New Scotch Arrivals at the Park Avenue Liquor Shop.
Winter greetings,
We hope everyone had a nice holiday season. As we recover from the festivities and trudge through the heart of winter here in New York, we are happy to report the arrival of some new and interesting scotches including the return of GlendDronach – including our exclusive 19 year old bottling. We are also showing a couple of bottles that ‘peat’ lovers are sure to like as well as the latest bottling from the Glenrothes distillery.
Thanks for taking a look. As always, if you have any questions about any item we carry – don’t hesitate to ask.
Cheers!

“Big Peat” from independent bottler, Douglas Laing is a vatted, oops – ‘blended’ malt made from an all-star team of line-up of Islay distilleries. This particular vatting carries a big peaty (hence the name), beachy oceanic slightly ashy selection of malts from Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and silent distillery – Port Ellen in the “recipe”. Ally these lusty and robust Malts selected for BIG PEAT with the fact that no chill filtration takes place – a more old fashioned traditional approach – and you will detect a massive amplification of the anticipated sea-faring qualities on the nose, palate, and finish. These are particularly appreciated when consumed leisurely in the same style these Malts have waited for you in the cold, dark and
windswept warehouses of Islay. The guy on the label? No idea.
92 proof.
Our Price: $105
“Double Barrel” by Douglas Laing
The Douglas Laing company continues the intriguing and distinctly fun process, of sampling and approving different casks then marrying them with other distillery Malts. This ‘Double Barrel’ bottling joins casks from Laphroaig and Macallan.The colour of this Double Barrel is light gold and the nose is light, fresh and vibrant. There is a lot of pungent smoke as well as some vanilla, malty cereal grains and a fruity sweetness. The latter elements struggle through the smoke but they are there. On the palate, the smokiness is the predominant feature with some bitter saltiness. More subtle are the vanilla, honey, dried fruit and something akin to shortbread. 92 proof
Our Price: $98
