Cotswolds Sherry Cask Single Malt
$123.99
According to the Cotswolds team, this one is "American and Spanish oak hogsheads and butts, seasoned with Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry." They also qualify that by saying it's entirely sherry cask matured (don't let the American oak throw you off) full the entire term. It's rather brilliant seeing England back in the single malt game, no? The English whisky renaissance is going to be fun to watch.
9,900 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 57.4% abv.
Eau Claire Yours Truly Batch #3

Nikka Days Blended Japanese Whisky
$61.99
Named for the concept behind its development, the Nikka Days is meant to be un unpretentious whisky for everyday drinking that can be enjoyed on its own or in a cocktail equally as well. While the whisky comes the Nikka Whisky Distilling Company, a renowned Japanese whisky producer, Nikka itself states that not all of this blend is made solely from Japanese Whisky and likely includes whisky produced in other parts of the world. Bottled at 40%.

Dalmore 18 Year
$559.99
From The Producer
"The Dalmore 18 harnesses bolder notes for a robust whisky that’s deliciously rich with deep chocolate notes. A limited-edition annual release, this 2023 expression is a rare and exceptional single malt whisky."
Craigellachie 17 Year
$179.99
Craigellachie has some of the best packaging in the biz, no two ways about it. Not only is the branding for their age-stated range straight out of the 1800s, but the whisky in the bottle seems almost as archaic. And we mean that in the best possible way. And those age statements? All prime numbers! So far we've seen a 13, 17, 19, 23, 31 and 51. Love it! Expect a chewy, malty experience from days gone by. A bit more challenging, and meant for the true afficionado.
Whisky Sponge Ben Nevis 1996 Ed.58A
$489.99
1996 Ben Nevis has a legendary reputation, and it is becoming increasingly scarce. This 25 year old, from a Refill Butt, has been bottled at 53%. It is described as being very distillate driven.
Producer Note
"This is a hyper-distillate driven, almost ideologically 'refill' profile Ben Nevis 1996. You have been warned! However, for those of you who also enjoy this extremely pure, naked and invigorating style of highland malt whisky - you shall find yourself contorted with satisfaction. For this edition, the Sponge interviews his older self about his successes, failures and unrequited vengeances. You'll have to wait until next year, when we bottle the other half of this cask, to find out what his answers are... The first half of this stark-naked refill butt has been bottled reduced to 53% to bring out a slightly fruitier style on the palate. Next year we will likely do the rest at cask strength. If civilisation remains moderately intact. Stay tuned..."
