We’ve got a good-sized Malt Messenger for you here, but perhaps not as big as it could have been. It is also a little later than hoped, but that couldn’t be avoided. Things have been busy at the ol’ KWM homestead, mostly with some behind the scenes projects that will help to streamline our growing business as we transition into the post-Covid era and the long promised “new normal.”

I’m sure a lot of you are wondering about in-store tastings, and when they might resume. Originally we had hoped to start rolling out some events after Easter, but that was before the Dodge Ramming of our front entrance, and the complications that have come from it. They say never say never, and while it is possible that we may be able to offer a limited number of sit down tastings in May or June, we can’t be sure of that right now.

One thing that is for sure, is we have a 30th Anniversary coming up in 5 short weeks and regardless of the upheaval, we are going to celebrate. We are planning a month of events, both ticketed and drop in, including some Wine and Whisky Festivals. More to come on that and our 30th Anniversary in general, in the next Malt Messenger.

There are lots of cool new things in-store, and even more arriving soon. We have new whiskies from Archives, Two Brewers, High Coast, Doc Swinson’s Bourbon Collection, and James Eadie. We also have some returned and ballot bottles from Glengoyne and GlenDronach.

The list of soon-to-arrive whiskies below from Benromach and Gordon & MacPhail is just the tip of the iceberg. It has been a quiet couple of months on the ‘new whiskies’ front, but that is about to change. We are also expecting a shipment of Signatory and Edradour whiskies in the next couple of weeks.

In addition to loads of new whiskies, we are eagerly anticipating a number of new KWM Exclusive Casks from Benromach, Bruichladdich, Daftmill, GlenAllachie, and Tomatin. We also have a stunning bespoke new Compass Box 30th Anniversary Blended Malt, which we created with James Saxon and John Glaser. More on these exciting new exclusives in future Malt Messengers.

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 (but online ordering works too, in fact, it might be faster…).

Sincerely,

Andrew Ferguson

New Whiskies from High Coast Distillery

We have three new whiskies from Sweden’s High Coast Distillery coming in. One is a general release, the two others are Truth Malters bottlings

1. High Coast Solera Single Malt Whisky – 56% – 500ml – ex-Bourbon & Swedish Oak Solera – Producer Tasting Note: “Nose: Oak, nutmeg, vanilla, coconut, ripe pear. Palate: Honey, clove, anis seeds, fudge, green apples. Finish: Vanilla, black pepper.” – $195

Introducing: Doc Swinson’s Collection Bourbon

With warehousing and blending done in Ferndale, Washington, Doc Swinson’s is an NDP (Non-Distiller Producer) that specializes in sourcing Bourbon and Rye Whiskies that are then blended into small (sometimes very small) batches and released under one of three ranges. The bottlings are categorized under Doc Swinson’s Flagship, Exploratory, or Rare Release range. Like many independent bottlers of American Whiskey, the venerable MGP Distillery of Indiana seems to be a key component in many of Doc Swinson’s releases.

1. Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Bourbon – THREE different cask types are used in finishing this Bourbon. Each batch in Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Bourbon series thus far has used MGP Distillery’s 75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley mash bill that is aged then finished in a combination of PX Sherry, Oloroso Sherry, and Cognac casks. After finishing the batch is married together in ex-Cognac Foeders before being bottled at 47.9%. – $108

2. Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Solera Rye – Made from MGP Distillery Rye – and that is a good thing! Doc Swinson’s has started with the exceptional MGP 95% Rye mash bill and blended it together with MGP’s 51% Rye mash bill. Both components are at least five years old before being married into the top row of the Solera system made from casks that previously held rum. The result is a unique take on an American Rye that went south to get a tan and enjoy a Planter’s Punch or three! – $77

3. Doc Swinson’s Blender’s Cut Bourbon – This high-proof Bourbon from Doc Swinson’s is a blend of two high-rye mash bills originally distilled at MGP Distillery of Indiana. The mash bills in question contain 21% and 36% Rye, respectively. The whiskey made is aged for five years before being bottled at a very respectable 57.5%. – $85

4. Doc Swinson’s El Cuerpo Bourbon – Made from barrels of at least 5-year-old Bourbon sourced from MGP Distillery of Indiana before being finished in PX Sherry Butts. The resulting whiskey is bottled at 57% and released in very small batches. – $130

Glengoyne 21 & 25 Year Are Back

But Limited!

I remember a few years back when we could have almost as much of these as we wanted. The secret is out on Glengoyne it seems, with both the 21 and 25 year olds expected to be in short supply in the years ahead. The 21 year is available for purchase, 1 per customer. The 25 year is available by ballot, details below.

1. Glengoyne 21 Year – Formerly the oldest whisky in the distillery’s core range, it is heavily influenced by sherry, matured entirely in first and refill European oak seasoned with sherry. Big, rich and sophisticated malt, bottled at 43%. – $240 – Limit 1 Per Customer!

2. Glengoyne 25 Year – The price has gone up, albeit only a little, especially when compared with the 25 year olds of other distilleries. Bottled at 48%, the whisky is 100% Sherry Oak Matured! – $535 – Available by Ballot

GlenDronach 12 & 15 Year Are Back

But Limited!

It has been at least two years since we last saw the GlenDronach 12 in Alberta. It seems the legal dispute that was tying it up has finally been resolved. We have been getting small allocations of the GlenDronach 15, but they have been limited. The last time we had some we required purchasers to also buy another BenRiach or GlenDronach whisky along with it. We won’t be doing that this time, however, demand will almost certainly exceed supply, so like the Glengoyne 25 year, it will be available by ballot.

1. GlenDronach Original 12 Year – 43% – Producer Tasting Note: “Nose: Sweet, creamy vanilla, with hints of ginger. Spiced mulled wine and pear. Palate: Rich, creamy, silky-smooth. Warm, rich oak and sherry sweetness, full mouth feel, raisins and soft fruits. Spicy with medium length and a dry finish. Conclusion: Long, full and firm, slightly nutty.” – $105 – Limit 1 Per Customer

2. GlenDronach Revival 15 Year – 46% – Producer Tasting Note: “Nose: An intoxicating burst of maraschino cherry, ripe bramble and dark chocolate mint with hints of orange bitters and walnut liqueur. Palate: Honey-glazed apricot and ripe fig with a crescendo of black cherry, angelica and muscovado. Long and enveloping finish with dark manuka honey, herbal bitters and dark chocolate.” – $155 – Available by Ballot!

Introducing: James Eaddie Tade Mark X

Trade Mark X is a Blended Scotch Whisky, created by Rupert Patrick, James Eadie’s great-great grandson, based on the recipe in old ledgers and in comparison with a surviving bottle from the 1940s. The blend includes among other things, whisky from two closed distilleries Littlemill and Cambus. The blend is also composed of whiskies from Talisker, Caol Ila, Lagavulin, Aberlour, and Glendronach.

James Eadie Trade Mark X II – 45.6% – Producer Tasting Note: “Nose: At first, sweet notes of icing sugar and raisins are present, before oily, lightly peated qualities emerge; soot, soft earth and freshly cut hay. Over time, a combination of dark chocolate, sultanas, prunes, marzipan and subtle hints of chili and salt come to the fore. Palate: Spicy flavours of mint chocolate blend in with syrup, plums, prunes and roasted coffee beans. Gentle peat and soft smoke linger in the background, which introduce a delicious juicy quality. Water brings out thick, rich cream and ripe dark cherries. Finish: The finish is long, syrupy and gently spicy, gradually softening to leave subtle, distinctive stone fruit flavours.” – $72
