Clermont Steep American Single Malt
$79.99
Bottled at 47%, this is Jim Beam's first foray into the American Single Malt Whiskey category. Freddie Noe, the master distiller known Little Book series and the famous Booker Noe's grandson, is responsible for this 5 Year Old Single Malt.
Producer Description
"We took almost a decade to develop Clermont Steep, our first American Single Malt Whiskey. In a new-to-world, fast growing category, Freddie Noe started this experiment like he does with everything: right at home. Freddie reminisced about baking bread with his Granddaddy. There’s nostalgia in every sip of this category-defining liquid.
He started with a combination of Distiller’s barley and gold pilsner barley, and our trademark jug yeast to create the base of what would become our first ever American Single Malt whiskey. He then made an innovative, category-leading choice to age the barrels in a level 1 charred, new oak barrel to create a perfect environment to age our liquid. After 5 years, he had created a masterpiece that would make his grandaddy proud."
Glenmorangie Nectar D`Or 16 Year
$129.99
The new Nectar' D'Or has some age on it... 16 years, and the cask makeup has been tweaked too. After maturing 14 years in ex-Bourbon, the whisky is now finished for a further two in a marriage of four different sweet wine cask types: Sauternes, Monbazillac, Moscatel, and Tokaji. 46%
Producer Description
"For extra depth and creaminess, silky Glenmorangie aged for 14 years in bourbon casks was selected. The whisky was then finished for two more years in a new combination of sweet white wine casks.
"Sauternes and Monbazillac casks from France bring sumptuous notes of pastry, brioche, meringue and baked apples. Moscatel casks from Spain offer sweet, syrupy dessert-like notes. And Tokaji casks from Hungary, add white chocolate, almond and honeycomb flavours to their creation."

About Annandale Distillery
Built in the 1830s and first opened in 1836, Annandale Distillery has a tumultuous history. The distillery was rebuilt and expanded in 1887, and It was purchased by Johnnie Walker & Son in 1895. Johnnie Walker & Son operated Annandale until around 1916 when it was shut down. The distillery site was owned by the Robinson family from 1924 to 2007, but never used for distillation during that time. The Robinson's owned the Provost brand of porridge oats. The distillery buildings were used for production of the porridge, and warehouses on the site homed cattle instead of casks.
The site was purchased in 2007 by David Thomson and Teresa Church, and whisky production began again in 2014. The current Annandale Distillery Company has been releasing official bottlings since 2018, though the focus has curiously been solely on single casks. No plans have been made for a wide-scale release at this time.
Old Malt Cask Inchgower 23 Year
$229.99
There is a really good price to age ratio on this whisky, and the liquid doesn't disappoint either. Distilled in 1998 and bottled from a Refill Hogshead Cask at 50% after 23 years. We don't see a lot of Inchgower with some age on it, so this is pretty cool!
