Ichiro then took possession of all the whisky stocks left behind in the Hanyu distillery and used them in the blending production of the world famous Ichiro’s Malt Card Series. Chichibu whiskies are much in demand globally due to limited production and award winning quality. Ichiro Akuto is revered globally as a master craft distiller, producing some of Japan’s best whiskies today. A marriage of single malts from Chichibu and Hanyu distilleries. This expression marries sweetness and firmness.

Inniskillin Vidal Icewine 50ml
$11.99
Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser founded Inniskillin in Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1975 and later expanded their reach to the Okanagan Valley, too. Their 1989 Inniskillin Icewine won the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Vinexpo in Bordeaux. Icewine is made by leaving grapes on the vine well into the winter months, until they are frozen to -8 C. The frozen grapes are then pressed in the extreme cold, so cold that only a few drops of sweet concentrated juice are obtained from each bunch. This Vidal is deep gold in color with an enticing nose of lychee nuts. The palate is packed with flavors of sweet tropical fruits, peaches and mango. It is intensely sweet with a clean, dry finish. Serve by itself as a dessert, or pair with creme brulee, flan or pound cake. A wonderful gift!

Who doesn't love a 25 year old whisky at a great price? Does it matter where it came from, or what's in it? This 25 year old Blended Malt, 1999 Cask #4 was bottled exclusively for KWM at a cask strength of 48%. If this looks familiar, that's because we had a sister cask of this whisky back in 2023. Good as that was, and it was pretty decent, this is even better. Almost certainly sherried ex-Edrington (cough Macallan, Highland Park, etc), this one is even better than the last.
