Tullibardine 25 Year
$341.99
When Tullibardine retooled their lineup in 2013 the 25 year was launched as the premiere expression in the core range. Bottled at 43%, the distillery has not specified the cask type.
Tullibardine located in the southern Highland town of Blackford, just north of Perth, was the first distillery built in Scotland after World War II. The distillery sits on the site of a series of breweries which date back more than 500 years. In 1488 King James IV, then aged 14, paid a visit to a brewery in Blackford to purchase beer for his coronation.
Distillery's Tasting Note: "This is benchmark Tullibardine, full-bodied, smooth and fruity in the mouth. There are a myriad of flavours coming from toffee, spice and dried apricots, through to the more obvious barley and vanilla notes on the finish. This is a Tullibardine to savour and take ones time over."
Loch Lomond 14 Year
$84.99
This 14 year old Loch Lomond was initially matured in American Oak before finishing in Limousin oak. 46%
Glendronach Parliament 21 Year
$449.99
Not so much a classic, as it is an icon. When you're looking for big sherried malts, there's probabaly not many that should come before this one.
...when you can get your hands on it, that is.
Producer Description
"Matured in a combination of the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for a minimum of 21 years and bottled at 48% ABV, the ‘Parliament’ continues the great GlenDronach tradition of offering fruit-laden intensity in its single malts. This rich expression has been named ‘Parliament’ after the colony, or ‘parliament’, of rooks that have been nesting in the trees that overlook the GlenDronach distillery for almost 200 years."
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!

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.
Moonbroch Caol Ila 2007 14 Year
$244.99
This Moonbroch bottling of Caol Ila was distilled in August of 2007, and matured 14 years in a Hogshead before bottling at 51.8%.
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.
