Big Peat
$97.99
The Big Peat Blended Malt Scotch was featured on Day 5 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can find the blog post here
50ml / mini bottles of Big Peat can be found here
The Big Peat makes one promise: 'peat." Vatted from single malts distilled at Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and Port Ellen. What more could you ask for? This whisky may be made with Bowmore and Caol Ila, but it is its Ardbeg which is most dominant. Given that Port Ellen has been closed for 35 years, and any whisky from that distillery is now very mature, even the addition of only a small amount is very special. Earthy, chocolaty, salty, smoky, peaty and lightly medicinal. This whisky truly is Islay in a bottle. 46%.

Maltbarn Balmenach 2002
$369.99
Sadly, there is no such thing as a Balmenach official bottling. Even indies are few and far between. Shame, really, as some Balmenach we've met have been damn good. This Maltbarn Balmenach spent 19 years in ex-Bourbon, before being bottled at 19 years of age. Outturn of 160 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 55.0% abv.
Amrut Fusion

Maltbarn Glen Moray 2007
$195.99
Really small outurn here; only 63 bottles of this one floating around out there. For a while, we were virtually drowning in Glen Moray, but now that they're fewer and further between, we've started actively hunting them out. Ex-Bourbon cask matured for 13 years.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.5% abv.
Maltbarn Glen Ord 2012
$181.99
Ord is one of Scotland's juggernauts of Scotch whisky. Unfortunately, most of it ends up in the Asian markets, bottled under those wide Singleton bottles you may know. So again... we run to the independents for our Glen Ord fix. Only 148 bottles of this ex-Bourbon 9-year-old Ord from Maltbarn, and less than half a dozen at KWM.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.9% abv.
Maltbarn Tullibardine 2007
$189.99
The quintessential cereal-driven, grain-forward, barley-boasting distillery, Tulli seems to show its truest self in ex-Bourbon like this. Only 160 bottles...for the planet.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.9% abv.
Glen Garioch 12 Year
$67.99
Matured 12 years in a mix of Bourbon & Sherry casks before bottling at 48%. This whisky is tremendous value!
