Rottensteiner Lagrein Riserva Rose 2021
$36.99
In this region, most Lagrein is traditionally vinified into rosé. The grapes were pressed and then drawn off into a basket called a “Kretz”.
The rosé is cultivated in Bolzano-Gries, the classic area of Lagrein. This variety is so rich in colour, that even small injuries to the skin during the pressing are enough to colour the must in the characteristic light ruby red. The fruity-fresh Lagrein rosé may be a typical summer wine but it's a natural with turkey or baked salmon as well.
Glengoyne Legacy Series: Chapter 3
$134.99
Bottled at 48% form Refill Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks.
Producer Description
"Inspired by Sir Arthur John Tedder – The Exciseman stationed at Glengoyne defining the rules of Scotch whisky, inspired by our distillery. March 2nd 1908 – He was first witness at the Royal Commission on Whiskey* and other potable spirits. A royal commission to determine the very concept of what whisky was. On one side was the purists who only thought Pot Still whisky was whisky and on the other side Blenders who thought grain and malt whisky combined was whisky.
"The Scots and the blenders won the day after 37 sittings; This was seen as the sensible outcome. Blends could still be called Whisky and called Scotch if distilled in Scotland. We will use this exceptional whisky to celebrate Tedder’s influence in defining what should make a great Scotch during his time stationed at Glengoyne – defining the rules to which we still distil to this day.
"Tedder would be proud of this exceptional whisky – bottled using some of the very finest American oak sherry casks in our Glengoyne warehouses – and we thank him as the attention to detail and his exacting standards not only creates rules the whole industry follows today, but it inspired the people of Glengoyne to constantly pursue perfection, and helping to create the Unhurried Glengoyne Way."
Whisky Sponge Caol Ila 2009 Ed. No.66
$264.99
Producer Note
"A hearty and juicy Caol Ila fully matured in refill sherry. A single 2nd fill sherry butt filled in 2009, matured for 12 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 56.3%. Sherry and peat can be uneasy bedfellows in modern whisky, but this cask shows a lovely balanced profile of gently salty and gamey sherry with big, syrupy and tarry peat smoke. Please sip it in your local den of iniquity while 'chasing the Cooo-nicorn'."

$104.99

Made from a mash bill of 75% Corn, 21% Rye, and 4% Malted Barley (yeah, the photo does say 10% for the Malted Barley. Shawn pointed out that it would make the mash bill to give 106%. That's impossible. No mash bill can give more than 100%. By definition that is the most any mash bill can give....), it was filled into a standard charred virgin American White Oak 53-gallon barrel on November 25th, 2018. It was aged for 3 years and 6 months before being bottled exclusively for our shop at a cask strength of 60.4%. 228 bottles total.
