Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherr
$75.99
Full product name: "Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks." is a 10 year old mystery Islay single malt bottled at 40%. From Atom Brands, the chaps who brought you That Boutique-y Whisky Co.
Producer Description
"Peat and sherry is a great combo, though sometimes it can be a bit of a battle between two proud titans of flavour. Thankfully, this one shows off a welcome harmony that brings out the best of both. It's a marvellous variation of Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, featuring the same smoky 10 year old Islay single malt, though instead of just 25% of it being finished in sherry casks, the entirety of the whisky was finished in them. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly well-balanced flavour profile."
Boutique-y Highland #5 Batch 1 18 Year
$129.99
This mystery-peated highland single malt was created by marrying whisky from an ex-Bourbon Barrel and a Oloroso Sherry Octave. It has been bottled at 50.9% and 18 years of age.
Producer Description
"A brand new Secret Highland single malt for your tasting pleasure, and a brand new label from the pen of Emily Chappell! An 18 Year Old single malt from the Highland region of Scotland, from 2004/05, and a marriage of an ex-Bourbon barrel and Oloroso octave."
About the Label
"There are a few more distilleries in the Highlands than Islay, but not quite as many as Speyside. That said, ALL Speyside whiskies are indeed Highland whiskies, so it’s going to be hard to figure out where this could have been distilled. Can you tell which one it is? We actually don’t know, and despite finding a few possibilities, we’re really not certain… Our label brings the whole Whisky Team together (at the time when we briefed this label!) It’s starts with Toby whispering the distillery name to the team through a children’s game of broken telephone and finishing with our artist, Emily, with her finger over her lips. She hasn’t got a scooby… It’s a secret never to be told…"

Highland Park Cask Strength No. 4 2023
$169.99
The 2023 Edition of the Cask Strengh Highland Park is here. Bottled at a subtle yet pleasant 64.3% ABV.
From The Producer
"Our fourth release has been matured predominantly in first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks, along with first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks, a small quantity of refill casks, ex-bourbon casks and – for the first time – ex-port casks too. Bottled straight from the cask, without the addition of water to reduce alcohol content, our Cask Strength series marries the traditional craft of whisky making with a modern approach to flavour exploration."

Macbeth Collection Glen Grant 56 Year
$14,000.00
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies wherein each release represents a character from MacBeth, which is a little-known off-broadway play by some guy named Bill Shakespeare.
This bad boy is one of the big ones. One of the six apex malts in the range. A 56-year-old single Sherry Butt of what is unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime dram from Glen Grant that had an outurn of a mere 100 bottles. 92.0pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “It was imperative that King Duncan held the requisite status and gentle character. Over the many years we’ve been searching for casks, we have, on occasion, been fortunate to find those truly rare occurrences of whiskies of great age that retain great elegance.This Glen Grant, distilled on Speyside in 1965, fits the bill perfectly: the beautiful light fruit of the spirit, the suggestion of forest floor, dusty books...an abundance of sophisticated flavours that are created only after decades in the finest wood.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 48.2% abv.
Torabhaig Allt Gleann Batch Strength
$124.99
The only differences between the regular Torabhaig Allt Gleann and the Batch Strength, are the ABV (61.1% v. 46%), the effective phenols in the whisky (22.8ppm v. 17ppm as a result of less water), and the availability... less than a 1/3 as much Batch Strength is coming compared to the 46% bottling!
Allt Gleann is the second release from Torabhaig Distillery on the Isle of Skye, and the first whisky from this distillery to find its way to Canada. The Batch Strength is made the same as the 46% bottling, produced from peated Laureate and Concerto Barly, fermented with Saspirit M-1 & Pinnacle MG+ yeasts, and matured in a mix of 80% first fill and 20% refill casks before bottling at 61.1%. The barley was peated to 77ppm with highland peat, with just 22.8ppm in the resulting spirit. The distillery's tag line is that their whiskies exhibit "well-tempered peat!" The 46% version scored an impressive 89pts from Whisky Fun!
Producer Description
"Our second release in The Legacy Series, Allt Gleann is named after one of two burns that feed the distillery. An evolution on the 2017 inaugural release, Allt Gleann introduces Laureate malted barley alongside Concerto, Safspirit M-1 yeast alongside Pinnacle MG+, and re-fill whisky barrels in maturation alongside first-fill bourbon barrels. There is a little more peat and added complexity compared to the 2017 inaugural release, elegantly showcasing the evolution of our spirit."
"This release has all the typicity of Torabhaig that you would expect – bonfire smoke, salinity, maltiness, and sweet, vanilla-led oaky spice. The Allt Gleann Batch Strength is bottled at 61.1% without chill filtration or colouring, and with a residual phenols level of 22.8ppm."
G&M Discovery Glen Grant 11 Year
$99.99
One of Scotland's most iconic bottlers meets one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries. The Discovery Range is a great hopping on point for the G&M portfolio. The prices are brilliant, the bottlings are rock solid, and literally the only knock on the range is the low bottling strength. But we all know that quality supercedes any bias we have toward higher strenghts, right? Right?
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 43% abv.
Lagg Single Malt Corriecravie Edition
$101.99
Producer Note: "Corriecravie is a hamlet just northwest of the village of Lagg that has its own secrets and stories to tell. This undulating terrain was home to some of the illicit stills that produced the infamous 'Arran water' in the days of early distilling on the island. And just near the village, there is the Torr a' Chaisteil Dun - a fort from the later Iron Age about 2000 years ago, locally known as 'Castle Hill.' With its sweeping views of the southern coastline of the island, Corriecravie is a place of beauty and intrigue that captures the essence of Arran."
"Coming to market shortly after the Kilmory, the Corriecravie Edition offers a unique twist on the Lagg Distillery spirit. After initially being matured in Bourbon barrels, this expression is finished for around six months in Oloroso sherry hogsheads sourced directly from producer Miguel Martin in Jerez. It is then bottled at 55% Vol, once again without chill filtration and with no added colouring. The result is a whisky that showcases a sweeter smoke and rich fruit notes."
