Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch 

Based in Kirby, Wyoming, Wyoming Whiskey has a simple goal: to create America’s next great bourbon. The Mead family first came to Wyoming as ranchers in 1890 and the state defines them, and their whiskey. They use the finest non-GMO corn, wheat, barley, and water from the Big Horn Basin and promote Wyoming’s natural and human resources.

A traditional bourbon from a nontraditional place, their original flagship and identifying product is the award-winning Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey. Dark amber in color, this whiskey is floral with a hint of vanilla bean and caramel pudding. Finished with notes of toffee and vanilla fade, the spirit is 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley.

Old and rare Blanton’s! Available November 19 at MusthaveMalts.com

Calling all Blanton’s fans: on the 19^th of November you will get a chance to collect some old and rare Blanton’s on MusthaveMalts.com, with dumping dates going back to as far as 1989.

The greatest bourbon that will become available on the 19th is a Blanton’s Single Barrel with a dumping date of November 13, 1989. The Sazerac Company introduced Blanton’s in 1984, making the 1989 an early release indeed. ‘We are lucky to have found it’, says MusthaveMalts.com owner Alwin Kuiken. ‘It was imported by an Italian company in the 1980s and it remained in that country until we found it there. It was catching dust; can you believe it?’ The bottle stopper of the 1989, famously decorated with a racing horse, does not bare one of the eight letters that comprise the name Blanton’s. They introduced those stoppers in 1999, making this 1989 Single Barrel a collector’s whiskey for sure.

Other bottles that will become available on November 19 are Blanton’s Original (dumped in 1997), some very rare Blanton’s Silver (dumped in 2003) and last but not least Blanton’s Gold (dumped in 2002) with an original packaging featuring the famous Blanton’s racing horses. And last but not least: Blanton’s The Chronicles 2018.

All bottles will be made available at 4PM CST on MusthaveMalts.com.

J&B Rare, originated in the 1930s, was highly popular among influential drinkers such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin (‘The Rat Pack’). Today, we’re bringing this iconic brand to a new generation of customers (both female and men) who can experience a piece of the history. We’ve kicked off with a special Christmas serve, created by a bartender from Drake & Morgan’s The Parlour, called A Rare Discovery. The unique cocktail creation is elegant in taste, with sweet aromas from peach puree, elderflower cordial, and exudes flavours of rich fruitiness and vanilla from the subtle yet full-bodied Scotch whisky.

A Rare Discovery

Ingredients:

• 40ml J&B Rare
• 10ml Kamm and Sons British Aperitif Bitters
• 20ml Peach Puree
• 10ml Elderflower cordial
• 15ml Lemon Juice

Shake all ingredients together and pour over cubed ice in a tumbler. Complete with a dehydrated lemon wheel.

Karuizawa 33 Years Old 1981 – Wealth Solution ‘Sumire’ (1 of 6)

An ultra rare bottle of Karuizawa, 1 of only 6 bottles from Wealth Solutions, a respected alternative investment firm based in Poland.

Distilled in 1981 at the legendary closed Japanese distillery, Karuizawa. The whisky was then left to mature for 33 years in an Ex-Sherry cask (# 136) before it was bottled at cask strength in July 2014.

This gem features a stunning gold leaf screen printed label which illustrates Viola Mandshurica or What the Japanese call ‘Sumire’.

Red Hook 24 Years Old Rye – LeNell’s Barrel Proof

Red Hook Rye is a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey which has been aged for 24 years in Warehouse G and bottled at barrel proof.

Back in 2006 when the first barrel of Red Hook was chosen from warehouse G, never was it imaged that just two years later, they would be facing a major shortage of super-aged straight rye whiskey. Samples were sent to LeNell’s to taste some of the precious limited last barrels (so limited in fact that it was from barrels which had originally fallen under the ricks of the warehouse all those years ago), they had decided the taste of the fallen angels were precious and must be bottled.

The future of LeNell’s is exciting and the possibilities are endless with new spirit being made in the stills and left to mature for some time until it is ready to be bottled and revealed to us all.

This bottle has been imported by Nippon Food GMBH, Switzerland.

 Brora 30 Years Old 1972 – The Whisky Shop

A Whisky Shop Exclusive single cask bottling of Brora 30-year-old, distilled March 1972 and filled by Douglas Laing and co. in February 2003. One of only 220 bottles produced.

 Laphroaig 40 Years Old – Natural Cask Strength

An incredibly sought after bottle of Laphroaig. This 40-year-old whisky was the official release which followed the 1960 40 year old which was exclusive to Oddbins.

In 1960, locally grown barley was malted by hand in the distillery’s own maltings. Using the soft peaty water from the Kilbride Dam and peat from the Glenmachrie Moss in March of that year, this unique whisky was produced and put away in the warehouse beside the sea for its long sleep.

This rare and unique whisky was produced and distilled under the care and attention of the legendary Bessie Williamson. Some people say she was the first genuine lady whisky distiller.

During forty years in the warehouse, a percentage of the contents of the casks has been lost in evaporation. This has been replaced by the salt-laden air of the Laphroaig Bay. To produce such a rich, mellow whisky, in such a harsh climate, is something that can only be wondered at.

 Dalmore 1974 – Matusalem Sherry Finesse

Uniquely drawn from a single majestic Spanish oak, sherry butt which formally held 30 year old Matusalem sherries from Jerez De La Frontera. This vintage “Finesse” has fused the citrus orange character of aged Dalmore with an aromatic spicy and dried fruits complexity rarely found today. This layering of aromas and flavours excites the palate resulting in a harmonious single malt whisky.

Distilled on the 15th April 1974, one of only 948 bottles released.
