Rest & Be Thankful Bruichladdich 2002
$215.00
Under the watchful eye of the previous owners, Bruichladdich put a lot of spirit into very interesting (and ridiculously high end) wine casks. It only makes sense that we're starting to see a we smattering of these 'way out there' single casks hitting the market. But where once the shelves sagged under the weight of Bruichladdich one-and-dones, now we have to wait patiently for bottlers like R&BT to give us a peek at unique single cask Laddies. Great age and great drinking strength on this ex-wine cask matured Islay malt.

Kilchoman Casado
$144.99
Kilchoman matured in Portuguese Red Wine Vats. Bottled at 46%
Glen Scotia Victoriana
$134.99
Produced from what the distiller feels are the hand-selected best casks in the warehouse. Bottled at 51.5% and non-chill-filtered the Victoriana is currently the top of the line in the Glen Scotia range, it has a prominent smokiness. Finished in deeply charred oak and possibly some Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks.
Cadenhead Original Ardmore 11 Year
$81.19
70% Marsala, 30% Bourbon casking here. Should be a pretty comfy fit for this smoky Highland malt.
Producer Note: "Smoky, as anyone familiar with Ardmore would expect, is supplemented by a saltiness and some fruity notes (jack fruit, orange skin). The taste and finish are juicy and overall this dram is an excellent example of a whisky matured in ex-Marsala casks."
Natural colour, non-chill-filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
Whisky Sponge Saillt Mor 2014 Ed.73A
$264.99
Producer Note: "We are always on the lookout for new and interesting single malts. This whisky from German distiller Ralf Hauer really impressed us with its power, purity and vivid peat flavours. German whisky with a decidedly Scottish accent. This was distilled in 2014 and filled into 1st fill bourbon barrels where it was matured for 8 years in Germany before transferring to the UK for bottling. We bottled this with a few degrees reduction to 57.1% to help the distillate character shine loud and clear. Edition 73A was distilled using peated malt and presents a beautifully rugged and pure take on peat flavour, with breads, spices and smoky / salty notes in abundance."
230 Bottles. Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 57.1% abv.
Whisky Sponge Saillt Mor 2014 Ed.73B
$264.99
Producer Note: "We are always on the lookout for new and interesting single malts. This whisky from German distiller Ralf Hauer really impressed us with its power, purity and vivid peat flavours. German whisky with a decidedly Scottish accent. This was distilled in 2014 and filled into 1st fill bourbon barrels where it was matured for 8 years in Germany before transferring to the UK for bottling. We bottled this with a few degrees reduction to 57.1% to help the distillate character shine loud and clear. Edition 73B was made using beechwood smoked German malt. It shows off a deeply herbal and medicinal style of smokiness with plenty of power and complexity as well."
Whisky Sponge Inchgower 2001 Ed.71
$329.99
Matured in a Refill Hogshead, filled in 2001, this 21 year old Inchgower has been bottled at 48.9%.
Producer Note
"A charming, sophisticated and deeply philosophical single cask of 2001 Inchgower. Aged for 21 years in a single refill hogshead before bottling at natural cask strength. This is a lovely dram which displays many of the gently old school, distillate-forward attributes which are often overlooked about Inchgower as a whisky. Expect soft waxes, green and yellow fruity flavours and an all round, general thought-provoking nature which will motivate you to ponder some of the deepest and most ancient questions of sentient humankind. Such as: why do I care so much about scores? Who keeps outbidding me at auction? Why am I not happy despite being financially comfortable enough to enjoy malt whisky as a hobby? And, what would it be like to taste whisky on Pluto? Purchasing and consuming one of these bottles will bring you the answer to all these questions, along with unquantifiable satisfaction and a general sense of cosmic serenity - like a nice, comfy sock floating in deep space..."
