Balvenie 14 Year Caribbean Cask
$154.99
The Balvenie 14 Year has been a staple for the core range for some time now. Bottled at 43% the 14 is a smooth and decadent Balvenie finished in Caribbean rum casks!
Producer Description
"The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year old single malt whisky has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then ‘finished’ in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. To create the ideal finish Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. When he judged the casks to be ready, the rum was replaced with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding the final touches."
Dalmore 15 Year
$224.99
The Dalmore is one of the iconic distilleries of the Northern Highlands and the jewel in the crown of Whyte and MacKay who also own Jura, Fettercairn and the massive Invergordon grain distillery. Dalmore has at times held records for some of the oldest and most expensive bottles of whisky ever sold. Some recent bottlings like the MacKenzie have been done at 46% without colouring or chillfiltering. The 15 year old Dalmore is all about "sherry wood" having been matured in 1/3 each Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem sherry butts from Jerez de la Frontera in Spain. Sherry notes with hints of orange.

Bowmore 40 Year 2023
$15,000.00
Three years in a row of 40-year-old Bowmore releases! We don't have a lot of details on this one yet, but as soon as we know more, so will you. Safe bet, though: gentle smoke, deep and rich tropical fruits, dark teas, and a myriad of beautiful notes only found in wizened old Islay malts. To say we are dying to try this may be the understatement of the year.
