The finish, slightly sweet, has hints of vanilla, cake icing, maple syrup and nutmeg. Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve won Double Gold at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was twice named “Irish Whiskey of the Year” by Whisky Advocate . Make sure you pick up a bottle today, before it’s all gone! About Jameson You’d be hard-pressed to find a more iconic name in the Irish whiskey world than “Jameson”. The Jameson tradition dates all the way back to 1740, when John Jameson was born into a family whose motto, “Sine Metu”(“Without Fear”), was earned through the family’s courage in fighting pirates on the high seas during the 1500s. John Jameson himself was a living embodiment of Sine Metu, and his ancestors’ bravery inspired in John a boldness that led him not only to open his own distillery in the latter 18th century but also to pioneer the technique of triple-distilling whiskey — now the gold standard in the Irish whiskey industry. John Jameson lived to be 83 — an impressive feat for someone born in the 18th century — and his descendants John II, John III, and John IV a ll honored his legacy by leading the distillery well into the 20th century. Explore all Jameson bottles >> About Irish Whiskey Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother. Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey. Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.

The Lost Distillery Auchnagie Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
$33.75 Availability: In StockAbout The Lost Distillery Auchnagie Blended Malt Scotch Whisky Auchnagie Malt Scotch Whisky is the first release from The Lost Distillery Company. It is a recreation of a single malt whisky produced at the Auchnagie Distillery, which was situated in the village of Tulliemet and operated from 1812 through 1912. The whisky has an aroma of earthy minerals, dried citrus (particularly peaches) and malted grains. The aroma gives way to round notes of creamy vanilla and fruits, which are complemented by undertones of peat, flowers and caramel. The finish is lingering and smooth, with a touch of smoke. Once the malt whisky used to recreate the Auchnagie single malt has been married together, it is fiinaly prepared for the bottling. “While our ten key components are critical in determining the flavor profile of a whisky we recreate,” says Moss, “it’s just as important to recognize what wasn’t in the whisky. A century ago, there was no such thing as chill filtration or caramel colouring of the final product. That’s why we don’t do either of these things today.” Pick up this unique malt whisky today! About The Lost Distillery Over the past century, nearly one hundred malt whisky distilleries in Scotland have been permanently closed or destroyed. Most of these distilleries were lost as a result of macroglobal conditions, such as Prohibition, world wars or financial crises. As a result, many of the unique and venerable brands in the Scotch whisky industry were considered permanently lost — until now. The Lost Distillery Company is an independent boutique Scotch Whisky company that is determined to create unique, modern expressions of the legendary whiskies that were distilled nearly a century ago. “We are obsessive about our craft and uncompromising when it comes to whisky quality,” says Michael Moss, the distillery’s Master Archivist. Moss is a Professor of Archival Science at the University of Glasgow and focuses on ten critical components in order to accurately recreate whiskies that were distilled nearly a century ago. The ten critical components are the date of last distillation, the region within which the distillery was located, the distillery’s water source, the distillery’s barley source, the distillery’s yeast source, the distillery’s drying process, the di stillery’s mash tun, the distillery’s wash back, the distillery’s still and the type of wood that was used to mature the whisky. Once these components are determined, Moss and his team of archivists and whisky makers marry together single malt whiskies from distilleries across Scotland in order to create a present day interpretation of that long lost whisky legend.

$144.00 Availability: In StockAbout Gordon & MacPhail’s The Glenlivet 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Glenlivet 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is then matured for 21 years (it is legally old enough to drink itself) in Elgin, Scotland, in casks that were formerly used to mature bourbon and sherry. Once the whisky has matured, it is bottled behind a vintage Glenlivet label that was last used by the distillery decades ago. The Glenlivet 21 Year Old has a floral aroma, with notes of dry grass and cedar. The flavor is soft, with gentle notes of mustard seeds, rich fruits, and spicy wood that ultimately lead to a luxurious, oily finish that has a touch of fruits. Pick up a bottle today! About Gordon & MacPhail Situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, Glenburgie Distillery (pronounced glen-burg-ee) sits just off the main Aberdeen-Inverness road between the burghs of Forres and Elgin. The distillery was founded in 1810 by William Paul, who originally named it Kilnflat. In 1878, however, the distillery changed hands and was renamed Glenburgie. The distillery’s unique location and water source — it is surrounded by temperate and fertile terrain and sources water from local springs on nearby Burghie Hill — contribute to the fruity, floral whisky that Glenburgie produces. In 1935, the distillery was acquired by Hiram Walker; since then, the whisky produced at Glenburgie has been an essential component in Ballantine’s Whisky. As a result, there are few official bottlings of Glenburgie Single Malt Whiskey and the chance to obtain one is exceedingly rare. Founded in 1895, Gordon & MacPhail is a family-owned, independent bottler of Scotch whisky. The company was founded by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail, who opened “in New, Centrical, and Commodious Premises, No’s 38 and 40 South Street… a Family Grocers, Tea, Wine & Spirit Merchant,”reported the Elgin Courant on May 24, 1895. Among the company’s first employees was John Urquhart, a fifteen year-old apprentice who helped James Gordon select and purchase casks of whisky to bottle and sell at the store. When MacPhail retired in March 1915, Urquhart becam e a partner in the business, and when Gordon died suddenly just two weeks later, Urquhart became the senior partner. By 1950, Gordon & MacPhail held one of the largest inventories of bottled malt whiskies in the entire world, many of which were not available anywhere else.

Wild Turkey Master’s Keep 17 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
$270.00 Availability: In StockAbout Wild Turkey Master’s Keep 17 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Wild Turkey Master’s Keep 17 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the oldest whiskey ever released by Wild Turkey, and the first to be released since Eddie Russell joined his father as Master Distiller earlier in 2015. Distilled in 1997, when Wild Turkey encountered a surplus of bourbon and shortage of space, Eddie decided to move the bourbon that would become Master’s Keep to a stone warehouse 200 miles away. After 17 years, Eddie believed the barrels had reached their peak flavor, and transported them back to Wild Turkey’s wooden warehouses before bottling them. Interestingly, the bourbon had fallen to 86.8 proof, the cask strength at which it was then bottled. “Master’s Keep is the result of a lot of experimentation, patience and faith,” says Eddie Russell. As a result of this unique aging process, Wild Turkey Master’s Keep 17 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has a beautiful auburn color and aroma of caramel, vanilla, peaches, apricots and burnt sugar. The palate reveals big flavors of butterscotch, baking spices, blueberry pancakes and fresh maple, and leads to a refined finish marked by superb notes of citrus and toasted oak. This tremendous bourbon won’t last long — be sure to pick up a bottle today! About Wild Turkey Following the end of the American Civil War, the Ripy Brothers returned to their native state of Kentucky and, together, opened a distillery on the slopes of a hill in Lawrenceburg. The distillery operated continuously for nearly fifty years until the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the sale of alcohol in the United States, was ratified. Following the end of Prohibition, the Ripy Brothers Distillery was reopened, and a distillery executive named Thomas McCarthy took samples of maturing whiskey from the distillery on a turkey hunt with a group of friends. The follow ing year, his friends asked him to bring “some of that wild turkey whiskey” on their next hunt, giving birth to the distillery’s new name. Today, Wild Turkey Distillery is stewarded by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell (together, the pair have over 90 years of experience producing bourbon). “I was born and raised in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky,” says Jimmy, “which was a small community when I was growing up, but there were four bourbon distilleries here, and you had families working all the distilleries. You wanted to get in the business. My grandfather and my father, me, and now my son, we’ve all been in the business.” Explore all Wild Turkey bottles >> About Bourbon There are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA.

Bowmore 38 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$17,100.00 Availability: In StockAbout Bowmore 38 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky After the barley has been malted and peated, it is mashed and fermented with pure water drawn from Laggan River. The water has spent two millennia percolating in the ancient rock formations and peatbogs of Islay, giving Bowmore Whiskey its distinctive, chewy body and supple mouthfeel. Then, the fermented barley is twice distilled through Bowmore’s copper-pot stills before being left to mature in the distillery’s seaside, underground maturation vaults. Bowmore 38 was distilled on January 14th, 1957, and was promptly moved to casks in the distillery’s famous number one vault. Carefully watched over for 38 long years, the whisky was bottled in the mid-1990s to preserve the 40.1% ABV. This legendary bottle is housed within a handmade oak case crafted by the master cabinet makers of Charles Kirkby & Sons in Sheffield, England. Bowmore 38 has a complex aroma of passionfruit, shoe polish, pineapple rinds and fresh herbs, which leads to a palate accented by wine tannins, eucalyptus and mushrooms. The finish is exquisite, with light smoke, beeswax and dried figs coming together beautifully. Only 861 bottles of this whisky were ever produced — pick up a bottle today! About Bowmore Situated along the shores of Long Indaal, Bowmore Distillery was founded in 1779 by John Simpson. The distillery is the oldest distillery on the island of Islay and the second oldest in Scotland. Its unique location — Long Indaal suffers from steady gusts of wind and strong eddies that make its waters especially hazardous — plays an integral part in defining the lush, rich character of the Single Malt Whisky it produces. Bowmore’s Single Malt Whiskies are made from barley that has been expertly cultivated in the rolling hills of Scotland. Once the barley has been harvested, it is malted and peated at the distillery — Bowmore remains one of the few Scottish distilleries that continues to hand-turn, malt, and peat its own barley. Unlike some other distilleries on Islay, however, the drying process is much shorter at Bowmore — only 15 hours — and utilizes only half as much peat, resulting in a Whisky with a robust yet still mild smoky flavor.

Cadenhead Dufftown-Glenlivet 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$72.00 Availability: In StockAbout Cadenhead Dufftown-Glenlivet 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, the Dufftown Distillery was founded in 1895 by four wine merchants who, together, purchased a stone built saw and meal mill and converted into a distillery. Located near the confluence of the Rivers Dullan and Fiddich, the distillery draws its water from Jock’s Well, which is renown for its incredibly pure flavorful spring water (on more than one occasion, nearby distilleries — particularly Mortlach — have been caught attempting to divert water from the well to their own distillery). This Dufftown single malt Scotch whisky was crafted exclusively from malted barley, which was milled and mashed before being fermented in the distillery’s wooden washbacks. Following fermentation, the whisky was distilled twice: first through a copper pot wash still and then again through a copper pot spirit still. This single malt was produced during the time Dufftown adopted the Glenlivet moniker. Established in 1842, Cadenhead’s is Scotland’s oldest independent bottler. The company remained in the same family until 1972, when it was taken over by J. & A. Mitchell & Co. the owners of Springbank Distillery. This whisky was distilled in 1988, and bottled at 51.1% ABV. On the nose it opens up to reveal soft citrus and herbs with a hearty dose of brothy meatiness. The palate leads with spices and tropical fruits that give way to nuts and syrup and the finish is long and pleasant, fading slowly into oak spice. This is a very rare and unique limited bottling.

Longrow 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$135.00 Availability: In StockAbout Longrow 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Nearly two centuries ago, the town of Campbeltown, located on a narrow peninsula in southwest Scotland, was considered the whisky capital of the world. Passengers arriving by sea at Campbeltown Loch, nestled between Macringan’s Point and the rocky island of Davaar, were greeted with the sails and masts of the herring fishing fleet and the smoking chimneys of nearly thirty different distilleries that called Campbeltown home. Two-hundred years later, Campbeltown Loch is considerably quieter and only three chimneys continue to billow smoke — each acting as a beacon for an industry that, at one point, dominated the peninsula. In 1828, Springbank Distillery was founded on the site of Archibald Mitchell’s illicit still in Campbeltown (today, Mitchell’s great-great-great-grandson owns the distillery). Within ten years, its whisky was so well-regarded that a blender by the name of Johnnie Walker purchased 118 gallons at 43 pence a gallon. By the turn of the century — as worldwide demand for Scotch whisky seemed insatiable — distilleries throughout Scotland began cutting corners and outsourcing parts of the distillation process. Springbank Distillery, however, remained true to its Scottish heritage. Today, it remains one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform every step of the whisky making process — from malting barley to bottling whisky — on the same premises. Produced by Springbank Distillery, this Longrow 18 is dark and slightly mysterious, with a complex nose that unearths a peaty aroma reminiscent of dunnage warehouses.

Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge
$112.50 Availability: In StockAbout Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge was crafted in 1980 from a unique blend of organically grown apples. Lettelier chose a selection of bitter and bitter-sweet apple varieties, which were rich in tannins and acidity and ultimately provided the calvados with its smooth flavor and full body. Once the apples were harvested and pressed into a tart juice, the fresh cider was rested for ten months in a fermentation tank in order completely transform the sugars into alochol. Next, the cider was twice distilled through a pot still in the traditional Pays d’Auge method and then immediately transferred into oak barrels for maturation. Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge was matured in 1,200 liter oak barrels for 25 years, before being transferred into 400 liter barrels in 2005. After maturing for over 33 years, the calvados was brought to proof and bottled. It has a dark mahogany color, along with an aroma of bitter oranges, cocoa and ginger bread. Notes of dark chocolate, orange, citrus and caramel dominate the palate, and lead to a finish accented by tobacco leaves and coffee beans. Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge was named one of the top ten spirits of 2014 by F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal . Pick up a bottle today! About Manoir D’apreval Since the reign of Charlemagne in the 8th century, distilleries in the Lower Normandy region of France have been distilling calvados — a type of apple brandy. Calvados is made by harvesting and pressing fresh apples into a pulpy juice. The juice is then fermented into a dry cider, which is distilled before being matured in oak casks for a minimum of two years. Calvados has a long and rich history in France. When an outbreak of phylloxera devastated the vineyards of France, calvados experienced a golden age. In addition, during World War I, calvados was requisitioned by the French Army both as a drink for French soldiers to enjoy and, because of its alcohol content, for use in armaments. Manoir d’Apreval is a family-owned calvados distillery situated in the French commune of Honfleur, which sits in Normandy’s “Pays d’Auge” region, made famous for its production of apples and Camembert cheese. Established at the beginning of the 20th century by Victor Revillon, Manoir d’Apreval has since been stewarded by three generations of Revillon women — Victor’s wife, his granddaughter, and now his great granddaughter, Agathe Lettelier.

The Dalmore Distillery 1974 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
$1,575.00 Availability: In StockAbout The Dalmore Distillery 1974 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Dalmore Distillery 1974 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is part of the distillery’s “Rare and Prestigious”collection. The whisky was distilled in 1974 and matured for approximately 32 years in casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. After its three-decade long beautyrest, the whisky was finished in a single, thirty-year old Matusalem sherry butt from the Gonzalez Byass for an additional four years. “Only the best selected American white oak cask is used during the maturation process,” says Richard Paterson, Dalmore Distillery’s Master Distiller, “but it is the unique Matusalem sherry butt from Gonzalez Byass that transforms it into something so rich and intense.” The used sherry cask sourced from Spain contributes rich and opulent notes of raisins, caramelized orange, dates and figs to the whisky, and complement its notes of honeyed oak and cinnamon spice. Dalmore Distillery 1974 Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich, copper-reddish color, along with an aroma of roasted nuts, peach, honey and brown sugar. The notes of dried fruits, figs, raisins, cherries and raspberries complement notes of cola, cinnamon and woody spices, and add to a long, balanced finish. The whisky earned the Platinum Medal at the International Review of Spirits, and earned a score of 99 points from the Beverage Testing Institute, which said that the whisky was “amazingly rich and vibrant”and was blessed with a “a deep, feminine soul.” Only 948 bottles of this single malt were ever produced. Pick one up today! About The Dalmore Situated along the banks of Cromarty Firth in the Highlands region of Scotland, Dalmore Distillery was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, who had earned his fortune illegally importing opium from the Far East. In 1886, Matheson sold Dalmore Distillery to Clan MacKenzie, whose century-long stewardship and defining influence over the distillery is still evident today — the 12-point stag adorned on every bottle of Dalmore Distillery Whisky is derived from Clan MacKenzie’s coat of arms. Dalmore Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from plump, golden barley sourced from the rich, coastal soils of the Black Isle. Once the barley has been harvested, it is milled and mashed before being fermented with water drawn from the Cromarty Firth. Prior to reaching the firth, however, the water travels from Loch Morie through a number of peat bogs and limestone quarries, and t hus, contributes a slightly mineral and chewy mouthfeel to the whisky. Once the barley has been fermented, the wash is distilled twice, first through Dalmore Distillery’s copper-pot wash stills and then again through its copper-pot spirit stills. The wash stills have an unusually flat top, while the spirit stills are equipped with cold water jackets. This unusual equipment — the water jackets rinse cold water near the top of the still — makes it difficult for the lighter elements of the whisky to pass through the still, and ultimately results in a more opulent and rich whisky.

About Godet It was way back in 1588 that a Dutch merchant started his salt & wine business in La Rochelle, a harbor town in Western France. His name was Bonaventure Godet and he is counted among the first to start distilling his wine in order to minimize the cost of transportation, receiving the right to do so from Henry IV of France. La Rochelle is where the Arab distillation techniques were first used with locally-produced wine, so it is considered the birthplace of cognac. First known as “Dutch burnt wine” or “brandjwine”, it was the innovative Dutch traders and salt merchants such as Godet that were blazing a trail in cognac production. The business kept growing, so in 1782 Gédéon Louis Godet registered the cognac brand. Today, Godet Freres Cognac is a family-owned operation that is still based in the harbor and is run by the 15th generation of Godets with Jean Edouard Godet serving as Master Blender. Godet Cognac is known for its “floral nose, fruity palate, and a well-balanced length” and the uniqueness that aging the spirit by the Atlantic Ocean brings. < div class="brand-link"> Explore all Godet bottles >> About Cognac Cognac is a type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France.

$157.50 Availability: In StockAbout Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Chinese New Year 2022 Single Malt Scotch Whisky In 1886, William Grant, along with the help of his nine children and a single stone mason, began construction of the Glenfiddich Distillery, situated in the Speyside region of Scotland. After a year of hard labor, the first drop of whisky fell from the distillery’s copper-pot stills on Christmas Day 1887. Today, Grant’s passion, determination, and pioneering spirit continue to guide Glenfiddich Distillery, which is stewarded by the fifth generation of the Grant family. Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch is made exclusively from malted barley, which is milled and mashed with water sourced from Robbie Dhu spring. The crystal clear spring water, which is bottled directly at the source, is incredibly pure — the distillery purchased 1,200 acres around the spring decades ago in order to protect its unique water supply. After the barley has been mashed, it is fermented in wooden fermentation tanks made of Douglas Fir. While wooden fermentation tanks are more expensive and difficult to maintain as compared to stainless steel tanks, they absorb a portion of the heat generated during fermentation, and thus, enable a slower and longer fermentation process. Following fermentation, the wash is twice-distilled through Glenfiddich’s copper-pot stills (the distillery employs a craftsman onsite to tend to the stills, which are unique in shape and size) before the heart of the distillate is cut and prepared for maturation. Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured for 21 years in traditional oak casks. After its initial maturation, the whisky is double-barreled, or finished, for an additional four months in casks that were previously used to mature Caribbean rum. As a result of this finishing process, the whisky has a dark golden color, along with an aroma of figs, bananas, toffee, and new leather. The aroma gives way to notes of pepper, oak, citrus, ginger, and spices on the palate, and leads to a long, warming finish. The whisky earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2010, 2011, and 2013, and earned a score of 93 points from th e Beverage Testing Institute. This special-edition release of the 21-year-old whisky is the third and final of the Chinese New Year trilogy. Designed by illustrator Rlon Wang, the latest release features the iconic Glenfiddich stag along with festive graphics (Chinese lion, lanterns, lotus flowers, phoenix) that symbolize prosperity, wealth, and longevity in the coming year.

There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.) Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Glen Breton Rare 19 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey
$36.00 Availability: In StockAbout Glen Breton Rare 19 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey For starters, their whisky harnesses the pure water that flows from the Mabou Highlands, where it flows over granite, marble, and maple and apple tree roots. First, the harvested barley is brought into the distillery, soaked, and allowed to germinate. Next, it is transferred into a kiln building, where smoke and heat halt the germination process, making it ready to be ground and soaked in hot water that dissolves the sugar. Yeast is added to the cooled wort, bringing the alcohol content to 9% ABV. Finally, the liquid is distilled twice using copper pot stills. The new make spirit is then aged in oak casks in the warehouse, surrounded by apple and maple trees for at least 3 years. Their flagship Rare lineup of whiskies started with the 8 Year Old in 2000, with the oldest expression reaching 30 years of age. Glen Breton Rare 19 Year Old has spent 14 years in hand-picked American oak casks before being bottled at 86 proof.
