Kilchoman Sanaig 50ml
$20.99
The Kilchoman Sanaig was featured on Day Ten of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can find the blog post on it here.
Also available in full-size bottles
The Sanaig is part of Kilchoman's regular release lineup along with the Machir Bay. Kilchoman Sanaig, which is named after an Inlet off the NorthWest coast of Islay, is made from a combination of about 20% ex-Bourbon casks and 80% ex-Sherry Casks - mostly Oloroso Sherry in style. We have noticed the colour on this dram has gotten a fair bit darker over the past few years - possibly due to more first-fill ex-Sherry casks being used... Bottled at 46%.

"The design centers around the concept of "fusion," showcasing the perfect combination of four distinct cask types. The oak grain is represented in four unique colors, each with its own character, yet harmoniously blending together. The overall design embraces a minimalist and elegant white palette, highlighting the tranquility and understated beauty that come with the passage of time.
"Introducing Kavalan's inaugural 15-year-old single malt whisky, a tribute to the subtropical essence of Taiwan, inspired by the island's vibrant tropical fruit aromas. Aged in hand-selected ex-Bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry casks, Ruby port barrels, and Puncheons, this whisky is crafted in small batches to achieve a harmonious blend, unveiling a rich bouquet and layered complexity. On the palate, it delivers a robust profile with notes of caramel, chocolate, and candied fruits, complemented by hints of toffee and dried fruits, culminating in delicate citrus aromas and a warm embrace of woody spices.

"The Noir Trilogie Bordeaux Yeast is full of berry nice notes of cherries, strawberries and blackcurrants, with just a hint of Scottish tablet. The Holyrood Noir Trilogie weaves a story that sees French wine yeast plot unexpectedly with Scottish malt before pursuing a classic romance with wine casks, uncovered from the finest vineyards. "
Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year
$37.99
A new Rye from Alberta Distillers! With no press release or information or web page on the bottle to be found. What we can tell you is that it carries a stated age of 9 Years Old, and is made from 100% Rye Grain. Oh, and it is bottled at 45% ABV.
The back label does mention three barrel types used, but does not specify which types. It is from ADL, so the liquid should be good. Plus, the price is very reasonable if the quality is there.
If only this small, plucky Calgary Distillery was owned by a large spirits conglomerate that could afford to throw some money into marketing and entice us on what makes this bottle special... Sure, the same company owns a distillery on Islay that pointlessly co-brands some of their high-end single malts with a luxury car brand because they don't see the whisky as premium enough to sell on its own. That is just fine, but throwing a bit of a spotlight on one of the best rye distilleries in the world would be a bridge too far!
