Bowmore 18 Year
$167.99
An icon.
We could have left it at that, but sometimes the distillery has such a special place in our hearts that we need to take it a step or two further. Bowmore is Islay's oldest distillery. It was founded in 1779 along the shores of Loch Indaal, the body of water that nearly bisects the isle of Islay. The waves literally lick the walls of the warehouses, and whether or not you believe in the idea of whisky terroir, there is simply no debate when it comes to acknowledging that the barrels rolling out of these ancient dunnage warehouses truly are something special.
Bowmore 18 has had its ups and downs throughout the years, but in the past few releases we've been privy to, show the distillery back at the top of its game. Seemingly gone are the lavender-heavy days of distillation; we're back in full-on fruit mode. And the smoke? Bold enough to provide an unwavering backbone, yet gentle enough to expand the appeal well beyond the peat-addicted masses. Great to have Bowmore back where it should be.

Cotswolds Founder`s Choice Single Malt
$124.99
A small handful of casks were selected from Cotswolds founder Daniel Szor's personal favorites. 'Uniquely active casks' were intentially targeted, to ensure a rich and expressive single malt. These were STR (shaved, toasted, recharred) American red wine casks which, as we can all agree, is the only way to use wine casks for maturing whisky.
Kidding.
Sort of. ;)
Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 60.5%.
