Smokehead Terminado Islay Single Malt
$105.99
The latest Smokehead line extension is Terminado, a Tequila cask finished Islay single malt, reputedly from Ardbeg, bottled at 43%.
Producer Description
"Terminado brings together Smokehead Islay single malt with tequila. It’s the meeting of two restless spirits – and the awakening of a mesmerising whisky. There, in this tequila cask finish, fiery peat awakes with wild agave. Smoke mixes with chewy meringue. And citrus spins with sweetness. You ain’t tasted nothing like this before."
Great Plains 22 Year Cognac Finish
$139.99
Producer Note: "This is the very first batch that we acquired at the beginning of our journey into the whisky business. The bond year of this batch is 2000 and continues to finish in Cognac barrels. It’s pretty great, but the brandy finished stuff was ready ahead of time. So we’re letting this batch sit bit longer and now it’s ready for a partial release."
Batch 1 was created by marrying three single casks of 100% corn whisky from the lost Potters distillery. It spent 17 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before being re-racked for 5 years in 25 year old Cognac barrels from Charente, France.

Compass Box Flaming Heart 2022
$204.99
The 2022 (7th) Edition of Compass Box Flaming Heart has been built around powerful malts from Laphroaig, Caol Ia, and Talisker, tamed a bit with others from Glen Elgin, Balmenach, and Highland Park, and that's not all. This Blended Malt consists of a wide range of components including remnants from the 2018 Flaming Heart and Peat Monster Arcana. 48.9%. Limit 2 per customer!
Producer Description
"This is our seventh edition of Flaming Heart, the whisky that revels in the harmonies between heavy peat and toasted French oak. Imagine Metallica with a backing orchestra, and you’re getting close. With the best bands, each album is an opportunity to explore and experiment; every record is an evolution from the one before. For fans of Flaming Heart, we always seek to evolve the ‘sound’ and have introduced a deep fruitiness to the arrangement for the 2022 version.
"The smoke machine is powered by a combination of malts from the Laphroaig, Caol Ila and Talisker distilleries, while our Highland Malt Blend has spent more than five years in richly toasted virgin French oak custom casks to deliver round, booming spicy richness."

Dumangin Premium Rose de Saignee
$94.99
Exclusive to KWM, the Dumangin Saignee rosé is a beautiful, intensely aromatic Champagne. The grapes are hand harvested, hand sorted then spend about a 48 to 72 hour maceration period. This vintage Champagne is only made in the very best years and is primarily Pinot Meunier (50%) with 25% each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It's fresh and bracing with notes of wild berries and citrus followed by some minerality.
Confluence Amethyst Spice Gin
$41.99
Utilizing the magic of the Butterfly Peaflower, the Detour Amethyst Gin from Confluence changes its hue depending on the PH of the cocktail it is used in. Other ingredients used include lavender, elderflower, blueberry and grains of paradise.
Bridgeland Wheat Whisky KWM Cask
$67.99
This Bridgeland Wheat Whisky was not on our radar until the chaps at the Calgary distillery insisted we try a sample. Made from a mash of 80% Red Spring Wheat, and 20% Malted Barley from Penhold Alberta, the spirit was distilled after a long fermentation in pot stills before being filled into cask. It was initially matured in Virgin American Oak, before finishing in French Limousin Toasted Oak, which had been seasoned with Bridgeland's own Moscato Brandy. Bottled at 57%, exclusively for Kensington Wine Market, this is a great-value single-cask Canadian wheat whisky... and boy are we lucky they insisted we try it!
Wolfburn Northland Single Malt
$83.99
Matured in American Oak quarter casks. Ex-Islay casks, at that. And we all know who uses quarter casks on Islay, right? Northland is sort of the flagship expression in the Wolfburn range, and quite a dcent 'hopping on' point.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv
Ballechin SFTC Sherry 11 year 59.6%
$123.74
