Dumangin Whisky Benrinnes 2008
$159.99
Gilles Dumangin doesn't make things easy on himself when he wraps his whiskies in wine. He has a habit of stacking the deck against himself by picking distilleries that boast some of the most challenging profiles in all of Scotch Whisky: Benrinnes, Ardmore, Fettercairn, Craigellachie. These aren't exactly the most mild-mannered of malts. It's a testament to the man's craft. I love the whole 'if you're going to swing, swing for the fences' mentality.
This Benrinnes spent 10 years in a Refill Hogshead before 23 months in Ratafia Champenois.

About The Whisky Trail
"The Whisky Trail is a collection of young and old casks, taking drinkers off the beaten path of whisky. Only whiskies that demonstrate the most exceptional characteristics are hand-selected to be bottled as part of the Whisky Trail range, and with each cask as unique as a fingerprint, no two expressions will ever be the same. To ensure each whisky maintains its full flavour and cask character, we never chill-filter or add colour."

Cut Point Benrinnes 2008 Single Cask
$139.99
Cut/Point is an exciting new addition to the indie bottling game. The fine gent who launched this brand is not only a Keeper of the Quaich and long time whisky industry demi-god, he's also a local boy with his finger on the pulse 'round thses parts. In other words...Cut/Point may be new, but it's also already an old soul, and one that is easy to put stock in.
Benrinnes is a very hit or miss malt most of the time, but this particular cask is a real fireworks show. Cereal-forward with just enough cask influence to rein in the spirit. Refreshingly, left to be naked. It's a boozy, swaggering little beast in a style we don't see enough of. A bit challenging, and very retro.
Cask number 307387 was an ex-Bourbon Hogshead that yielded 298 bottles at 57.4%.
