About The Label
"This label is based on the beginning of a Manga-inspired story featuring Dave Worthington as a ‘Wild West of Scotland’ a whisky warrior. This will be the first story of the series of labels of his detailed adventures. Beginning with this one the bestowing of his powers by the Whisky Gods. The setting is dark with just a few single spot lights on Dave to give light around him. There are heads carved within the stone surrounding him, as he is in a chamber. To the left hand side in the foreground is a cloaked women with her hood down. Her head is raised, mouth open and arm raised aloft, clutching Banjolnir, a Banjo, the mystical instrument of the Whisky Gods which is fizzing with light energy. In the centre Dave is kneeled with his head bowed but in respect, not fear, mindful of the awesome responsibility being given to him. He is dressed in jeans, a shirt and waistcoat, with a single leather, Bandolero strap across his chest - with, instead of bullets, a range of different pipes as well as a couple of harmonicas in it. His beard should have some real quality to it - it is quite likely that his beard may turn out to be where his power is held as the story evolves.""
Boutique-y Bushmills 22 Year
$499.99
This 22 year old Bushmills single malt was finished in an ex-Maury Wine Cask, before bottling at 45.8%.
About the Label
"The inspiration for our original label comes straight out of a British made sitcom called ‘Father Ted’ It originally aired on Channel 4 from April 1995 and ran for just three series up until May 1998. It came straight from an episode called ‘A Song for Europe’ that featured ‘My lovely Horse’. We didn’t want to change the label too much. That “My Lovely Horse” one is just bloody classic. Nice one, Emily!"
Eau Claire Single Malt Batch #008

Producer Description
"Batch 008 is crafted for those who seek a whisky with a sense of place and a story to tell. Groundbreaking with tradition, our annual single malt captures the spirit of Alberta’s prairies and peaks. Made from the world’s finest barley and crystal-clear glacial water, it matures high in the rare mountain air where shifting seasons gift remarkable depth and character. The result is a whisky that honours the old ways while forging new paths, an expression of land, craft, and innovation that is unmistakably Eau Claire."
Bruichladdich Octomore 16.3
$339.99
Octomore 16.3 is a 2019 vintage, produced from Concerto barley, harvest at Octomore Farm on Islay in 2018, peated to 189.5ppm. The whisky was matured in a mix of Bourbon, Sauternes, and PX Sherry casks before bottling at 5 years and 61.6%.
Producer Description
"Continuing the Series 16 odyssey, this elegant single malt explores the influence of barley grown in Church Field on Octomore Farm, Islay. A symphony of honeyed malt, toasted grain and a distinctive earthiness meet delicate threads of smoke and salinity.
"An Octomore of balance and restraint, this expression showcases the elegance and complexity possible when the spotlight shifts from cask influence to the spirit’s inherent character. It’s an Octomore for contemplation, a quiet giant that reveals its depths slowly, highlighting the interplay of homegrown barley, smoke, and the subtle floral essence of Islay."
Berry's Glen Keith 1995 21 Year
$229.99
This 21 year old Glen Keith, a 1995 vintage was matured in cask 171273 (of unspecified type, but probably a refill American oak hogshead) and was bottled in 2017 at a cask strength of 49.8%. The whisky was discovered in one of Berry Bros.' warehouses, years after it was bottled, and offered to KWM as an archive release. The whisky was produced at the once closed (1999), then reopened (2013, and soon to be closed again* (2026 or 2027) Glen Keith Distillery.
*This is just a bit of black humour, we have absolutely no idea whether Glen Kinchie will remain open, or for how long. But of all of Pernod Ricard's distilleries, it is probably the most likely to be shut down... again... though it was refurbished in 2012. Maybe they will close Glenlivet instead!
