Now Open for Ordering

The KWM 2022 Whisky Calendar

We wanted you to be the first to know that we are now taking orders for the KWM 2022 Whisky Calendar.

We are a little late getting out this offer, in part we thought we should wait until after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, may she rest in Peace!

But that is only part of the reason. It has been tough pinning down a price on this year’s Calendar. Despite the fact that we ordered many products nearly a year ago, we are still at the mercy of supply chains. So we can only guess at the final range, but fear not no matter what comes in it will be great, we have more than a few gems in reserve.

There is also the matter of inflation, which is so hot right now… It has touched the cost of almost everything including cardboard, glass bottles and yes whisky… You could say all three of those things are rather critical to this project. We have worked hard to keep our costs down, without sacrificing the quality of the product, and feel this year’s Calendar once again offers incredible value!

As with the past couple of years, you have two options to reserve a KWM 2022 Whisky Calendar: the Pre-Pay Early Bird offer, and the full price Pre Order & Pay Later Option.

If you select the Pre-Pay Preorder option, you will save $60!

About the KWM 2022 Whisky Calendar

The KWM Whisky Calendar, aka “25 Days of Dram Fine Whisky”, is back for the 9th straight year. Once again the calendar will have a fresh new look, which will be revealed in a few weeks’ time. 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 1st, or on one of our various social media channels as we introduce and discuss each day’s whisky. And there is more…

Because they were such a big hit the last two years, we will once again be hosting the Whisky Calendar Recap Tastings throughout the month of December. Purchasers and recipients of the KWM 2022 Whisky Calendar will be able to join us for any or all of the 5 virtual tastings on December 5, 10, 15, 20 and after Christmas on the 28th, at 7 PM MT. Each of them will cover the 5 previous day’s whiskies in the Calendar.

We always keep the exact whisky list a secret, there are too few surprises left in this life… but we can tell you this year’s Calendar includes 3 KWM exclusive casks, a couple of whiskies in their 20s, and more than a dozen distilleries and producers never before featured in any of our prior Whisky Calendars. We are confident that we have put together another fantastic Calendar 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 $60… this option was very popular last year, and completely sold out 2020’s original production in just 2 weeks!

We anticipate the KWM 2022 Whisky Advent Calendars should be ready for pick up in early November, that is as long as everything goes as planned… which in the Post-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 2022 Whisky Calendar

Pre-Pay Early Bird Special Offer

Select this option if you wish to save $60 on the regular price of $460, by prepaying now in full (please note this cannot be combined with other offers or discounts). You will be charged $400+gst when we receive your order.

EARLY BIRD PRICING OPTION ENDS ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5th, 2022!

Pay Later / Full-Price Pre-Order

Armorik confirms its status as a pioneer by launching Armorik 15 years old – Breton Whisky News

Whisky Live Paris approaching, Armorik Breton Single Malt Whisky is unveiling two new bottlings. An Armorik 15 years old, which confirms its status as a pioneer and demonstrates the distillery’s know-how in maturing whisky. At the same time, the distillery launches a limited edition of its peated Breton Single Malt, Yeun Elez, bottled at cask strenght and matured in ex-Pineau des Charentes casks.

Armorik 15 years old – Single Malt Breton Whisky

 A few years after the launch of its Armorik 10 yo, the distillery reveals a little more of the numerous possibilities offered by the several thousand casks stored in Lannion, Bretagne.

Being the first permanent 15 years old French Whisky and offered in a limited edition of 1500 bottles every year, this Armorik 15 yo becomes the 2nd bottling of the range with an age statement. It attests to our expertise and knowhow about maturation, for over 20 years.

This Armorik 15 years old has been matured for 9 years in Bourbon casks and transferred to Sherry Oloroso casks for 6 more years. “Armorik 15 years old has acquired with age a sort of elegant, aromatic fullness, while retaining the fruity freshness characteristic of our distillate.”

Bottled at 46%, un-chillfiltered and natural color, it will be sold in France by La Maison du Whisky at around 95 EUR (all taxes included).

ABOUT ARMORIK WHISKY BRETON SINGLE MALT

Armorik was born in Brittany, at the Warenghem distillery. Founded in Lannion in the Côtes d’Armor, on the Pink Granite Coast, our distillery has been independent and family-owned for over 100 years.

We use French barley, water from our own source and a traditional know-how. Our stills are two traditional pot stills. We are committed to creating an exceptional single malt that reflects the Breton character.

In this meeting the Local Review Board will go over Wolfcraig Distillery’s Grounds for Appeal statement and deliver a verdict on its outcome.

The meeting will be held in public and will also be broadcast, which we will send you a link for closer to the time.

As you know, we remain committed to building the home of Wolfcraig in Stirling. We aim to attract new tourists, create career opportunities and boost the local economy through our exciting new Scotch Whisky brand.

We are hopeful of a positive outcome from this meeting in October.

NEW SHOP EXCLUSIVE

We are delighted to introduce our latest exclusive single cask.
This unique, stunning malt was aged for 4 years in a First-Fill Bourbon Cask and charmed us with its sweetness and complexity.

It was bottled at natural cask strength of 63.5% with no chill filtration and no artificial colouring.

NOSE: Caramel, sweet red apples and vanilla.
PALATE: Butterscotch, custard cream and orchard fruits.
FINISH: Soft & silky, creamy texture and mouthfeel.

Lindores Distillery was built on the sight of Lindores Abbey, which was a witness to many important historical events, but most importantly this is where the first ever documented whisky distillation took place. Over 500 years ago King James IV ordered Brother John Cor to distil “Aqua Vitae” – the water of life.

Filmland Spirits Launches Its Initial Collection of Whiskey In The U.S.

The award-winning spirits brand uniquely blends the worlds of film and whiskey together

Los Angeles, CA (September 1, 2022) – Filmland Spirits announces its world premiere in the U.S. market unveiling three core whiskey expressions – “Moonlight Mayhem!” – Bourbon, “Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut” – Cask Strength Bourbon, and “Ryes of the Robots” – Rye Whiskey.

Filmland Spirits is disrupting the industry by creating A Blockbuster in Every Bottle®. Combining its enthusiasm for whiskey, passion for movies and dedication for storytelling, Filmland Spirits aims to bring people together through captivating tales and great tasting spirits. Crafted with a moviemaking mindset, Filmland approaches whiskey production much like the making of a feature film.  The creative team starts with their vision for an original retro B-Movie concept.  This evolves into a script with robots and monsters, heroes and villains and a plot that keeps your mouth watering.

From there, Filmland Spirits designs an original movie poster in pulp-style art consistent with the B-movie genre; this becomes the front label for each expression, a truly unique innovation in the world of spirits. The bottle itself is tall, heavy and distinct and inspired by the world of moviemaking.

Consumers will have the chance to preview each story on the back label which shows a synopsis of the B-movie and the key characters. Those itching to know more about each story can head to the Filmland website to read snippets of the script, view storyboards and even watch an animated trailer! Filmland’s award-winning spirits are sourced from the finest whiskey throughout the U.S. Once “on location” in Kentucky, they are blended to perfection then finished and bottled. Filmland Spirits CEO, Troy Bolotnick, explains more:

“After a lifetime of blending together passions for storytelling, movie-making and whiskey, we are thrilled to invite everyone to the premiere of Filmland Spirits!  I’m incredibly proud of the crew we’ve assembled and all the creativity and skill  that has resulted in our award winning bourbons and rye. They are delicious and fun, outrageous and unique and  I can’t wait for our audience of customers to dim the lights, grab a bottle and enjoy the show!”

Ahead of its launch, Filmland Spirits impressed tastemakers within the spirits industry by winning multiple awards at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Filmland took home two gold medals; one for its small batch cask strength straight bourbon – “Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut” – and one for its small batch straight rye whiskey – “Ryes of the Robots”. Its small batch straight bourbon expression – “Moonlight Mayhem!” – received a silver medal. Not only are these medals a testament to the quality of each whiskey, but also debut the team’s superior blending skills. We can expect to see this applied to future expressions as the collection expands.

Consumers who wish to purchase “Moonlight Mayhem!” – Bourbon (SRP: $54.99), “Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut” – Cask Strength Bourbon  (SRP: $79.99) and “Ryes of the Robots” – Rye Whiskey (SRP: $59.99) will be able to pick up a bottle at  select spirits stores in California and Kentucky. Filmland Spirits are also available for purchase via their website and select e-commerce retailers, and can be shipped to a large number of states in the U.S. For additional information about Filmland Spirits please visit www.filmlandspirits.com and be sure to follow Filmland Spirits on Instagram

About Each Whiskey Expression

The first expression in Filmland Spirits core whiskey lineup, “Moonlight Mayhem!” –  Bourbon is a small batch straight bourbon whiskey aged in a white American Oak casks for 4+ years. This 94 proof whiskey is delicious and sweet, with notes of cherry and citrus on the nose, vanilla and caramel on the tongue and an intricate finish of toffee and toasted oak. Emphasizing versatility, this Bourbon can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail. Consumers will be delighted and terrified by the Moonlight Mayhem! story: the Romeo and Juliet inspired saga is set in a post-modern world where werewolves are the dominant species on planet earth. Consumers will wonder if hero Tommy Dawson and Slyvane Saxon, his shape-shifting carnivorous girlfriend, can protect their love from disapproving families and dangerous foes? Or if she will be unable to resist sinking her teeth into the delicious snack that is her sweetheart? Consumers curious to learn more about Moonlight Mayhem! can head to the brand website to read pages of the script, see storyboards and watch the movie trailer.

Like classic films that get the extended cut treatment, Filmland Spirits second core expression “Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut” – Cask Strength Bourbon is a small batch straight bourbon just like “Moonlight Mayhem!”. It is also aged in white American Oak casks for 4+ years, but comes in at a proof of 115. This cask-strength bourbon has special notes and flavors one wouldn’t experience with the regular strength: it keeps consumers on the edge of their seats with twists and turns of cherry and chocolate on the nose and tongue, a spectacularly creamy mouthfeel and an endless finish of cacao, leather and applewood. Enjoyed neat or with a drop of water, this expression will surely delight consumers. Just like the original story, Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut continues the saga between Tommy Dawson and Slyvane Saxon but with the inclusion of deleted scenes from the original script, making for an extra rich story. Consumers yearning to learn more about Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut can visit the brand website to read pages of the script, see storyboards and preview the movie trailer.

Filmland Spirits third expression – “Ryes of the Robots” – Rye Whiskey – is a small batch straight rye whiskey aged in white American Oak barrels for 4+ years. This complex 94 proof rye whiskey has spicy notes of cinnamon and clove on the nose, mint and pepper on the tongue and a long chocolatey finish with subtle hints of oak. Best served neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail, this rye is sure to please whiskey fans who prefer a bit of zest in their dram. Like the whiskey itself, the Ryes of the Robots story provides a spicy take on the world’s future. In the aftermath of the Automation Wars of 3050, the world rejects technology and embraces a simpler time where cocktail clubs are the new state houses and bartenders hold sway.

When a fallen technology titan builds an army of robotic bartenders to conquer the world, the only hope is Courtney Winters, the Cocktail Consortium’s number one bartender. Can she fend off this despotic army of mechanized mixologists or will this be the world’s unhappiest hour?!

Consumers curious to learn more about the Ryes of the Robots can head to the brand website to read pages of script, see storyboards and watch the movie trailer.
