Producer Description
"Every now and again, a modern sherry cask just lands exactly where you want it, and this is one of those. A single 1st fill sherry hogshead of Glenlivet 2006, aged for 19 years and bottled with a small, deliberate reduction to our much-loved 57.1%. It’s Glenlivet in full, confident stride, rich, composed and unapologetically sherried, but still letting the distillate keep its footing. It opens deep and plush, figs, prunes, sultanas and strawberry jam, with a background hum of old cigar boxes, cedar and polished wood. The palate gets darker and more textural, mulchy, waxy, packed with tobacco, milk chocolate and dense fruit, with just a flicker of sea salt and mocha to keep things lively. It carries on long and assured, with spices building alongside preserved fruits, walnut oil and a touch of rancio creeping in. Proper, modern sherry cask whisky, done the right way."

This KWM exclusive bottling of Glenlitigious (cough: "Glenfarclas") is from a 2013 vintage PX sherry seasoned American oak hogshead, bottled after 12 years at 53%. Note this is not cask strength, rather it was diluted to 53%, partly because Angus felt it was more drinkable, and partly to keep the price down. While we generally go for cask strength, Decadent Drinks frequently dilutes some of their bottlings (as do some others) a few degrees to an ABV they feel best suits the individual whisky.
The Glenlitigious labels from Decadent Drams are for bottlings of Glenfarclas, a famously litigious distillery, who doesn't appreciate independent bottlers identifying it by name. Our Glenlitigious label features Walter in a powdered wig sitting in judgment over a ram stuffy, his paw on a squeaky toy gavel, and his tail playfully wagging. This is a not so subtle nod at our last KWM exclusive Glenfarclas bottling, the Door Crasher Edition, which featured a Trojan ram on wheels speeding towards the front of our shop. That whisky was bottled to mark the 2nd anniversary of the Infamous Dodge Ram incident of February 11th, 2022, when a stolen pickup truck was employed to enter our store outside business hours.
Angus' Back Label Text
"Walter is a good judge, both of character and casks. This richly sherried, Speyside single malt, from a rather notoriously prickly family-owned distillery, is a classical example of the make and got Walter's tail wagging approvingly. We've called it 'Glenlitigious', it's suitable for wee dogs and Canadians, but no ram raiders allowed!"

"The fruits of Angus's mission to the Netherlands last year: a frankly ridiculous sherry bomb of Millstone single malt from Zuidam Distillery. This is a proper, old school ex-PX sherry hogshead that matured for 11 years at the distillery before being bottled at natural cask strength. It tastes how it looks: extremely rich, luscious, darkly fruity, drenched in balsamic, syrupy figgy fruits, rancio, old tobacco and some very subtle medicinal impressions. It's a gorgeous dram and a no-brainer for sherry fanatics!

"Some drams are born decadent, some mature to achieve decadence, and some have decadence re-racked upon them! Well, this 1997, 28 year old Benrinnes, which has fully matured in a hyperactive first fill sherry hogshead before being bottled at natural cask strength, is surely a fusion of those first two routes to decadence. For, decadent it undoubtedly is! A sultry, frankly ridiculous sherry bomb that is bloated with fruits, tobaccos, spices and generally 'dark matter'. You've already decided whether to buy one... "
