Equinox & Solstice Caol Ila 11 Year
$234.99
This 2013 Caol Ila was bottled at 48.5% after 11 years in a Second Fill European Oak Oloroso Sherry Hogshead.
Producer Description
"This year’s Autumn Edition of Equinox & Solstice is a single, second fill European oak Oloroso sherry hogshead of 2013 Caol lla, bottled at 11 years of age and reduced to this series’ trademark easy drinking strength of 48.5%.
"We think Autumn is a time when whiskies start to need to be a bit punchier and more powerful. Warming drams that work outdoors or indoors, but which are always sociable and easy to share. This Caol Ila was a perfect example of that style. Gently sherried, robustly peaty, drying, clean and superbly fresh and invigorating. It’s hipflask ready and perfect for Autumn."
Decadent Drams Glen Garioch 21 Year

Producer Description
"Here is a single, 1st fill hogshead of 2003, 21 year old Glen Garioch Highland Single Malt which we’ve bottled at natural cask strength. It’s a luscious, tropically fruity and waxy example that seems to muddled together old school and modern profiles simultaneously. Like a liquid manifestation of cognitive dissonance!"

Luis Gutiérrez - Wine Advocate - 97+ Points Drink between 2024 - 2040 The expressive, complex and nuanced 2016 Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a textbook traditional Rioja in the making. 2016 was a very elegant year, with aging potential, volume and very good acidity and freshness. It's full-bodied but fine-boned, has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.25 grams per liter acidity. It has terrific balance, with all the components in the right proportion to age superbly in bottle. They have also been working on the selection of wood used. This wine matured in French and American oak barrels for three years, and the oak is super integrated. 127,808 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020. It was an exceptional year with volume and quality.
