Palate: Smooth with luscious honey and biscuits, then lingering pepper and cereal notes.
Finish: A perfectly balanced and seductive dram.
Producer Description
"Stronachie, one of the legendary names in the archive of vanished distilleries, lives on with this Highland Single Malt. Decades after the Stronachie Distillery closed, we acquired a bottle of original 1904 Stronachie at an auction… one of only four bottles left in existence. A small sample of whisky was drawn from this bottle, tasted and compared to samples from other Highland malt whiskies. We revived the delicate style, character and flavour of Stronachie by using spirit from Benrinnes Distillery. Like the original, Benrinnes is located in a remote, high altitude wilderness. The new make spirit is matured in ex-bourbon or sherry casks before bottling in small batches as 10 year old Stronachie Single Malt."

$129.59
Family owned, and established in 1948 Douglas Laing is one of the old school independent bottlers. They don't live hand to mouth like some of their newer rivals, but like two of their even older competitors Gordon & MacPhail and Cadenhead they sit on their stocks until they are ready to bottle.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 15 Year
$121.94
I've had to eat my now famous words--"The last thing I need is another bottling of Bowmore!"--once again. This whisky, the product of a single Sherry Butt, aged 15 years and bottled at cask strength is an exceptional example of what Bowmore distillery is capable of doing. Nose: sweet, rich & bbq'd. Palate: very sweet, desert-like, treacle & earthy! Finish: long, lingering and silky smooth!
