Loch Lomond Steam & Fire
$52.19
Disregard the price - this Single Malt Scotch from Loch Lomond Distillery is a steal - especially considering it is bottled at 46%. The peated spirit is matured in American Oak before being finished in heavily charred casks, enhancing the bold and peaty yet smooth profile.
Producer Description
"This special expression is created using spirit from both our remarkable straight neck and more traditional swan neck stills. The spirit was then matured in American oak barrels and finished in heavily charred casks, flamed by our own in-house cooperage. The charring process adds a unique complexity and brings out a melted brown sugar character with a rich buttery mouthfeel and notes of orange and dark chocolate."

Producer Description
"This antique single malt exudes sheer Sherry-matured sophistication. Master Distiller Billy Walker carefully selected three Pedro Ximénez and two Oloroso casks from amongst an enviable inventory of ultra-aged stocks.
"The vintage Sherry puncheons and hogsheads have unified to create a truly magnificent single malt abundant in forest fruits, gooey chocolate fondant and wild Scottish honey tones.

Glenfiddich 21 Year Gran Reserva
$332.99
Remember way back when this was finished in Cuban Rum casks... the Havana Reserve... "Resurrecting the lost tradition of maturing in rum casks, Cuban rum was decanted at the Glenfiddich distillery and replaced with 21 yr old whisky. The distillery settles for "Caribbean Rum casks" these days... maybe some of them are from Cuba! 40% ABV.
Producer Description
"We use casks that once contained premium Caribbean rum to finish our 21 Year Old expression. It’s the details that matter. This expression spends four months finishing in Gran Reserva barrels selected by our Malt Master, adding to its distinctive and complex flavour."
