Cragganmore Flavour Lead 55.7%
$1,199.99
Part of the 2016 Diageo Special Releases, this Cragganmore has been bottled at 55.7% after maturing in Refilled, Rejuvenated and Ex-bodega Sherry Casks. No vbintage or age statement. 90pts Whisky Fun! We decided to take a stab at this one, after a careful read of the Whisky Fun tasting notes, and especially when the wholesale price was discounted. Don't be surprised if we crack a bottle for a tasting!
Whisky Fun Tasting Note
"This year the NAS is not the Cynelish, it’s the Cragganmore. Not too sure about the rationale behind that. Maybe is it super-old and the distillers do not want us to have any preconceptions? Or maybe was the stencilling accidentally erased before they started to use barcodes on the casks? Or barcodes stripped away? Or is it just about blenders’ creativity indeed? About breaking them free from their shackles? Colour: gold. Nose: so very close! This is the 1999 at a higher strength, more or less. Same fat orchardy style, same herbal hints… I’m really all for this. With water: indeed, we’re extremely close. This one may have a wee tad more earthy earth. Perhaps cedar wood? Mouth (neat): totally excellent, and rather different this time. The fatness is there again, and so is the honey, but it’s also got rooty notes, between some kind of beetroot and sweet liquorice. Extremely creamy mouth feel. With water: maple syrup all over the place, plus a slice of pineapple and more honey. The earthy/rooty side is never far away. Finish: quite long, with a little more oranges, and plenty of fruit syrups. Perfect oaky balance. Comments: something extra. Really high-class, I’m starting to wonder if that’s not a cunning plan, bottling some perfect 25yo malt whisky, wiping away the age statement, and using these as proof of the excellence of NAS whisky in general. Come on, I’m joking! SGP:551 - 90 points."

We are really excited about these wines, because one of the "Three Sisters", Rebecca Mikulic (nee Lawrence) used to work here at KWM. That and the wines are also delicious!

This Cabernet Franc was macerated and fermented in small lightly pressed lots and aged 18 months in new and neutral American & French oak.

Dageraad Marlowe Belgian Session Stout
$5.49
Brewers notes:
Named after brewer Mitch’s 22-pound cat, Marlowe looks like a big, mean beer, but really, it’s a cuddly little pussy cat. A roasty, coffee-like aroma is supported by the Belgian yeasts’ red berry esters, and gives way to a surprisingly light, crisp finish.
