This robust sixth batch of Teaniich from That Boutique-y Whisky Company weighs in at a respectable 59.1% ABV. It is a from a combination of two refill sherry buts that were finished in an ex-Bourbon Barrel. I am not sure how that math works, but regardless! Only 421 bottles were filled, with a small portion coming to Kensington Wine Market.

Amrut 2013 9 Year KWM Port Pipe 4660
$214.99
Our 3rd KWM exclusive cask of Amrut was selected last fall when our friend Ashok paid us a visit to the store. Distilled in August of 2013, the whisky matured 9 years in an ex-Port Pipe No. 4660, before bottling in December of 2022, after 9 years at 60%.
When Ashok was going through the samples with us, he was astounded to learn that his Amrut would be our 145th KWM exclusive cask bottling... so he put that little tidbit on the label. Shipments from India don't happen overnight however, and in the 10 months since the cask was bottled, we've launched more than 10 other exclusive bottlings... But 10 months is an improvement, the last cask took nearly a year and a half to reach us.
It is worth noting, that at 9 years of age, this is a very mature bottling of Amrut. It is also almost certainly the first KWM-exclusive cask bottling from an ex-Port cask.
One final curiosity is the bottling strength of 60%. This is not cask strength, Amrut waters its bottlings down to 60%, if they are above, to save an enormous amount of Indian excise taxes...
Valinch & Mallet Jamaica 14 Year
$267.99
To Calgarians and Disney movie fans, Jamaica may be most well-known for its bobsled teams coached by John Candy. It might come as a surprise that this island nation in the Caribbean also produces fantastic rum! This bottling is also called Ester's Delight #2 and was produced by a pot still. Bottled at 56.9% ABV.
Producer Tasting Note
"Pot still. A second seahorse blend had to be made, we missed the first one too much! Same 5 distilleries, same high esters nose and sweet palate. We just Love it! Continental ageing. Artwork by bn+ BRINANOVARA"
