BERRY’S SHERRY CASK MATURED BLENDED MALT WHISKY £31.90

Sherry casks are considered a luxury in Whisky making. These expensive barrels imbue a spirit with distinctive notes of deep fruit, citrus and nuts. Our Classic Sherry Cask Malt is blended from the best Sherry butts to deliver a balanced expression of this uniquely engaging style.

Appearance: Enticingly dark
Bouquet: Sherry prominence with secondary resinous and prune like notes. Invitingly seductive.

Finish: Long, lingering Sherry delight

BERRY’S SPEYSIDE RESERVE BLENDED MALT WHISKY £31.90

Appearance: Golden Syrup
Bouquet: Honeyed fruit, citrus and soft wood
Palate: Creamy citrus, honey, rounded

LINKWOOD 2009 BERRY BRO’S SMALL BATCH NO. 1 £59.00

Linkwood Distillery, founded in 1821, is one of the Speyside’s hidden gems. The original Victorian buildings remain, despite expansion in the 1960s and ’70s. Swans and ducks swim on the distillery waters, which provides cooling water for the condensers.

Linkwood is generally archetypal of the lighter side of Speyside, and this refill hogshead is no exception. The nose is incredibly gentle, offering aromas of peach, banana and melon with a little toasted oak from the cask. This subtle theme continues on the palate; notes of fresh fruit salad and a slight citrusy tanginess create a wonderful interplay with the whisky’s delicate texture. A whiff of smoke emerges on the finish, before waves of baking spice and oak roll in.

Cask: Hogshead
Distilled: 2009
Bottled: 2021

LAWS Whisky House “Barrel Select” K&L Exclusive Cask Strength Single Barrel #508 San Luis Valley Straight Rye Whiskey – American Whiskey News

LAWS Whisky House “Barrel Select” K&L Exclusive Cask Strength Single Barrel #508 San Luis Valley Straight Rye Whiskey (750ml) ($74.99)

LAWS Whisky House is quickly becoming one of the country’s most prominent new craft distillers. Not only have they been able to create an exciting array of excellent whiskies, but they’ve done so following a not altogether common motto in our industry, “there are no shortcuts.” We respect that kind of commitment to quality, and the proof is in the pudding. While their entire line of whiskies offers something special, it is the San Luis Valley Rye that offers the most distinctive and distinguished experience. The powerful flavors of the high-protein heirloom varietal paired with the dry maturation regimen that their Denver warehouses offer creates a unique and truly delicious flavor profile unparalleled by any other craft or legacy distiller. So, when we were offered this OLDER cask strength version of one of our favorite craft ryes, we absolutely had to have it. This awesome barrel was distilled on December 28th, 2015 and bottled just under 5.5 years old on April 30th, 2021. Bottled at cask strength of 58.9% ABV without chill filtration.

David Othenin-Girard | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: June 03, 2021

This delicious single barrel of San Luis Valley Rye is one of the very best craft ryes we’ve yet to try. There’s a huge influx of craft distillers offering rye of various quality and character, but LAWS has found a formula that’s as delicious as it is unique. Using the heirloom varietal of rye grown by farmers in south central Colorado, their Straight Rye is derived from an equal blend of malted and unmalted rye. This semi-wild varietal, now being cultivated exclusively to produce this particular whisky, offers character unlike the industrial ryes grown in Canada and Germany for the rest of the industry. Expect a stupendous mixture of rich salted caramel, a complex bouquet of mints and licorice bark on the nose. On the palate, a vibrant mixture of sweet, earthy oak, bold cacao, tangy green herbs, and burnt Seville orange peel. It’s truly incredible what these guys have managed to achieve in such a short time, and we couldn’t be prouder to be partnered with them.

Mackmyra Swedish Single Malt at Inverurie Whisky Shop – Swedish Whisky News

SWEDISH SINGLE MALT WHISKY

The idea to produce a Swedish whisky was conceived by eight friends in a mountain cabin back in 1998. To ensure they stayed in touch after studying engineering together, the group had a tradition of meeting up in Sälen once a year. This time, purely by chance, everyone had brought along a bottle of whisky. During dinner, one of them wondered why there was no Swedish malt whisky, and, if it was possible, why hadn’t anyone already done it? The question remained unanswered but, before long,the vision to become pioneers and produce the first Swedish malt whisky took shape. One year later, in 1999, Mackmyra Svensk Whisky was established.

WHAT IS A GRAVITY CASK?

The whisky is partly matured in casks with a body of newly emptied bourbon casks and ‘top and tailed’ with fresh Swedish oak from the island Visingsö.

The result is a beautiful blend of the vanilla notes from the bourbon casks and herbal spice from the Swedish oak.
