Auchentoshan Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Auchentoshan

750 ml | 46% ABV
Whiskey | Scotch

Nestled at the base of the Kilpatrick Hills in Western Scotland, Auchentoshan Distillery, established in 1800, stands as one of the few remaining Lowland Single Malt Whisky distilleries. It has earned the moniker "Glasgow's Distillery" for its close proximity to the city and is known for its whisky's nickname, "breakfast whisky," owing to its delightful sweetness and elegant texture. During World War II, the distillery endured relentless bombings, resulting in the loss of much of its maturing whisky to fire or the Clyde River that flows alongside. Despite the challenges, Auchentoshan was rebuilt after the war, serving as a testament to Scottish resilience and ingenuity.

Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted using carefully malted, unpeated optic barley. After malting, the barley is milled, mashed, and then fermented in wooden washbacks made of Oregon Pine. Though wooden washbacks are costlier and require more upkeep than stainless steel, they retain some of the fermentation's warmth, yielding a lighter and slightly sweeter whisky.

Following fermentation, the whisky is triple distilled using Auchentoshan's copper pot stills, unlike the traditional double distillation found in Scotch whisky. This additional distillation stage, unique among major Scottish distilleries, involves passing the spirit through a wash still, intermediate still, and finally, a spirit still. This extra distillation imparts a purer and more refined character to the whisky, setting it apart from others.

Auchentoshan Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky exclusively matures in newly charred casks made of North American oak. While Scotch traditionally matures in used sherry, port, or bourbon casks, employing new oak casks as a finishing technique allows the whisky to embrace the sweeter and more complex flavors of virgin wood. The whisky is then bottled without chill filtration or artificial coloring, preserving its authentic character.

This expression reveals enticing aromas of banana custard, creamy vanilla, and caramel apples. On the palate, one can savor spiced fruits, notably kiwi, oranges, and apples, culminating in a lingering touch of spiced pears. Auchentoshan Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky offers a truly delightful and flavorful experience for whisky enthusiasts seeking unique and enticing expressions.

The Whistler 'How The Years Whistle By' 10 Year Old

The Whistler

750 ml | 46% ABV
Whiskey | Irish

Drogheda is one of the oldest Irish towns where the first written records of whiskey production date back to 1556. The town has a rich history of whiskey distilling and had 18 operating distilleries in 1774. As we know, Irish whiskey was in decline in the 20th century, due to the civil war, trade dispute with the UK, and Prohibition in the US with only a handful distilleries remaining operational, none of those in Drogheda. Boann Distillery joined the resurgence of Irish whiskey in 2019, producing the first spirit in the town in more than 160 years. The company was launched by Patrick and Marie Cooney with several other family members. Backed by 40 years of experience in the industry, the family has the know-how, skill, and passion to create premium Irish whiskey. On one hand, they honor the rich tradition of Irish whiskey, on the other they take innovative approaches using cutting-edge technology which includes their state-of-the-art brewhouse and unique 3 copper-pot stills that use nanotechnology all with the goal of creating some of the finest whiskey and craft gin. All the ingredients are 100% natural, including locally-grown barley from native farmers and water from the Boyne Valley well. The operation is overseen by Michael Walsh. Ireland's youngest head distiller has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge during his Chemical Engineering studies and when getting his Certificate in Distilling in 2012, quickly rising through the ranks. They recycle their water and harness the heat that is generated during distillation, which then helps run their packaging lines and heat their restaurant, visitor center, and offices. Distillation byproducts are used as animal feed. Their Single Malt series contains a threesome of Irish Single Malts, How the Years Whistle By being the oldest of the bunch. The sourced whiskey was first aged for 8 years in first-fill Bourbon barrels before spending an additional 2 years in oak Oloroso sherry casks. Complex, rich, and smooth, it's bottled at 92 proof without chill filtration or added coloring.

Hibiki 17 Year Old Japanese Whisky

Suntory

750 ml | 43% ABV
Whiskey | Japanese

In February 1899, Shinjiro Torii opened a store in Osaka, Japan that traded imported wines. Within a decade, Torii began producing his own sweet grape wine called Akadama Port Wine, which became wildly popular throughout Japan. In 1923, Torri fascinated by whisky his entire life decided to expand his business and began construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Japan's first-ever whisky distillery. Although inspired by traditional Scottish distilleries, Torii envisioned a uniquely Japanese approach to whisky and chose a location for his distillery that offered a climate and terrain that were completely different to those of Scotland. Nestled on the periphery of Kyoto, Yamazaki Distillery is situated at the confluence of three rivers the Katsura, Uji and Kizu that provide the warm, damp environment ideal for the production and maturation of whisky. Fifty years after the construction of Yamazaki Distillery, Keizo Saji inherited his father's vision and constructed Suntory's second distillery. Situated amidst the deep forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in Japan's southern Alps, the Hakushu Distillery enjoys a unique microclimate as a result of being surrounded by nearly 6,000 varieties of plants and thousand-year-old granite rocks. Hibiki 17 Year Old Japanese Whisky is crafted from a blend of over 30 unique whiskies produced at both Yamazaki Distillery and Hakushu Distillery, including some that have matured in previously-used Umeshu casks (Umeshu casks are specially coopered casks that are used in the maturation of plum liqueur). "This is all done by hand the traditional way," says Osamu Abe, the manager of Yamazaki Distillery, referring to the cooperage taking place at the distillery. "This is called yagura craftsmanship. You must watch and listen to how they're made. In Japan, we say "use all 5 senses.' Of course we learn from others, but our own senses are key." After each whisky used to craft Hibiki Whisky has matured for a minimum of 17 years, the whisky is brought to proof using pure Japanese spring water. Hibiki, which translates to "resonance" in English, echos the unique environment in which the whisky is distilled and matured. Hibiki 17 has an aroma of peaches, melons, apricots and lemon leaves that gives to notes of black cherry, toffee vanilla and oak on the palate. The finish sweet and fruity, with a touch of lychee. Hibiki 17 Year earned the Gold Medal at the International Spirits Competition in 2012 and 2013. In addition, it was named the "Best Japanese Blended Whisky" at the World Whiskies Awards.
