Whiskyland Ch.18 Gone Grant 30 Year
$999.99
This 1994 vintage Caperdonich was bottled after 30 years in a First Fill Sherry Hogshead at 51.2%. Caperdonich is a closed distillery, once called Glen Grant No.2, hence the name: Gone Grant. 89.21pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"Whiskyland Chapter 18 takes place in one of Whiskyland's many hybrid library bars. In fact, no one is particularly sure whether they are bars with large reading selections, or libraries that serve drinks. It doesn't do to ponder these unanswerable questions too deeply. Best to just pour a generous measure of this rather sublime 1994 'Gone Grant' single malt that underwent a 4 year secondary maturation in a fresh sherry hogshead, select something intellectually nourishing to read, and occasionally glance out of the window at the Whiskyland night sky."
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.”"

$57.99
This NAS "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. 40%

Armorik Yuen Elez Breton Single Malt
$99.99
From Warenghem Distillery in Brittany, France. The Armorik Yeun Elez Single Malt Breton Peated is a Peated Breton Single Malt Whisky (see how I changed the order of these words to make myself sound smart?), distilled from peated malted barley imported from Scotland with a spec of 50ppm. Sadly, we only managed to get 50ml bottles of this limited release, not the full size.
Producer Note
"Launched in September 2020, Yeun Elez is the result of the distillery’s foray into peated territories. We offer you a peated variation of our Armorik single malt : we use Scottish 50 ppm peated malted barley, water from our own source and our artisanal know-how. Breton Single Malt whisky, it has been distilled and matured to highlights its delicate, elegant, and fruity peat."
