PE: This Is Not An Advent Calendar 2024
$198.00
Past Event: This is Not An Advent Calendar 2024 This is a set of 5, 5 whisky tasting kits, all in one box. 25x28ml Whiskies. We include links to all 5 Whisky Advent Tastings, on our YouTube Page, on the box!
"This is not an Advent Calendar; it's a series of 5 Advent Whisky Advent Tastings we are hosting on December 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 27th at 7 PM MT on Zoom. We have endeavoured to make each of these 5 tastings equally interesting, with a comparable balance of products with respect to price, age, and style. Each tasting has a whisky over 23 years of age, and the average over all the tastings, excluding the 6 NAS bottlings, is 17.8 years. Each tasting also includes at least 1 KWM Cask, 1 peated whisky, and 1 whisky which is not a Scottish single malt.
"Each tasting kit includes 5 - 28ml top-secret premium whiskies. The name of each whisky is a closely guarded secret and has been redacted. KWM Staff have either been sworn to secrecy or are suffering from an entirely unrelated bout of short-term memory loss. You'll have to log in to the tasting on Zoom from a secure location using the QR code on the box for a classified debriefing on all 5 whiskies, Thursday, December 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 27th, 2024, @ 7 PM MT. The origins of each whisky will be revealed in the tasting, but can also be found on the KWM Blog, through our social media channels, or by scanning the QR code on each bottle."

Caol Ila 12 Year
$69.99
The most overlooked of all the peated heavyweights, despite the fact that it out-produces all of them by a substantial margin, Caol Ila (pronounced 'cull-eela') is a not-so-hidden gem for malt lovers. It is a sister distillery to Lagavulin (and Port Ellen!) and produces whisky with the same level of phenols as Lag, though generally speaking Caol Ila is a tick more delicate. The distillery's general profile is usually fairly citrus-driven, with a strong maritime influence and clean herbal notes. The 12 year old is an icon, but if you ever get a chance to walk up the age-stated range into the 20s and 30s, do not pass up the opportunity.

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Subdued, citric fruitiness; a whiff of bath oil and dentist's mouthwash. A fresh and appetising nose, with little or no trace of smoke.
Palate: Drinks well at natural strength; sweet start; pleasant, light fragrant smokiness and a lengthy finish.
Finish: Sweet smokiness in the lingering, slightly sour finish.

$43.50
The 3rd and final release from Lochlea Distillery's Harvest, Sowing, and Fallow Editions have arrived! This is the Third Crop/release of the Sowing Edition, which is matured entirely in ex-Bourbon barrels. 46%

PE: The Whisky Trail is Back 8 Whiskies
$65.00
Past Event: The Whisky Trail is Back - 8 Whiskies, 190 Years
Did you miss out on one of our famous virtual tastings? Most of our tastings sell out, but occasionally, there are some kits leftover. This tasting consists of 6-8 samples (depending on the tasting) and can be enjoyed at your convenience. A QR code on the box is linked to the tasting video on our YouTube page.
Original Tasting Description
"It has been two years since we've had a new offering from The Whisky Trail in-store, and with 8 new whiskies that landed, we have a very cool tasting range. We will taste our way through a pair of Blair Athols, 13 year old Dailuaine, 15 year old BenRiach, 20 year old Benrinnes, 35 year old Strathclyde, 49 year old Invergordon, and a mysterious 38 year old Blended Malt, 190 years of Scotch whisky in one tasting. Banter is likely to include trips down random rabbit holes about Knights, stained glass windows, and Highland Coos... and or something completely unrelated!"

Rock Island 10 Year Blended Malt
$63.69
A limited edition Blended Malt created from the islands of Arran, Jura, Islay and Orkney. 46%.
Producer Description: "Rock Island 10 Years Old is a beautifully aged, Island “Vatted” Malt, that is proudly offered without colouring or chill-filtration. Bottled at 46% alcohol strength, Rock Island 10 Years Old marries together Single Malts from Islay, Arran, Orkney & Jura, resulting in a Whisky entailing wave after wave of sea salt, wood embers, gentle smoke and orange peel."
Producer Tasting Note
"The nose is initially barley-rich and buttery, developing to wave-soaked rocks with gentle peat smoke and citrus fruits. The palate bursts with a beachy quality - sea spray, black pepper and damp ash. The finish goes on and on, with wave after wave of wood embers, orange peel and gentle spice."
