Millstone Peated White Port Special #25
$91.99
Superb young example of just how versatile the spirit is that flows off the stills at Zuidam. These folks have worked in countless styles and it never ceases to amaze how well some of their more 'out-there' ideas turn out. Case in point: "Special #25", a peated white port-casked single malt. Distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2022 at 4 years of age. Trust us, it didn't need more. If you're looking for something new in peated whisky, try this.
Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 46%.
Milk & Honey Art & Craft Dopplebock Cask
$139.99
Ok, this one is a bit out there... Bottled after 3 years maturing in a Dopplebock casks from HaAretz Brewery. Only 6 bottles available!
Producer Note: "This single malt whisky has been fully matured in ex-beer casks from the highly-acclaimed HaAretz Brewery. These casks, originally ex-bourbon casks granted to HaAretz by M&H, were in-turn used for the maturation of a special DoppelBock (double-bock) beer, characterized by a sweet aroma and a palate rich in chocolate and toasted malt notes. After 4-6 months, the beer was extracted and the casks returned to M&H, re-filled and matured to perfection for 3 years. One of the casks in the edition spent a full year of its maturation in the M&H Dead Sea Project, enhancing its flavor to the maximum."
Milk & Honey Art & Craft Belgian Ale
$139.99
Another quirky little treat from Tel-Aviv's Milk & Honey distillery... This 3 year old Israeli single malt was matured in a cask used to mature a Belgian-style ale. 55.1%. Only 6 bottles have come to Canada!
Producer Note: "This single malt whisky has been fully matured in 3 ex-beer casks from the Jems Brewery. These casks, originally ex-bourbon casks granted to Jems by M&H, were in-turn used for the maturation of the Jems 8.8 – a strong Belgian ale style beer – which is characterized by fruity aromas, notes of caramel and pleasant bitterness. After 4-6 months, the beer was extracted and the casks returned to M&H, re-filled and matured to perfection for 3 years."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 55.1% abv.
Arran Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky
$29.99
The Robert Burns Blended Scotch Whisky is produced by the Isle of Arran Distillers. Bottled at 40% ABV.
Johnnie Walker Double Black
$82.99
Globally launched in 2010 - the Double Black takes the concept of the original Johnnie Walker Black Label and amps up the smoke and richness. 40% ABV. On top of using a larger amount of younger whisky in the blend to give a more full and concentrated profile, the Caol Ila portion of the mix is apparently bumped up to a slightly larger percentage than what is in the regular Black Label. More heavily charred casks are also used to provide this bolder flavour profile.
Milk & Honey APEX PX Sherry Cask
$179.99
Milk & Honey, or M&H to their buds, should be on everyone's radar by now. Their range is sprawling, the team has an eye to innovation, and maybe most importantly...they know how to handle casks that have previously held wine (including port and sherry). This is unquestionably the influence of the late Dr. Jim Swan, whose legacy will forever be secure based on the STR process alone. But none of that matters unless you have good spirit. Milk & Honey has good spirit.
The Apex range consists of the more experimental end of the M&H portfolio, and the single cask range with the Apex range takes that a step further in terms of oomph and intensity. This single PX Sherry Butt (#2018-0900) yielded just 544 bottles at the ripe ol' age of 3. In this sort of climate, you don't need a lot of years to reach a state of complexity.
Natural colour, non-chill-filtered, and bottled at 56.9% abv.
Dewar's 8 Year Illegal Smooth
$35.99
Scotch. Finished in Mezcal Casks? Who knew?!?
Cragganmore Distillers Edition
$109.99
This is Cragganmore draped in Port. Port-seasoned American Oak, that is. It lends a slightly jammier edge to one of Scotland's most iconic single malts.

The Hearach Single Malt
$102.99
The inaugural release of whisky from the Isle of Harris Distillery is here. This lightly peated (12-15 ppm) single malt was matured at least 5 years in a mix of First Fill ex-Bourbon casks as well as Oloroso and Fino Shery Butts. It is married for at least 12 weeks in small batches before bottling at 46%. We are expecting a mix of Batch 4 and 5, of the 8 batches of inaugural release, which the distillery has bottled. Please note we have no control over which batch we receive, and we won't be differentiating; they are to be treated as the same product!
