Exclusive Bottles From Macallan

The Macallan Estate Reserve 45.7% (exclusive to the Macallan visitor centre) – £235.00
Estate reserve is a dram of real character, conjuring up memories of times past. It draws on casks selected for their maximum intensity and depth of flavours, including some small sherry seasoned hogshead casks especially reserved for this expression. Estate reserve is non-chill filtered and bottled at the old-style strength, more commonly known as 20 under. These traditional practices ensure that every ounce of flavour and character is drawn from the cask and captured in the whisky. On the nose, a delightful combination of soft fruits, underlined with notes of ginger, vanilla, fudge and citrus. The palate is rich and fruity with an intense depth of oak wood and spiced orange. The finish is memorably long with sweet citrus and oak wood notes.

The Macallan Select Oak 40% litre (exclusive to the Macallan visitor centre) – £65.99
As renowned masters of spirit and wood, the Macallan have for centuries ensured that its new make spirit is matured only in the finest oak casks and today continue to invest more in their casks than any other single malt.
Select oak’s journey from acorn to glass has taken over 100 years and spanned three cask types. It is a uniquely complex combination of first-fill European oak casks seasoned with sherry, and American oak casks seasoned with either sherry or bourbon. Tasting note: Effortlessly balanced, sweet dried fruits and a hint of spice. The finish is luxuriously long.

From the Springbank Distillery;

Peter Currie will be in the London shop at 26 Chiltern Street on Wednesday, 22nd July with some of the Hazelburn 12 and Springbank 2001 vintage from 11.00 am until 7.00 pm, so if you can manage to come along for a taste, you will be very welcome.

SPRINGBANK 2001 VINTAGE

Nose: Malty, summer fruits. Hints of citrus; lemon meringue pie. Buttery toffee, confectionary and just a hint of spice.
Palate: Wow! What an excellent burst of flavour. Rich and creamy. Honey, vanilla, butterscotch sauce and tropical fruits.
Finish: Smooth with slight hints of smoke and salt. Is this whisky really only eight years old? The small cask maturation has given the whisky a maturity and wisdom well beyond its years.
Availability: Beginning of August, Worldwide but limited
Cost: £38.00 plus p&p

HAZELBURN 12 YEAR OLD

Nose: Incredibly rich, the influence of the sherry casks is immediately apparent. Sweet and chocolatey, there are also notes of apricot, orange marmalade, almonds and marzipan.
Palate: Malty, fruity and elegant. A very well-balanced and rounded dram with hints of oak, figs and nuts.
Finish: A long, lingering fruity sweetness.
AVAILABILITY:  Beginning of August:  Worldwide but Limited
COST: £42.50 plus p&p

Fans of Washington’s Dry Fly Distillery will be very happy when August rolls around. That’s when the craft distillery, famed for its simple and clean vodka and crisp gin will be releasing their first Washington Wheat Whiskey. Since Dry Fly launched back in 2007 they’ve been promising loyal fans a whiskey. The spirit, made with local grains, spent the last two years maturing in charred whiskey barrels. The magic day has finally arrived but retail customers are going to have to act fast. On August 7 stores listed on the Dry Fly website will begin selling whatever product remains after they are done selling to restaurants and bars. The distillery will also sell around 20 cases but caution that they expect to sell out in hours even with a two bottle per person limit.

From Purple Valley Imports;

“St George’s Distillery in Norfolk, England first started producing spirit in December of 2006. They have received much acclaim with their range of “Not yet Whisky”, which is aged for 18 months. We will be will be bringing in a small shipment of their various chapters for Christmas 2009 and will import their first Single Malts in 2010 once they have been released after 3 years in barrel. This is a great addition to our ever growing single malt portfolio and we look forward to letting everyone know that they are available for purchase. Consumers in Alberta and British Columbia will have the first opportunity sometime in late September followed next year by other Canadian provinces and the US.”
