A.D. Rattray Cask Islay Blended Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($47.99)

Bruichladdich Black Art 2nd Edition 21 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($169.99)
Always one of Bruichladdich’s more esoteric offerings, yet by no means less brilliant, the Black Art series alludes to Jim McEwan’s almost devilish ability to conjure up flavors never-before seen in single malt whisky. Using a combination of various wine casks, this 21 year old whisky undergoes a transformation that takes the rich, oily textures of old Bruichladdich and combines it with cherries, blackberries, currants, and a melee of other red-fruited delights. The vanilla and oak come smoothly on the finish. It’s a decadent whisky and it’s always quick to sell out. Grab it while it’s here. (David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer)

Octomore 4.1 Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($169.99)

Octomore 4.2 Comus Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($189.99)
Peated at 167 ppm and run at a slow drip through the still, the Octomore from Bruichladdich is the peatiest whisky in the world. At a whopping 61%, this new 4.2 Comus release has been finished in Chateau d’Yquem casks, adding richness to the bright, almost cinnamon-like peat of the Octomore whisky. Rich golden raisins with a peaty punch in the face. Tropical fruits smoked and caramelized to high heaven. This is not for the faint of heart, yet it’s something everyone should try at least once (and perhaps several times for the truly hedonistic).

Oban 18 Year Limited Edition Single Malt Whisky 750ml (Elsewhere $149.99) ($99.99)
91 points Malt Advocate: “Drier, less toffee and fruit, more dried spice and oak when compared to the standard Oban 14 year old. A beautiful combination of rich, nutty toffee balanced by polished oak, salt, pepper, seaweed, distant smoke, and dried fruit. Somewhat oily in texture. Wonderful depth, too! An improvement on what is already the biggest-selling Diageo single malt scotch in the U.S. Very exciting and dynamic. (Vol. 17, #4, by John Hansell)” K&L Notes: Always tough to find – this is a limited edition bottling for the US only. As the cannister states, “only so much can be made, it is never enough.”
