Glen Keith 28 Year Old
This 28-year-old Glen Keith single malt is a true reflection of time’s transformative power. Distilled before the distillery closed in 1999, it matured for over ten years in first-fill American oak casks, only to be re-released in 2013. With a 43% ABV, this Speyside whisky reveals a depth of flavor and complexity that only time could achieve. A remarkable example of craftsmanship and endurance, it stands as a prized addition for both collectors and whisky lovers. The 70cl bottle encapsulates the legacy of Glen Keith—a perfect balance of patience, resilience, and quality.

This densely sherried single malt comes to us from the Orkney islands, bringing with it vivid notes of chestnut, cocoa, cedar and hints of demerara rum. It’s a great whisky for a winter’s night by the fire.

An excellent example of Laphroaig’s distinctive spirit and sherry casks working in perfect harmony, this has a savoury edge that brings to mind smoked bacon and nori seaweed, alongside sweeter notes of cherry drops and marzipan.

This Blair Athol has spent 16 years in a single oloroso sherry butt, wrapping it up in layers of dark chocolate, walnuts, dried mushrooms, cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s rich in texture and seriously complex.

Russell’s Reserve “Small Batch” 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) $39.99 View
92 POINTS | Wine Enthusiast |Review Date: 07/2013
From Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell, this tawny and full-bodied whiskey evolves on the palate. At first, it features orange peel, vanilla and caramel, then dry leather and cocoa notes midpalate, and finishes long and lean with clove and allspice accents. Dilute to taste, sip slowly and consider all the complex flavors. (KN)

MALT OF MOMENT
Our latest Malt of the Moment is this sherry bomb of a dram from Alistair Walker Whisky, released as part of the Infrequent Flyers Collection. Tamdhu and sherry casks go hand in hand, the spirit works so well in this style of maturation. Distilled in 2013 and matured for 10 years in cask then bottled from a Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon.
All the previous PX expression from Infrequent Flyers have been excellent, this is another great pick and has been our go to dram this festive season!
