"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."

Glenlivet 12 Year
$54.99
Located within the most famous mountain glen distilling region in Scotland, only one distillery is permitted to call itself The Glenlivet. The first to be legalized after a period of illicit distillation, it now has an international reputation as a whisky of structure and complexity. The mountain setting provides cool weather distillers love, resulting in a clean, light, flowery, elegant malt.
anCnoc 12 Year Knockdhu
$69.99
anCnoc is Scottish Gaelic for 'the hill', which, in English is rendered 'Knockdhu' and should not be confused with the other distillery 'Knockando'. The brand decided to market itself under the label anCnoc to avoid confusion. Knockdhu is located in the Eastern Highlands not far from the town of Keith. The whisky has in recent years been marketed heavily as a single malt, though for most of its life it has been primarily produced for blends like Haig. 40%
Cragganmore 12 Year
$101.99
The Cragganmore Distillery, founded 1869-70, is located on a picturesque hollow high above the River Spey. Its water, from nearby springs, is relatively hard which may contribute to its unique and complex flavor. Typically finished in sherry casks, this version is slightly creamy and smoky with hints of spice and a fine balance between sweetness and peatiness.
Glenfiddich 12 Year
$71.99
The 12 Year Old is Glenfiddich's flagship bottle.
Tullibardine 20 Year
$232.99
The 20 year has been matured exclusively in First fill Ex-Bourbon barrels. Tullibardine is produced with unpeated single malt and is a very gentle Highland malt. Bottled at 43%.
Distiller's Tasting Note: "This is a wonderful, charming, single malt that delivers vanilla, cocoa, honey, and oatmeal in equal measure, while finishing smooth and dry on the palate. There is a complexity from its age, but there is still that hint of subtle sweetness that Tullibardine has in its malts."
Lagavulin 16 Year
$164.99
Lagavulin might well be the most iconic of Islay malts. And the distillery, which celebrated its bicentennial in 2016, is unquestionably one of the most beloved of all Scotch malt producers. Up until the launch of the much-lauded 8 year old in 2016, the 16 year old was the distillery’s entry level expression. In spite of the new arrival, however, the 16 remains the flagship expression in the range, and for good reason. A cornerstone in any whisky collection. 90pts Serge @WhiskyFun
Tullibardine Sovereign
$66.99
The Tullibardine Sovereign is bottled at 43% from 1st Fill Bourbon casks. Tullibardine Distillery was the first new distillery to open after WWII. Located in the town of Blackford, famous for its pure clean water. In 1488, King James IV, then 14, visited the town to purchase some of the best beer in Scotland for his coronation.
Distiller's Tasting Note: "It exhibits barley, pear drops and creamy chocolate notes, which develop on the palate with a lingering finish."
