Originally made with imported UK peat, the Bakery Hill Peated Malt is now made with Australian Peat (however, it is lightly-peated in the vein of a Speyside than an Islay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 bottle of Evan Williams' higher-strength white label at 100 proof. Evan Williams is revered as the first ever commercial distiller in Kentucky (he started in 1783). Today, the whiskey bearing his name is made by Heaven Hill and is the second-biggest bourbon brand in the US
An underrated jewel of the Speyside region, the Aberlour Distillery has somehow managed to consistently recreate the exquisite quality of their single malts for over a century. The Aberlour single malt whisky has always been the perpetual favourite of critics and whisky lovers that have successfully explored the horizons beyond the mainstream. The Aberlour core range is not monumental, and their sales figures are not astonishing, but their whisky? It is both those things, and so much more.
Old Eight is one of the most famous whiskies in Brazil. With an eclectic combination of tradition, materials and ability it creates a unique mix with a strong character.Produced in Brazil with pure malt imported from Scotland and according to the original process of the old continent. The result is one unique and incomparable whisky.Old Eight is of an amber colour with golden crystal tones, it has a perfume that is harmonious with hints of wood and peat, and a flavour that is slightly spicy, wooded and persistent.
The initial sniffs after the pour reveal supple, buttery, and piney aromas; more time allows a pleasant fruitiness to appear along with traces of vanilla and cedar. Palate entry is honey sweet and silky; by midpalate the backbone flavors are clearly the sweet grain andvanilla bean. Concludes warmly in the throat. An extremely pleasant malt. Best Buy.
A particularly flavoursome Indian single malt from the Paul John range. Kanya is an unpeated expression that has been aged in first-fill American white oak casks and bottled at 50% ABV. Only 1,500 bottles were produced. In Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2018, this expression was awarded a staggering 96 points and the title of Best Asian Whisky 2018!
One of the most prominent representative of Canadian Whiskey, which, moreover, has been getting better in recent years. It is no coincidence that the Canadian fishermen & farmers favorite drink.
This whisky is from the moth-balled distillery of Imperial
Johnnie Walker Blue Label is an unrivalled masterpiece. It is an exquisite blend made from some of Scotland’s rarest and most exceptional whiskies. Only one in every ten thousand casks has the elusive quality, character and flavour to deliver the’ remarkable signature taste of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. An extraordinary whisky for extraordinary occasions.
Amador Whiskey Co. Double Barrel marries the best of Kentucky Bourbon with Napa Valley wine barrel finishing. Its journey began in the heart of Bourbon country, where we selected exceptional Kentucky Bourbon that came to life in new charred American oak barrels. We transported this treasure westward along the 38th parallel to California, where we finished the Bourbon with our family’s Napa Valley wine barrels. This double-barrel aging technique creates characteristics from the individual barrels that are then blended together to make exceptional Bourbon, far greater than the sum of its parts.
