Original Tasting Description

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose with hints of heather and peat.
Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather-honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.
Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.
Talisker 10 Year
$109.99
One of the truly singular Scottish single malt whiskies, Talisker boasts a character unlike any other and is almost instantly recognizable in any of its forms. The distillery, only a dozen years away from its 200th anniversary, is known worldwide for its moderate level of peat and smoke, but more famously for the rich pepper/chili notes and briny seaside flavors that run through the DNA of all the malt produced there. Some whiskies require lengthy maturation to hit full stride. Talisker is one that not only shines in youth but actually showcases its brightest characteristics in its early years. The 10 year old is undoubtedly a special whisky but is approachable enough to be a go-to in the rotation.
Bottled at a respectable 45.8% abv.
Bowmore 15 Year
$117.99
The 15 Year Bowmore is finished for 3 years in Oloroso Sherry before bottling at 43%. Bowmore Distillery, est. 1779 is the oldest distillery on Islay and one of the oldest in Scotland. The whisky is moderately peated by the standards of most other Islay whiskies, and malts 40% of their own barley. 43% ABV.
Producer Description
"Matured first in bourbon barrels then Oloroso casks, there's no finer example of a sherry cask finish than our 15 Year Old. It's the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that gives Bowmore 15 Year Old the rich, deep colour and robust warming finish."
Glenfarclas 30 Year
$889.99
Glenfarclas 30 Year is one of the great, benchmark premium single malts. Matured in sherry casks and bottled 43% the whisky is layered, complex and smooth. Also comes in an impressive new box... if you're into that! No judgement on our end, we think it is very coo!
