Producer Description
"This 'Sideburn' blended malt Scotch whisky was distilled in 2007 and filled into cask as Burnside from William Grant & Sons. It has matured ever since in a single 1st fill Bourbon barrel for 18 years, before we bottled it at natural cask strength as this celebratory Decadent Drams release exclusively for the 10th anniversary of Heads & Tails. Congratulations Igor! Here's to another ten years of distillate-driven spirits and friendship! Please enjoy this special bottling with the smooth revelry and majestic groove of a veteran party Moose."

Whisky Trail Glen Keith 20 Year KWM Cask
$259.99
This 1996 vintage Glen Keith was matured 20 years in a Sherry Butt before bottling at 46.6%. Only 24 bottles have come to Canada, exclusively for Kensington Wine Market. But while our logo is on the label, there are just 24 bottles, meaning this isn't your typical KWM cask... so what's the story?!
More than a year ago, while looking at some casks with Elixir Distillers, we were offered 24 bottles of a 1996 Glen Keith, bottled at 20 years of age, presumably in 2016 or 2017. We assumed it was a single cask, bottled for another of Elixir Distillers' clients. In any case, the whisky was good, and the price was fair so we decided to take it.
On arrival, we did a little digging, and came upon an interesting coincidence. We don't know this for sure, but we can only find two other 20 year old 1996 vintage Glen Keiths bottled at 46.6%, and they were both done for the Whisky Exchange, which was owned by Elixir Distillers at the time. One of them appears to have been bottled for the 20th Anniversary of the Whisky Exchange in 2019, and the other, presumably the same year, as a Staff Christmas bottle, also marking the 20th Anniversary.
The most likely explanation, is that ours is the same whisky. In any case it is excellent, and we aren't getting very much of it!

From the Producer;
FAMILY-OWNED & OPERATED
"All of our Wheated Bourbons are handcrafted and distilled in downtown Louisville at Heaven Hill’s Bernheim Distillery.
From there, the liquid is poured into new-charred American White Oak barrels and taken to our open-air rickhouses in Bardstown, where they will rest for several years until the Bourbon reaches its perfect taste profile.
"A crowd favorite for a reason UNLOCK SMOOTHER SIPS WITH LARCENY SMALL BATCH."
