Scarabus Islay Batch Strength
$86.99
It's the same as the regular Scarabus Islay Single Malt... but at 57%, it is punchier.
Producer Description
"Scarabus, an Islay Single Malt for those with a curious mind and an eye for detail. A whisky bold and honest about its origins and just a little mysterious about everything else. The brand creates a sense of mystery and discovery through the tagline “only those who seek shall find” and through the intentionally ambiguous symbols incorporated on the label. The look and feel drew inspiration from the work of Islay born John Francis Campbell, who created the sunshine recorder, a device that tallies the hours of sunshine in a day, as well as creating a vast collection of Celtic folklore tales. Scarabus is known as a mystical area on the Isle of Islay, and the name dates back to 13th century, and translates to “a rocky place” in Old Norse."
GlenAllachie Meikle Toir The Original
$91.99
‘Meikle Tòir‘ (big pursuit) is GlenAllachie's heavily peated Speyside single malt. The Original is a 5 Year Old aged in a combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon Barrels, ex-Rye Barrels, and American Virgin Oak casks. Bottled at 50%.
From The Producer
"‘The Original’ is our classic single malt that truly champions our peated pursuit. Made with mainland peat from St. Fergus, the flavour contribution is sweeter than that anticipated of coastal peat."
Holyrood Embra Single Malt Scotch
$108.99
The second release of Holyrood whisky to come to Canada is Embra, a peated single malt created from spirit matured primarily in First Fill ex-Bourbon, but also peated quarter casks, and new American oak. Embra is slang for Edinburgh, also a nod to the peated nature of the spirit. 43.6%, un-chillfiltered. ETA July/August 2024
Producer Description
"Edinburgh is the gateway to Scotland for many people and this is the idea at the heart of this spirit. The aim was to find that perfect balance between capturing the classic bold smoky flavours and textures of peated whisky while still being accessible to a new whisky drinker. When someone says they don’t like peated whisky, give them this. That doesn’t mean there isn’t something for the seasoned peated drinkers as we have all of the hallmark flavours and textures of a great peated whisky."
