Maltbarn Glen Ord 2012
$181.99
Ord is one of Scotland's juggernauts of Scotch whisky. Unfortunately, most of it ends up in the Asian markets, bottled under those wide Singleton bottles you may know. So again... we run to the independents for our Glen Ord fix. Only 148 bottles of this ex-Bourbon 9-year-old Ord from Maltbarn, and less than half a dozen at KWM.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.9% abv.
Glenmorangie Signet
$314.99
According to Dr. Bill Lumsden, SIGNET represents the "culmination of a lifetime's experience". At the heart of SIGNET lies whisky created from high roasted "chocolate" malt, giving rich, dark and powerful flavors that no whisky before has been able to so beautifully balance. SIGNET also contains rare and ancient whiskies from the Glenmorangie's archives, aged for over 34 years.
Maltbarn Tullibardine 2007
$189.99
The quintessential cereal-driven, grain-forward, barley-boasting distillery, Tulli seems to show its truest self in ex-Bourbon like this. Only 160 bottles...for the planet.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.9% abv.
Maltbarn Caol Ila 2007
$299.99
Caol Ila, more than any other Islay single malt, seems to marry really well with sherry casks. We expect this 15-year-old to be no exception. A small outturn of only 153 bottles, only a handful of which came to KWM. 88.44pts Whiskybase
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.1% abv
Maltbarn Glenburgie 2003
$419.99
Glenburgie is one of the most exciting distilleries going. Team KWM are big fans (remember that killer single cask we bottled for the shop a couple years back?), and itching to try this 19-year-old sherried version. Only 143 bottles worldwide. 89pts Whiskybase
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottles at 51.6% abv.
Maltbarn Granville 2000
$409.99
A rose by any other name. Granville is an appellation occasionally used for Clynelish. 22-year-old Highland malt in ex-Bourbon. A small outturn of only 144 bottles from ex-Bourbon, with only 4 coming to KWM!
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 54.9% abv.
Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt
$79.99
Amrut distillery is located in Bangalore India. They use a mix of Scottish and Indian barley, the later sourced from farmland in the north of India which borders the Hymalayas.The name "Amrut" comes from Indian mythology and means "Nectar of Life" in Sanskrit. Amrut whiskies are bottled young because in the harsh Indian climate they mature quickly loosing between 10 and 15% volume per year.
Big Peat
$97.99
The Big Peat Blended Malt Scotch was featured on Day 5 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can find the blog post here
50ml / mini bottles of Big Peat can be found here
The Big Peat makes one promise: 'peat." Vatted from single malts distilled at Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and Port Ellen. What more could you ask for? This whisky may be made with Bowmore and Caol Ila, but it is its Ardbeg which is most dominant. Given that Port Ellen has been closed for 35 years, and any whisky from that distillery is now very mature, even the addition of only a small amount is very special. Earthy, chocolaty, salty, smoky, peaty and lightly medicinal. This whisky truly is Islay in a bottle. 46%.
Whisky Agency Glen Grant 1998
$539.99
An absolutely iconic distillery, bottled by a great bottler, at an apex age. Matured in a Hogshead for optimal maturation to boot. This should be a treat!
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 50.4% abv
