Nikka Yoichi Single Malt
$91.99
The good old days of plentiful Yoichi 15 and 20 year seem to be long gone. Even this no age statement bottling is hard to come by. We are lucky to receive just a dozen bottles twice a year. 45%.
Producer Description
"This is a single malt from the Yoichi distillery, Nikka's first distillery built in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky making. Yoichi single malt has pleasant peaty notes and smokiness originating from the traditional direct coal-fired distillation as well as a briny hint delivered by the sea breeze during the aging process."
Old Pulteney 25 Year
$569.99
Bottled at 46% after maturing in Ex-Bourbon and finishing in Ex-Sherry. Lovely with lots of layers.
Producer Description
"For a quarter of a century, casks of this rare expression of Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky breathed the invigorating sea air of the Caithness coast. Sheltered from a fast-changing world by the darkened calm of a distillery warehouse, the spirit mellowed at its own steady pace, echoing the reassuring rhythm of its hometown port. Aged firstly in American oak, its spicy sweetness was later granted depth and colour by casks of Spanish oak. Elegant and charismatic, this wonderful whisky embodies both Wick’s spirit of endurance and Pulteney Distillery’s devotion to its craft."

Wolfburn Morven Single Malt 46%
$79.99
Wolfburn Morven is a lightly peated single malt bottled at 46% from the Northernmost mainland distillery in Scotland.
Producer Description
"This lightly peated whisky is made from malted barley infused with smoke during the drying process. The flavour imparted by the smoke is a reflection of Wolfburn’s history – the original 19th Century distillery was largely fired by peat. Gentle distillation is followed by maturation in our purpose-built warehouses. The result is a beautifully smooth and rounded whisky."
GlenAllachie 18 Year Old
$229.99
The GlenAllachie 18-year-old is back, in new livery... but little else has changed... it is still bottled at 46% after maturing in American oak ex-Bourbon and ex Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"This opulent Scotch whisky was patiently perfected in the finest oak casks for 18 long years. Silently slumbering in our on-site warehouses, the spirit underwent continual monitoring until Billy Walker deemed it had reached its pinnacle.
"With enticing aromas of honey and mocha, followed by marzipan and dark cherry tones on the palate, it’s a single malt oozing elegant refinement.
"We proudly present The GlenAllachie 18-year-old with integrity; at a high strength of 46%, without added colouring or chill filtration, allowing the unpeated whisky’s true character to reign supreme."
