New online whisky specialist for the growing Australian market.

Select Scotch Whisky have begun importing, wholesaling and retailing Scotch Whisky’s into the growing Australian market. With a focus on single cask expressions and rare and limited malts, Simon Spier, founder of SSW says: “I’m excited to be able to launch our new venture in the pursuit of genuine passion. My hope is that we can help supply trade and punters with the inspirational, the memorable and the rare. Over the last few years I’ve seen an increase in both understanding and appreciation of fine Scotch Whiskies in Australia, so I’m pleased to be able to tap into that.”

The online shop is up and running now, with new products to be listed over the coming weeks as stock arrives.

Compass Box “No Name” Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) (Elsewhere $170)

$139.99

SKU #1331128

In late 2017, Compass Box released this outstanding limited-edition whisky called “No Name,” a blend of 75.5% Ardbeg, 10.6% Caol Ila, and 13.4% Clynelish with an additional 0.5% French oak-aged Highland malt for extra flavor. We sold through our allocation in a flash, even with the “one bottle limit per customer” dictate slowing things down in the sales queue. Now that the fervor of the Christmas shopping season is over, we managed to consolidate a large chunk of what was left in the States and get it all delivered to K&L. That means no bottle limits, no restrictions, and no risk of running out anytime soon. If you were a fan of the “Flaming Heart” or the “Peat Monster,” this is sort of like a combination of the two. You get the clean, focused, highly peated intensity of Ardbeg, tempered ever so slightly by the roundness of Caol Ila and the oiliness of Clynelish

Whiskybase.com celebrates 1 Million whisky ratings

The leading whisky platform and community site hits 1 million whisky ratings. 

Netherlands: Sunday the 8th of April, Whiskybase.com, the leading whisky platform and community site, celebrates reaching 1 million whisky ratings. Whiskybase, which started as a website to keep track of whisky bottle information, has grown into the leading platform for information about whisky releases and ratings.

Menno Bijmolt, the founder of Whiskybase, on this milestone: “When starting the website, it was primarily just to keep track of whiskies I tasted and share this with other whisky drinkers. I couldn’t have imagined that so many people would be using the website and that we would gather 1 million ratings. Recently, we hit 100.000 unique bottles in Whiskybase and now we have 1 million ratings, it still feels unreal.”

There are some new exciting developments coming up that will make Whiskybase accessible for people who prefer to read in their own language. As people increasingly rely on these tasting notes for their whisky purchases, it goes without saying we will continue to focus on the quality of the information given by our members.

In the near future Whiskybase will offer automatically translated tasting notes using Artificial Inteligence technology and a guide that will help new whisky enthusiasts to leave proper ratings and tasting notes.

About Whiskybase: Whiskybase is a Dutch-based company consisting of an online and an a in Rotterdam; an event company that hosts a wide range of activities, including the yearly Whiskybase Gathering in Rotterdam; Archives, our independent bottler brand; and whiskybase.com, the leading whisky information website.
