Producer Description

About the Label
"Few distilleries have had such a long and solid relationship with the same blend that Ardmore has with Teachers. The distillery was founded by the Teachers family. Our label teaches (teachers, get it?) you about the parts of a cask. It’s a shockingly ban pun..."
Boutique-y Islay #3 Batch 6 29 Year
$499.99
This 29 year old mystery Islay single malt, believed to be from Laphroaig, was finished in Oloroso Sherry Octaves before bottling at a natural cask strength of 52.1%.
PRoducer Description
"A glorious 29 Year Old unnamed Islay malt that was distilled in 1993 and and some of it has been finished in Oloroso Octaves by ourselves. There’s a long held belief that when an Islay single malt is unnamed, it’s always Caol Ila! This is simply because Caol Ila is the largest distillery on the island…"
About The Label
"Sometimes we are allowed to say what distillery our whiskies come from, often happens when we’ve bought casks directly from the distillery. Sometimes we don’t even know! This occasionally happens when we’ve bought casks through a broker. To be honest, it’s not important to us… Another single malt from an unidentified Islay distillery, but wait a minute… Haven't we seen this label before? It’s the Living Room Whisky chaps on it doing a pose from a movie, and remarkably like our Laphroaig label - a clue perhaps? That’s the Boutique-y of of our labels - we can give the game away without naming the distillery as per the seller's request!"
Boutique-y Ledaig ncs Batch 21 21 Year
$146.99
This 1997 vintage Ledaig (peated Tobermory) has been bottled after 21 years at natural cask strength of 58.2%.
Producer Description
"This 21 Year Old Ledaig from the Isle of Mull’s Tobermory distillery is our twenty-first batch (I love it when this happens), a release of just 450 bottles at Natural Cask Strength 58.2% abv. Distilled in September 1997, and matured in a single Sherry butt until it was bottled."
About the Label
"The spirit of Ledaig has become a sentient planet smasher and is off to eviscerate his rather more well-known peaty competition! He's off to show that the peatiness of Ledaig whisky can put up a fight against the Islay giants. We're expecting a Dragonball Z style battle between Captain Hammer here and Islay's noble protector (Big Peat, perhaps?), with the fate of the island on the line."

Original Tasting Description
"You had us at 31-year-old GlenDronach... We recently received some cool new releases from Iain Croucher at North Star Spirits, and we can't resist the temptation to try them. On the young side of things, there is the new Tarot Blend, a Campbeltown Blended Malt, and only the second-ever bottling from Dalmunach. We love a good Blair Athol, and how often do you see an indie bottle of Dalwhinnie? But the icing on the cake of this tasting will be the GlenDronach 31 Year. You almost never see indie GlenDronach, and this one has some great reviews!"

Original Tasting Description
"We have a crazy lineup of 8 whiskies planned for this tasting, including whiskies from Glen Scotia, Glengyle (Kilkerran) and Springbank... we are trying to cover all of our Campbeltown bases... but that's not as easy as it used to be. The tasting just happens to coincide with the arrival of the Springbank PX in Alberta, which is a really hot potato. Full disclosure, we are only getting 6 bottles, and the only way you'll be able to enter a ballot to purchase a bottle from KWM, is if you take part in this tasting, and space is limited... But this won't be the only whisky we'll be offering for sale by ballot to participants in this tasting, there will be at least 3 others!"
SMOS Marriage Ardmore 25 Year
$305.99
If only there was an official Ardmore 25 year old. In the meantime, as we say, we're grateful for the indie bottlers, who offer a peek behind the curtain every now and then. SMOS has become one of our most trusted bottlers, so we're pretty excited to see this one land. Producer Note: "This is a marriage of whiskies from 1997, matured in just three hogsheads which yielded a total of 772 bottles." 89.55pts Whiskybase
