Woodford Reserve 1L The Party Source Private Barrel! – We were sad when the Woodford Double Oaked private barrel program was suspended, but we’re elated that Woodford Reserve opened up a private barrel program for their flagship Woodford Reserve Bourbon! It’s smooth and sweet and everything you love about Woodford, but with a little more stuffin’. Stop by when the Tasting Library is open and ask J.O. for a taste.

Golden Moon – We received another shipment from what is quite possibly our favorite Colorado Distillery. Everything they make it top shelf. New Golden Moon Spirits include: Ex Gratia  – think Chartreuse, Grappa – from fresh CO wine grape pressings, Gunfighter American Bourbon Double Cask – finished in Port casks, Gunfighter Rye Double Cask  – finished in Port barrels, and finally the Golden Moon Colorado Single Malt – only malted barley from CO and surrounding states is distilled and aged in new oak casks and then finished in used oak casks.

Jim Beam Signature Craft Triticale – Here’s the newest in Jim Beam’s Signature Craft series. Triticale is a hybrid grain produced from a cross of rye and wheat. The rye is most prominent on the nose with notes of many baking spices. On the palate however, the wheat shines through more with notes of apples, vanilla, and chocolate.

Dalmore 18yr – The first 14yrs were spent in American oak casks, then four years in two different sized sherry barrels. The result is a rich, complex, and wholly excellent Highland Single Malt Whisky. There are lots of chocolaty and citrusy qualities found in this delightful bottle.

Ardbeg Dark Cove – Here’s a real treat. It has been aged in dark sherry barrels and is Ardbeg’s darkest malt yet. Packed with flavors both fruit and earth, sweet and spice, all with a nice smoky backbone, any Islay lover would be remiss to not try this limited release.

Ardbeg 10yr with Uigedail and Corryvrecken 50ml sample bottles! – What better way to restock your Ardbeg 10yr than to get this gift pack that lets you try two of their other selections?  Compass Box – two special limited and special releases from Compass Box just came in.

Enlightenment had only 5,922 bottles produced, is a blend of fruity and floral Highland Single Malts, and is $78.99.

The Circus had only 2,490 bottles produced, are a harmonious blend of well-aged single malts that were then blended and aged, and is $239.99

Black Bull 12 Year Old

£26.91 ex. VAT (discounted price.)

Black Bull contains 50% malt whisky and 50% grain whisky. It is bottled at 50% ABV and has not been altered by chilled-filtration. This special blend is a marriage of the finest 12 year old single malt and single grain whiskies distilled in Scotland. The selection of whiskies falls true to the Duncan Taylor ethic of unbridled quality, each whisky from each cask is nosed and tasted before going into the Black Bull vatting.

Tasting notes:

Nose: robust, chunky aromas. Chocolate, toffee, sherry, vanilla and lemon sherbet.

Palate: smooth, mellow and rounded. Milk chocolate, treacle toffee, pears, green apples and lots of sweet vanilla.

Finish: some heavier fruity notes emerge, and lots of creamy notes coming through

(Tasting Notes by Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Limited).

  Black Bull Kyloe 

£16.49 ex. VAT (discounted price.)

From the award winning Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Company and Black Bull brand comes Kyloe, a brand new release to add to the Black Bull fold. Kyloe (pronounced Kahy-loh) is inspired by the hardy breed of highland cattle, the Kyloe, known to survive in the bitter windswept highlands and islands of Scotland. Black Bull Kyloe shares much of its likeness with this great breed – robust and with outstanding pedigree.

Tasting notes:

Nose: rich, with toffee apple, pear, clementine, brown sugar, and toasted oak.

Palate: hazelnuts, milk chocolate, malt, and raisins.

Finish: vanilla, cream and oak. Medium to long.

Benromach Distillery

Using the finest natural ingredients, just three distillers orchestrate every second of the distillation process: there are no short cuts to perfection. Every cask is hand-filled, hand-weighed and hand-stamped before being matured for many years in traditional dunnage warehouses.

Why do Benromach do it this way?

Because it creates a gorgeous, classic pre-1960’s Speyside character: beautifully balanced with a light touch of smoke.

The old Speysiders from before the 1960’s are, frankly wonderful. So as passionate custodians of this rare character, Benromach distillery felt honour-bound to give the world back this very special style of malt.

Remember – we’re giving you the chance to win a bottle of 1976 Benromach when purchasing any of the bottles below!

Scroll down for more details.

Benromach Organic

Benromach Organic, created using the finest of organic ingredients. Distilled in 2010 and matured in virgin American oak casks, before being bottled in 2015 at 43% vol. A mouth-watering balance with a smooth and long finish.

Benromach Peat Smoke

Matured in first fill bourbon barrels since 2006, Benromach Peat Smoke is more intense than the subtle smoke of the standard 10 year old but still retaining the Benromach character…

This superb richly sherried single malt is matured for at least 12 years in a combination of the finest spanish pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks.

Down the years, the distillery he created has thrived under the stewardship of far-sighted investors like Walter Scott in 1847 and Captain Charles Grant in 1920. In more recent times, GlenDronach was bought in 1960 by William Teacher & Sons.
