A JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORLD OF WHISKIES,ONE INSIGHT AT A TIME

Originally made with imported UK peat, the Bakery Hill Peated Malt is now made with Australian Peat (however, it is lightly-peated in the vein of a Speyside than an Islay peat). The wash is produced in 1000L batches, then traditionally double-distilled in a copper-pot still. Bakery Hill's firm belief that caramel dulls the real flavors of the whisky stays true here, with no coloring added to the peated malt. (Note: this is not currently available in the US.)
The Double Wood expression from Australian distillery Bakery Hill features single malt whisky which was initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in French oak casks. This finishing period brings some additional plum and orange peels notes to the table, complimenting the malty notes from the Classic Malt.
A superb blend of the finest malt and grain scotch whiskies from the highlands and islands.
Gentleman Jack is an American Tennessee Whiskey from the house of Jack Daniel’s, one of the world’s biggest and bestselling American whiskey brands. Released in 1988, it has risen tremendously in terms of popularity in recent times. It is one of the few variety expressions offered by the Jack Daniel’s brand, and uses the Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 as the fingerprint whiskey before undergoing a double charcoal mellowing process that offers it the distinct smoothness.
Clontarf is now made using whiskey that has been triple distilled with their malt whiskey coming from County Antrim and grain whiskey for blending coming from County Cork.
Jameson 18-Year-Old Limited Reserve is a blended Irish whiskey from the house of Jameson Whiskey, one of the oldest and the most widely sold Irish Whiskey around the world.
Whistlepig's Annual Boss Hog Releases Are Always Very Exciting Expressions For Rye Enthusiasts, And The 2018 Edition Most Certainly Will Make A Few Eyebrows Raise Excitedly. It's A 13 Year Old Rye Whiskey, Which Has Been Finished In Calvados Casks, In Honour Of Whistlepig's Mauve And Her Love Of Apples. Apples Are Great, So That's Understandable. The Calvados Casks Have Helped To Bolster The Stewed Orchard Fruit Notes At The Core Of The Spirit.
The mashbill for Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. Unusual also for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel where it matures for at least six years. A must have Kentucky bourbon. Makes a wonderful Old-Fashioned cocktail!
The Midleton Whiskey
Originally released for the Travel Retail market, Connemara Turf Mór boasts a peatiness that leans more on the earthy side of things than their classic expression.
One of Nikka's classic brands, the Super Nikka was introduced to the market in 1962. Its luxuriant aroma, gentle hints of peat and scent of vanilla and chocolate are all in harmony, and its flavor is smooth, rounded and well-balanced.
