Whisky Sponge Saillt Mor 2014 Ed.73B
$132.50
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."

Smokehead Terminado Islay Single Malt
$79.49
The latest Smokehead line extension is Terminado, a Tequila cask finished Islay single malt, reputedly from Ardbeg, bottled at 43%.
Producer Description
"Terminado brings together Smokehead Islay single malt with tequila. It’s the meeting of two restless spirits – and the awakening of a mesmerising whisky. There, in this tequila cask finish, fiery peat awakes with wild agave. Smoke mixes with chewy meringue. And citrus spins with sweetness. You ain’t tasted nothing like this before."
Rest & Be Thankful Bruichladdich 2002
$300.99
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.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.2% abv. 87.25pts Whiskybase

From The Producer
"Little Book® Chapter 6, “To The Finish,” is the sixth chapter in the Little Book Whiskey series. “To The Finish” offers a chance for any curious whiskey drinker to expand their palate - both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The name of this year’s chapter offers fans of American whiskey an opportunity to experience liquid that I personally had a hand in creating and showcases the innovation of Little Book chapters over the last six years.
Little Book Chapter 6 is a blend of five different liquid streams using different wood staves and barrel techniques that impart a unique liquid profile due to the secondary aging. This chapter continues to push the boundaries of blending and challenges what some might assume of lower aged whiskies. The way these liquid streams complement each other makes this liquid extremely approachable, even for those who haven’t given cask strength whiskey a try.
The inspiration for Chapter 6 came from combining two of my passions – cooking and whiskey. The way they complement each other and come together is what sparked my curiosity for “To The Finish”. Using the smoke and flavor of hardwoods, I am able to bring together timeless tools from the culinary trade into pioneering my work with American Whiskey. The result is a taste that’s bigger than its individual parts. A flavor made from generations of curing, grilling and distilling.
For the Noe family, the kitchen has always been a home away from the distillery and a way to share family traditions between generations. My granddaddy spent hours in the smokehouse practicing his craft and curing meats. My dad’s passion was reinvigorated once I was old enough to tag along. Dad enjoyed teaching me about this family tradition and working to perfect granddaddy’s sausage recipe – he always thought it needed a bit more sage. My personal passion is around family and cooking, looking into the details of what works and what doesn’t. These traditions around family meals, shared traditions, and my pursuits at the grill inspire my own work in the rackhouse and they’ve been poured into Little Book Chapter 6."
