Whisky Sponge Gone Grant 31 Year Ed. No.
$774.99
Decadent drinks can't tell you that this is from the closed Caperdonich distillery, but we are under no such restrictions. 'Gone Grant' is a rather clever name for a distillery once call Glen Grant #2. Distilled in 1993, the whisky matured 31 years in a 2nd Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel before bottling at 43.9%. 90pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"Whisky Sponge Edition No.89 is from a closed Speyside distillery that sounds like ‘Cap her sporran itch’. It is a single 2nd fill barrel, distilled and filled in 1993, matured full term for 31 years and then bottled at natural cask strength.
It tastes like delicious, easy drinking, full-bodied, old style Speyside malt whisky. And if that sounds like your sort of gig, they you had jolly well better buy a bottle or two of this whisky, goddammit!"
Bruichladdich 30 Year
$2,599.99
This 30 year old Bruichladdich was produced from spirit laid down in 1989, 1990, and 1991, all of which was filled into Refill Hogshead casks. Half of the whisky was reracked into fresh Bourbon casks roughly 10 years ago. The two components were married for 3 months in Refill ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 43%.
Producer Description
"The Bruichladdich Thirty has spent the entirety of its maturation life in handpicked, exceptionally rare ex-Bourbon casks. A limited and refined single malt Scotch whisky, The Bruichladdich Thirty is bottled at 43% bringing the sweetness of toasted oak, honey and soft vanilla to the fore. Delicate yet complex, a hint of dark chocolate complements the spirit’s elegant floral profile while the gentle influence of sea air lingers – a subtle nod to the whisky’s all Islay maturation."
Islay Sponge Part 4 Port Charlotte 20 Ye
$654.99
The 4th Release of Islay Sponge is a 2004 vintage, 20 year, Port Charlotte, bottled a 56.5% after maturing in a Refill Hogshead. 90.16pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"Another fantastic example of Port Charlotte from one of those early production vintages where they were essentially cos-distilling Brora. Made all the more exciting in this instace by the fact that it has matured in a refill hogshead, meaning all the more extra juicy, farmy, peaty, distilliatey goodness! This is Islay Sponge Part IV. It’s a 2003, 20 year old Port Charlotte which has matured full term in a trusty refill hogshead which we have bottled at natural cask strength.
Back in 2003 they were essentially distilling a kind of covert Brora at Bruichladdich, thankfully all that farmyard funk and dense Islay goodness has been put front and centre in this lovely cask. As such, we thought it would be a very fitting latest entry in our ongoing effort to bottle an example of each Islay distillery. As you enjoy it, please imagine you are standing on a lighthouse being gently seduced by an appropriately slimy Levithan tentacle."
