Glenfarclas 21 Year KWM Cask Strength #2
$199.99
The 4th and possibly final bottling in the "Andrew's Ego Collection" series is a Glenfarclas 21 Year, bottled at 51.9%, bottled exclusively for Kensington Wine Market. This bottling celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the night in 2011 our own Andrew Ferguson, and Glenfarclas' George Grant, were inducted into the Keepers of the Quaich; hence the nickname: "10 Years Keeping Quaich-y with it!" We had originally hoped this bottling would arrive in 2021... but you know the story... logistics! Once more this is not a single cask, but a batch of Glenfarclas 21 Year, bottled at cask strength!
If you are unfamiliar with the story behind the Andrew's Ego Collection, it all started with a cask strength Glenfarclas 21 Year we called Ferg in the Spey! Long story short, it is a play on a bottling Glenfarclas did for an American called "Ferd (Ford) in the Spey," which was bottled to commemorate a visit to Glenfarclas that ended with a Ford rental car in the Spey River. It was intended to be a one-off, but was so popular that it was followed with a cask strength Glenfarclas 15 Year, which we called Ferg in Front of the Store. Now we were starting to have some fun with it...
So a third bottling was commissioned, a 25 Year bottled at 50%, the Ferg in Homage to George Grant. Andrew 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 15 years ago featuring a reclining George Grant in a kilt with a selection of whisky in front of him. Our versions features Andrew in homage, with the 5 prior KWM exclusive Glenfarclas bottlings laid out in front of him. Some of our customers referred to it as "Reclining Ferg" and "Homage to Burt Reynolds."
While Andrew's ego would continue to inflate with a 5th release, the 4th bottling may very well be the last in the series. It almost never happened... Demand is finally catching up with Glenfarclas, and all of the whiskies over 21 years of age are going to be tightly allocated in the years ahead.
Glenfarclas Family Cask 1979 S22
$2,089.99
Like the 1978, this Glenfarclas 1979 Family Cask 1979 Summer 2022 (S22) bottling is from a 4th Fill Hogshead, but don't get hung up on that. These refill 40+ year old Glenfarclas are gorgeous... bottled at 41.5%, we expect this one will be going tropical!
Glenfarclas 15 Year KWM Door Crasher
$119.99
Our 9th KWM exclusive bottling from Glenfarclas is a bottling of Glenfarclas 15 Year, at 56%. That abv is not cask strength, and nor is it random. As this is our first-ever door crasher bottling, we chose to bottle it at 56%, because the breaking occurred at 4:56 AM. There are also just 456 bottles... coincidence? Actually yes, that last one was a coincidence, we asked for roughly 450 bottles, and there are about 456!
Islay Sponge Part 5 Bowmore 20 Year
$624.99
This 2004 vintage, 20 year old Bowmore, was bottled by Decadent Drinks under the Islay Sponge label at 54.9%, after maturing in a Refill Hogshead. 90.76pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is Islay Sponge Part V. It’s a 2004, 20 year old Bowmore, it matured full term in a refill hogshead and we bottled it at natural cask strength. This is a very fruity and saucy Bowmore that will go to your head and cause dopamine spillages if you aren’t careful. Please do not bust out any heavy dance moves or attempt to operate a stylish modern record player while enjoying this outrageously tasty whisky.
"No one knows why Bowmore from these early 2000s vintages seem to possess the fruity spirit of the 1960s, but we cannot complain. And nor should you!
"Now, please buy one of these bottles and sip it reverentially while re-enacting key scenes from the original Planet Of The Apes using only old tweed bed sheets and half coconuts for wardrobe."

Waterford Biodynamic Luna 1.1
$57.50
This 3 year old Waterford Single Malt is billed as the world's first Biodynamic whisky. The barley was grown on a number of farms and the spirit was matured in a mix of First Fill Ex-Bourbon, Virgin American Oak, Bordeaux, and Vin Doux Naturel casks.
From the Producer
"Eccentric to some, regenerative to others, biodynamic agriculture goes beyond the ordinary ecological mindset. Drawing upon ancient lore of lunar cycles & exotic preparations, it seeks to charge soils with vitality & barley with vibrancy. Practised by the most visionary & curious, we too are intrigued about the most natural flavours we can capture in spirit. For this landmark whisky, distilled from Ireland’s only biodynamic barley, we invoke the goddess of the moon for our most esoteric & evocative bottling."
