2010 Glenglassaugh 11 Year Old “Dramfool” Bourbon/Sherry Hogshead Peated Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) $109.99 View

Glenglassaugh is a fascinating distillery located just outside the Speyside region on the outskirts of the village of Portsoy. It’s had a ton of ups and downs and multiple closures since its founding in 1874, but today is owned by Brown Forman along with Glendronach and Benriach. Generally known for its bright and fruity distillate today, it does also occasionally make peated malt. It’s that special peated version that we have here. This cask of peated malt spent the first 4 years of life in a Bourbon hogshead before being transferred into a refill sherry hoggie for the final 7 years. Bottled by Dramfool on 8/10/2021 at 56.3% ABV with no coloring or chill filtration.

2010 Dramfool 11 Year Old “Glenmarvellous #3” PX Barrique Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) $149.99 View

11 year old PX Hogshead from “Probably Speyside’s Finest” distillery. While the famous family owned distillery doesn’t love folks using their ‘farc-in name, you can usually hint at it without much problem. Dramfool has taken the moniker Glenmarvellous for their stocks from this special Speysider. The 3rd release of Marvellous was a crackin PX hoggie and bottled especially for the 2022 Spirit of Speyside festival. Yielding a precious few 269 bottles (most of which were obviously sold at the festival) we were thrilled to see any of this make its way onto our first shipment from Dramfool. Dripping with sweet sherry and shockingly dark in color, this not to be missed for lovers of Speyside’s Best.

1994 Tomatin 26 Year Old “Dramfool” Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) $229.99 View

Jim McEwan’s fingerprints are all over this bottling. It would never have existed without him and his relationship with Dramfool. The legendary whisky maker became Dramfool’s defacto consultant when he choose Bruce and Colin as the bottlers of his personal casks – the extremely sought after Jim McEwan Signature Collection. While Bruce and Colin won’t bottle anything they don’t personally love, they do send some samples to Mr. McEwan for his 2 cents. In this case – that 2 cent investment paid massive dividends. Two 1994 distilled 26 year old casks of Tomatin (#6422 and #11210) were sent to Jim for his thoughts on a special ‘dueling cask’ release and while both casks were delicious examples of older malt from this little Highland distillery, they only offered subtle differences. With half a measure of both casks left in his glasses, McEwan, relying on his nearly 60 years of whisky making experience, blended the two together and making something that is truly more than the sum of it’s parts. This 2 cask vatting jumps out of the glass with dessert fruits in syrup, toasted granola, sweet wine, and creamy malt. Dramfool, being a small and nimble operation, then took the opportunity to bottle a very small number of bottles from each cask before vatting, and then bringing those casks together for the primary bottling. If you’re looking for a great bottle of Scotch, try this. If you want to test your blending chops, grab the single casks and have at it.

2002 Port Charlotte (Bruichladdich Peated) 20 Year Old “Dramfool” Barrel #86 ex-Bourbon Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) $499.99 View

Bruichladdich reopened in May of 2001 under Jim McEwan’s watchful eye. His legacy and legend grows even more with this cask. Nearly a year and a half after firing up the stills this magical cask was distilled by Jim on 10/5/2002. It was bottled 11/5/2022 for Dramfool’s Islay Festival release. This is one of the oldest Port Charlotte’s ever bottled and no doubt a legendary item for the lucky few to snag one. Only 30 bottles (out of a yield of 188) are being officially imported to the United States and they are exclusively available at K&L. Dramfool’s relationship with Jim McEwan has allowed them to bottle some of the rarest spirit on earth – again. It also affords them (and us!) the unique opportunity to use Mr. McEwan’s personal cask tasting notes.

K&L Exclusive: Knockout Single-Barrel Bourbon

LAWS Whiskey House “Experiential Barrel” K&L Exclusive Barrel #1206 Cask-Strength

Single Barrel High Malt Straight Colorado Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) ($74.99)
“Another cracking barrel from our friends at LAWS Whiskey House…”
— David Othenin-Girard, K&L Spirits Buyer

Our spirits buyers are on a never-ending marathon of tasting and sampling, all done to bring you the absolute best and most unique offerings on the market. So, when they single out certain new arrivals for special attention, you know there’s a good reason (many good reasons, actually). Colorado’s LAWS Whisky House has given us a number of thrilling discoveries the past few years, and you can add to the list our very first bourbon barrel from one of America’s most dynamic craft distillers. A unique, high-malt mashbill takes this whiskey beyond the standard 5-year profile, endowing it with a richness that suggests several more years of age. Nonetheless, it remains a quintessential craft bourbon with an expertly balanced oak influence that lifts the opulence of the palate with a spicy kick. David Othenin-Girard sums it up brilliantly when he writes, “This is a dang fun barrel of whiskey—it’s different enough to feel exciting without straying out of the flavor category that I want when I reach for bourbon.” If this barrel is any indication of what’s to come from LAWS, this exceptional distiller is going to see a lot more attention from bourbon collectors everywhere.

LAWS Whiskey House “Experiential Barrel” K&L Exclusive Barrel #1206 Cask-Strength Single Barrel High Malt Straight Colorado Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) ($74.99)

K&L Notes: This delicious and unusual bourbon from one of the excellent distillers in Denver, CO is not like any bourbon we’ve ever yet tried. LAWS Whiskey House is committed to exploring the possibilities that the American whiskey category offers producers and while they’re willing to experiment, they never lose sight of the fact that every product must be delicious, no matter how unusual it may be. This single barrel, which happens to be Kosher-certified, has an extremely high-malt mashbill—52% corn, 37% malt, and 11% wheat. Double-distilled on September 19th of 2016 and filled into ISC 53-gallon char 3 American white oak. Aged for 5 years and 8 months at the LAWS warehouse on the corner of S. Acoma and S. Cherokee St. It was dumped on June 6th of 2022. It may not be the oldest LAWS we’ve bottled, but it’s easily the best. Bottled at a cask-strength 125.3 proof without chillfiltration, the malt acts as the main flavor grain here, but this doesn’t taste like Scotch. Rich and sweet on the nose with hints of dark fruit and fresh roasted grain. The texture is very round and oily and offers more overt maltiness on the palate. This high-malt bourbon is one of the very few made in this way and proves that bringing something new to the bourbon table isn’t always a bad thing!

David Othenin-Girard | K&L Spirits Buyer | Review Date: September 28, 2022

Another cracking barrel from our friends at LAWS Whiskey House in Denver, Colorado. One of the few pot-distilled bourbons we’re able to offer, this was distilled twice on LAWS’ hybrid pots. This is our first bourbon barrel from this distillery. Let’s have a taste! This nose offers a ton of rich, roasted barrel flavors coupled with some maple and treacle syrup. Behind that some baked orchard fruit and hints of clove and cinnamon. The rich maltiness of the spirit is nicely integrated into the wood flavors and doesn’t feel young or “crafty” at all. With some air, the wood has developed into some coffee and sweet herbal tones with hints of mint and dill. On the palate, it’s very rich and syrupy, offering the first glimpse of the rich malt coming through more overtly. That’s balanced nicely by a unique, tangy oak with bits of anise and earthy spice adding nuance. The heat isn’t apparent at first, but the spice builds on itself much like a high-rye bourbon would, albeit with a darker bass note. This is a dang fun barrel of whiskey—it’s different enough to feel exciting without straying out of the flavor category that I want when I reach for bourbon.
