Burnt Ends Rye & Peated Single Malt 45%
$47.99
If you visit Hayden Block - the great barbecue joint not too far from Kensington Wine Market - it is always a good idea to order the burnt ends. This just might be the perfect whiskey to pair with it! Burnt Ends is an intriguing blend of Rye Whiskey from Tennessee and peated single malt scotch that was finished in sherry casks. The result may just have to be shared with the meat in your smoker. 45% ABV.
From The Producer
"Inspired by the tasty goods served at the barbecue joints of the USA, this rich, meaty expression brings together Tennessee rye whiskey and sherry cask-finished peated single malt Scotch whisky, all within a bottle that looks like it should hold barbecue sauce. It's meaty, smoky, rich and satisfying stuff."

To mark the 40th Anniversary of Nikka From the Barrel, the Japanese firm has released a boxed set of 3 whiskies. The set includes the From The Barrel Extra Marriage (created to mark the 40th Anniversary) as well as the individual Malt and Grain components of the Blend.
Producer Description
"This special 3-bottle set celebrates 40 years of Nikka From the Barrel by featuring the two non-chill-filtered cask-strength components, the Grain Pieces of the Barrel and Malt Pieces of the Barrel, alongside the final "Extra Marriage" blend. The Malt offers a rich, structured character with notes of ripe apricot, sweet vanilla, and mellow peat, while the Grain is sweet and smooth, with hints of banana and bitter-sweet marmalade. The Extra Marriage is a rich and full-bodied whisky with complex layers of chocolate, orange peel, and mellow oak tannins, culminating in a long, gently bitter finish."
Rock Island 10 Year Blended Malt
$63.69
A limited edition Blended Malt created from the islands of Arran, Jura, Islay and Orkney. 46%.
Producer Description: "Rock Island 10 Years Old is a beautifully aged, Island “Vatted” Malt, that is proudly offered without colouring or chill-filtration. Bottled at 46% alcohol strength, Rock Island 10 Years Old marries together Single Malts from Islay, Arran, Orkney & Jura, resulting in a Whisky entailing wave after wave of sea salt, wood embers, gentle smoke and orange peel."
Producer Tasting Note
"The nose is initially barley-rich and buttery, developing to wave-soaked rocks with gentle peat smoke and citrus fruits. The palate bursts with a beachy quality - sea spray, black pepper and damp ash. The finish goes on and on, with wave after wave of wood embers, orange peel and gentle spice."
Compass Box Orchard House
$88.99
This whisky was featured on Day 6 of our 2024 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can read Evan's blog post on it here.
This is a game-changing whisky from Compass Box, built not from acquired aged components, but rather new make spirit acquired and filled into Compass Box own casks. Orchard House is composed of primarily Linkwood (39%), Clynelish (29%), Benrinnes (20%) and Caol Ila (2%), all from First Fill ex-Boubon Barrels, along with Highland Blended Malt (2%) from custom French oak casks and a secret Speyside single malt (8%) from Revatted Oloroso Sherry-Seasoned Butts. Hmmm, a "Distillery near the town of Aberlour" sounds a lot like Benfarclas... 46%.
Producer Description
"What is more universally delicious than ripe fruit? Even the greatest chefs have been known to serve a simple dish of strawberries or a single, perfect peach as a dessert.
"Orchard House gathers together some of the fruitiest malts Scotland has to offer, including whiskies from the Linkwood and Clynelish distilleries; what’s more, we have sourced many of these whiskies as new spirit and laid them down in our own oak casks. This, our monument to fresh fruitiness in Scotch whisky, has been many years in the making."
MacNair`s Lum Reek 10 Year CS Batch 2
$114.99
Exciting to have Batch #2 in hand! And for the keeners who live in that world of nuance, we still have a few bottles of Batch #1, so if you wanna compare... we gotcha covered!
Producer Note: "Crafted from a combination of the finest Speyside and Islay Single Malts, including aged GlenAllachie, Batch 2 of our Lum Reek 10-year-old is the perfect balance between peat and rich, fruity character. The spirit was laid to rest in premium Spanish sherry casks, wine barriques and virgin oak casks at The GlenAllachie Distillery. As time passes, the flavours marry and extract additional characteristics from the wood, creating a deliciously sweet yet subtly smoky flavour profile."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 55.8%.
