Glen Grant 15 Year
$96.99
Well, this is a clever addition to the range, isn't it? Fifteen years old and 50%. Wow. Colour us happy. If the team at Glen Grant realizes that higher abv in whisky like this has an appeal (mostly for textural reasons), why keep the rest of the range at 43%? Apparently, there are people out there that prefer their whisky at lower strengths. We've never met one, but I guess they're out there. Does that count as cryptozoology?
Anyway, let's celebrate the good! Great distillery, good expression, nice age statement, and a robust strength that suits the profile. Well done.

$35.99
From the Distillery

Smooth, easy-going, and made for sipping.

Dumangin Whisky Cooley 2009
$134.99
Double distilled Single Grain Irish Whiskey from Cooley. Just to be clear, before we even address the cask finishing, grain whiskey (or whisky) is generally column-distilled and Irish Whisky is often triple distilled. Already we're in strange waters. Now factor in the fact that we have a grain whisky matured for 10 years in refill Bourbon and STR casks before being re-racked into Ratafia? Guaranteed you've not seen a whiskey quite like this.
258 bottles. Natural colour and non-chill filtered.

SMOS Res Casks No.9 Caol Ila 8 Year
$109.99
This 8 year old Caol Ila is from a marriage of 6 ex-Bourbon Barrel, bottled at 48%.
Amrut Two Continents
$169.99
Good to see this one back. There's only ever been a handful of batches of this expression, so it's extra special to see the prodigal child return.
Amrut Two Continents starts its life in India and, after a period of initial maturation in those warm climes, the casks are shipped to an undisclosed European location for the last little bit of 'growing up'. An interesting concept (something that Scotch whisky could never do), and always well-executed. This is Batch No 4.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
