Buzzard`s Roost Toasted Oak Bourbon
$121.99
Batch No. 1. Not to mention it has the word 'toasted' in the name. Y'all know this one won't last long.
Producer Note
"Created from a blend of 4 & 5 year old double-barreled bourbons, Buzzard's Roost Toasted American Oak Bourbon is a unique blend of confectionary and baking spice goodness."
52.5% (105 proof for our 'Murican friends)
Kentucky Owl Wiseman Rye
$74.99
Bottled at 50.4%, this is one bold yet smooth Rye. Purportedly using a 95% Rye mash bill, yet not from MGP of Indiana. Curious!
Casey Jones Wheated Bourbon
$97.99
The whisky staff at KWM recently had a chance to try this bottle when Cody from the distillery was travelling through Alberta. Like the rest of the Casey Jones lineup, this is very well put together and drinks superbly even in relative youth. The Wheated Bourbon is made from a four-grain mash bill that includes 26.5% Bloody Butcher Corn, 26.5% Yellow Dent Corn, 35% Wheat, and 12% Malted Barley. It is aged for at least three years and bottled at 55%.
Cut Point Caol Ila 2011 Single Cask
$139.99
Excellent young Caol Ila from local darlings Cut/Point. This is brash and loud-mouthed young Caol Ila, make no mistake, but there's also a sort of hidden complexity here; not in the sense that it's tough to unravel, but more like there's a rather difficult balance being struck here. There's a lot of youth on display - which is great when drinking peated whisky, as youth generally equals big smokiness - but it drinks far from underripe. A style that perfectly suggests the aromas you'll encounter at the distillery.

Kavalan Solist Fino Sherry
$415.99
Bottled at 57.8%, the Solist Fino is one of Kavalan's most respected whiskies.
Producer Description
"Fino, Spanish for 'Fine', is the driest and palest of all varieties of traditional sherry wine. Traditional Fino wine is usually dry and is best consumed shortly after the bottle is opened in order to avoid losing its flavour. Kavalan's Fino, matured in the finest Fino Sherry butts, however, provides mild sweetness that excites the palate."
Old Malt Cask Glenburgie 21 Year
$264.99
This 21 year old Glenburgie was distilled in 2000 and matured in a Refill Hogshead cask before bottling at 50%.
Note that this was distilled at Glenburgie distillery, not the legendary and mythical Glernburgie Distillery that we previously fabricated by means of a typo. Like the fabled Macallum, Ardberg, and Aberdelfy before it, the Glernburgie distillery has been mothballed, demolished, and spell-corrected.
Old Malt Cask Orkney 14 Year
$154.99
Probably Highland Park, but there is chance it could be Scapa. The distillery closed for refurbishments in 2005, but when did it reopen? The tasting note sounds like Highland Park, but there is no mention of smoke? The plot thickens! Distilled in 2006, matured in a Refill Hogshead and bottled at 50%.
G&M Distillery Label Ardmore 2000
$177.99
Hot take: the G&M semi-official Ardmore, bottled under the Distillery Label series, is far superior to the official branded releases. It's also abundantly clear that Ardmore is being handled with love and care at Gordon & MacPhail, where they match that big earthy, organic spirit profile with incredibly complimentary cask types. In this case, Refill Sherry Hogsheads. Miss this one at your own risk.
Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 46%.
G&M Distillery Label Glenburgie 21 Year
$199.99
This 21 year old "Distillery Label" bottling from Gordon & MacPhail was matured in Refill Sherry Butts and bottled at 46%.
