Inniskillin Vidal Icewine 50ml
$11.99
Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser founded Inniskillin in Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1975 and later expanded their reach to the Okanagan Valley, too. Their 1989 Inniskillin Icewine won the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Vinexpo in Bordeaux. Icewine is made by leaving grapes on the vine well into the winter months, until they are frozen to -8 C. The frozen grapes are then pressed in the extreme cold, so cold that only a few drops of sweet concentrated juice are obtained from each bunch. This Vidal is deep gold in color with an enticing nose of lychee nuts. The palate is packed with flavors of sweet tropical fruits, peaches and mango. It is intensely sweet with a clean, dry finish. Serve by itself as a dessert, or pair with creme brulee, flan or pound cake. A wonderful gift!

This 50ml / mini bottle of Irish Whiskey was featured on Day 11 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
Could this juice be from Cooley? The signs look good... and boy do we love the juice from Cooley! A 14 year Irish Single Malt bottled at 47.6%.
Producer Description: "Our fourth batch from this undisclosed Irish distillery is a 14 Year Old, a release of just 2,116 bottles at 47.6% abv. If you know your Irish Whiskey history, then you should be able to close down on the distilleries this could come from. It’s a single malt, so that rules out Ireland’s largest distillery, Midleton as they don’t make a single malt."
About the Label
"The inspiration for this label comes straight out of a British made sitcom called ‘Father Ted’ It originally aired on Channel 4 from April 1995 and ran for just three series up until May 1998 Set on the fictional Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland's west coast, the show is about three priests exiled on the island for various past incidents. Our label comes from an episode called ‘A Song for Europe’ that featured ‘My lovely Horse’"

From The Producer
"Built in 1817, Teaninich is a Highland single malt distillery. It’s quite unique-y really, instead of a mash tun, it uses a filter press to extract the sweet sugars from the malt. There is much mystery surrounding the distillery, so we did as all Boutique-y’s do and went to town on the label - see below.
The Label
Based on a true love story from many years ago about Captain Hugh Munro (founder of this distillery). He was shot in the head behind his eyes but, he survived! Unsurprisingly, he lost his eyesight as a result. His sweetheart was forbidden from marrying him due to his condition, so she married someone else. Despite their differing paths, she continued to love him and as her dying wish, visited the church to see him one last time."
