Distilled in 2012 and bottled at 13 years of age, this small batch Ben Nevis was matured in a combination of ex-Oloroso Hogsheads and ex-Bourbon Hogsheads. The result has been bottled under the Cadenhead Original line at 46% ABV.
Michter's American Whiskey
$83.99
"Unlike bourbon or rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, our US 1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes bourbon-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavour profile," according to the team at Michter's. It has notes of "deep butterscotch and vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit with a ripened fruit finish."
While the Michter’s name has a long and storied history, the Michter’s Distillery of Louisville, KY has only been in operation since 2015. Any whiskey bottled that is older than that was sourced from other distilleries, typically within Kentucky. Luckily, the quality of anything bottled with the Michter’s label on it is typically high, regardless of their original provenance.
Other than their single barrel products, Michter’s typically bottles their whiskey from selected small batches of 20 barrels or less.
Rittenhouse Rye
$57.99
This Bottled-In-Bond 100° expression of Rittenhouse is produced in the tradition of the classic rye whiskies that were once the preeminent American whisky style, kept alive through the lean years by Heaven Hill and two other distilleries. The Rye brand takes its name from Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and hearkens back to that states long-lost but once highly regarded "Monongahela" rye whiskies.
Heaven Hill Distillers produces this four-year-old Bonded Rittenhouse Rye at their Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY.
Crown Royal
$35.99
A classic Canadian whisky, and the top-selling Canadian whisky in the US. It was created to celebrate King George VI's grand tour of Canada in 1939. A bottle of Crown Royal was placed in the Royal train to symbolize hardworking Canadian people. Crown Royal has a light amber colour, with floral, buttery, vanilla and peach aromas. On the palate, it has a hint of sweet peach flavours with wood notes and a dry finish.
Dewar's Double Double 27 Year 375ml
$134.99
This whisky was featured on Day 18 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
The middle child in the Dewar's Double Aged collection, this 27-year-old is maybe the sleeper in the range: its older sibling gets a lot of attention for the higher age statement, and it's younger sibling garners love for price point. The 27-year-old is where you should really be looking for quality/price ratio. This whisky is a banger!
Dewar's has told us that this has "been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks." This time, however, those finishing vessels were ex-Palo Cortado!

Compass Box Hedonism 2026
$194.99
The 2026 edition of Compass Box Hedonism label was designed by Australian Emma Hack featuring Scottish Actor and whisky collaborator Karen Gillan. Bottled at 46%, the vatting includes past releases of Hedonism (2024 and 2025) as well as a Blended Grain parcel, and grain whisky from Strathclyde, Port Dundas, and Cameronbridge. There was also a significant amount of Refill Sherry deployed this time around.
Producer Description
"A radiant evolution of Hedonism, where antique sherry and bourbon casks converge. As the label’s artistry is reimagined with each release, so too is the character within. For this year’s Hedonism, we were captivated by the interplay between the old parcels of Port Dundas in refil sherry and the more traditional first-fill bourbon that Hedonism is known for."
Berry's Sherry Cask Blended Malt
$66.99
Looking for big, jammy sherried whisky? Of course you are. Everybody is. Fruit compote, rich spice, deep threads of chocolate and a surprisingly gentle nuttiness. In short, textbook shrried malt. There are only two reasons this one is priced the way it is: 1) it's an independent bottling and 2) it's a blended malt. Whisky aficionados know those things are nothing but words, however, and one taste will serve to assure that the juice in the jug is just as good as (or better than) you'd imagine.
44.2% abv
Producer Tasting Note
Bouquet: Sherry prominence with secondary resinous and prune like notes. Invitingly seductive.
Palate: Well balanced fruit on a Sherry bed. Wonderfully satisfying and fulfilling.
Finish: Long, lingering Sherry delight

Each sip gives you rich, peated notes that encapsulate the essence of an Islay autumn day, creating a truly memorable whisky journey."
