Sullivans Cove Double Cask Single Malt Whisky
$225.00 Availability: In StockAbout Sullivans Cove Double Cask Single Malt Whisky Sullivans Cove Single Malt Tasmanian Whisky is made from barley grown exclusively on the island of Tasmania. “The island’s deep red basalt soil, pure water and mild temperatures result in a barley that is perfect for distillation,” says Patrick Maguire, the distillery’s founder and master distiller (his ancestors were convicts that were imprisoned on the island). In addition, the island has one of the oldest and strictest quarantine programs in the world, ensuring that the barley remains untainted. Once the barley has been harvested, it is malted at the Cascade Brewery by Roger Ibbott, who has over four decades of experience malting barley. The malted barley is then mashed and fermented at Sullivans Cove Distillery using a unique strain of yeast developed specifically for the production of Sullivans Cove Whisky. Then, the wash is twice-distilled through a handmade copper-pot still. “The real trick is to cut the run short, so that only the sweetest, best flavors and purest alcohol from the heart of the run is captured”, says Macguire. “It’s not the most sensible approach by an accountant’s standards, but then it’s a good thing that we are not accountants!” Following distillation, Sullivan’s Cove Double Cask Single Malt Whisky is matured in a combination of American oak casks that were previously used to mature Jim Beam (two-thirds) and thirty-year old French oak casks that were previously used to mature port (one-third). After maturing for eleven years in each cask, the whiskies are married together, brought to proof and then bottled. Sullivan’s Cove Double Cask Single Malt Whisky has an aroma of soft spices and vanilla, which lead to notes of cloves, rock candy and pear. The well-rounded and smooth finish has a touch of oak and milk chocolate. The whisky earned the Gold Medal at the World Whisky Masters in 2011. Pick up a bottle today! About Sullivans Cove Situated along the banks of the River Derwent on the island of Tasmania, Sullivans Cove was the site of one of Britain’s first penal colonies in Australia. In 1804, at the order of the Governor Ki ng of the British settlement of New South Wales, Lt. John Bowen transported some of the most heinous British criminals to Sullivans Cove, which eventually developed into the city of Hobart. Hobart was the perfect penal colony — the area’s dense forests required a huge labor force in order to establish a settlement, and its isolation and inaccessibility ensured there was no escape. Today, the island of Tasmania remains of one the most isolated and natural places on earth — approximately 37% of the island is protected as natural reserves.

Bomberger’s Blended American Whiskey
$360.00 Availability: In StockAbout Bomberger’s Blended American Whiskey Bomberger’s Blended Whiskey is crafted in the traditional Pennsylvania rye style, which is known for being sweeter and more robust than whiskies made elsewhere. The whiskey, which is blended from a high-rye bourbon and McKenzie Rye Whiskey (from Finger Lakes Distilling Co.), is aged for a minimum of two-and-a-half years. The whiskey has beautiful aromas of candied orange and cherry, which lead to vanilla, caramel and baking spices on the palate. The whiskey finishes with hints of oak and citrus, enhanced by subtle tones of tobacco and leather. Pick up a historic whiskey today! About Bomberger’s The Bomberger’s Distillery legacy can be traced back to 1753, when two Swiss Mennonite farmers by the name of John and Michael Shenk began distilling rye whiskey on their farm near Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The distillery was passed down through relatives of the Shenk family until 1860 when the distillery was purchased (and subsequently renamed) by Pennsylvania Dutchman Adam Bomberger, who owned and operated the distillery until Prohibition forced its closing in 1919. At that time, Bomberger’s Distillery was the oldest operating distillery in the United States, and in many ways represented the transformation of whiskey distilling from an agricultural enterprise to a large-scale industrial one. Today, Bomberger Distillery is recognized as a national landmark and is undergoing a whiskey-making renaissance thanks to the stewardship of Dick Stoll, Bomberger’s master distiller. Trained by Everett Beam himself, Stoll is the former master distiller of Pennsylvania Michter’s, where he created the famed A.H. Hirsch Bourbon. Eric Wolfe, a business partner, involved in the revitalization of the Bomberger’s brand, has said of Stoll, who is now in his 80s, “He knows so many things from doing this for decades, that he doesn’t even know what he knows.” Explore all Bomberger’s bottles >> About American Whiskey There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don’t fall into those two strictly regulated categories. There’s equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels. And then there’s moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.

The series is comprised of 58 unique images taken by Erwitt that capture the essence of Scottish life. After the images were taken, a cask of whisky was paired with each of them (meaning 58 casks were paired in total) by The Macallan’s whisky maker to reflect the character of the photograph. In the United States, only ten different whisky-photo sets will be available. Each set includes a signed 11″x 14″ print and 375ml of the paired whisky in an antiqued flask, nested in a hollow of Erwitt’s enclosed book. The timeless quality of Erwitt’s work mirrors The Macallan’s history of excellence, while the wit and charm of his images warms you like a dram of the world’s best single malt. Only 320 sets are available in the United States. Pick one up today! About The Macallan Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid sowed the fields surrounding the rented home with barley and established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In the slow winter days, Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was often drunk straight from the still or sold to travelers passing through the town. Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estate’s Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky. After the harvest, the barley is malted and mashed in one of The Macallan’s two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallan’s copper-pot stills. The copper comprising the stills acts as a catalyst and enhances the formation of sweet esters while minimizing impurities such as sulfur. In addition, the curiously small stills — some of “the smallest stills within the Scotch whisky industry,” according to production manager Alexander Tweedie — produce a whisky with a heavy, oily flavor. Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16% of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This “cut,” which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and richer whisky.

Mortlach 1954 Rare Vintage 58 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$2,340.00 Availability: In StockAbout Mortlach 1954 Rare Vintage 58 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Situated in the heart of the Speyside region of Scotland, Dufftown is known the Whisky Capital of the World. The village, which produces more malt whisky than any other town in Scotland, is home to seven distilleries, the oldest of which is Mortlach Distillery. Mortlach Distillery was founded in 1823 by James Findlater, together with his friends Alexander Gordon and James Macintosh. In 1831, however, Findlater sold the distillery to John Robertson for the paltry sum of ₤270. In 1837, it was sold again to John and James Grant, who dismantled the distilling equipment and shuttered the doors to the distillery. For the next two decades, the building was used first as a brewery, and then, rather curiously, a church. In 1851, however, the distillery began producing whisky once more. Even at the time, it was an impressive distillery, according to the Wine & Spirits Trade Record . The distillery had two still-houses — “in one there are three old-fashioned stills…in the other there are three larger stills, installed in 1897.” The distillery also had “four gigantic malt floors, and the largest mash tun in the district.” Mortlach 1954 Rare Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled in 1954 and matured in a first fill sherry butt for 58 years before being bottled in 2012. The whisky has an aroma of dried pineapples, cocoa and sweet fruits that gives way to notes of oak, chili peppers, lemon drops, raisins and fresh tobacco on the palate.

The Malt Whisky Co. Glenglassaugh 40 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$1,035.00 Availability: In StockAbout The Malt Whisky Co. Glenglassaugh 40 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky Upon this realization, Glenglassaugh’s former master distiller hand-selected his favorite cask from the remaining cache. The whisky resting in the cask was distilled in 1973, and had matured for over forty years in a refill sherry hogshead barrel. After he purchased the cask, the whisky inside was bottled at cask strength. The Malt Whisky Co. Glenglassaugh 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich aroma of berries, brown sugar, apples and pears.

Only 254 bottles of this whisky were ever made, and only eleven remain that we’re aware of. Pick one up today! About The Malt Whisky Co. Eager to satisfy the growing demand for high-quality whisky from customers of his grocery store, James Moir established the Glenglassaugh Distillery in 1875. At the time, it was commonplace for store owners to distill or blend their own whisky (a store owner by the name of Johnnie Walker began blending whisky in the 1830s for his own customers). The location of Glenglassaugh Distillery — it is situated on the outskirts of Banffshire in the Highlands region of Scotland — was chosen because it offered ready access to an incredibly clean and pure water supply: Glassaugh Springs. In addition, the area is surrounded by fields of ripe, plump barley that are ideal for distillation. For over a hundred years, the Glenglassaugh Distillery operated at its original site, producing single malt whiskies that were best known for their starring roles in blended Scotch whiskies, including Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse. In 1986, however, production at the distillery ceased, and would not be restarted until 2008, when new owners took over Glenglassaugh. While the distillery is again producing new whisky, the new owners discovered they had purchased quite a bit more than the famous distillery itself: th e purchase also included a cache of some 400 casks of aging Glenglassaugh Single Malt whisky, each more than twenty years old.

Glenmorangie Pride 1978 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$3,825.00 Availability: In StockAbout Glenmorangie Pride 1978 Single Malt Scotch Whisky In 1978, Glenmorangie, a world- distillery located in the Highlands region of Scotland, distilled and laid down for maturation a single malt whisky in its finest first-fill bourbon casks. The whisky spent 19 years aging in those previous oak casks before Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Master of Whisky Creation, noticed the superb character that had developed, and had a radical idea to further enhance and transform the whisky. Rather than bottle the whisky shortly thereafter, Lumsden decided to age the whisky in the ex-Bordeaux casks for an incredible 15 years, the longest-ever period a Glenmorangie whisky has undergone additional maturation. “The wine barrels I used for the extra maturation were very rare, very special, and I wanted to try to get the very best out of them — and that’s ended up resulting in Pride 1978,” says Lumsden. Bottled in 2012, 34 years after the whisky was first distilled, Glenmorangie Pride 1978 is the rarest expression released by the distillery to date. Glenmorangie Pride 1978 is encased in a Baccarat Crystal decanter designed by Laurence Brabant and a custom gift case containing specially-commissioned artwork by Idris Khan, who was also born in 1978. Due to the extremely limited number of casks used in the aging process, only 700 bottles of this whisky have ever been made, and only a handful were allocated to the United States. Pick up this rare treasure today! About Glenmorangie In 1738, a brewery was built upon Morangie Farm in the Highlands region of Scotland. A century later, William Matheson acquired the farm and equipped the Morangie brewery with two stills that he purchased second-hand, and renamed the brewery-converted-distillery Glenmorangie. Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made using malted barley, which is mashed and fermented with water sourced from the Tarlogie Spring. The water produced from the spring, which spends nearly a century underground being filtered through layers of limestone before it is extracted, is unusually rich in minerals. In the 1980s, when development in the area threatened the spring’s water quality, Glenmorangie purchased 600 acres of land around and including the spring in order to ensure consistent water quality and adequate supply. After the barley has been fermented, the wash is twice distilled through Glenmorangie’s copp er-pot stills by a team of 16 distillers known as the Sixteen Men of Tain. Glenmorangie’s stills are equipped with relatively small boiler pots, which increases the exposure of the whisky to the copper, resulting in a more pure flavor. In addition, the stills are nearly seventeen feet tall — the tallest of any distillery in Scotland — and as a result, produce a lighter, more refined whisky.

Over the course of the 20th century, however, the distillery changed hands numerous times. In 1966, Port Ellen Distillery was reopened (it had been forced to close its doors as a result of Prohibition) and refurbished with four new stills heated by a mechanical coal stoker system. Although the distillery was forced to close its doors again in 1983 as a result of slumping demand, the whisky distilled in the 17 years between its re-opening and final closure has acquired a reputation as some of the finest to have been made on Islay in that time.

Patron Extra Anejo 7 Anos Tequila Limited Edition
$135.00 Availability: In StockAbout Patrón Extra Añejo 7 Años Tequila Limited Edition Francisco Alcaraz, Patrón Spirits Company’s international director and master distiller, has been with the company since its beginning. Alcaraz first created the recipe for Patrón when he was working at the Siete Leguas — one of Mexico’s oldest distilleries — which produced an early version of Patrón from 1989 until 2002. At Siete Leguas, Alcaraz perfected two very distinct ways of producing tequila, and when he transitioned to the new Patrón Tequila Company in the early 2000s, he brought with him his mastery of both techniques. Patrón Tequila is a blend of tequilas produced by two methods: the traditional method, which uses a tahona — a giant grinding stones that crushes baked agave (Patrón roasts its agave in brick ovens for exactly 79 hours) before fermentation and distillation — and a newer, mechanical method which shreds the agave in a roller mill. After it has been crushed, the agave is fermented for at least three days before being distilled through hand-made copper stills at Hacienda Patrón. Patrón Limited Edition Extra Añejo 7 años Tequila was aged in French oak for seven years — far beyond the minimum three years which is required to call tequila “extra añejo” — in a hidden corner of one of Hacienda Patrón’s barrel-aging rooms. According to Production Manager Antonio Rodriguez, “We had checked [the barrels] after 8 months to see if they were ready for reposado. It wasn’t the type we wanted. We passed on it again when we tried it for añejo. By the time we checked the tequila again, it was seven years old — and very different.” So special, in fact, that Master Distiller Francisco Alcaraz decided to bottle it as Patrón’s oldest first-ever limited-edition release. As a result of the extra-long aging process, Patrón Limited Edition Extra Añejo 7 Años Tequila has an intense amber and golden color, along with an aroma of dried fruits, melted butter, oak tannins and vanilla. The palate is filled with more dried f ruits, as well as a robust citrus character and light caramel sweetness. The finish is long and complex, with woody notes that continue to evolve on the tongue. “It’s a happy accident of aging, temperature, wood and where the barrels were placed,” says Rodriguez. “We didn’t set out to make it, and we can’t make any more.” Only 700 cases of this spectacular tequila will ever be produced. Pick up a bottle of this limited edition tequila today, before it’s gone forever! About Tequila Although tequila has developed a bad reputation, there’s more to the spirit than just shots on a Saturday night. This traditional Mexican drink origins in the state of Jalisco when according to a local legend, lightning struck an agave cactus before the Nahua tribe drank its warm nectar. Behold, tequila. Legally, tequila has to be made of 51% of Blue agave around the Jalisco region in Mexico. There are different types of tequila according to age – from the youngest representatives, blanco, reposado, and añejo, to the oldest extra añejo.

The stills at this early Clynelish were coal-fired, and once electricity came to the forefront of whisky production in the mid-20th century, a new Clynelish Distillery — complete with electric-powered stills — was built in 1967, prompting the renaming of the old Clynelish to “Brora Distillery.” Until 1873, most of the whisky produced at Brora was subsequently supplied to blenders to help address a shortage of Islay whisky at the time. Afterwards, the distillery (which boasted a recently reconstructed mash house) began producing its own whisky in a style somewhere between the lightly peated Highlands and more heavily peated Islay — ultimately, however, Brora couldn’t keep up with the more modern productions methods used at the adjacent Clynelish Distillery, and in 1983 Brora Distillery was mothballed forever.

About Port Ellen Situated along the Kildalton coast on the island of Islay, Port Ellen Distillery was founded in 1825 by Alexander Ker Mackay. At the time, the distillery became renown for its innovative and experimental techniques: it was the first distillery to incorporate Septimus Fox’s spirit safe design into its distillation process, and was one of the first distilleries to trade directly with the United States. Over the course of the 20th century, however, the distillery changed hands numerous times. In 1966, Port Ellen Distillery was reopened (it had been forced to close its doors as a result of Prohibition) and refurbished with four new stills heated by a mechanical coal stoker system. Although the distillery was forced to close its doors again in 1983 as a result of slumping demand, the whisky distilled in the 17 years between its re-opening and final closure has acquired a reputation as some of the finest to have been made on Islay in that time.

Laphroaig 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$157.50 Availability: In StockAbout Laphroaig 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Situated on the southern coast of Islay, Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) Distillery was founded nearly two centuries ago by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The distillery derives its name from the ancient Gaelic word “lag”(meaning hollow) and the ancient Norse word “vik” (meaning bay), which refers to its location on the shores of Loch Laphroaig. In 1836, Donald Johnston offered his brother £350 for his interests the distillery, and ultimately became the sole proprietor of Laphroaig Distillery. For over a century, the distillery would remain in the hands of one of Johnston’s descendants. In 1954, however, Ian Hunter passed away childless and bequeathed the distillery to Bessie Williamson, a secretary that had been working at the distillery for two decades. Hunter was incredibly protective of the distillery — while he slowly revealed its secrets to Williamson after she had earned his trust, Hunter prevented a cooper who was employed at the distillery from publishing his memoirs because they described the workings of the distillery in too great a detail. Laphroaig Single Malt Whisky is one of the most flavorful and intense whiskies made anywhere in the world. During Prohibition, it was one of the few whiskies still legally imported into the United States, as it was considered a medicinal spirit. Laphroaig Single Malt is made from the finest Scottish barley, which is then malted at the distillery and smoked over a peat flame. Unlike other distilleries which source peat from the Scottish mainland, the peat used to smoke Laphroaig barley is made of from the heather, mosses and lichens of Islay and adds a distinct iodine-like flavor to the whisky. After the barley has been malted and peated, it is fermented before being twice-distilled through Laphroaig’s copper-pot stills. The unique stills have an usually flat base and flat surfaces, which lends to the overall intensity of the whisky. After the whisky has been distilled, it is aged in seasoned oak barrels, which are re-charred prior to being filled. The re-charring process caramelizes the remaining sugars in the barrel, and adds slightly sweet notes of vanilla and nutty dough to the whisky. Originally launched in the 1980s, Laphroaig 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky quickly became a fan favorite, with popularity culminating in 2000 when it was chosen by the Prince of Wales for the “Erskine Charity Bottling”. While the 15 year old expression was eventually replaced by Laphroaig’s now-standard 18 year old, in honor of the distillery’s bicentennial in 2015, Laphroaig has re released a special 200th Anniversary Edition of the Laphroaig 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Crafted in the exact same fashion as it was 30 years ago, Laphroaig 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has an initial aroma of mint and grapefruit, as well as saltwater, peat smoke and apple orchards. On the palate, the whisky is dry and peppery, with touches of leather and tobacco leading to a mellow finish that’s underpinned by subtle notes of peat, almonds and dates. Laphroaig 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was pre-released to the distillery’s 650,000 “Friends of Laphroaig” earlier this year, but sold out within hours. Pick up a bottle on Caskers today!

Russell’s Reserve 1998 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
$1,755.00 Availability: In StockAbout Russell’s Reserve 1998 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Back in 1998, Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie — now joint master distiller of Wild Turkey — decided to lay a select few barrels (23 to be exact) down to rest, intending to save them for a special occasion. At that point, Jimmy had spent 45 years at the distillery, and it was presumed he would retire later that year. Fate had other plans in store, however, and today Jimmy Russell remains Wild Turkey’s joint master distiller with 61 years of experience under his belt. In 2014, Eddie was checking on these special barrels when he noticed they were evaporating much quicker than anticipated. He shared some samples with his father, and the duo decided not to wait: they’d found something spectacular and wanted to share it with the world immediately. “Typically, a bourbon this old picks up a lot of flavor from the barrel and can taste quite woody and dry. We like to retain the caramel, vanilla and fruity notes in our whiskies and this particular liquid seemed to reach a sweet spot around the 15 year mark,” says Eddie. “It was important for us to stop the aging before those less desirable flavors took over the overall profile of the bourbon. I guess I am going to have to find another bourbon to celebrate Jimmy’s retirement… if that ever happens.” Caskers has secured an extremely limited number of bottles for our members, so make sure you pick up a bottle today! About Russell’s Reserve 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-hunting trip with a group of friends. The following year, his friends asked him to bring “some of that wild turkey whiskey” on their next hunting trip, and the distillery was renamed Wild Turkey. Since 1954, Wild Turkey Distillery has been operating under the tutelage of Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. “I’ve never been drunk,” says Russell, who is a genuine bourbon aristocrat and a living legend in the business, “but I love my work. People tell me, “I hate to get up and go to work,” he says. “I go seven days a week. You know, on Saturdays and Sundays, I may go out there and sit around for an hour or so.” Explore all Russell’s Reserve 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.
