Distiller's Art Glenburgie 16 Year
$131.99
A new single cask Glenburgie distilled in 1997 and bottled at 16 years of age from a sherry butt under the Distiller's Art label, a subsidiary of Hunter Laing Whisky. Only a 42 bottles are coming to Alberta, and we are expecting not much more than 12 bottles at KWM.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: waxy and sherried, leather and dried dark fruits; dark bakers chocolate and cloves in honey baked ham.
Palate: big and thick, still waxy, creamy and leathery with loads of dried dark fruit, dark bakers chocolate and cigar tobacco; earthy, dunnage warehouse notes and building spices: more cloves puled from honey baked ham, candied fennel and Dutch licorice.
Finish: very long, coating and leathery; spices, dark fruits and tobacco; leaves the mouth drying and tingling.
Comment: you don't see Glenburgie very often so if you are looking to have at least one on the bar, you'd be hard pressed to do better than this!
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: Sweet citrus peel sultanas’ raisins stewed prunes.
Palate: Sweet mellow soft fruits vanilla butterscotch.
Finish: Long sweet fruity slight peppery edge.

From the Distillery: "Our Master Distiller, James MacTaggart, has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Madeira casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of The Arran Malt. The end result is a Single Malt with a rich brooding character, full of complexity and quality."

Kavalan Solist Vinho
$256.49
We will likely see a small quantity at some point in the New Year (2017), but expect a big price increase!
This cask strength Taiwanese single malt is "World Whisky of the Year!: World Drinks Awards 2015." We've known what a gem this is for years, having sold it exclusively in Calgary. A very limited quantity of the whisky has just come back in stock, and at a much lower price! Matured in American ex-Wine Barriques.
World Whisky Awards Tasting Note: "Lots of stewed fruits on the nose. There’s also aged Bourbon notes. Water brings out custard creams. Surprisingly smooth on the palate. The alcohol is very present. It’s like Bourbon infused milk chocolate. Another nutty, meaty, savoury nose, with sweet notes in the backdrop. Very sweet pruney flavours initially on the palate, with fruit cake and big clove, chilli and dry cinnamon. Walnut and hazelnut on the very dry finish. Immediately and subtly liquor rich. Tiny bit of incense, a thread of spice and smoke. Caramel, marzipan, coffee-vanilla, fudge, rich, creamy, dried black fruits. Integrated and surprisingly light. Element of sandalwood. Starts creamy, waters out, almost disappears before rubbing hot brown sugar into the oesophagus. Tiny bitter trace."
