Glen Scotia 2013 (Bottled 2021 Exclusively for Dom Whisky) / 58,1% / 0,7l

In 2021 Dom Whisky Jastrzębia Góra celebrated its twelfth Anniversary. Founded in 2009 in the picturesque coastal village, the place earned cult status right from the day one. Dom Whisky is a mandatory destination for anybody even slightly interested in “water of life”; our patrons often call it “a whisky temple” (the description we are proud of). Our selection features several thousand whisky expressions from all over the world. To commemorate our anniversary we selected a barrel of whisky from the distillery located in the smallest whisky production region in Scotland, formerly known as ‘Whiskypolis”. Our choice was Glen Scotia, whisky distilled in October 2013 and aged in bourbon barrel and finished for 12 months in second fill Demerara Rum barrel # 20/329-1. The whisky was bottled unfiltered at natural strength of 58.1% abv in May 2021 with an outrun of only 276 bottles. We believe you will enjoy our anniversary dram. Slàinte Mhath!

Nose: Caribbean meets Campbeltown, pineapple, coconut flakes, bananas, sultanas, salted caramel, vanilla, candied ginger and a dash of pepper.

Palate: follows the nose, rum-soaked raisins, grilled pineapple, papaya, banana bread, vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, hints of ginger and oak.

Finish: fairly long, with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, sweet pastries, cinnamon, ginger, hints of cocoa and oak.

About Dom Whisky:

This place is an expression of our great love for the tradition that has developed around the peculiarities and character of whiskey. Dom Whisky is not only a place of worship. First there is passion, and only then taste, aroma and color follows. You can believe that we put our heart into it. Opened in 2009 in Jastrzeba Góra (small village by the sea in Poland), built on  a Scottish distillery pattern, and finished with a slate and pagoda, offers over 2000 bottles to choose and since the beggining it developed to a few branches of whisky bars in Sopot with over 700 bottles, Warsaw with over 3500 bottles, and Wrocław with 1000 botlles of Aqua vitae.

Empire Rye Batch 1, 2 Year Old , 50%

A world premiere with our first batch of Blended Empire Rye! This is a 2 Year Old, a release of just 623 bottles at 50% abv.  In 2015, six leading New York State distilleries banded together to create a consortium dedicated to establishing a whiskey style for the Empire State. This whiskey was to be as distinctive, precisely crafted, and held to as high a standard as any of the illustrious whiskey styles in the world. Empire Rye was born–an homage to New York State’s pre-Prohibition rye whiskey-making heritage and a testament to the ingenuity and industriousness of its contemporary distillers. Each distiller’s bottling of Empire Rye is crafted in accordance with the same exacting specifications and yet each is given ample space to express their creativity. It’s aim is to make the category of Empire Rye known throughout the world. This blend consists of 9 distilleries. All of them from New York State, and all of them specifically Empire Rye. Nobody has ever blended a selection of Empire Rye before, so what an opportunity to herd nine distilleries, arguably competitors, to unite and promote their Standard of Identity! We’re very proud that we were able to get these nine distilleries to work with us, allowing us to bring you this first ever Blended Empire Rye. This flight includes a a 15ml measure of all 9 Ryes + a 30ml dram of the Empire Rye Batch 1.

Two American Oak Second Fill
Single Cask Whiskies
TD0059 & TD0198

Our next release will be a pair of American oak second fill single cask whiskies, TD0059 & TD0198. Admired for their softer cask presence, second fill casks allow more of the spirit and character of the distillery to shine. For Sullivans Cove, it’s the tropical fruits and biscuity malt flavours that come to the fore, creating balanced, complex and moreish whiskies.

Both whiskies will be available to purchase via ballot on Tuesday 7^th of September.  A further note will be sent on Tuesday 11:00am Hobart time with a link to enter the ballot (Visit our website to be added to our email list!).

American Oak Second Fill TD0059

“This is an absolute CRACKER. Just delightful. It glides through the nose and across the palate effortlessly (channeling some strong Tao Te Ching vibes in its effortless living). It’s full, present in itself (doesn’t come and go), delicious and good for the soul.”
– Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager

TD0059 was matured for 15 years and 5 months in a single, 300L American oak cask previously used to mature one of our American Oak whisky releases. It yielded just 414 bottles.

American Oak Second Fill TD0198

“Excellent complexity and narrative. Transitions are spot on. A lovely chocolaty expression of malt!”
– Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager

TD0198 was matured for 13 years and 8 months in a single, 300L American oak cask, yielding only 424 bottles. The cask had previously been used to mature one of our American Oak ex-Tawny releases.

The KWM 2021 Whisky Calendar

About the KWM 2021 Whisky Calendar

The KWM Whisky Calendar, aka “25 Days of Dram Fine Whisky”, is back for the 8th straight year. Once again the calendar will have a fresh new look, which we will be revealing in late September. This year’s calendar includes 24 50ml premium whiskies, a custom logo Glencairn glass, and a 100ml Scotch Malt Whisky Society whisky for Christmas Day. You can follow along on the KWM Blog starting December 1, or one of our various social media channels as we introduce and discuss each day’s whisky. And there is more…

Last year, inspired by Covid and the rise of Zoom events, we held 5 Whisky Calendar Recap Tastings throughout the month of December. They were such a big hit, that we knew we’d have to bring them back again this year. Accordingly we will hold tastings for participants on December 5, 10, 15, 20 and after Christmas on 29th. Each of them will cover the 5 prior day’s whiskies in the Calendar.

The whiskies this year include 3 KWM exclusive casks, a number of whiskies in their 20s, and more than a dozen distilleries and producers never before featured in any of our prior Whisky Calendars. We also worked hard to keep the pricing as reasonable as we possibly could this year, which wasn’t easy. Prices have been rising across the board, and supply chain issues have affected everything from the availability of glass and cardboard to delays in shipping and bottling. Never the less we are confident that we have put together another amazing product this year, and we know you are going to love it!

Best of all, if you select the pre-pay preorder option, you will save $50… this option was very popular last year, and completely sold out 2020’s original production in just 2 weeks!

We anticipate the KWM 2021 Whisky Advent Calendars should be ready for pick up in early November, that is as long as everything goes as planned… which in the Covid Era you can never be 100% sure of. But we’ve planned accordingly, and ordered early from all of our suppliers!

Two Options to Order the KWM 2021 Whisky Calendar

1. Pre-Pay Early Bird Special Offer – Select this option if you wish to save $50 on the regular price of $435, by prepaying now in full (please note this cannot be combined with other offers or discounts). You will be charged $375+gst when we receive your order.

2. Pay Later Pre-Order – If you want to reserve a KWM 2021 Whisky Calendar and pay the full price of $435+gst later, please select this option to submit your order, and you will not be charged until a few days before it is ready for pick-up.

Please order online if you can (using links above), or by phone at 403-283-8000 if you can’t.

As always, in the event of a discrepancy in price, the point of sale at KWM will be taken as correct. Please don’t hesitate to email me with any questions, comments, or requests.
