World Exclusive Launch of Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby Reserve in Singapore

The Whisky Corporation introduces a brace of rare luxury whiskies from the family-owned distillery as part of its growing connoisseur and investment portfolio

Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby Reserve Limited Edition Silver Release, 700ml

Singapore, 12 December 2016 – In a world premiere, whisky investment specialists, The Whisky Corporation, announced it is bringing the critically acclaimed Glenfarclas Pagoda Reserve series, a spectacular collection of ultra-bespoke single malt whiskies from the Glenfarclas distillery in Speyside, Scotland, here to the Singapore market.

The breath-taking collection, launched locally by George Grant, sixth generation distillery director at Glenfarclas alongside leading whisky industry experts around the region, is destined to be one of the most sought-after releases to hit the Asian market to date, and indeed the world.

Glenfarclas Pagoda Reserve Trilogy features three distinct Glenfarclas vintages: the 43-year-old, 48-year-old and 59-year-old, each bottled in beautiful hand-blown Glencairn crystal decanters and topped with a handcrafted, unique magnetic pagoda-shaped stopper in brass, silver and gold finishes.

“With only 100 traditional 700ml sets produced, just 10 1.5-litre magnum sets and a collector’s edition of only 30 silver magnums, it is well-known within the industry these whiskies are extremely rare. Due to the massive pre-order demand prior to its release, only 10 sets will be made available to the market in December. All of the magnums and a total of 90 Trilogies were secured by collectors and those in the know some time ago,” said Ben Morley, Chief Operating Officer, The Whisky Corporation.

“We have seen a huge amount of interest in rare and fine whiskies within Asia through our offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and our most recent expansion in Singapore. As such, we’re concentrating on strategic growth in these key markets where savvy investors are looking to diversify their investment

portfolios, and catering to connoisseurs looking for exceptional and limited edition whiskies to add to their collections.”

Recognising Singapore’s importance in the global market for single malt whisky, the region was also selected above Hong Kong or China as the destination of choice to launch the newest addition to the Pagoda Reserve series, Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby Reserve. Aged for 62 years, it is the oldest whisky ever to be released by the Glenfarclas Distillery.

The limited edition Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby Reserve, named in homage to the Glenfarclas distillery’s distinct facade, features citrus notes and an eloquently rich coating with slight sweetness providing exceptional balance, a signature of its era of production. Presented in fine Glencairn crystal, the Pagoda Ruby Reserve comes adorned with its namesake, a ruby pagoda-shaped stopper.

To maintain the whisky’s uniqueness and rarity, the 329-litre Pagoda Ruby Reserve 1954 single cask will be launched under two releases; a Limited Edition Silver and Collector’s Edition Gold. The Silver release will see 180 700ml bottles and 62 Magnum 1.5-litre bottles available to the market. The Collector’s Edition will feature only 50 bottles available each in 700ml and 50 magnums of the Collector’s Edition with Gold.

“The whisky investment landscape is incredibly buoyant and those who have bought the most exclusive whiskies have yielded exceptional returns in recent years. By working with key distilleries such as Glenfarclas to offer limited edition and exclusive collections including the Pagoda series, we provide our clients with access to some of the most sought after and finest collectable whiskies available globally,” added Morley.

As Asia’s recognised specialists in single malt investment, The Whisky Corporation’s Singapore base works closely with its panel of whisky specialists, including ‘Keeper of the Quaich’ Stephen Notman, in guiding Singaporean clients and sourcing for exclusive fine whiskies.

Established in Hong Kong in 2008, the Whisky Corporation specialises in creating bespoke single malt whisky portfolios and exclusive private releases from Scotland’s most famous distilleries.

1995 Glenburgie 21 Year Old K&L Exclusive “Signatory” Single Barrel Cask Strength – Scotch Whisky News

aa-glenburgie

1995 Glenburgie 21 Year Old K&L Exclusive “Signatory” Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) ($99.99)

This is the second cask of Glenburgie we’ve grabbed from the Signatory warehouse and it’s another winner. The whisky is nothing flashy or wildly exotic, just smooth, rich, and delicious from front to back. Any time we can sell delicious 20+ year old cask strength single malt for under a hundred bucks, we’re probably going to take that deal. Glenburgie is known more for its role in Ballantine’s blended than it is as a stand-alone single malt, but these single casks should help change that perception. Once again we’ve got creamy malt flavor on the palate, a rich layer of oak from the two decades in wood, and a lovely finish of baked apples and other Highland fruit flavors. The 54.8% ABV lifts the finish into a flurry of baking spices and malty notes that continues to linger for minutes. This is tasty, classically-flavored Scotch whisky, pure and simple.

Jeffrey Jones | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: November 21, 2016
This is the most elegant of the currant Signatory selections. I t offers beautiful aromas of honey and malt. In the mouth it is rich and round while at the same time elegant and complex. There is a subtle hint of creaminess and a nuance of spice. Like all of the cask strength whiskys a little water helps soften and open up this single malt.

Andrew Stevens | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: November 21, 2016
One of my favorite things about getting to taste through the bottlings of Scotch we get from Signatory, Old Particular, and Hepburn’s Choice is being surprised by a bottle from a distillery I am unfamiliar with or has been shut down. For the four bottles of Signatory that David OG brought us this Glenburgie takes that place. White fruit, good peat, and subtle vanilla in the nose gives way to a subtle and elegant body. The white pear notes are surrounded by cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla all of which are wrapped in light layers of smoke and peat. Although there is heat on the finish from the cask strength. this is still a smooth and sophisticated bottle. A ridiculously good deal for a delicious spirit.

David Othenin-Girard | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: November 15, 2016
Another stunning value from one of our favorite suppliers. 21 year old single malt for under $100 is a real rarity these days add that it’s a delicious single barrel bottled at cask strength and we’re down right rare air here. This is a true Speysider in every respect. Subtle herb, shrubby flowers and fruit notes open with some air into aromas muscovado and candied apple. A pleasing mineral earthiness, like a fresh stream in the forest, balances the wonderful pop of fruit on the palate. The finish turns up the spice with a bit of dryness on the long lingering finish.

David Driscoll | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: November 11, 2016
This 21 year old Glenburgie achieves exactly what its predecessor did (that 20 year old cask we bought last year): it provides high quality, no frills Scotch whisky goodness with maturity and punch for a hot price. There’s nothing out of the ordinary here, just rich vanilla, oak, malted grains, stone fruits, and a nice smooth finish. Chalk up another win for no-name single malt whisky and those who trust in it.

Glengoyne Serves up Latest Teapot Dram – Scotch Whisky News

teapotdram-email-small-2

Glengoyne serves up latest Teapot Dram

Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky will unveil the latest batch of its coveted Teapot Dram this week, just in time to toast the festive season.

Matured in first fill Oloroso sherry oak casks, Glengoyne Teapot Dram V is teeming with brown sugar, sweet fruits and soft spices, with a natural colour of dark mahogany. Bottled unchillfiltered and at cask strength, just 3,138 bottles of Teapot Dram V will be released, available exclusively from the Glengoyne Distillery shop or at Glengoyne.com.

The Teapot Dram was created in tribute to an old Glengoyne Distillery tradition: for over 150 years, workers would be given three fingers of whisky, three times a day. The less seasoned workers would, to save face, discreetly pour some of theirs into a copper teapot on the windowsill. Their older colleagues – veterans of the dram, one and all – would intersperse official drams with unofficial “cups of tea” from the teapot, ensuring none went to waste. Iain Weir, Marketing Director for Glengoyne, said: “There’s a great affection for the Teapot Dram among Glengoyne enthusiasts, and we are sure this edition will be warmly received. It’s a whisky with a great story behind it, and one that’s very special to everyone at Glengoyne because it brings to life the history of the Distillery and the whisky-makers who preceded us.

“With Christmas and New Year around the corner, this would make a really special gift for whisky lovers – and with just 3,138 bottles in this batch, it’ll be an exclusive one too.”

Glengoyne Teapot Dram V is bottled at 59.6% and, because the daily dram would never be taken from an old cask, this is a deliberately young and bold malt. It will retail at £90.

Glengoyne Distillery is owned by one of Scotland’s leading independent, family-owned distillers, Ian Macleod Distillers. Glengoyne runs the slowest stills in Scotland to build up fruity richness and fill the finest Oloroso Sherry casks.  No one takes more time and care.

TASTING NOTES:

Appearance

Dark mahogany

Nose

Porridge topped with brown sugar; rum and raisin ice cream; strawberries with a sprinkling of pepper

Taste

Initially sweetness gives way to rich, spicy oak, cinnamon swirl and walnuts

Finish

Massively long. Oak gives way to pepper then, after a considerable period, fresh pears wish you a fond farewell.

Notes to Editors:

Glengoyne, being uncompromising in its pursuit of excellence, runs its stills slower than any other distillery in order to create the rich, bold flavours for which the brand is known. The Glengoyne Highland Single Malt range is matured in the finest oak casks from within its traditional dunnage warehouses.

Scotch Malt Whisky Society of Canada December 2016 Outturn – Scotch Whisky News

aa-smws-dec16

With seven new wonderful whiskies to choose from, picking the perfect present may be puzzling. Focus on the flavour profiles and dig deep into the tasting notes and you’re sure to find the perfect gift for giving – especially to yourself!

AND FOR EVERY BOTTLE PURCHASED UNTIL DEC. 24, WE’RE DONATING $10 TO BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS CANADA!

CASK No. 7.139  SALSA VERDE

11 years old; 1st fill barrel; 60.5%; Young & spritely

Fresh and green; eucalyptus and melon-cucumber smoothie followed by buttered croissants, whilst strawberry, basil and mint whizzed through the mouth neat. Water turned the aromas and flavours more herbal, crème de menthe and salsa verde with cayenne pepper in the finish.

CASK No. 64.75  FEAST OF FRUITS

12 years old; 1st fill barrel; 60.8%; Spicy & sweet

Three fruit marmalade, strawberry banana milkshake and fruit flavoured herbal shisha tobacco were followed on the palate by watermelon with ground pepper, salt and lime. Water changed the aroma to American pancakes with blueberries and the flavour became a mango banana juice.

CASK No. 55.38  FLAMING RED WINE PUNCH

15 years old; 2nd fill Sauternes hogshead; 58.1%; Spicy & sweet

Boozy rum baba, seriously sherried jelly berry trifle and a Feuerzangenbowle (flaming red wine punch!) made the taste fruity and spicy. Water added sweetness in the form of a spicy sponge cake and a Planter’s Punch to finish. This whisky previously inhabited an ex-bourbon refill hogshead.

CASK No. G8.6  JAZZED UP BANANA SPLIT

26 years old; refill hogshead; 59.7%; Juicy, oak & vanilla

The nose suggests sawdust on soft fruits (plum, peach, pineapple) and baskets of dried flowers, then buttered popcorn, potpourri and sumptuous banana splits. The palate balances sweetness (butterscotch, toffee, candy necklaces) with chili jam, tree bark and menthol vapour rub.

CASK No. 1.190  SMOKY CHIPOTLE BLOODY MARY

21 years old; refill hogshead; 56.2%; Spicy & sweet

Eccentricity at its best! Aromas of beef mince curry, crayfish cocktail and sweet herbal sausages were followed by a hot/cold sensation in the mouth. With water everything changed; prawn cocktail chips and crab cakes with sweet chili sauce.

CASK No. 53.236  CULINARY CANNONBALLS

16 years old; refill hogshead; 64.1%; Lightly peated

The flavour cannon, loaded with dark fruits soaked in rum, flambéed banana, prawn tempura and toffee, was lit by a fuse of muscovado sugar. A sweet smoke explosion shook the ground filling the air with ash, chewy soot, gunpowder remnants, rye bread and spun sugar.

CASK No. 3.270  SURF N TURF IN A CAMEL’S SADDLE BAG

18 years old; refill butt; 55.8%; Oily & coastal

The nose has odd combinations – honey-coated kippers, toffee Pavlova, Fisherman’s Friends, syrupy campfire waffles, surf and turf and camel saddle bags. The palate has barbecued prawns, treacle toffee, ginger cake, prunes, leather, cigars, dark rum – and big sherry and smoke.

K&L “Our Best Single Malt Whisky Deal of 2017” – Scotch Whisky News

aa-kl1

Purchasing unique barrels of cask strength single malt whisky isn’t a process that particularly lends itself to everyday value, mainly because of the added costs that bottling whisky at full proof and in small quantities entails. We hear from K&L customers all over the world on a regular basis who would love to participate more often in our exclusive whisky program, if only the costs were a bit more in line with the regular brands. The sad truth is, however: there simply isn’t much cask strength juice out there for under $75 and when we do manage to locate more value-priced selections they’re usually in the 5-7 year range, and often quite youthful in their character. With the three-tier distribution system set up the way it is in the United States, there’s really no way around that price point. But that’s why you shop at K&L, right? Because we know how trim down those margins, cut out those middlemen, and bring the booze directly to you for a more reasonable price!

We’ve performed a few magic acts over the years. We’ve located some rare whiskies, pulled out a few stops, and managed to drop the price on many an interesting spirit here and there, but we can’t remember having ever put together a Scotch deal like this one: two single barrels of cask strength, sherry-matured, dark and delicious Highland single malt whisky for less than fifty bucks. We’ve been sitting on our hands and biting our tongues, hoping to keep this deal a secret until December when we knew single malt shoppers would appreciate it most. Not only are these two sherry-matured whiskies sure-fire gift options for your Macallan or Balvenie-loving whisky drinker, they’re both loaded with flavors of shortbread, toffee, Christmas cake, and dark chocolate. Never in our store’s history have we been able to offer whisky this rich and this delicious at full proof for under fifty bucks. Buy a few for your loved ones, or buy a few for yourself; just don’t miss out on this offer. We think it’s the best single malt whisky deal of the year.

2005 Glenallachie 11 Year Old “Hepburn’s Choice – K&L Exclusive” Single Sherry Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) ($49.99)

Glenallachie is a Pernod-Ricard-owned distillery that sends most of its whisky to the blended Chivas Regal, but after our customers get a taste of this super-saturated sherry-matured delight, it’s going to be a household name at K&L. This 11 year old first-fill sherry bomb is like a darker, sweeter, older, richer, better version of another Pernod-Ricard classic: the Aberlour A’Bunadh. But whereas the A’Bunadh sells for $70 a bottle, this decadent Glenallachie comes in at a cool $49.99. For the age, quality, and concentration of the sherry here, this is right there with the Dailuaine 9 year old cask as one of the best single malt whisky deals we’ve ever offered. The nose is brimming with burnt vanilla, toasted nuts, and cakebread. The palate is a 59.8% beast of savory sherry, sweet pudding, candied citrus, and dark chocolate. If you’ve been dreaming of the 22 year old Mortlach sherry bomb we offered years ago that is still the stuff of legend today, this is the baby version of that whisky. We could probably sell this for $99.99 and few people would complain. We’d recommend buying this one by the case. Only 600 total bottles available.

Andrew Stevens | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 06, 2016

This is a delightful bottle of whiskey even without the sub $50 price tag. The nose showcases the traditional nutty richness from the sherry cask, but there is a more savory, almost touch of earth note alongside it. Amazingly smooth on the palate, like the nose, this Scotch brings an almost savory element to the sweet richness of the sherry influence. Hints of bitter chocolate, earth, and almonds mean that this will be perfect to warm up the many cool evenings that this time of the year brings.

Andrew Whiteley | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 06, 2016

Weighing in at a whopping 59.8% this gem packs deep, rich, dense sherry into a garden full of fresh herbs and moist, rich humus. It’s chewy, nutty sherry with a touch of cocoa and all at an unheard of price point for cask-strength whisky in the market today. If you want a great gift for a big sherry whisky lover without dropping 100+ bucks, this is just the ticket.

David Driscoll | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 06, 2016

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of this whisky for months, ever since I first tasted it back in Glasgow this past September. Once the price of the Pound dropped and I was able to rework a little math, I knew we had a chance to offer one of the best single malt deals in our store’s history. This is like a K&L Exclusive version of Aberlour A’Bunadh, but this version comes from another Chivas distillery called Glenallachie. This one also comes with an age statement (11 years) and a discount of $20 per bottle. Sherry bomb chasers haven’t seen a deal this good in a decade. This is every thing we say it is: dark, rich, chewy, raisined, concentrated, and full of sweet sherry. It’s almost 60% at cask strength and it’s a complete animal. For $49.99, I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.

2007 Dailuaine 9 Year Old “Hepburn’s Choice – K&L Exclusive” Single Sherry Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) ($49.99)

Dailuaine is one of Diageo’s classic Speyside distilleries that produces a classically rich, nutty, and creamy Highland malt whisky. We thought this particular nine year old sherry butt-aged expression was so fruity and delicious that we practically jumped across the negotiating table to get our hands on it. Matured in a second fill cask, the toffee and shortbread notes of the Oloroso cask are more restrained and integrated, but they’re still front and center. They meld beautifully with the inherent maltiness of the whisky and build to a finish that pops at 58.3% with spice, rhubarb, and toasted almond notes. Fans of Glendronach, Macallan, and Balvenie should go ga-ga for this. The chewiness of the sherry is just apparent enough to add body and texture, but it never takes away from the pure malt flavor. Utterly drinkable and of profound quality for the price. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best deals we’ve ever offered for any cask of sherry-aged malt whisky in our store’s history.

Andrew Whiteley | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 06, 2016

Stunningly smooth and approachable despite being bottles at a hefty 58.3%. Tons of intense sherry, candied nuts, and richness here, but not a huge sherry bomb in the classic sense. While there is the clear stamp of Spain’s finest fortified wines, there is also an elegance and balance due to a robust maltiness with a touch of heavy cream. All for $50 bucks, this is a heck of a deal.

Andrew Stevens | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 06, 2016

Super fun, tasty bottle that we picked up from Hepburn’s Choice that fulfills the niche that seems to be harder and harder to fill in the whiskey world. Namely good, smooth affordable whiskey. Here the sherry casks gives this 9 year old Scotch a nutty sweetness on the nose with hints of caramel. The palate has loads of rich baked fruit and the Sherry really sings with nutty spice and rich round tones. Even at cask strength this is a surprisingly smooth whiskey for anyone looking to get into a fun bottle that doesn’t have to be special occasion only.

David Driscoll | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 06, 2016

While the super sherry heads all fawn and freak out over the uber-rich Glenallachie 11, the fans of more restrained and balanced sherry-aged whisky should be surreptitiously stocking up on this 9 year old Dailuaine, hoping the masses don’t catch wind of this incredible deal. This sherry-aged delight drinks like a full proof version of Glendronach 12 or the Balvenie Doublewood. It’s half creamy malt and half toasted sherry deliciousness. The flavors of sweet barley and sweet sherry meander back and forth and trade places numerous times with each sip. Sure, it’s the price as the Glenallachie and it’s two years younger, but this is the bottle you’ll come back to over and over again. This is the one you’ll really miss when all 559 bottles are sold out.
