GlenAllachie Meikle Toir The Chinquapin
$91.99
‘Meikle Tòir‘ (big pursuit) is GlenAllachie's heavily peated Speyside single malt. The 5 Year Old Chinquapin One started its maturation in ex-Bourbon Barrels, and then was finished in Chinquapin Virgin Oak Barrels. Botted at 48%.
From The Producer
"Coming in at 35 PPM, the whisky has a sweeter style of smoke character owing to the mainland peat from St. Fergus used to kiln the barley. After a lengthy 160-hour fermentation, the whisky has a complex character which stands up well to ageing in virgin oak casks."
Glenfiddich 18 Year Old
$189.99
From one of the powerhouse distilleries and brands of Single Malt Scotch. Bottled at 40%.
Lending its name to the largest selling single malt in the world, Glenfiddich is said to have paved the way after WWII by bucking the trend and not supplying to blenders owned by larger conglomerates. Vision and persistence paid off, and as luck would have it, its style is very easily drinkable and appeals to a wide range. Traditionally light, smooth, with a hint of fruitiness.
Producer Description
"We use fine Spanish Oloroso wood and American oak to mature this rich, intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression, but there are many more reasons why this expression is special.
Every batch is individually numbered and carefully watched over. Each has extraordinary consistency and character from an intense marrying period, and a warming, distinguished finish.
A truly exceptional single malt, the result not just of eighteen years of care and attention, but of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations."

Lagavulin 12 Year Special Release 2024
$254.99
The 2024 Diageo Special Releases bottling of Lagavulin is a 12 year, matured in First-Fill ex-Bourbon and Refill Casks before bottling at 57.4%. Much better. Last year's Tequila-finished release was... let's just say we prefer this cask makeup.
Producer Description
"This is Lagavulin character made sweet under the command of active oak. Bold smoke quietened to a hush, matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks for a lush and glazed aroma. Experience a 12-year-old expression with thick toffee, vanilla, and coconut notes, unfurling with aromatic spice.
A testament to oak’s dynamic influence on bold character: powerful peat tempers into inviting sweetness. Made for the curious at heart."

Clermont Steep American Single Malt
$79.99
Bottled at 47%, this is Jim Beam's first foray into the American Single Malt Whiskey category. Freddie Noe, the master distiller known Little Book series and the famous Booker Noe's grandson, is responsible for this 5 Year Old Single Malt.
Producer Description
"We took almost a decade to develop Clermont Steep, our first American Single Malt Whiskey. In a new-to-world, fast growing category, Freddie Noe started this experiment like he does with everything: right at home. Freddie reminisced about baking bread with his Granddaddy. There’s nostalgia in every sip of this category-defining liquid.
He started with a combination of Distiller’s barley and gold pilsner barley, and our trademark jug yeast to create the base of what would become our first ever American Single Malt whiskey. He then made an innovative, category-leading choice to age the barrels in a level 1 charred, new oak barrel to create a perfect environment to age our liquid. After 5 years, he had created a masterpiece that would make his grandaddy proud."
