Kilchoman Fino Sherry Matured
$129.99
Limit 1 per customer!
This new limited edition release was fully matured in Fino Shery casks. Bottled at 46% without colouring or chill-filtering.
Producer Description
"The Fino Sherry Matured is a limited edition and our first global release of this cask type. The whisky has spent its full maturation in fino casks previously used by Bodega Miguel Martin in Spain, 11 fresh butts and 1 refill butt. Fino differs from this by being a drier, more saline type of sherry which gives Kilchoman whisky layers of fragrant green apple, balancing beautifully with the citrus sweetness, cooked fruits and maritime peat smoke of our spirit. This release follows on from other limited-edition expressions using experimental cask maturations from Kilchoman, full term maturations in port, madeira, sauternes, red wine and STR cask types, amongst others."
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: fresh and floral with plenty of coastal influence. Seaside freshness gives way to tropical fruit, light citrus and malty sweetness.
Palate: juicy tropical fruit and heavy earthy peat smoke combine with chilli heat, lemon zest and a creamy, malty sweetness.
Finish: long and bold with heavy peat smoke, cashews and almonds with the dry saline influence of the fino coming forward.

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: Manuka honey, marcona almonds and linseed oil; very furity, floral, and a touch waxy; lemon and lime on the citrus side, along with melons, peaches and dried apricots; geraniums, sage and heather with peppery wood spices; delicate, bright and welcoming.
Palate: soft, silky and floral with bright-sweet-fruits; loads of citrus: lemon, lime and even orange; more melons and stone fruits; Manuka honey, bees wax and Marcona almonds; more flowers, herbs and spices: geraniums, sage and peppery oak spices.
Finish: fresh, fruity, waxy and floral; light but long with fading citrus, honey, geraniums and a touch of cool mint.
Comment: one of the most floral malts I've had in a while; it is bright, fruity, waxy and very enticing; it was a highlight for me in our recent Signatory tasting; a shame we have just 10 bottles left!

Glenfarclas 25 Year KWM Ferg GG Homage
$274.99
This whisky has a story, so I hope you don't mind a bit of a windup. This is our 6th exclusive bottling of Glenfarclas, and the 3rd in what has become known as the “Ferg Series.” The Ferg Series stated with the Glenfarclas 21 Year KWM Cask Strength aka “Ferg in the Spey”, which was itself inspired by a bottling called Ferd in the Spey.
We followed that up earlier this year with the Glenfarclas 15 Yea KWM Cask Strength #2 “Ferg in Front of the Store.” This bottling tied in to the “Ferg in the Spey” with some inspiration from the bottling for a shop called Robbie’s Drams, which featured the front of their business.
Continuing in this vein I wanted the third bottling to be even more whimsical or if you prefer, ridiculous, than the first two. It takes its inspiration from an advertisement for Glenfarclas circa 10 years ago featuring a reclining George Grant in kilt with a selection of whisky in front of him. This has long been one of my favourite images of anything to do with whisky. So…
So it is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the third KWM exclusive bottling of Glenfarclas in the ‘Ferg Series,’ “Ferg in Homage to George Grant!” I’ve taken George’s place and in front of me are the five previous KWM exclusive Glenfarclas bottlings: the 1997 Family Cask, the 25th Anniversary 25 Year Cask Strength, the first 15 Year Cask Strength, the 21 Year Cask Strength “Ferg in the Spey” and the 15 Year KWM Cask Strength #2 “Ferg in Front of the Store.”
The whisky is not a single cask, nor is it cask strength, but rather it is a bottling of Glenfarclas 25 Year at 50%, rather than the usual 43%. It is exclusive to KWM, and there are just 300 bottles.
