition single-malt that has been crafted with 100% peat-smoked barley to offer the most vibrant expression of Orkney heathered peat. This whisky is a playful, aromatic twist on the signature Highland Park taste, bottled at cask strength."

Whisky for Us Saanich Single Malt 53%
$91.99
This Whisky For Us release is from an undisclosed distillery in Saanich on Vancouver Island. A little over 4 years old, it matured most of its life in a Moscatel Barrique. 53%
Producer Description
"Named for the beautiful region of its origin, Saanich is a whisky born from a chance encounter. After being denied a barrel from a sought-after Vancouver distillery, a chance opportunity arose; a cask of a Vancouver Island single malt was offered. This 4.5-year-old spirit spent the majority of its life in a Moscatel Barrique, resulting in an explosively bright, fruity, and floral profile—a truly unique expression of Canadian Island whisky.
"As we didn’t purchase this barrel direct from the distillery, we’re not using their name on the label. But there’s only one well known distillery in Saanich on Vancouver Island that’s known for making whisky. To further make things interesting, this cask is supposedly peated, yet we haven’t been able to detect any ourselves. Maybe you will?"

$194.99
