K&L Exclusive Cask: A Coveted Islay Malt Makes a Triumphant Return
Kilchoman “K&L Exclusive” Ex-Bourbon Barrel Aged STR Finished Cask Strength Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
(750ml) ($149.99)
“This ex-Bourbon, STR-finished cask delivers so much value for the Islay lover.”
— Andrew Whiteley, K&L Spirits Buyer

As Kilchoman’s star has risen dramatically over the past five years, we’ve been hard-pressed to source any single casks from this incredible Islay distillery. But we’re thrilled to say, this exceptional new arrival has more than made up for the extended hiatus. Produced by one of the most exciting and innovative distilleries in Islay, this cask is nothing short of heavenly. Aged in a first-fill Bourbon barrel and finished in a shaved, toasted, and recharred Portuguese red wine cask, this is big and bold yet remarkably polished and refined for the level of outright intensity that it conveys on both the nose and the palate. Luxurious fruits and spices give way to an incredibly assertive smoky character, culminating in a “long and mesmerizing” finish. K&L spirits buyer Andrew Whiteley notes, “This whisky is the complete whole, with no hard edges to be found.” Like all of our hand-selected single casks, this one is highly limited. Factor in the pent-up demand for something we haven’t seen in years, and you can be sure that avid collectors will act quickly and decisively to secure their bottles before it disappears.

Andrew Whiteley | K&L Spirits Buyer | Review Date: June 14, 2022

It’s been so long since we’ve had a Kilchoman cask to call our own. This ex-Bourbon, STR-finished cask delivers so much value for the Islay lover. It’s an incredible mix of caramelized fruits, mostly of the apple and pear varieties, mixed with intense applewood-smoked bacon, freshly cracked barley, dark roasted cocoa and coffee, tangy molasses BBQ sauce, sweet spices, and a faint suggestion of floral nectar. The palate is jammed with baking spices ranging from nutmeg, cinnamon, and mace to vanilla, allspice, and raw brown sugar. There isn’t a hard edge to be found here. It’s sweet and sultry, pinging back and forth between meaty, sweet, and a touch of savory. There is a prickly but sweet spice, like a Habanada pepper (the mutant Habanero with no heat, just all fruitiness), and yet something piquant about it. The smoke washes over you in waves. It moves from a raging bonfire to a wafting pizza oven in a flash. The whisky shows off a ton of vanilla and a touch of tropical coconut. The finish is long and mesmerizing. The whisky is a complete whole, with no hard edges to be found. With the addition of water, it doesn’t lose an ounce of intensity, but it does lose that piquant edge, giving way to a soft and supple texture that fans of smooth whisky will die for.

A K&L Exclusive Cask Debut from a Bourbon Powerhouse
Angel’s Envy “K&L Exclusive” Cask #2665 Private Select Port Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon (750ml) ($89.99)
“This is it! This is the profile we want from Angel’s Envy.”
— Andrew Whiteley, K&L Spirits Buyer

Our latest epic exclusive cask comes from one of the hottest names in arguably the hottest spirits category in the market right now. This Kentucky distiller has found a fanatical following over the last ten years for crafting some of the biggest, boldest whiskeys out there, so we were ready to jump at any chance to get our hands on an exclusive single cask. When we finally thought we had one, a mix-up at the distillery resulted something unexpected in the form of Cask #2665. While it’s not what we originally selected, it’s most likely better, so count this as a big win. And although it’s not technically cask proof, its quintessentially boisterous nature makes it drink like a bigger whiskey than it is. More importantly, it’s everything Angel’s Envy fans are looking for. As spirits buyer Andrew Whiteley notes, “It’s big, it’s sweet, it’s intensely concentrated, and most importantly for anything finished in port barrels, it’s clean.” Profound bourbon spices and maple character ring across the entire profile, and despite it being “only” 110 proof, a few drops of water bring out the full kaleidoscopic panoply of flavors and aromas, resulting in a whiskey that defies individual descriptors. Our first go at an Angel’s Envy cask had some real twists and turns, but the story ends with a most incredible (yet highly limited) bourbon that every collector will want to get their hands on.

Angel’s Envy “K&L Exclusive” Cask #2665 Private Select Port Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon (750ml) ($89.99)

K&L Notes: Mistakes happen. No one is immune. The real test comes down to what you do when you make one. Angel’s Envy showed the utmost in integrity after the mix-up here at K&L. Barrel #2665 is the glorious replacement for the infamous #4018 cask. If you weren’t involved from ordering one and the subsequent refund, you may not know, but #4018 was never supposed to enter the door at K&L—it wasn’t the type of cask we were looking for, and it most definitely wasn’t the cask we ordered. However, Angel’s Envy went out of their way to make things right. Unfortunately, our originally selected cask ended up in another store somewhere else in the country, so we weren’t able to get that one, but in the end things worked out in our (and our customers’) favor. Angel’s Envy rushed us an epic set of cask samples and scheduled a personal zoom with Kyle Henderson to walk through each barrel and make our selection. Despite all of the samples being superlatively good, cask #2665 stood out above the top-notch field. We bottled at the highest available ABV of 55% (they protect the cask-strength bottling for the highly limited official CS release), but in truth, it opens up dramatically with a few drops of water anyway, so be sure to add some!

Andrew Whiteley | K&L Spirits Buyer | Review Date: June 10, 2022

This is it! This is the profile we want from Angel’s Envy. It’s big, it’s sweet, it’s intensely concentrated, and most importantly for anything finished in port barrels, it’s clean. Robust, but not a fruit bomb. The spice of the bourbon stands proud, helped along by the maxed-out (and just a few points shy of true cask strength) 110-proof bottling. While we fought hard to leave it at full proof, it just simply wasn’t in the cards. The nose is a bit dusty in that beautiful old Kentucky way. It’s almost gummy on the palate, like a hard candy chew, as red fruits shine through, especially cherries and plums. There is a sweet bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup profile that threads from start to finish. If you add a touch of water (and for all my kvetching about proof point, I recommend you do anyway), the oils come out beautifully, and the whiskey opens in dramatic fashion. It becomes an integrated whole rather than a bunch of individual tasting notes. It’s now something to pick apart sip by sip and enjoy pour after pour. All in all, we won out in this quest to get our “first” Angel’s Envy cask here by winding up with Cask #2665 on our shelves.

The Peaks Whiskey Glasses Take Whiskey Drinkers to New Heights

Tour the world with friends on your next whiskey night. The Peaks Whiskey Glass set by Liiton introduces four new destinations to add to your collection. Whiskey lovers can visit Mont Blanc, Denali, K2 and Fuji while enjoying their favorite premium single malt or blend.

Whiskey fans are enthusiast about the news. Not only has The Peaks Whiskey Glass smashed through its Kickstarter goal in less than 24 hours, it has surpassed the same-day goal set by its predecessor, the Everest Whiskey Glass.”

You spoke and we listened,” says Liiton founder Peng Lin. “During our Everest campaign, you asked for more mountains and so we’re delivering four peaks in this collection. We couldn’t be more pleased to bring whiskey fans the glasses they have been clamoring for.”

With the Peak Whiskey Glass set, Liiton is offering whiskey fans who missed out on the Everest Kickstarter Campaign to be first to jump on board for their newest premium whiskey drinking experience. More than 13,000 whiskey lovers backed the Everest Whiskey Glass.

“If you thought our Everest project was ambitious, we went to new heights to design four new, true-to-scale replicas of these four iconic mountains.” says Lin of the collection.

Here are just a few features of the Peaks Whiskey Glass:

Power in your Palm

Precision-crafted Peaks Whiskey Glasses are the only tumblers to feature a true-to-scale 3D glass carving of these breathtaking mountains.

Chill-Charge System™

The glass sculpture of each mountain embedded within the whiskey glass charges up with cold to chill your drink, evenly distributing it throughout the whiskey without watering down the beverage for the cleanest unadulterated whiskey experience.

Unlocks Aromatics

The Peaks Whiskey Glass offers the optimal expression of whiskey flavors by gently and naturally releasing the aromatic compounds of your whiskey through interaction with each mountain carving.

Stronger. Faster. More whiskey flavor.

Each glass in The Peaks Whiskey Glass collection is made from X1 Crystalline, a proprietary glass tested over hundreds of days. It chills drinks quicker, and it offers more durability and the most pristine aromatic whiskey flavors available.

The Peak Whiskey Glasses Set is live on Kickstarter now. Learn more now about it here.

Barton Distillery 1792 “Full Proof” K&L Exclusive Single Barrel #7393 Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) $54.99 View

Barton’s Full Proof is widely regarded as one of the best deals coming out KY today. Add to that the intensity of a K&L selected single barrel and you’ve got a recipe for success. We ordered this bad boy ages ago, but it’s finally here. 3 bottle limit/household will be strictly enforced.

I.W. Harper 15 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) 94 $89.99 View

We had the distinct pleasure of selecting this cask at the incredible Frey Ranch in Nevada back in February. It is a marvelous visit and if you ever find yourself in Reno or the Tahoe area, it is not a far drive and it is well worth the trip. Truly estate produced and with an impeccable attention to detail at every turn, these casks are superlatively good. It was simultaneously one of the hardest and easiest barrel picks we’ve done. Insanely hard because every cask put in front of us was a knockout. Easy, becuase we couldn’t go wrong. In the end cask 938 came home with us becuase it was just a touch punchier than the others with a massive 134.1 proof. Undoubtedly this barrel won’t stick around long.

Invergordon 1991 30YO

A stunning bottling of Invergordon, bottled exclusively for TyndrumWhisky.com. Coming in the XOP Black range by Douglas Laing.  A huge thanks to Douglas Laing for making this happen, one of the first, if not THE first retailer to get the XOP BLACK . . . Our logo makes it taste even better! This Invergordon is a Vintage 1991, and aged for 30 years before being bottled in April 2022.

Finish: Lingers with a tangy character – orange rind and lemon drops – balanced by creamy cereal and allspice.

One of only 134 bottles available.
A Bottling from one single Refill Hogshead.

Yellow Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (750ml) 

$109.99 View

 Aged in former bourbon, sherry and Malaga casks, look for a deep orange-gold hue and inviting baked-pear aroma. The robust, spiced palate offers brown sugar, honey, golden raisins and vanilla-tinged baked pear. (KN)  (3/2017)

Whisky Advocate

 It works like this: triple distilled single pot still whiskey matured in bourbon, sherry, and Malaga casks, which produce a complex drink with aromas of red fruits, spice, nutmeg-dusted custard tarts, blossom honey, dried raspberry, clotted cream, cracked black pepper, and sweet flowering jasmine. The sweetness and nutmeg flavors are swallowed up by an overwhelming force of clove, with a finish of bitter nut oils and burnt toast. (JM, Winter 2018) 

K&L Notes

The big brother to the illustrious Green Spot, the Yellow Spot is an older edition at 12 years of age and uses whiskies aged in bourbon, sherry, and Spanish Malaga barrels. The result is a sweeter expression with plenty of dried fruits and creaminess on the palate. A true showstopper!

We have three exciting new tastings to fill you in on, and a new KWM Bourbon Cask to boot, so we thought we’d better get a quick newsletter out to share the news. Two of the tastings, one each in-store and virtual, are to celebrate the launch of our Kensington Wine Market 30th Anniversary Blend, so I’ve included a teaser on that too, even though we won’t be launching it until the 13th.

The Compass Box tastings will feature not just our 30th Anniversary Blend, but also the KWM 25th Anniversary Blend from 2017. They will also be your only opportunity to sample, and enter the ballot to purchase two other Compass Box releases, the Vellichor and Experimental Grain. Our allocation of both of these whiskies is small, so we have decided to reward participants in the tastings with an opportunity to purchase the bottles.

We have also got an Elixir Distillers tasting coming up next month. Our friend Celine Tetu will be joining us live from Scotland to sample through 7 Single Malts of Scotland whiskies, including the 4 new KWM single casks. Participants in the tasting will also have an opportunity to enter a ballot to purchase a SMOS Ben Nevis 1997.

In new whisky news, we have a new exclusive Bourbon cask. The Woodford Reserve Double Oaked KWM Cask is our first ever exclusive from the Woodford Distillery, and it arrived in-store today…

Finally, another new Scottish single malt has hit our shores, the Lochlea First Release. This Lowland single malt, bottled at 46% is made with estate-grown barley at the farm distillery. One curious fact, Lochlea was home to Robert Burns during his formative years.

As always, in the event of a discrepancy in price, the point of sale at KWM will be taken as correct.

I hope you enjoy this Malt Messenger Bulletin. Wishing you a safe and Happy Canada Day!

Sincerely,

Andrew Ferguson

INTRODUCING: THE WOODFORD RESERVE DOUBLE OAKED KWM BOURBON CASK

Our first ever exclusive Woodford Reserve Bourbon has just arrived, a Double Oaked single barrel. Woodford has long been one of my favourites of the legacy Bourbon makers, possibly because they distill in copper pot stills, and employ a sour mash. I’ve always thought of the Double Oaked as the Scotch drinker’s Bourbon!

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked KWM Cask – 45.2% – Finished in a New Heavily Toasted Lightly Charred Barrel – Cask #10042515 – My Tasting Note: “Nose: nutty, goat’s milk dark chocolate, polished oak and vanilla; caramel tarts and buttery pecan pie; brandy-soaked cherries and orange peel. Palate: more brandy-soaked cherries, and singed orange peel, with bitters… is this an Old Fashioned? loads of toasted oak, vanilla, and more of that game-y goat’s milk dark chocolate; still nutty too, with figs in honey and grilled dates. Finish: warming and spicy with lovely aromatics; both citrus and dark fruits; sweet, toasty and chocolatey. Comment: this is my kind of Bourbon, not too woody, but packed with aromatics and fruits; why go to the trouble of mixing an Old Fashioned, with all the added sugars, when you have this? Just pour it in a glass and serve; whether to add an ice cube is up to you!” – $100

COMING SOON: THE COMPASS BOX KWM 30TH ANNIVERSARY BLEND

I’m not going to go into the usual amount of detail on this exciting new Blended Malt just yet. Let’s save that (and my tasting note) for the next full Malt Messenger. But I do want to tease its pending release, which will be Wednesday, July 13, coinciding with the in-store launch tasting for the product. We have both In-Store (July 13) and Virtual (July 29) Launch Tastings planned, and open for registration now. Details below.

In the meantime, we are taking pre-orders, limited to 2 bottles per customer, and here is what John Glazer, Compass Box Founder & Whisky Maker had to say about the whisky:

“The city and the wilderness: two compelling spaces for the imagination to wander around. And few spots combine the appeal of both like Calgary in Alberta, Canada. Here you can find metropolitan comforts, but with something of a Wild West mentality. We have chosen to reflect this dualism through the whisky you hold in your hand, created with Andrew Ferguson of Kensington Wine Market to celebrate the store’s 30th Anniversary.

“Pour a glass and experience a whole basket of ripe peaches and golden apples from the farmers’ market, flavours delivered by single malts from the Mortlach and Teaninich distilleries, aged in active American oak barrels. They duke it out with the whiskies from the Caol Ila and Ardbeg distilleries, single malts from Scotland’s wild west coast. Like a ranger from the mountains, they stride into town with the scent of campfire on their clothes.

“Lush and fruity; complex and smoky – the city skyline and the Rocky mountains brought together in one whisky. Whether or not you are able to beat a path to Calgary in 2022, we hope you will join us in toasting Kensington Wine Market and 30 years committed to bringing delicious wines and spirits to Canada.

“John Glaser, Founder & Whiskymaker, Compass Box”

Compass Box KWM 30th Anniversary Blend – 49% – The whisky is composed of 37%* 20 year old Caol Ila, 30%* 20 year old Teaninich, 23%* 19 year old Mortlach, and 10%* 17 year old Ardbeg from Recharred, first-fill and refill American oak casks. – $195 – Limit 2 Per Customer – Pre-Order Now! 

*Funny story about the recipe for this whisky, it has a margin of error… more on that in the next Malt Messenger!

COMPASS BOX WHISKIES YOU CAN’T BUY… UNLESS…

We have just received two Compass Box whiskies, both in very small quantities. While we’d love to get everyone who wants one a bottle of each, we can’t. Especially with respect to the Vellichor. So rather than do a broad-based ballot, we will only be offering them to participants in one of our two Compass Box KWM 30th Anniversary Launch Tastings, listed below under New Tastings!

Here are the details on those whiskies you can’t buy unless you take part in a tasting!

1. Compass Box Vellichor – 44.6% – Producer Description: “‘Vellichor’ is a new word and refers to the aromatic atmosphere within second-hand bookshops. For this project, we have combined complex and impressively mature whiskies from renowned distilleries, as well as parcels of blends that have been aged for many years in ex-Sherry butts, to encapsulate this unique fragrance.” – Producer Tasting Note: “Hints of leather, polished furniture and the crackling dustiness of decades-old pages on the nose. The palate is stacked with sumptuous malty notes, tropical fruit and Sherry character, with a delicate but persistent peatiness. ” – $700 – Only Available by Ballot To Tasting Participants!

2. Compass Box Experimental Grain – 46% – Producer Description: “We have used a special parcel of whisky made at the Loch Lomond Distillery from peated malted barley, distilled in their copper Coffey still. Despite this being 100% malted barley, the use of a column rather than a pot still during distillation means this cannot be classified as a single malt – it is the perfect spirit around which to build a unique blended grain Scotch whisky. ” – Producer Tasting Note: “An appetising aroma of contrasts: banana and toffee mingle with soft, savoury barbecue smokiness and hints of rum and raspberry. Enjoy a soft and oily palate of almond and vanilla before a curiously delicious flavour of burnt pine cones develops.” – $155 – Only Available by Ballot To Tasting Participants!

INTRODUCING: LOCHLEA SINGLE MALT

Lochlea is an independent, family-owned farm distillery, in the Lowlands of Scotland. Historically, the farm was home to a young Robert Burns from 1777-1784, where he both lived and worked. The distillery’s whisky is made with its own barley, and its manager should be familiar: John Campbell, formerly distillery manager at Laphroaig.

Lochlea First Release Single Malt – 46% – First Fill ex-Bourbon & Pedro Ximenez Sherry Casks – Producer Tasting Note: “Nose: Bursting with fresh orchard fruit, apple, zesty orange, and pear drops. Some brown sugar, toffee, and vanilla fudge in the background. Palate: Rich and sweet, with burnt caramel and hazelnuts. Plenty of stewed fruit and now some toasted oats, cinnamon and clove coming through. Finish: Medium mouth coating, holding on to that fresh fruit, cereal sweetness and gentle spice.” – $88
