Notes from the Distiller ~ Rye inspired by Old World barrel-aging traditions. This 86-proof 12 year-old Rye Whiskey is a marriage of whiskeys aged in New American Oak and ingeniously finished in Port (7%,) French Sauternes (30%,) and Madeira casks (63%). We’ve taken the elements that are most quintessential in an American rye – boldness and character – and fused them with the elegance and grace of an 18 year old Scotch. Plenty of rich caramel, vanilla, and winter fruit on the nose, with a spicy, dark chocolate, & spiced vanilla finish.

The Sazerac 6 Year Rye Whiskey is distilled at the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery. It’s known as baby Saz because of its famed older brother and member of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, Sazerac 18. It has a mashbill of 51% rye, 39% corn and 10% malted barley. The nose is citrusy and full of allspice. Even though it is young, palate has an old feeling with nice weight and texture on the palate, with spices and citrus center stage.

The cask proof version of our ever-popular Roundstone Rye is a very special expression. Released at approximately 58% ABV (it varies depending on the individual barrels), this is seriously strong whisky! Delicious, dark, complex and ridiculously smooth for the proof, Roundstone Rye Cask Proof is released only about twice per year. Catoctin is also one of the few whiskey distilleries co-owned & operated by a woman, Becky Harris.

Nestled into the north coast of the island, Port Askaig has been the gateway to Islay for hundreds of years. For many, it is the start of a journey that will stay with them for a lifetime. Port Askaig is a range of Islay single malt whiskies that embodies the unique spirit of Islay and its people. Its character brings together the robust smokiness and soft fruitiness found in this beguiling island. The range has been developed to appeal to the most discerning of whisky connoisseurs while also appealing to the novice whisky drinker. Port Askaig 18 Year Single Cask is a US exclusive release from an undisclosed Islay distillery. It matured for 18 years in a single ex-bourbon barrel which yielded 250 bottles. Bottled in 2019 at 50.8%

This Port Charlotte 10 year old has been conceived, distilled, matured and bottled on Islay alone. We are a young team with deep-rooted values, and an ambition to make the ultimate “Islay” Islay whisky. A whisky made by people not software; a whisky watched over every day of its maturing life by those who made it; a whisky born of a community with a vision and a mission to kick start a single malt whisky revolution, this Port Charlotte 10 year old is who we are. This is where we’re from. Notes from the distiller: "The sweetness of the oak and the barley are matched beautifully by the dry peat smoke. Islay grown, the barley seems more distinct and brings through the peach and apple typical of our spirit."

Kilchoman U.S. Small Batch Limited Edition is their special America-only Small Batch vatting that unites Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry matured Whisky with a cherry-picked Port hogshead. 70% Bourbon, 25% Port, 5% Oloroso, to be exact. The very limited experiment (only 1,260 bottles exist) offers layers of smooth flavors with a lot of peaty smoke, citrus and sea spray.

The 2nd Autumn release from Kilchoman is the Fino Matured limited edition. The casks for this expression were used previously by Bodega Miguel Martin in Spain, including 11 fresh sherry butts and just the one refill butt. Combining the savory notes of peated whisky with the salinity of Fino, this will definitely be one of the more popular releases from the distillery.

Balvenie 12 DoubleWood is one of those superbly balanced whiskies showcasing the balance between ex-Bourbon casks and Sherry casks in maturation. A sweet start to nose develops into vanilla and citrus from Bourbon cask and turns into dried fruits from the Sherry. Palate is well rounded with a good body, sweet tones and approachable spices. Dried fruits with winter spices creates lovely palate. A must buy for one to observe the craft of maturation and finish in different cask types.

Every whisky from this Island region is compared to Talisker 10 most of the time and there is no bad feeling about it at all. The coastal profile of the whisky is reflecting the 'Made By The Sea' writing on the packaging. A great whisky with a nose having balanced peat smoke and sea salt. Wonderful palate with dried fruits, incredible smokiness and peppers. Just a pleasure to have! This special distiller's edition is aged for ten years as well, and finished in Amoroso sherry casks.

On the nose, marmalade & sweet spices with sultanas. On the palate, pineapples & dark chocolate, followed by layers of Christmas cake, marmalade and sweet spices. A beautiful expression of aged whisky.

A rising blended malt whisky made with spectacular malts from Balvenie, Glenfiddich and Kininvie. Monkey Shoulder has also proven itself as it became the Most Popular Whisky of 2015.

A tiny distillery in Perthshire is home to Edradour, one of Scotland's most endearingly different malts. Delicious honey notes complimented by an oily mouthfeel and a stylish finish. A truly handcrafted malt, Edradour is golden in the glass, with a delicious aroma of sugared almonds and a hint of olorosso.

The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year old single malt whisky has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then ‘finished’ in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. Nose is rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combines with fresh fruit notes. Palate is a big and rounded one with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time.
