This 50ml / mini bottle of Glencadam 21 Year Old was featured on Day 21 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
Launched in Alberta in 2014, this is a very limited production malt. Most of Glencadam's production is destined for blends, so very little of this makes it to advanced age. 100% American oak matured, it is very elegant with a rich body, bottled at 46%.
50ml ml
Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Coconut and chocolate Bounty Bars, Peaches and cream, waxy apple skins, lemon sherbet, a light pina colada note, dry cedar planks, and orange and yellow leaves falling to the ground in autumn.
Palate: Very juicy and creamy with chamomile tea, candied ginger, vanilla buttercream frosting on a red velvet cupcake, more lemon sherbet, passion fruit juice, and saltwater taffy where didn't quite get all of the wax paper unwrapped before popping the whole thing in your mouth.
Finish: Waxy and slightly drying with trail mix on the fade.
Comment: A nicely put-together 21 Year Old that showcases the long marriage of ex-Bourbon casks with Glencadam spirit.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: oranges, mango and banana with caramel and some building spices; citric hard candies, creamy oak and some dusty grains wih floral top notes
Palate: big and coating, muscular but soft with lots of honey and cream, melons and orange; some mango as well, but unlike the nose the bananas are flambeed; it is spicy and nutty.
Finish: long and increasingly spicy/oaky with traces of the fruits that danced on the palate.
Comment: a rich but balanced mid-aged whisky.

This 50ml / mini bottle of Irish Whiskey was featured on Day 11 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
Could this juice be from Cooley? The signs look good... and boy do we love the juice from Cooley! A 14 year Irish Single Malt bottled at 47.6%.
Producer Description: "Our fourth batch from this undisclosed Irish distillery is a 14 Year Old, a release of just 2,116 bottles at 47.6% abv. If you know your Irish Whiskey history, then you should be able to close down on the distilleries this could come from. It’s a single malt, so that rules out Ireland’s largest distillery, Midleton as they don’t make a single malt."
About the Label
"The inspiration for this 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 Set on the fictional Craggy Island, a remote location off Ireland's west coast, the show is about three priests exiled on the island for various past incidents. Our label comes from an episode called ‘A Song for Europe’ that featured ‘My lovely Horse’"

This mini bottle from That Boutique-y Whisky Company was featured on Day 19 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
This is the 6th Batch of Aberlour was bottled released by That Boutique-y Whisky Company in 2018. It was bottled at 9 years old and at 49.7%. 3080 of the company's standard 500ml bottles were made in total. Though you cannot tell by the colour of the whisky alone, this bottling of Aberlour sure looks like it could be a lot less sherried than the official releases we see from the distillery.... Interesting.
About The Label
"The label on our Aberlour bottling features the Mash Tun whisky bar in Aberlour - though who’s that nervous fellow peeking out of the window?"

This mini / 50ml bottle of Macduff from That Boutique-y Whisky Company was featured on Day 23 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
Sadly, we have no larger-sized bottles of this decadent Macduff to sell. 50.2%
Label Notes from TBWC
"The Macduff distillery was founded in the 1960s and is kitted out with five stills, four of which have lyne arms that are rather oddly arranged, with one of the wash stills’ lyne arms being U-shaped too, just so they’ll all fit in the still room! They don’t release whisky themselves under their own name - they release it under the name The Deveron. This is why the name Macduff might be more familiar to you from Shakespeare’s play, ‘Macbeth’. We’ve even put one of the deleted scenes from the play on the label of our Macduff bottling. Press the stopper down to hear the director’s commentary from Shakespeare himself (probably a lie)."
