Producer Description

"Bardstown Bourbon’s Ferrand finish continues our acclaimed collaboration with France’s prestigious Maison Ferrand. This second partnership with Ferrand sees Kentucky straight whiskey finished 15 months in Maison Ferrand Cognac barrels, merging American character with French refinement. The cognac barrel finish adds remarkable complexity with notes of dried fruit, honey, toasted oak, and subtle floral character that enhance the bourbon’s natural vanilla and caramel foundation. The result is a layered, limited-edition release that reflects the craftsmanship and creativity at the heart of both houses."

Decadent Drams Pulteney 11 Year

$168.74

This 2013 vintage Pulteney was matured 11 years in a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel before bottling at 53%. 87pts Whisky Fun

Producer Description

"Distilled in 2013 and matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel, this 11-year-old Pulteney comes bottled at 53% after a touch of reduction. It’s a whisky that wears its coastal roots proudly: rich, briny backbone, flashes of freshness, and the sturdy Highland heft that makes Pulteney such a favourite. A dram that captures the character of the north-east shore in full sail – bold, bright, and unmistakably maritime."

Whiskyland Ch.18 Gone Grant 30 Year

$999.99

This 1994 vintage Caperdonich was bottled after 30 years in a First Fill Sherry Hogshead at 51.2%. Caperdonich is a closed distillery, once called Glen Grant No.2, hence the name: Gone Grant. 89.21pts Whiskybase

Producer Description

"Whiskyland Chapter 18 takes place in one of Whiskyland's many hybrid library bars. In fact, no one is particularly sure whether they are bars with large reading selections, or libraries that serve drinks. It doesn't do to ponder these unanswerable questions too deeply. Best to just pour a generous measure of this rather sublime 1994 'Gone Grant' single malt that underwent a 4 year secondary maturation in a fresh sherry hogshead, select something intellectually nourishing to read, and occasionally glance out of the window at the Whiskyland night sky."

Whiskyland Ch.17 Glen Moray 31 Year

$859.99

This is a multivintage bottling of Glen Moray, a marriage of whiskies from 1990, 1991, and 1992, from Refill Hogsheads and Refill Sherry Hogsheads, bottled at 31 years and 50.5%.

Producer Description

"Whiskyland Chapter Seventeen is a bit of an experiment. A mixing together of Glen Moray single malt from three different cask types and vintages. Small amounts of whisky from one refill sherry and two refill bourbon hogsheads, were all married together in that most romantic of vessels, an IBC, to create a small-batch 31 year old Glen Moray that's richly fruity, waxy and honeyed with abundant old school Speyside character. There are certainly parts of Whiskyland which are goverened by chaos, but this bottling comes from one of Whiskyland's more serene places, where balance and harmony are very much the rule. We hope this wee Glen Moray demonstrates those same qualities..."

Equinox & Solstice Mannochmore 15 Year

$214.99

This 2009 Mannochmore was bottled from a marriage of two refill hogsheads, bottled after 15 years at 48.5%.

Producer Description

"This year's Autumn edition of Equinox & Solstice is a small batch, 15 year old Mannochmore created from marrying together two refill hogsheads and bottling with slight reduction at this serie's trademark bottling strength of 48.5%. It's a waxy, fruity, warming and luscious dram. Perfect cosy accompaniment for Autumn."

Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014

$107.99

This unpeated Bruichladdich is a 2014 vintage, produced from Propino and Concerto barley varietals, grown at 5 farms on Islay: "Coull, Rockside, Island, Mulindry, Cruach, Dunlossit, Craigens and Sunderland Farms."

Producer Description

"For almost two decades, we have shown the permanence of our commitment to barley provenance. Aided by the determination and resilience of our local farming partners, Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 is the latest vintage of the unpeated, locally grown single malt.

"Distilled using barley grown solely on Islay, the single malt truly celebrates place and provenance. The latest Islay Barley vintage is distilled from barley grown on eight local farms, all within an 11-mile radius of Bruichladdich Distillery.

"Fully traceable from farm to glass, Islay Barley 2014 has been matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks, sherry butts and second-fill wine casks, balancing the influence of the oak with the locally grown barley.

"The result is a cereal-forward single malt with notes of apricot and peach, malty digestive biscuit, and a hint of fresh grass. A subtle maritime note also lingers, nodding to the whisky’s all Islay harvest, distillation and maturation."

Bruichladdich Octomore 16.1

$269.99

This 5 year old Octomore was distilled in 2019, from a 2018 harvest, peated to 101.4ppm, and bottled after 5 years in ex-Bourbon casks at 59.3%.

Producer Description

"16.1 is crafted using 100% Scottish Mainland Concerto Barley, malted to 101.4 PPM and aged in cask for 5 years, with an ABV of 59.3%. This elegant liquid is matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, bringing forth intense peat smoke with surprising delicacy. Salted caramel, honeyed melon and apricot lead into chocolate and coconut, accompanied by a soft wave of earthy minerality and lingering smoke."

Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2

$279.99

The Octomore 16.2 was made from the same parcel of malt as 16.1, peated to 101.4ppm, but differs in its maturation: "Oloroso and Bordeaux casks, recasked into Madeira and Moscatel for final year of maturation." 2019 vintage, 5 years of age, and 58.1% ABV.

Producer Description

"Using the same batch of Scottish barley malted to the same 101.4ppm, the 16.2 has been housed in a fine selection of Oloroso and Bordeaux casks before being finished in Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel for a rich and complex flavour. Caramelised sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits abound, enveloped in sweet campfire smoke.

"Octomore 16.2 is a captivating exploration of contrasting elements. The powerful peat smoke finds a perfect counterpoint in the rich, nuanced sweetness derived from the finishing casks. The result is a multilayered and deeply satisfying dram, showcasing both elegance and robust character. This is a whisky that demands attention and rewards patience, revealing its intricacies with each sip."
