The quiet rebels are the hardworking folk who make Nc'nean, and Amy is the distillery's Head of Sustainability. The whisky has been bottled at 48.5% after maturing in STR (63%), ex-Bourbon (18%), and ex-Maury (19%) casks.
Producer Description
"This year’s Quiet Rebels release has Head of Sustainability, Amy, at the helm. It’s moreish, creamy, jammy and absolutely delicious. Quiet Rebels Amy includes whisky finished in ex-Maury casks from a small organic vineyard in France who produce a fortified wine that is made in a similar way to port. The 60 year old vines are maintained with a variety of sustainable farming methods including agroforestry which involves integrating frees amongst the vines to improve soil richness. The farm also follows the biodynamic principles such as following the lunar calendar which several studies show is an effective way to determine the best time to plant and harvest crops. These ex-Maury casks have been blended with Nc’nean’s house style STR red wine and ex-Bourbon casks to create Amy’s dream bottling.
Old Orkney Malt 21 Year
$614.99
52.9% - 2003 Refill Hogshead / 1999 First Fill ex-Bodega Sherry Butt
89.18 points Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is our third official Old Orkney bottling. A multi-vintage, small batch 21 year old Orkney single malt, bottled at natural cask strength with a beautiful and rich sherrywood influence. We married together equal parts Orkney Malt from two different casks. First, a 2003 plain oak refill hogshead, second, a 1999 1st fill ex-bodega sherry butt. The whisky from these two casks was combined and married in a 2nd fill sherry butt for at least six months, before being bottled at natural cask strength. The result is a big, very robust and well-sherried Orkney single malt, with a very rugged, drying and salty sherry profile, underpinned by a gentle thread of Orcadian peat smoke. Old school and hugely characterful Orkney single malt!"
About the Old Orkney Brand
"Very early on in the Decadent Drinks story, Angus had the idea to see if he might be able to buy the historic, but long dormant, Old Orkney brand. AKA: 'Double O'. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The reason for this is that one of the big influences upon Angus' approach to bottling and branding, was the old 'Double O.O.' brand. It was originally the bottling brand of Stromness Distillery on Orkney, which sadly closed in 1928. After that time the brand quickly fell into dormancy and was used only very sporadically in the intervening decades."
Equinox & Solstice Bunnahabhain 11 Year
$244.99
This 11 year old Bunnahabhainwas created from lightly peated malt matured in a first fill oloroso sherry hogshead married with heavily peated malt matured in a first PX Sherry Hogshead. Bottled at 48.5%.
Producer Description
"This is our Winter 2024 edition of Equinox & Solstice series. It's a 2013, 11 year old, peated Bunnahabhain matured in sherrywood. To make this we combined a 1st fill Oloroso sherry hogshead of lightly peated Bunnahabhain Ardnahoe, with a 1st fill PX sherry hogshead of heavily peated Bunnahabhain Staoisha. This mix was left to marry for a couple of months, before being bottled at this series' trademark easy dramming strength of 48.5%. It's a big, rich, velvety and generously peaty Bunna, full of comforting smoky warmth and nicely assertive and salty sherry character. A perfect companion for winter nights and good cheer."
Decadent Drams Loch Lomond 19 Year
$355.99
54.8% - 2005 - Heavily Peated - First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel
89.14 points Whiskybase
Producer Description
"A single barrel of heavily peated Loch Lomond, distilled in 2005 and matured for 19 years before being bottled at natural cask strength. This cask was pretty active and has really concentrated the tarry and peat flavours in this whisky. It's a very big and extremely satisfying whisky that blends older style elements with much more modern characteristics."
Decadent Drams Glen Toon (Scotia) 8 Year
$249.99
Glent Toon is a moniker for Glen Scotia, a distillery in the "Wee Toon", aka Campbeltown. This 8 Year Old Glen Scotia is bottled at 57.1% and is the result of one 2014 first fill hoggy filled with unpeated Glen Toon put together with one 2016 first fill barrel of peated Glen Toon.
Producer Description
"This is Decadent Drams 'Glen Toon' 8 Year Old. We made it by mixing together a 2014 1st fill hogshead of unpeated Glen Toon with a 2016 1st fill barrel of peated Glen Toon. The resulting multi-vintage small batch was bottled with a few degrees reduction at 57.1%. This is a terrific take on this famous Campbeltown distillate that preserves all of its usual funk and rich charisma, but with a balanced layer of peat and lots of juicy sweetness."
Whisky Sponge Ben Nevis 1996 Ed.58B
$624.99
The Whisky Sponge Label returns from the dead! Only to be unceremoniously killed off once more directly after this bottling. 55% ABV Ben Nevis from a 2nd fill sherry butt filled in 1996.
Producer Description
"After a very long gap, Whisky Sponge Edition No.58b is finally here. It's rather fitting that this will be the very last Sponge bottling we'll release. Forever. (Probably).
This is the second half of the same butt of Ben Nevis 1996 we bottled as Edition No. 58a, only this one has been finished in a 2nd fill sherry butt for just over two years. We bottled it with even slighter reduction this time, at 55%. It tastes like Optimus Prime after an intense workout while wearing a sheep wool cardigan in a cosmic potting shed."
G&M Private Coll. Pulteney 1982 #860
$1,784.99
This 1982 Pulteney is a sister single cask to one we had a couple of years ago. Bottled at 40 years of age, and 54.9% after maturing in a Refill American Oak Hogshead.
