Boutique-y 21 Year Irish Whiskey
$184.99
This 21 year old Irish Whiskey from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is part of their core range. Although some sources indicate it is a Blended Irish Whiskey, the image on the label is a Connemara Pony... so could this be from Cooley Distillery?! Bottled at 45.8% from Bourbon & Sherry Casks.
Producer Description
"Galloping toward your gullet, here comes our lovely horse (It’s a Connemara Pony).
"This is an extraordinary Irish Whiskey, aged to perfection over 21 years in a delightful marriage of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. It delivers an elegant symphony of honeyed malt, dried fruits, and toasted oak, with undertones of dark chocolate, fig, and baking spices. A small batch release of circa 1,000 litres each time. Non chill-filtered, and natural cask matured colour."
Boutique-y Caol Ila 13 Year
$129.99
This 13 year old Caol Ila is from a single ex-rye barrel, bottled at 45.8%.
About the Label
"The view from the Caol Ila still house across to the Paps of Jura is perhaps one of the greatest in Scotland. However we’ve decided to focus in on our ‘Prince Vultan’ from a certain epic 1980s movie, charging across the water for our new label. We can guarantee that Jura's famed deer population are still behind, in tow!"
Boutique-y Glen Garioch 27 Year
$399.99
This 27 year old Glen Garioch was matured in a sherry butt, originally filled in 1998. Bottled at 45.8%.
About the Label
"Our original label references the greenhouses once warmed by waste heat from the distillery's stills way back in 1977. It also features Cocktail wizard Ryan Chetiyawardana who has time-travelled his way there to pick up some tomatoes... Magic! Speaking of magic, Em has taken a rabbit hiding that appeared on one of our later labels and given it pride of place on this 70cl version of the legendary distillery. More carrots please!"
Boutique-y Dumbarton 33 Year
$239.99
This 33 year old single grain from the closed Dumbarton distillery, bottled from a Refill Hogshead orginally filled in 1992 at 45.8%.
About the Label
"It’s another of our shockingly bad puns and plays on the extreme heaviness of the grains!
There’s a series of strong cliches carrying and moving cartoonishly heavy bags of grain (two circus strong-men, a crane being used to lift a single bag, and an ornate Rajasthani elephant). Hey, that elephant would look cool front & centre on the label, dontcha think, Em?"
Boutique-y Bushmills 22 Year
$499.99
This 22 year old Bushmills single malt was finished in an ex-Maury Wine Cask, before bottling at 45.8%.
About the Label
"The inspiration for our original 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. It came straight from an episode called ‘A Song for Europe’ that featured ‘My lovely Horse’. We didn’t want to change the label too much. That “My Lovely Horse” one is just bloody classic. Nice one, Emily!"
Boutique-y Glen Elgin 9 Year
$87.99
This 9 year old Glen Elgin was finished in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask before bottling at 45.8%.
About the Label
"This distillery’s original TBWC label depicts Lord Elgin, dressed in a red coat, carrying a sword and leading a large, beautiful white horse by the reins over the side of a typical Scottish Glen. The horse has saddlebags either side of it – one side has a slab of the Elgin Marbles Freize in and the other side has a pouch of normal ‘marbles’, of which a few are falling out as they walk along. Em’s reworking of the label keeps the Lord, and the themes, at the fore."
Boutique-y Rum Signature Blend
$37.99
Bottled at 42% this no age statement blended rum is composed of Martinican Rum, unaged Jamaican Rum and 4 year old Jamaican Rum.
Producer Description
"A predominantly unaged blend of funky rums from Jamaica and fresh, fruity Rhums from Martinique. The blend includes an aged marque from Jamaica, which lends body. This blend is vibrant, bright and characterful, with clear grassy notes from the unaged Martinique rum, and characteristic funk and body from the Jamaican component. No age statement."
About The Label
"Created by Jim’ll Paint It, the label represents the blending of two different styles of rum to become greater than the sum of their parts. Two liquids pour in from the top and spread out into a zig zag pattern incorporating a wider range of colours. The white snake represents Martinique, taken from the flag. The Lignum Vitae represents Jamaica, as it is the country’s national flower."
Boutique-y Helsinki Rye Bt. 2 6 Year
$111.99
The second batch of Helsinki Distilling Rye bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company was made from a mash of 70% Rye and 30% malt, and matured 6 years in virgin American oak before bottling at 58.9%.
Producer Description
"Our second batch from Finland’s Helsinki distillery is a 6 Year Old rye whisky, from 70% malted rye, and 30% malted barley mashbill. It’s been matured for full term in a new, charred, (char level 3) American oak cask. Low year round temperatures in Helsinki year round leads to a slower interaction with wood. This presents a preferable situation for maturation in powerful, first fill casks."
About the Label
"Our label shows the distillery in one of its former guises; a car wash. The Monopoly cars are a reference to the strict Finnish alcohol monopoly ‘Alko’."
Boutique-y 10th Annv Calvados 21 Year
$459.99
A very rare and usual Calvados bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Co. for their 10th Birthday. 21 years old and 41.5%.
Producer Description
"We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to That Boutique-y Brandy/Calvados Company with this 21 Year Old Calvados. This is a particularly intriguing Calvados from Christian Drouin. The story for this one begins at the very end of the year 2000, when the spirit was distilled. Distilled under Appellation Calvados Pays D’Auge Contrôlée, meaning the ciders may contain a maximum of 30% perry pears, and pot still distillation is mandatory. A sherry cask full of the spirit was sent over to Bristol for maturation (similar to how some Cognac is "early landed"). This is a real treat for any Calvados aficionado, one of only eight ‘'early landed' casks ever to be produced. Since that time, laws have changed meaning Calvados can no longer be aged outside of Normandy - so this sort of thing will not happen again, making these bottles extremely rare!"
About the Label
"Our label, designed in-house, designer Toby Dowling has a number of stories tied up in it, as you’d expect. The Lionheart is a reference to Coeur de Lion. The distillery has the trademark for spirits, but a little while back, that budget Camembert brand issued them a cease and desist so they don't use it any more. The route is the route the cask took, Ms Sherry Wood is obvious, and, the stamp shows the cows grazing beneath the high-trunk apple trees they have."
