Welcome the remaining expressions
from Single Cask Nation’s #USA Retail Release No.8!

9 Year Old Dailuaine

2nd fill bourbon, 198 bottles
On the label: Benrinnes’ house style is incredibly approachable and resonates with such a sunny disposition. An everyday drinker that the late, great Michael Jackson (the whisky writer!) described as, “restorative,” and couldn’t we all use a little bit of that!

Cask # 312978 – 55.6% ABV

10 Year Old Benrinnes

1st fill bourbon, 320 bottles
On the label: You love Dailuaine as much as us, right? Right!? Malty, nutty, rich, spicy, oaky…it’s like one of our Flavometers™ came to life. If they ever make a peated Dailuaine we might die and go to whisky heaven!

Cask # 309608 – 55.6% ABV

10 Year Old Epris

1st fill Bourbon, 260 bottles
On the label: A rum for sipping next to a roaring fire. The fruit notes are warm and inviting while salted licorice and pipe tobacco frame the full experience. Maybe get those chestnuts roasting…

Cask #113 – 52.6% ABV

12 Year Old Linkwood

Refill Bourbon, finished 1 year in Ruby Port, 337 bottles

On the label: Such fun! The Linkwood spirit takes to the port finishing like the proverbial duck to water. Bright, warm malt cereal from the spirit marries perfectly with red fruits and even a little tartness from the port cask. Don’t miss the dark chocolate! Share with friends and turn heads.

Cask #33904 – 54.4% ABV

15 Year Old Inchfad

15 years Refill bourbon, finished 8 months in Grand Cru Bordeaux

On the label: [We might be (a little) biased but this is what independently bottled single casks are all about!] While wood smoke, granola, green olives in brine, toasted coconut, and ripe red berries might seem like awkward bedfellows they absolutely work here. What a wee cracker!

Cask #417 – 56.6% ABV

14 Year Old Girvan

Refill Bourbon, finished 4 years in 1st fill bourbon, 150 bottles

On the label: A very fun example from the Girvan grain distillery that delivers a zingy and effervescent experience that teases the tongue with tart citrus, spicy ginger, and a sugary sweetness.

Cask #525 – 56.1% ABV

We hope you all hand a great Christmas and wish you all the best in 2022

NORTH BRITISH DISTILLERY

30 Year Old 1991 The Golden Cask Exclusive #CG002

Cask #CG002

1991 vintage bourbon barrel #CG001. Just 46 bottles for The Golden Cask exclusively for TWB.

Shop North British 30yo »

North British 30 Year Old 1991 vintage Lowland single grain Scotch whisky. Single Bourbon barrel #CG002 distilled May 1991 and bottled September 2021 by House of Macduff for the Golden Cask series. Only 46 numbered bottles exclusive to The Whisky Barrel.

North British Distillery was established on farmland to the west of Edinburgh in 1885 by Andrew Usher, John M. Crabbie and William Sanderson. Since then the city has expanded ever outwards and now the distillery resides in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh. North British opened in 1887 to guarantee supplies of grain whisky for its owner’s cordials and scotch whisky blending businesses. It is equipped with four Coffey stills to produce grain spirit at 94.5% alcohol and multi-million litres of spirit annually. Whilst most of its whisky matures in racked warehouses in the central Lowlands, a small number of casks spend at least eight years at the distillery in dunnage Warehouse No.1. Official releases are very few but excellent independent ones are available from Hart Brothers and Hunter Laing.

1998 Inchgower 22 Year Old “Sovereign” K&L Exclusive Single Sherry Butt Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

$109.99 View

A Diageo blending workhorse, Inchgower is a principal component (along with Blair Athol) of the Bell’s blend which we sadly don’t see here in the United States. Due to a cloudy wort and a slightly unusual middle cut that runs from 70% all the way down to 55% in the spirits run, Inchgower tends towards the fuller spicier side of things and away from the high-toned fruits found early in the spirits run. Couple that with 22 years in a refill sherry butt and we’ve got a decadent spicy whisky on our hands with the mellowness of long aging. A wonderful combination and a screaming deal at just over a hundred bucks.

Batch 5! 85% Bourbon Oak, 15% Sherry Oak…but is it as good as Batch 4?

Kilkerran have produced, literally, the best tasting younger whiskies that I’ve ever come across. Ever. Ardnamurchan also do very well here too.

The list of goodies:

Natural Colour

Non Chill Filtered

Cask Strength

Heavily Peated

£46.

£46!!!! How do Kilkerran make money on this?

This distillery, these bottles, even though they’re now sold out, show off how good younger Scottish whisky can really be. Peat heads, you folks love younger whiskies! Sherey fans might have to wait a little while longer to enjoy the impact of a sherry cask…or you could just drink sherry? Might make things cheaper in the long run.

Anyway, this stuff is incredible, even if Batch 4 was my preference, this is still, without doubt, the best bottle of whisky that any whisky fan can buy for below £50. Just f*****g exceptional.

Aberlour 16 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

$79.99 View

 The bouquet is austere and leathery with curious aromas of beeswax, vegetable oil and oaky resin. Palate entry is focused on the resin; midpalate is splendidly multilayered and offers elements of black pepper, dried orange blossom, honeysuckle, dried fruit, sage, fennel and confections. Aftertaste is deep and unabashedly sweet and honeyed. *Superb, Highly Recommended*  (12/2009)

Whisky Advocate

 Both bourbon and sherry casks were used for aging. Stewed fruits, butterscotch, and soft spices on the nose. Silky palate delivery, with honey, dark chocolate, light sherry, and cloves. Lingering finish, with citrus and allspice. (GS, Summer 2018) 

K&L Notes

At age 16, the Aberlour seems to possess maturity that may appeal to a broad spectrum of whisky fans. An aroma as enticing as freshly baked apple pie isn’t come by easily in whisky; the blend of “traditional” and sherry casks helps — but the vibrant fruitiness of the Aberlour 16 is a phenomenon that demands to be experienced directly.
