Glenrothes 1979
$179.99
This distillery, established in 1878, is one of five in the Speyside town of Rothes. Long been prized by blenders (namely Cutty Sark), this quietly noble whisky is now more widely appreciated as a single malt. Interestingly, in 1922, the distillery experienced a disastrous fire in which 2500 casks of spirit were lost. An elegant, dark amber hued malt with notes of dried fruit and toffee.
Bruichladdich 1973
$224.99
The whisky in this rare "Laddie" was specially selected by Master Distiller Jim McEwan to be released as a vintage malt. Limited to 4200 bottles this exceptional selection is caramel free and un-chill filtered. It was matured in a mixture of first fill bourbon casks and refill sherry casks. Nose: sweet fruit and vanilla. Palate: vanilla, stewed fruit and gingerbread. Finish: long and warming.
Springbank 15 Year
$125.99
AVAILABLE BY BALLOT
Springbank 15 Year has long been the distillery's most important core whisky. The sherry notes are the most dominant, though there is plenty of complexity, with enough salt, smoke and toffee to go around. Matured in a mix Sherry & Bourbon casks, and bottled at 46%. It can varry considerably from batch to batch!
Adelphi Lochside 1965
$359.99
Springbank 16 Year Rum Finish
$121.49
Springbank distillery which was founded in Campbeltown in 1828, is Scotland's oldest family owned distillery. For me this whisky is all about toffee. It's like savouring a mouthful of highland toffee while sitting next to a beach fire! This is a creamy, sweet, slightly smoky bottling of Springbank.
Ileach Single Malt
$48.59
Bottled and distributed by the independent Vintage Malt Whisky Company, this islay single malt really packs a punch. Bottled at 40%abv, the peat is what stands out in this big, bold and intense whisky. With only limited oak to offer complexity, this is a big malt with overwhelming intensity. Herbal fruitiness and bitterness, with some pepper. 94 pts Jim Muray "Fabulous stuff, a bottle of which should sit in every household cabinet."
Edradour 10 Year
$95.99
Even with the boom in craft distilleries, Edradour is still amongst the smallest in Scotland. Located in Perthshire in the Southern Highlands, the Edradour is described as a traditional farm distillery on its own website. The Edradour 10-Year-Old is just that - a 10-year-old unpeated Edradour bottled at 40% ABV. This whisky was featured on Day 10 of KWM Whisky Advent, in 2019.
Bruichladdich 10 Year
$53.54
Scotland's most westerly distillery was originally founded in 1881, and recently re-opened its doors much to the delight of Islay whisky aficionados. Using the Touch & Trickle (small batch and slow distillation) method, no artificially imposed colors or flavors,non-chill filtration, and casking at 70%abv (vs the usual 63.5%) are employed. This malt has a briny, citrus character with a little zing

The sherry oak line contains: Cask Strength, 12Yr, 18Yr, 25Yr, 30Yr, 40Yr and 50Yr bottlings.
