Lagavulin 12 Year Special Release 2024
$254.99
The 2024 Diageo Special Releases bottling of Lagavulin is a 12 year, matured in First-Fill ex-Bourbon and Refill Casks before bottling at 57.4%. Much better. Last year's Tequila-finished release was... let's just say we prefer this cask makeup.
Producer Description
"This is Lagavulin character made sweet under the command of active oak. Bold smoke quietened to a hush, matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks for a lush and glazed aroma. Experience a 12-year-old expression with thick toffee, vanilla, and coconut notes, unfurling with aromatic spice.
A testament to oak’s dynamic influence on bold character: powerful peat tempers into inviting sweetness. Made for the curious at heart."

Glenfiddich 21 Year Gran Reserva
$369.99
Remember way back when this was finished in Cuban Rum casks... the Havana Reserve... "Resurrecting the lost tradition of maturing in rum casks, Cuban rum was decanted at the Glenfiddich distillery and replaced with 21 yr old whisky. The distillery settles for "Caribbean Rum casks" these days... maybe some of them are from Cuba! 40% ABV.
Producer Description
"We use casks that once contained premium Caribbean rum to finish our 21 Year Old expression. It’s the details that matter. This expression spends four months finishing in Gran Reserva barrels selected by our Malt Master, adding to its distinctive and complex flavour."

DUNNAGE NOUGAT
What a tale of oak and fire we have here for this 9 year old small batch single malt! We selected a wonderfully fruity Speyside single malt, which was maturing in bourbon hogsheads. We moved the whisky into a variety of custom coopered casks. In American oak we had new oak hogsheads made with a heavy toast and a medium char, and new oak barriques with a heavy toast (no char) and a medium plus toast (a little lighter, again no char). In French oak we opted for barriques in the same toasting specifications as the American barriques.
