Baldur's Whisky 012 Rye 10 Year Old
$104.99
The first 10 Year Old release from Last Mountain Distillery!
48.6% ABV
Producer Description
"Baldur’s Release No. 012 is a bold 10-year-old 100% rye whisky shaped by a unique dual-barrel maturation. It began its journey in small 10-gallon new oak barrels, where intense wood contact developed rich caramel, toasted vanilla, and warm baking spice before being transferred to once-used bourbon barrels to mature gracefully and gain balance.
The result is a full-bodied rye with layers of dark toffee, toasted oak, cracked pepper, cinnamon, and vanilla, delivering exceptional depth while allowing the classic rye character to shine. Rich, complex, and remarkably smooth, Release No. 012 offers a long, warming finish that perfectly balances bold rye spice with refined oak sweetness."
Baldur's Whisky is made by Last Mountain Distillery, which was founded by Colin and Meredith Schmidt. The distillery resides in Lumsden, Saskatchewan. Established in 2010, Last Mountain was the first micro distillery to launch in the province; in a garage no less. The equipment was moved to its current building a year later. Last Mountain creates a multitude of spirits including Gin, Vodka, Rum, and whisky.
Lindores Abbey Aqua Vitae
$64.99
Lindores Abbey, now in ruins, is the site of the first reference to whisk(e)y. What exactly constituted whisky, or aqua vitae in the late 1400s is hard to ascertain, but it almost certainly involved the addition of botanicals and possibly fruit. Lindores Abbey Distillery's Aqua Vitaeis is an homage to this proto-whisky. This product is bottled at 40% and is made to be sipped neat or enjoyed with ginger ale.
Producer Description
"The earliest Aqua Vitae was made at Lindores as long ago as 1494, and we’ve authentically recreated that recipe and reimagined it as an inquisitively versatile spirit. Today, our own spirit is distilled in pot stills and then infused with a blend of spices and herbs, including cleavers, and sweet cicely, which grow in our gardens, amidst the grounds of the ancient Abbey. It is entirely natural, with no added sugars."
The Maligne Range Watchtower
$119.99
From the Distillery,
"The Watchtower is The Maligne Range’s interpretation of a peated Canadian whisky – bringing together Canadian and Scottish traditions without adhering too closely to either. Built Canadian malt with 30% heavily peated Scottish malt, it introduces smoke with intent – layered, controlled, and integrated into the structure of the whisky, with notes of soft smoke, and apple, citrus, and dark caramel carried through with clarity.
Process and maturation bring the elements into alignment. Blending is approached with restraint, allowing the peat to remain present without overwhelming the foundation. The result is a whisky where smoke adds depth and contrast, supported by grain and structure rather than dominating it.
Named after The Watchtower Mountain, a 2,791-metre peak in Jasper National Park, it reflects a sense of clarity and exposure-defined by structure, visibility, and more pronounced edge. Within the range, it marks a shift: where contrast becomes more defined and the profile begins to push further.
Premium Canadian malt + 30% heavily peated Scottish malt

Jameson Irish Whiskey
$42.99
Jameson's Irish whiskey has a long and distinguished history. John Jameson, originally from Scotland, opened the Dublin distillery in 1780 and its whiskey is now world-famous for its distinctive character and smoothness. Currently produced in Midleton by Irish Distillers, Jameson's has a pronounced pot still character and is matured in charred American Oak.
Producer Description
"Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish Whiskey. What's that we hear you say? Well first we take the best of pot still and fine grain whiskeys. Then we triple distill them- not because we have to because we want to as it gives it its signature smoothness. Finally we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years. It’s where we recommend starting your whiskey journey. How to drink it? Any way you like. Just add mates and widen the circle. Triple distilled, twice as smooth, one of a kind."
White Heather 15 Year
$119.99
This Blended Scotch whisky is composed of single malts from the Speyside, Islay, and Northern Highlands, blended with grain whisky. The spirits initially matured in American oak and Sherry Buts, before being Billy Walkered (re-racked) into PX and Oloroso Puncheons as well as some Virgin American oak, for a finishing period. The whiskies were then blended back together and bottled at 46%.
Compass Box Peat Monster 750mL
$104.99
For those who love big, rich, peaty and smoky malt whiskies, this is your whiskey. Bottled at 46%, The Peat Monster combines extremely smoky malt whisky from Islay with medium-peated Highland whiskies to create a balanced and approachable monster, but a monster, nonetheless. Enjoy!
The Peat Monster was featured in Day 3 of our 2018 KWM Whisky Advent Calendar.
Producer Description
"For 2019, The Peat Monster has a new label. Featuring this quite marvellous specially-commissioned painting, all batches released going forward will showcase the new artwork. It isn’t just the packaging that is different, however: the recipe has evolved, too.
Still very much the whisky for those who love big, rich, smoky-peaty malts, our latest version of THE PEAT MONSTER is older and more elegant than before.
"Inspired by feedback from smoky whisky lovers, our new Painting Label of THE PEAT MONSTER incorporates single malts with a more aromatic and graceful style of smokiness. We have sought to retain the peaty intensity for which THE PEAT MONSTER has long been celebrated, whilst creating a depth and elegance not seen before."

About The Range
"Our multi-award-winning Lum Reek Blended Malt Scotch Whiskies combine Single Malts from Islay and Speyside – two of the most sought-after whisky regions in Scotland – marrying both peated and unpeated spirit to create perfectly balanced and satisfyingly complex malts. Taking inspiration from MacNair’s discovery of the delights of a dram beside a smoky peat fireplace, Billy Walker has drawn upon his half century’s experience in blending to develop a recipe fit for a traditional Scottish toast to long life; “Lang may yer lum reek”."
The MacNair's Story: "Ne'er happier than when exploring the globe or the spirit from the golden still, Harvey McNair was - in the parlance of his native Glasgow - a man or 'lad o'pairts': a true Victorian entrepreneur. A trader, thereby a traveller, an inventor of all sorts of mechanical contraptions, his genius lay in the blending of fine whiskies. He loved and championed the natural, unadulterated colour of whisky. "Pure gold' he said with a wink. Bon viveur and raconteur, he cut a dash about town and had a bursting social calendar. His best stories were always 'agin hisself', like how his neighbours thought him an alchemist or, indeed, how he discovered Lum Reek. But he knew a good dram when he blended it, or indeed stumbled across it. Just like our own 21st Century Whisky legend Billy Walker, who has recreated and refined the Lum Reek blend for the modern palate.
"One autumn evening in the 1860s, after a day's fishing, our man was quaffing a dram in the old stone bothy near GlenAllachie. Due to a blocked chimney (or lum) the room filled with smoke. It had "a marvellous effect on the whisky in my glass," confided McNair later to his merchant cronies. "Indeed, perfection!" Ne'er a truer word was spoken. Today's Lum Reek is the creation of our Master Blender Billy Walker, raising his hat to the top hatted Victorian. It's a heavily peated malt, marrying Islay & Speyside whiskies with rich GlenAllachie, to extend the flavour profile. Lum Reek is matured in GlenAllachie's warehouses, then bottled at 46% (and above), unchilfiltered, allowing its natural colour to shine like those golden autumns Harvey MacNair enjoyed, decked out in his waders."
