Boutique-y Teaninich 10 Year 50ml
$15.99
This is the third batch of Teaninich to be bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. It was matured for 10 years before being bottled at 49.2% ABV.
You can find 500ml bottles of it here
From The Producer
"Built in 1817, Teaninich is a Highland single malt distillery. It’s quite unique-y really, instead of a mash tun, it uses a filter press to extract the sweet sugars from the malt. There is much mystery surrounding the distillery, so we did as all Boutique-y’s do and went to town on the label - see below.
The Label
Based on a true love story from many years ago about Captain Hugh Munro (founder of this distillery). He was shot in the head behind his eyes but, he survived! Unsurprisingly, he lost his eyesight as a result. His sweetheart was forbidden from marrying him due to his condition, so she married someone else. Despite their differing paths, she continued to love him and as her dying wish, visited the church to see him one last time."
Rum Sponge Clarendon 2007 No.13
$149.99
Distilled in 2007, matured for 15 years in a refill barrel, and bottled in 2022. 262 bottles. 57.1%
Producer Note
"This rather delectable 15 year old Clarendon has been bottled with a hefty chunk of reduction to 57.1%. It was originally way up around 68%, which is extremely silly so we decided to carefully improve (or shamelessly ruin, depending on your perspective) it with targeted reduction to our preferred bottling strength of 100 proof. The result is a big, funky, juicy, estery Jamaican rum. Close your face eyes and allow your mind's eye to swim with luscious, exotically fruity goodness..."

Sponge Grand Champagne Cognac 1972
$599.99
Producer Note
"Cognac Sponge Edition No.6 is a Heritage.72 Grande Champagne cognac, one of 180 bottles from a single cask at natural cask strength of 50.2%. If our 1972 Armagnac could be equated to an old Glen Grant, this rather more subtle, fine-boned and complex old Grande Champagne Cognac of similar pedigree could be said to resemble a venerable aged Linkwood or Strathisla. Anyway, all you whisky hoarding grainiacs should stop messing about with whisky (except our bottlings, naturally) and give these Cognacs a spin! Dried fruits, earths, tobacco and rancio with a slender drizzle of honey over the top - there are abundant pleasures to be had with these old spirits."

Durigutti Compuertas Cordisco
$31.99
It all began in 2007 with the first five hectares of an old Malbec vineyard that the brothers acquired a few steps from the winery, on Callejón de la Reta. Since then, a path of recovery and revaluation of the history and traditions of an emblematic wine region of Lujan de Cuyo begins: Las Compuertas. Over the years, more hectares were added to the project, today 31, and they baptized this place with the name of their mother, as Finca Victoria. This work seeks to accompany the development of producers in the area who maintain their vineyards with pride in the face of the unstoppable advance of urbanization.
Armorik Yeun Elez Breton Single Mlt 50ml
$11.99
This whisky was featured on Day 18 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can check out Evan's blog post on the whisky here.
From Warenghem Distillery in Brittany, France. The Armorik Yeun Elez Single Malt Breton Peated is a Peated Breton Single Malt Whisky (see how I changed the order of these words to make myself sound smart?), distilled from peated malted barley imported from Scotland with a spec of 50ppm. Sadly, we only managed to get 50ml bottles of this limited release, not the full size.
Producer Note
"Launched in September 2020, Yeun Elez is the result of the distillery’s foray into peated territories. We offer you a peated variation of our Armorik single malt : we use Scottish 50 ppm peated malted barley, water from our own source and our artisanal know-how. Breton Single Malt whisky, it has been distilled and matured to highlights its delicate, elegant, and fruity peat."
