Lindores Abbey 1494 Single Malt
$79.99
Lindores Abbey is one of the baby Lowland distilleries, only founded in 2017, but rich in history stretching back hundreds of years. We've told the tale a few times, so won't bore you again, but trust that this young'un is producing some great spirit already. The future looks bright. We've done a couple of tastings involving Lindores Abbey now, and the affection 'round here is only growing. This flagship expression - matured in Bourbon, Sherry, and Wine Barriques - is a real cracker for such a babe.

Producer Description
"You wait years for the first batch from Finland’s Teerenpeli distillery, and then two turn up in in the last two outturns! Our second batch is a 3 Year Old malt has had its full maturation in recoopered American oak ex-Bourbon hogshead, and comes across as lightly peated. Malted barley is sourced from local company Viking Malt (Lathi), grown no more than 150km from the site. Casks are matured in 40 foot ex-reefer sea containers, which sit outside the distillery, with no heating or cooling. Outside temperatures vary wildly throughout the year, from -35C to +30C."
About the Label
"Teerenpeli translates to ‘flirtation’ and also means ‘black grouse’. So we've made sure there’s a reference to both on the label. That’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Jari Mämmi, driving the Zamboni along the rows of shipping container businesses."

G&M CC Bladnoch 1988 KWM Cask #2107
$1,399.99
This bottle was featured on Day 23 of our 2023 KWM UBER Whisky Calendar. You can read the post on it here.
Once again, our friends at Gordon & MacPhail have outdone themselves by offering us the opportunity to bottle this gorgeous cask. At 33 years of age, this 1988 vintage Bladnoch is the oldest KWM exclusive cask we have had the privilege of bottling since our Berry's 40-Year Blend more than 5 years ago. Filled into a Refill Sherry Hogshead on August 17, 1988, there were only 53 bottles left in the cask when it was bottled on the 21st of July, 2022 at 54.1%. A sister cask to this whisky, filled on the same day, is currently scoring 89.43pts on Whiskybase. I expect ours is even better!
This is another one of those KWM casks, where prior to sampling the whisky, Andrew said there was no way we were going to buy a full cask at that price. But the whisky is stunning, and when it was sampled by the KWM whisky team we knew we had to have it. It didn't hurt that the cask had only 53 bottles of liquid left in it at the time of bottling... those are some greedy angels! 90 Points from Whiskyfun.com

$384.99

$139.99
