Tedeschi Soave
$25.99
A crowd-pleasing white wine at a great price! The Tedeschi family began their business in 1824 and have been making wine and tending their vineyards in Valpolicella ever since. Soave, named after the hilltop town in the Veneto, is made from 85% Garganega and 15% Chardonnay grapes which are harvested by hand in early October.
This delicious white wine is made with Gargenega (85%) and Chardonnay grapes from vineyards located in the oldest area of origin – the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone – the zone that makes up the bulk of the classic Soave region. The distinctive winemaking technology employed yields an elegant and velvety wine with a delicate almond-scented nose along with stone fruit notes and crisp acidity.
La Torre Brunello
$67.97
The price of wine seems to be getting higher and higher with every passing day, especially in famous regions such as Burgundy and Napa. Brunello is of course no exception to this, with most bottles nowadays going for at least $100. This bottle from La Torre represents great value for money. It offers aromas of black tea, black cherries, and savoury herbs on the nose. On the palate, ripe red fruits and baking spice hit the front of the palate, with a finish of cranberry and violet tapering off. Fine tannins and a crisp acidity keep the palate wanting more.
Would benefit from a couple-hour decant.
Pairs perfectly with turkey or roast beef and will be able to hold up to almost any side you throw at it!

Amrut 2013 9 Year KWM Port Pipe 4660
$214.99
Our 3rd KWM exclusive cask of Amrut was selected last fall when our friend Ashok paid us a visit to the store. Distilled in August of 2013, the whisky matured 9 years in an ex-Port Pipe No. 4660, before bottling in December of 2022, after 9 years at 60%.
When Ashok was going through the samples with us, he was astounded to learn that his Amrut would be our 145th KWM exclusive cask bottling... so he put that little tidbit on the label. Shipments from India don't happen overnight however, and in the 10 months since the cask was bottled, we've launched more than 10 other exclusive bottlings... But 10 months is an improvement, the last cask took nearly a year and a half to reach us.
It is worth noting, that at 9 years of age, this is a very mature bottling of Amrut. It is also almost certainly the first KWM-exclusive cask bottling from an ex-Port cask.
One final curiosity is the bottling strength of 60%. This is not cask strength, Amrut waters its bottlings down to 60%, if they are above, to save an enormous amount of Indian excise taxes...
Seebrich Hipping Spatlese
$28.99
In 1921 Richard Mosbacher Snr. (1898-1977) founded this estate together with his sisters and named it 'Weingut Georg Mosbacher Erben", after their father. The curved 'M' which decorates their wine labels up to this day goes back to these first years. Richard Mosbacher Jnr. took over the responsibility for the cellars when his father Richard - a declared anti-Nazi - was appointed mayor by the Americans at the end of WWII. The winery now produces some of the finest wines in the Pfalz and all of Germany for that matter. The grapes for this wine are grown on a south and southeast-facing vineyard, 60% of it slopes up towards the edge of the forest, while 40% is on the lower slopes, on soils composed of sandstone with limestone and basalt outcrops. This is stunning Riesling displaying notes of white peach, lemon, lime and melon fruits with the classic acidity the wines are known for to tie it all together. It's a fairly sweet Spatlese as is evident in the 7.5% alcohol level.
Boutique-y Speyside #4 24 Year KWM Cask
$174.99
Our second KWM cask from That Boutique-y Whisky Company has arrived! This undisclosed Speyside Single Malt was possibly saved from being blended into Chivas Royal Salute. It is 24 years old. 220 bottles were filled at a strength of 47.8% ABV.
Will you Glen-Love-it? We do, and we bet you will too!
Our first Boutique-y KWM bottle was from an undisclosed Highland Distillery that we know for certain is Clynelish, but which Speyside distillery could this 24 Year Old Single Cask be from?
With this Speysider, we don't know with 100% certainty, but That Boutique-y Whisky Company has done what they do best -beyond bottling great whisky that is - and offered up a few hints. Here is the first one:
"There are 46 Speyside distilleries so are you feeling lucky? Punk? Oops wrong movie reference
Seriously though, we really can’t tell you where this comes from, or indeed give you too many clues…
But don’t let that stop you from discovering this spectacular Speysider - we bet you’ll glen-love-it!"
Just in case that sounds like a red herring, here is the second hint:
"Our label is a riff on ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ where a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins - a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer H.A.L. 9000.
Our spacecraft is this very modern (with the joint largest capacity) secret Speyside distillery, that can be run by just two men, and a computer."
Based on that, it has to be Glenlivet or Glenfiddich, right? And Glenfiddich single malt is never independently bottled as far as we can tell - only casks of Blended Malt that have been teaspooned with Balvenie or Kininvie are sold or traded off... Hmm...
Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo
$134.99
Arriving Wednesday November 22 - Limit 1 Per Customer!
This Glenmorangie bottling was inspired by Dr. Bill's many trips to Tokyo and is the first Glenmorangie bottling to include whisky matured in Mizunara Japanese oak. Bottled at 46% after maturing in a mix of ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, and ex-Mizunara casks.
Producer Description
"Combining bright, bold flavours with soft sweetness, Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky as full of delicious sensory contrasts as Tokyo itself.
"Inspired to capture his experience of Tokyo’s many sensory dimensions and to experiment with rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks for the first time, Dr Bill united Glenmorangie part-aged in Mizunara oak with whisky that had spent time in both sherry and bourbon casks, for a unique limited-edition that’s perfectly balanced with Glenmorangie’s house-style.
"The whisky fuses notes of pepper with bitter cherries and mouth-watering orange zest with incense and sweet oak – a unique and complex flavour profile resulting from the recipe of Mizunara oak, Bourbon and Sherry casks."
Whisky Sponge Craigellachie 2003 KWM
$244.99
Our first ever KWM exclusive Whisky Sponge bottling is also our first ever KWM exclusive cask of Craigellachie. Distilled in 2003, the whisky was matured 20 years in a refill barrel, before bottling at 53.4%. This is yet another 20th Anniversary bottling for our owner Andrew, aka the Scotch Guy, who started his journey in the world of whisky at KWM on November 23, 2003! The label features Andrew and the store dog Walter, bathing in one of Craigellachie's wormtubs, while being served a dram by The Sponge."
