Glencadam 10 Year
$87.99
Established in 1825 Glencadam distillery has been slowly swallowed over the succeeding 200 years by the town of Brechin. Most of the distillery's production is destined for blends, but its core range, predominantly matured in American oak, is very good. This malt punches well above its weight!
Tomintoul 16 Year
$136.99
This Tomintoul 16 Year Old was featured on Day 2 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar.
Tomintoul is one of the many Scottish distilleries that used to tack on the name Glenlivet to its distillery name as a sign of quality. Fittingly it is only a few miles from the fabled Glen. Its 16 year is a soft, easy-going and pleasant expression that was matured in American Oak casks.
Kilchoman Machir Bay
$92.99
This bottle was featured on Day 23 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar
Also available in 50ml / Mini bottles
Machir Bay was the first edition of the Kilchoman core range, and it remains a staple. Matured in First Fill Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, the whisky has been getting older as the distillery's inventory matures. Bottled at 46% without colouring or chill filtering.
Clynelish Distillers Edition
$104.99
Only 60 bottles have come into Alberta and KWM has snagged 30 of them! This Oloroso Seco finished Clynelish has been bottled at 46%. My tasting note: "Nose: Orange notes, orange citrus, candied orange and dried orange peel; the waxy honeyed notes Clynelish is famous for come out with patience and some ginge spice; Palate: creamy and spicy with more candied orange, orange peel, dried ginger and thick-waxy-creamy-unpasteurized honey; the spices take over on the second sip with some dried fruits; Finish: coating, waxy and spicy fruits!"
Tomintoul 12 Year Port Wood
$80.99
My Tasting Note: Nose: mulled wine, wet leather, dark chocolate shavings and cooked raisins; floral heather-honey-and undertones of American oak can be found below the port notes; Palate: very earthy-musty, like a Dunnage floor warehouse; medium dark chocolate notes are present but a little thin; faint tannins, shoe leather, candied fruits and more mulled wine emerge in this relatively dark palate; Finish: drying with a little bit of spice, the chocolate, fruits and everything but the leathery tannins and oak have faded away.
Rest & Be Thankful Bruichladdich 18 Year
$379.99

Bunnahabhain 12 Year
$83.99
A few years back Bunnahabhain bumped their strength up to 46.3%, bottling it without colouring or chill-filtering. This is the entry level bottling of the Bunnahabhain Distillery, known as the "Gentle Giant of Islay." Bunnahabhain's whisky is generally unpeated, bucking the trend of most Islay distilleries, though it does also produce peated malts. Bunnahabhain is the anchor whisky of the Black Bottle Blend.
Producer Description
"As the original member of our current Core Range, Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old holds a special place in our hearts. First launched in 1979, the Bunnahabhain 12 year old has endured almost 40 years, thanks to the passion and dedication of our distillery team, not to mention the love and support from our fans and friends around the world.
"Our 12 Year Old has set the tone and the benchmark for the rest of the range – only the best will do. Double Matured in Ex Bourbon and Ex Sherry Casks, this whisky is beautifully rich and full-bodied, achieving the perfect balance of the characteristic nutty and sherry flavours of Bunnahabhain."
Tomatin 12 Year
$74.99
This little 12 year old is excellent value and surprisingly good for both its age and price point. This is an excellent alternative to the two best selling 12 year old single malts in the world yon 'fiddich' and 'livet'! Matured in Ex-Bourbon and finished 9 months in Oloroso sherry.
Dstiller's Tasting Note
Nose: A complex bouquet contains rich malt and fruity aromas with a hint of peatiness.
Palate: The palate is rewarded with a unique combination of attractive flavours – a balance of apples, pears, malt with a gentle hint of nuttiness enhanced by the subtle use of sherry wood.
Finish: smooth, sweet and very satisfying.
