Macallan 50 Year Lalique Crystal
$5,399.99
SOLD OUT. This limited bottling is no longer available. It is not likely to return.
For over 100 years Lalique has been the world's foremost maker of premium crystal wares, while Macallan has been making some of the finest whisky in the world for nearly 200 years. In 2006 Macallan partnered with Lalique to create this special vessel for its 50 year old single malt. Nose: cumin and maraschino. Palate: dark prunes and chocolate. Finish: exceptionally long sherry & peat smoke notes.
This is one of the most unique bottles of whisky ever released. The Lalique crystal decanter was inspired by the Sherry casks in which its whisky rested 50 long years.
Benriach Curiositas 10 Yr Old
$49.49
Benriach est. 1897 was long referred to as Longmorn no.2; hidden in the shadow of its sister distillery. For 65yrs beginning in 1903 the distillery produced no whisky but was kept open to malt barley for Longmorn. This Benriach is of the heavily peated variety 1st distilled in 1983. Nose: heavy smoke, citrus & malt. Palate: sweet w/ chewy malt & heavy spices. Finish: long w/ vanilla, cocoa & peat.
Glenfarclas 30 Year
$499.49
Industry insiders have ranked Glenfarclas "Distiller of the Year 2006" in recognition of its consistent quality. Since it was purchased by the Grant's in 1865, Scotland's second oldest family owned distillery has stuck to their guns. 95% of their whisky is sold as single malt (very little through independents), no finishes are produced, and regardless of the cost Glenfarclas focuses on European oak! The Glenfarclas 30Yr is the oldest product in their line with the exception of a number of bottles from their family cask series and the 40 year old they released a couple of years back. Only 60 bottles in Alberta!
Gordon & MacPhail Glen Grant 1956
$355.49
From Scotland's oldest independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail comes this 1956 vintage whisky. The whisky selected is from the Glen Grant distillery, one of only two distilleries in the whole country named after a person; the other being Old Pultney. Nose: sherry & oak notes dominate. Palate: dark chocolate, candied fruits, & Christmas cake. Body: med-full. Finish: long, elegant & mouthwatering.
Gordon & MacPhail Glen Albyn
$215.99
Depending on where you draw the boundaries of Speyside, Glen Albyn is either just inside, or just outside of it. To be frank I don't think it really matters what region its from so long as its good whisky. Nose: gently peated, with hints of toffee, coffee, & leather. Palate: initially the smoke & peat rule, but the latter fades, & orchard fruits take over. Body: Med. Finish: long, complex & bold.

Stronachie 10 Year

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Soft honey, earthy heather and malty sweetness.
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."
