The Arran Malt Single Malt Scotch 18 yr – Arran is 20 years old this year, and this is the third special bottling to celebrate that mile marker. This beautiful 18-year-old malt is aged exclusively in sherry casks. However, they must be second, or likely third fill sherry casks as this whisky is by no means a “sherry bomb”. In fact, if the fact that it is indeed 100% sherry cask aged was not specified, one could easily assume ex-bourbon casks were used initially, and sherry was just a finish. Aromas and flavors of caramel, vanilla, and brown sugar show initially, and then red fruits, berries, and citrus follow. Overall it’s a very nice, balanced, and well-aged Arran malt worthy of any single malt lover.

Compass Box Introduction Collection – For anyone in the know, Compass Box is kind of a big deal in the world of malt whisky. John Glaser produces high end blended malts to rival the great single malt houses of Scotland. If you haven’t had the pleasure of tasting any Compass Box whisky, this is the perfect way to do so.

Suntory Whisky Toki – This is the newest release from Suntory. Toki translates to time, and is a blend of whiskies from Hakushu, Yamazaki, and Chita distilleries. Hakushu malt provides a main component, and is countered by Chito grain whisky. A little Yamazaki rounds it out and adds some depth. Overall it’s a light, young, and easy going whisky of elegance and balance. Think of this as a nice Pinot Grigio of Japanese whisky.

Three Bines Hop Flavored Whiskey – Here’s a neat new whisky. It’s a younger, yet smooth, base of whisky that has been nicely integrated with Simcoe, Cascade, and Amarillo hops. It’s not too bitter, not too sweet, and delightfully drinkable.
