Nc'nean Organic Single Malt Scotch
$97.99
Nc'nean is one of the most fascinating distilleries going. Net zero carbon emission, entirely organic, socially aware, and now with legit 'of age' whisky. This core range single malt was matured in a mix of red wine, Oloroso sherry, and ex-American whiskey casks (we assume that means not ex-Bourbon, but don't quote us).
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
Poplar Grove The Legacy
$94.99
Founded in 1993, Poplar Grove Winery is one of the original five wineries on the Naramata Bench. Tony and Barb Holler purchased the winery in 2007. Their sons, Chris, Andrew, Matthew, and Eric farm more than 140 acres of estate vineyards with care. The family is widely recognized for crafting their outstanding signature red blend The Legacy, as well as delicious Cabernet Franc and Merlot-focused wines and an exceptional Pinot Gris. Together they share a commitment to distinctive, genuine wines that reflect the character of the Okanagan Valley.
Amrut Two Continents
$169.99
Good to see this one back. There's only ever been a handful of batches of this expression, so it's extra special to see the prodigal child return.
Amrut Two Continents starts its life in India and, after a period of initial maturation in those warm climes, the casks are shipped to an undisclosed European location for the last little bit of 'growing up'. An interesting concept (something that Scotch whisky could never do), and always well-executed. This is Batch No 4.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.

Talisker NAS Special Releases 2023
$189.99
Mid-level peated malt from western Isle of Skye. This non-age stated Talisker seems to be a variant on Port Rhuighe, but cranked up to 59.7% abv. This one should be an absolute powder keg!
Singleton of Glendullan 14 Year SR 2023
$184.99
Maybe the least interesting distillery in this year's outturn, but well-countered by an interesting cask type: Chardonnay de Bourgonge French Oak.

Clynelish 10 Year Special Releases 2023

Lagavulin 12 Year Special Release 2023
$214.99
Hm. Don Julio Añejo Tequila Cask Finished Lagavulin. Like splashing a cactus with wet bandaids, salt water, and smoked seaweed. You may recall a Mezcal-finished Kilchoman we did a couple years back? People still come knocking for that one, because, love it or leave it, there's nothing out there like it. Don't miss out on this release. Guaranteed to be one to have tongues wagging.
