Orphan Barrel (Port Dundas) “Muckety-Muck” 26 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Port Dundas closed in 2010, but small stocks still remain. The first single grain Scotch in the Orphan Barrel line, which seeks to highlight stocks of closed distilleries that remain in Diageo system. The distillery was established in 1810 and became a key component in the Johnnie Walker Blends for centuries. Per the producer: “The aroma starts with a burst of caramel and notes of baked sugar backed by the taste of crisp fruit and light toasted oak. The fruit forward flavor is blended with hints of butterscotch vanilla which carry through to the finish.”

The Hearach “Single Cask” No. 1050 K&L Exclusive First Fill Bourbon Barrel Cask Strength Isle of Harris Single Malt Whisky

(750ml)

$109.99

View

The very first Hearach Single Cask ever to be released in the US and one of the first-ever bottled worldwide. If you haven’t been paying attention, the little distillery on the Isle of Harris is producing some of the finest whisky in Scotland. Produced in extremely small batches in and with a focus on quality and character overall. This single cask was filled into an extremely high-quality single bourbon barrel. Lightly peated, its ocean aging environment gives this whisky an incredibly depth, but its main focus is balance. The wispy smoke and rich toasty maltiness pair perfectly with the sweet vanilla and baked orchard fruit from the ex-bourbon barrels. Only 127 bottles were produced and bottled at a cask strength of 57.8% abv without coloring or chillfiltration whatsoever. This barrel, No. 1050, is sold exclusively at K&L Wine Merchants, but surely won’t be around for much longer as the little distillery’s reputation has grown steadily since their first release in 2023.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 537: Oban 11 Year Old Diageo Special Releases 2023

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries an Oban. The Diageo Special Releases are something whisky afficionados look forward to every year. And in 2023 there were again quite a few lovely bottles out there, like the Talisker, the Clynelish, an outstanding Glenkinchie and a surprising Roseisle. The Lagavulin, however, for Mark, was the big disappointment with it’s finish on Tequila casks. Another weird one was the 11 years old release by Oban, dubbed ‘the Soul of Calypso’ as it was finished on casks that had previously held Caribbean pot still rum!

INTRODUCING…
KI ONE KOREAN SINGLE MALT

We’re thrilled to welcome Korea’s first-ever single malt whisky from Three Societies distillery in Namyangju, located 40 minutes north of Seoul. The distillery experiences a dramatic temperature range from 30 degrees in summer to -20 degrees in winter, effectively speeding up the aging process.

Matured in new American oak, the palate is full of that new cask influence with notes of white pepper, vanilla, nuts, sweet toffee and summer fruits. This is just the beginning for Three Societies distillery and a great sign of what is to come.

Korea’s first single malt whisky comes to us from Ki One distillery in Namyangju, just outside of Seoul. The distillery experiences a dramatic temperature range from 30 degrees in summer to -20 degrees in winter, effectively speeding up the aging process. Matured in new American oak, this single malt opens with a creamy butterscotch character on the nose, which is met by orchard fruit, blackberries and pecans. The palate is light but full of that new cask influence, you can expect notes of runny honey, white pepper and hints of vanilla.
