Shhhhhhhhhhh! Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters

Shhhhhhhhh

So let's all keep this on the hush hush. After two years of being told the Fee Brothers American whiskey barrel aged bitters were allocated to bars and restaurants only I think they got tired of me asking and decided to give us six bottles. Don't know if we'll ever get these again but I guess persistence does pay off. Anyway they are behind the counter so make sure to ask if you want them. Cheers

New Scotches!

Hey guys,

So I happily grabbed a few off the beaten path Scotches to add to our collection. Check these out:

-Gordon & MacPhail "Glenturret" 11 Year Highland Single Malt (arguably my favorite unpeated Scotch in the store right now, beautiful oak tannins make for an engaging texture and it has this really unique lemon zest flavor in the finish.)

-Blackadder "Laphroaig" 13 Year Islay Single Malt Raw Cask (probably the best Laphroaig bottling I've ever tried. Offered at cask strength, non-chill filtered and non-sediment filtered. There are literally chunks of barrel floating around in this bottle, which makes it as concentrated and flavorful as possible)

-Gordon & MacPhail "Coal Ila" 14 Year Islay Single Malt Finished in Heritage Casks (Unbelievably soft and approachable Coal Ila offering finished in red wine barrels for 30 months. A subtle red fruit sweetness combines with notes of peat smoke, gravel and sea weed, making this a very well balanced Islay Scotch.)

-Benromach 10 Year Speyside Single Malt Finished in Burgundy Wine Casks (made at the smallest distillery in Speyside and finished an unheard of 7 years in Burgundy Pinot Noir barrels. This is one of the best red wine finished bottlings I've tried.)

All four of these are one off's, so once their gone their gone. Cheers

Buffalo Trace Experimental!

Hey all,

Got an extremely limited quantity of last years experimental collection in. These sold out fast when I first got them a year ago and definitely won't be made again. This is the re-discovered barrel series, bourbon they lost track of after they bought the old charter brand many years ago. We have the 17, 19 and 21 year expressions. Get em while you can.

New Arrival: Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch #3!

Hey all,

I'm unbelievably excited to announce the arrival of the Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch #3. This is an extremely limited single malt from Balvenie with some of the oldest stock in their warehouses. For this offering they have vatted together 10 casks in all, 7 refilled bourbon barrels and 3 sherry butts. Most of the whisky was put in barrels in the 70's, the oldest cask coming from 1967 and the youngest some time in the 80's. Essentially they've married together 30-40 year old stocks of whisky in their large Tun 1401 vat, producing one of the best expressions ever to come out of the distillery. Just to put it in perspective, their regular 30 year bottling retails for $800-$1,000. We have the Tun 1401 for about 1/4 that price, which is a pretty ridiculous value. Only got a few bottles so get it while you can. Cheers
