Tomintoul 16 Year
$136.99
This Tomintoul 16 Year Old was featured on Day 2 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar.
Tomintoul is one of the many Scottish distilleries that used to tack on the name Glenlivet to its distillery name as a sign of quality. Fittingly it is only a few miles from the fabled Glen. Its 16 year is a soft, easy-going and pleasant expression that was matured in American Oak casks.
La Spinetta Vermentino
$33.99
Deliciously complex with aromas of pine and seagrass. This is a perfect example of what Vermentino should be: brimming with fruit and floral notes and the highlight of mineral elements on the finish. Medium-bodied taste of fresh peach and lime. The crisp acidity and long finish help show this wine's true Tuscan heritage. Pairings: poultry, fish (yum) and appetizers.
Weihenstephaner Dunkel
$5.69
Supple, malty and mellow. Its harmonious flavour is the great strength of this dark wheat beer. A good accompaniment to hearty German style meals. Founded nearly 1000 years ago as a Benedictine monastery brewery, then becoming the Royal Bavarian State Brewery. The world's oldest existing brewery, it is located in Freising. A unique combination of tradition, custom, and modern science, gives the brewery its incomparable identity and permits it to brew beers of the highest quality. Class, not mass, a description of their corporate philosophy.
Dieu Du Ciel Herbe a Detourne 4 pk
$18.49
This Dieu de Ciel seasonal edition is a Abbey style tripel, hopped with Citra hops. It is orange-golden coloured, with an aromas of hops and tropical fruits. It has a pronounced citrus bitterness with a moderate sweetness and slight alcoholic warming.
Johnnie Walker Double Black
$82.99
Globally launched in 2010 - the Double Black takes the concept of the original Johnnie Walker Black Label and amps up the smoke and richness. 40% ABV. On top of using a larger amount of younger whisky in the blend to give a more full and concentrated profile, the Caol Ila portion of the mix is apparently bumped up to a slightly larger percentage than what is in the regular Black Label. More heavily charred casks are also used to provide this bolder flavour profile.

$92.99
This bottle was featured on Day 23 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar

Machir Bay was the first edition of the Kilchoman core range, and it remains a staple. Matured in First Fill Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, the whisky has been getting older as the distillery's inventory matures. Bottled at 46% without colouring or chill filtering.
Clynelish Distillers Edition
$104.99
Only 60 bottles have come into Alberta and KWM has snagged 30 of them! This Oloroso Seco finished Clynelish has been bottled at 46%. My tasting note: "Nose: Orange notes, orange citrus, candied orange and dried orange peel; the waxy honeyed notes Clynelish is famous for come out with patience and some ginge spice; Palate: creamy and spicy with more candied orange, orange peel, dried ginger and thick-waxy-creamy-unpasteurized honey; the spices take over on the second sip with some dried fruits; Finish: coating, waxy and spicy fruits!"
Tomintoul 12 Year Port Wood
$80.99
My Tasting Note: Nose: mulled wine, wet leather, dark chocolate shavings and cooked raisins; floral heather-honey-and undertones of American oak can be found below the port notes; Palate: very earthy-musty, like a Dunnage floor warehouse; medium dark chocolate notes are present but a little thin; faint tannins, shoe leather, candied fruits and more mulled wine emerge in this relatively dark palate; Finish: drying with a little bit of spice, the chocolate, fruits and everything but the leathery tannins and oak have faded away.
Villa Matilde Aglianico
$32.99
Villa Matilde founder Francesco Paolo Avallone set out to bring this ancient vineyard back to life, spending a decade rejuvenating and re-discovering the land's grapes. Some have called his quest "vineyard archeology!" )Made from 100% Aglianico, this well-priced red shows a brilliant red with purple reflections. On the nose, you'll find notes of spice, blackberries and ripe, red fruit. The palate is full, velvety and well-balanced.
