Old Malt Cask Springbank 15 Year
$184.99
We are not sure where this came from, it was bottled more than 10 years ago... A single cask of Springbank, distilled in 1993 and bottled at 50% after maturing in a Refill Hogshead DL: Ref: 4704. Only 12 bottles coming to KWM! The nose on this is spectacular, and the palate no slouch!
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: waxy, buttery and doughy; bread and butter pudding, beeswax and dulce de leche; orange and green mango; papaya, guava and agave syrup.
Palate: still doughy, silky and buttery with a waxy, oily, coating body; soft peat smoke, delicately polished oak and savroury subtly salted caramel; underneath some sharper smoke notes but also citrus and light tropical fruits; more dulce de leche and bread and butter pudding.
Finish: light but coating, the smoke firms up with a hint of salt; creamy with fading sweet fruits.
Comment: this is somewhat naked Springbank, delicately matured in Re-fill oak; and I think a good example of how some whiskies improve in bottle; it has oxidized beautifully; just be careful with the cork...
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: pine sawdust with salty freshness and freshly varnished boats.
Palate: carries sweet wood quality with spiced orange and cloves.
Finish: long and still sweet with wood tanginess lingering.

Old & Rare Caol Ila 30 Year
$749.99
Another dusty discovery, 30 year old single cask Caol Ila distilled in 1983 and bottled in 2014. Matured in a Refill Hogshead and bottled at 53.2%.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: Russian caramel and tarry peat meat the nose at first, followed by butterscotch pudding and tres leches; it is a tad smoky with seared scallops and white chocolate truffles; waxy with fried kale.
Palate: thick, sweet and oily; more Russian caramel and tarry peat oils fade into soft citrus fruits, a touch of perfume and firm smoke; like the nose the palate is decadent with more tres leches and white chocolate but also soft citrus, melons and mango; salty throughout, there are also some dark spices.
Finish: long, coating and drying whilst also sweet, fruity and smoky; elegant.
Comment: this is a refined older Caol Ila; Caol Ila is a whisky best enjoyed old or young, but not in between; the younger whiskies are firm, bold and smoky, the older ones elegant, delicate and refined; this one is a fine example of the latter!
Producer's Tasting Note
Nose: A rich vanilla nose appearing at the start, followed by stewed rhubarb and custard before peat and seaweed come gently through at the end.
Palate: Initially there is sweet vanilla, but peaty seaweed character dominates quickly leaving a long, lingering and dry finish of oak and peat smoke.
