Boutique-y Speyside #4 24 Year KWM Cask
$174.99
Our second KWM cask from That Boutique-y Whisky Company has arrived! This undisclosed Speyside Single Malt was possibly saved from being blended into Chivas Royal Salute. It is 24 years old. 220 bottles were filled at a strength of 47.8% ABV.
Will you Glen-Love-it? We do, and we bet you will too!
Our first Boutique-y KWM bottle was from an undisclosed Highland Distillery that we know for certain is Clynelish, but which Speyside distillery could this 24 Year Old Single Cask be from?
With this Speysider, we don't know with 100% certainty, but That Boutique-y Whisky Company has done what they do best -beyond bottling great whisky that is - and offered up a few hints. Here is the first one:
"There are 46 Speyside distilleries so are you feeling lucky? Punk? Oops wrong movie reference
Seriously though, we really can’t tell you where this comes from, or indeed give you too many clues…
But don’t let that stop you from discovering this spectacular Speysider - we bet you’ll glen-love-it!"
Just in case that sounds like a red herring, here is the second hint:
"Our label is a riff on ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ where a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins - a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer H.A.L. 9000.
Our spacecraft is this very modern (with the joint largest capacity) secret Speyside distillery, that can be run by just two men, and a computer."
Based on that, it has to be Glenlivet or Glenfiddich, right? And Glenfiddich single malt is never independently bottled as far as we can tell - only casks of Blended Malt that have been teaspooned with Balvenie or Kininvie are sold or traded off... Hmm...
Kavalan Solist Oloroso Sherry KWM Cask
$259.99
Our first-ever store-exclusive cask of Kavalan is a Solist Oloroso Sherry cask, S1705181510, to be specific. It was bottled at 52.4% after 6 years and two months in cask. We haven't seen much of the Solist Oloroso Sherry expression in recent years, so we asked if they'd consider sending us a few samples so we could bottle our own cask. They did, and one of them stood head and shoulders above the other... so naturally we had to have it!
Hot climate maturation supercharges aging process, and also the angels share. So there are only 205 total bottles. Get em while they're hot!
Finlaggan Old Islay Res Cask Strength
$74.99
Believed to be Caol Ila, the whisky is bottled at a cask strength of 58%. Finlaggan is an Islay mystery malt named for the most historically significant site on Islay. Loch (lake) Finlaggan--named after St. Findulgan who is believed to have brought Christianity to Islay--and its islands were the political and social capital of the Lord's of the Isles, who ruled the Western Isles of Scotland for over 400 years. Finlaggan Cask Strength is put together by the Vintage Malt Whisky Company, whom are also responsible for the Cooper's Choice and Ileach lineup. It is bottled at a batch strength of 58% ABV.

Distilled in 2003, the whisky was matured 20 years in a refill barrel, before bottling at 53.4%. This is yet another 20th Anniversary bottling for our owner Andrew, aka the Scotch Guy, who started his journey in the world of whisky at KWM on November 23, 2003! The label features Andrew and the store dog Walter, bathing in one of Craigellachie's wormtubs, while being served a dram by The Sponge." 90pts Whisky Fun!
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherr
$75.99
Full product name: "Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Sherry Casks." is a 10 year old mystery Islay single malt bottled at 40%. From Atom Brands, the chaps who brought you That Boutique-y Whisky Co.
Producer Description
"Peat and sherry is a great combo, though sometimes it can be a bit of a battle between two proud titans of flavour. Thankfully, this one shows off a welcome harmony that brings out the best of both. It's a marvellous variation of Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, featuring the same smoky 10 year old Islay single malt, though instead of just 25% of it being finished in sherry casks, the entirety of the whisky was finished in them. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly well-balanced flavour profile."
