For a limited time only, while stocks last.
The Bowmore Tempest 4 has arrived!
It has the DNA of all the other Tempests in terms of the Bowmore smokiness and sea salt tang and of course is matured only in ex-Bourbon casks at cask strength. But it is the beauty of small batch production and 100% first fill casks that enables Bowmore to produce the very different flavours apparent in this exceptional whisky which differentiates it slightly from the other award winning Tempest releases that have gone before.
The fourth expression in the Tempest Series and they just keep getting better.
Bottled at 55.1% volume.
This limited edition bottling is only available while stocks last.

We’re heading to Edmonton on Saturday, May 11th to host a very special tasting!
To raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, one of our Edmonton members and his daughter (a cancer survivor), have been training with Team in Training for their first half-marathon. In conjunction with training he has been putting on monthly whisky tastings as a way to gather donations for the LLS.
We were honoured to be asked to participate and will host the final tasting, on Saturday, May 11th, to celebrate their efforts and help raise a chunk of money for a great cause.
We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a great evening – details and registration link are below and if you’ve already signed up we look forward to seeing you! If you can’t make it then please forward this on to your scotch-loving, philanthropic friends and we encourage you to donate directly to the cause at our member’s support page:

The Talisker Port Ruighe has arrived – click the image to place your order!
The Whisky Shop is pleased to announce the arrival of a ground breaking new whisky – The Talisker Port Ruighe!
This is the first ever Talisker release which has been double matured in ruby port casks. This unique expression is named after the main trading port on Skye and combines Talisker’s powerful maritime character with succulent sweet notes of rich berry fruits for a superb contrasting taste experience.
Smooth and cooling at first; rapidly developing across the palate. Earthy South American cocoa notes – perhaps in a tarte au chocolat – are balanced by a fruity, cherry acidity; then a wave of softly drying sulphurous smoke and coal tar notes; and later, superb, chewy, brewers’ chocolate-malt. (Guinness malts?)
Very soft and cooling with water. Rounded and gently minty with resinous notes just ahead of a sublime, smoky, tarry development. Growing sweetly fiery and aromatic (burning beech wood logs at a Bavarian smokehouse).
Bottled at 45.8% volume. Tasting notes by Owen D.L. Barstow

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, puts two Auchentoshan Casks #803 head to head. They are both 31 years old! One is a 1966 bourbon hogshead, the other a 1973 sherry butt. Both are simply marvellous whisky’s from that Lowland distillery. Enjoy!
