Saturday, September 10th, 1 PM – 5 PM

Local Spirits: Glyph Molecular Whiskey

Come by for this spotlight tasting of Glyph Molecular Whiskey. the first whiskey made from the molecule up. To make Glyph, distillery Endless West begins by mapping out a desired flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel, then selecting the exact molecules from sources like fruit, citrus, yeasts, and sugars to build their spirit, eschewing traditional aging and distilling methods to create a delicious whiskey in record time. The results are then hand-bottled in the historic Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, just a few miles away from The Whisky Shop.

GlenAllachie Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Present Edition
16 Year Old

£280.00

Bottle Notes:

This sophisticated and rare single malt represents Billy’s present, where he is avidly implementing an incredibly innovative cask management policy. Mizunara is a very scarce and expensive species of Japanese oak seldom used for whisky maturation. It’s a tricky oak to cooper due to its inclination to leak as well as its tendency to twist as it grows, posing a challenge for stave production. This means the trees must grow to be around 200 years old before being felled; twice the age of most oaks used for casks. After a complex two-step maturation journey in Sherry and Mizunara casks, the subsequent liquid is abundant with toasted nuts, stem ginger, grilled banana and coconut shavings.

Daftmill 15 Year Old Cask Strength

£165.00

Bottle Notes:

Daftmill 15-year-old Cask Strength has been assembled from a relatively large batch of 28 first fill ex-bourbon barrels filled in 2006 – only a year after production began at the distillery, and the same vintage as the first Daftmill Summer/Winter releases and single cask bottlings that electrified the whisky world in 2018-19.

Cask Type: 1st Fill Bourbon

Distilled: 2006 Bottled: 2022

Limited: 5340 Bottles

55.7% ABV

American Oak ex-Tawny TD0309

Tomorrow we release an American oak ex-Tawny, TD0309.

TD0309 is a testament to the ultra high standards we set ourselves at Sullivans Cove.

In March of 2021, TD0309 scored very highly with the Sullivans Cove tasting panel, so we began watching it closely. It was then assessed on 9 different occasions between April 9 2021 and February 8 2022. Each of these 9 times, the panel was blown away by the flavour and texture of this rich American oak ex-Tawny, but it hadn’t quite reached its full potential.

Until now.

16 months since that first high score, and the scales have finally balanced for TD0309. We are generous with our time at Sullivans Cove, and we track our casks extremely closely because we want to catch them when they reach their absolute peak.

Until the panel is unanimous, we will not decant.

American Oak ex-Tawny: TD0309

Storm clouds of Dutch cocoa powder loom over an engine oil ocean – this is a whisky with serious backbone and a broad, rich flavour profile.

Sullivans Cove spirit, brought to you in the wrappings of toasty Australian Tawny, and 13.5 years of careful maturation. Both of these fighters refuse to go down, and the bell just keeps tolling.

13.5 years old, matured in a 300L first-fill American oak ex-Tawny cask, TD0309 yielded just 439 bottles.
