Boutique-y Eddu Bt. 1 14 Year
$201.99
Not legally whisky, owing to the fact it was made with buckwheat, even though it matured 14 years in French Limousin oak. This is the first ever batch of Eddu from That Boutique-y Whisky Co., bottled at 47.9%.
Producer Description
"The distillery blazed a new trail in the whisky world in 2002, by creating the first ever pure buckwheat whisky in the world. “Eddu” means “buckwheat” in the Breton Language. Our ‘Eddu’ has been matured for 14 years, in French Limousin Oak. Buckwheat, a staple of Japanese and European cooking since ancient times, lends the spirit a distinctly earthy body. It's a huge commitment, as buckwheat is four times the price of corn, takes three times as long to mill and is heavy to mash."
About the Label
"Another brand new label for this first ever batch of ‘Eddu’ from French Distillery Menhirs. This small family distillery has roots stretching back to 1921 when the Le Lay family bought a second-hand pot still for distilling cider and extracting brandy commonly known as Lambig."
Boutique-y Fary Lochan Bt. 1 6 Year
$167.99
Batch 1 of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Fary Lochan is a 6 year old bottled at 60.2%.
Producer Description
"Yet another new label for our first ever back from Denmark’s Fary Lochan distillery. It’s a small family distillery, now run by three siblings, and their mother. The distillery is named after the lake on the plot and an ancient spelling of the town, Farre, it’s located in. Founder Jens-Erik Jorgensen, who sadly died in 2016, found inspiration from memories of smoked cheese from his mother used to smoke over fresh nettles. Jens-Erik made his first tests of smoking his whisky-malt with nettles in 2009."
About The Label
"When we learnt that the distillery was located in the village of Farre (which was previously known as Fary) we had that far far away fairy tail image in our head, and so our label is based up on an old style fairy tale woodland glade and a small glistening lake."

About the Label
"Our label features a scene from a Bavarian beer festival, in October, or Oktoberfest if you will. That’s Slyrs’ head distiller Hans with the whisky glasses, and you might recognise the punter with a bottle of this bottling asking him a question."

Boutique-y Teaninich 10 Year 50ml
$8.00
This is the third batch of Teaninich to be bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. It was matured for 10 years before being bottled at 49.2% ABV.
You can find 500ml bottles of it here
From The Producer
"Built in 1817, Teaninich is a Highland single malt distillery. It’s quite unique-y really, instead of a mash tun, it uses a filter press to extract the sweet sugars from the malt. There is much mystery surrounding the distillery, so we did as all Boutique-y’s do and went to town on the label - see below.
The Label
Based on a true love story from many years ago about Captain Hugh Munro (founder of this distillery). He was shot in the head behind his eyes but, he survived! Unsurprisingly, he lost his eyesight as a result. His sweetheart was forbidden from marrying him due to his condition, so she married someone else. Despite their differing paths, she continued to love him and as her dying wish, visited the church to see him one last time."
