Laphroaig 33 Year Ian Hunter
$2,499.99
This is the third release in Laphroaig's Ian Hunter Series, a work-in-progress 15 bottle collection meant to tell the tale of Laphroaig's history under the careful stewardship of Hunter Ian, the last of the Johnston line to run the distillery. Each bottle in the series is framed inside a book. This third edition is titled Book 3: Source Protector, presumedly having to do with that infamous period in Laphroaig's history when they were bogged down (pun fully intended) in the 'water wars' with neighboring Lagavulin.
33-year-old Laphroaig, distilled in 1987, and matured entirely in ex-Bourbon. Trust us, there is simply no better better way to showcase the majesty of Laphroaig than ex-Bourbon maturation and a high age statement. Apex Islay single malt.
Non chill-filtered, and bottled at 49.9%.

Highland Park 15 Year
$165.99
Limit 1 Per Customer!
Bottled at 44% after maturing in predominantly sherry seasoned American oak casks, the whisky was filled into ceramic bottles, a nod to whisky's history.
Producer Description
To create 15 Year Old Viking Heart, Gordon Motion, our Master Whisky Maker, selected predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks to deliver warm, spicy notes and sherry seasoned American oak casks to provide a balance of sweet vanilla. Expertly adding just a few refill casks to soften and smooth the flavours, Gordon chose to bottle at 44% ABV to allow the whisky’s vibrant fruitiness and distinctive heathery peat smoke to shine through.
About the Bottle
Why a ceramic decanter? Rewind a century or two and our whisky would have been stored in earthenware vessels. Inspired by examples found at our distillery in Orkney, we asked Wade Ceramics if they could work with us to create a modern version. Established in 1810 and based in Stoke-on-Trent in England (known globally as the traditional home of ceramics) Wade share our commitment to environmental responsibility, focusing on sustainable manufacturing and using locally sourced raw materials. The lead-free porcelain decanter is 100% food safe, glazed inside and out, and embossed with the lion and serpent design that appears on many of our glass bottles. Look closely at the back of the bottle and you’ll find the heart motif that inspired this whisky’s name.
Penderyn Rhiannon
$104.99
Bottled at 46%, This Penderyn features sherry casks and a tribute to a Welsh goddess.
Producer Description
"Written in the Welsh language in the 11th century, The Mabinogi are the earliest prose work in the history of Britain. They were transcribed from the oral tradition and have since been translated into many languages. The Mabinogi is generally agreed to be a single work in four parts, or ‘Branches.’ The interrelated tales deal in mythology, history, political themes, romances and magical fantasies.
The stories feature strong women characters, and none are stronger than Rhiannon – an enchantress and a horse goddess who could ‘out-run any pursuer even whilst riding slowly’. She was famed for being intelligent, generous, strong-willed, otherworldly, adept at strategic planning and gifted with both supernatural and physical powers. On her journey Rhiannon uses magic to rid herself of a suitor, is falsely accused of infanticide, and later becomes one of only four survivors of a magical thunderstorm. Rhiannon in Welsh means ‘Great Queen’ or ‘Divine Queen.’ Her parents were the Fairy King and Queen of Gwent (in reality a sizeable Welsh Kingdom of ancient Britain), who educated her to handle sovereignty and governance. Rhiannon also possessed a number of magical birds who could soothe the living into a deep slumber, or wake the dead from eternal sleep.
Rhiannon later became the subject of Stevie Nicks’ song on the eponymous Fleetwood Mac album (1975): ‘She rules her life like a bird in flight…’ More recently Rhiannon has turned up in modern fantasy novels."
Teeling Pot Still Irish Whiskey
$91.99
One of the first official releases from the new distillery carrying the Teeling family name is this Single Pot Still offering. It is made from a combination of 50/50 malted to unmalted barley and bottled at 46% after maturing in a combination of virgin American oak, ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks.
What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey you ask? It is whiskey made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Why do this you ask? Why, to dodge unfair taxation, of course! The Malt Tax came into being in Ireland for a short time starting in 1785, enforced by the (insert expletive said in your best Irish accent here) English. The Irish, being Irish, decided that they didn't need to use malted barley for the entirety of the mash used to distill whiskey and started adding portions of unmalted barley. Necessity being the mother of invention, this eventually became a legitimate style of whiskey-making that is now not just celebrated but codified into law in Ireland with the Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey classification.
