This wild barrel of teaspooned Islay malt was filled into a single hogshead on November 24th of 1997. The distiller in questions, Ardbeg, does not like to have its name adorn products it did not bottle and during this period which represented a significant transition for the distillery, many deals were made to acquire the product, but obscure its origins. Indeed, this is no single malt. It would have been teaspooned (administratively or literally) with another Islay malt distilled on or before November 1997. But the source of whisky is unquestionably tha...

Faultline draws a line in the sand. The reference is meant to invoke the tectonic shift that any Faultline bottling brings to the table. Each seeks to provide an experience so far beyond its price point and create so much value that it should send shockwaves through the market. We strive with each Faultline bottling to put incredible unique products into the bottle and charge an unbelievable price. This set of six casks was selected by the K&L Spirits team and bottled in summer of 2024. Each label of this edition of Faultline showcases the work of young ...

Signatory has long been one of the preferred independent bottlers on the market. For almost three decades now, we've been selling Signatory because their cask selection process is second to none in the industry. They also have a knack for building incredible collections of rare casks, so walking through their warehouse is an absolute dream. As you pass Bowmore from the 70s and Port Ellen, you'll stumble by Dallas Dhu and Rosebank. Yet it's some of the modern stocks that are most shocking! Highland Park on its own is pretty rare outside of distillery bott...

The incredible Dornoch Distillery is easily the most exciting new distillery operation in Scotland today. Run by brothers Phil & Simon Thompson, they understand the desires of true whisky lovers like few other distillers in the region. While their tiny distillery can only produce a handful of barrels a year, they're in the process of building a much more substantial plant and while we wait, they've built an excellent independent bottling operation known as Thompson Bros (Redacted Bros stateside.) This special whisky pays homage to their home region, a ...

This sister cask to last years exceptoinally well liked DRU 17/A197 #5. It's definitely from that special estate called Easter Elchies but they cannot put the name on the label. I'm happy to tell you that it was distilled at Macallan and filled into refill sherry puncheon in 2009. The resulting whisky is quite unlike modern Macallan with the rich maltiness and framed by the influence of the large oloroso sherry puncheon nicely, but not covering it completely. It is not, like so many IB Macallans, completely naked and these puncheons have a nice honeyed c...

This is the Thompson Brothers foray into the world of blending. It's also proof that they've got some of the absolute best palates in the business. They seem to be getting access to stocks where others struggle, and this little vatting of over 8-year-old malts is one of the most intriguing and delicious malts on our shelves at any price point. SRV5 refers to Station Road Vat 5, the wooden vessel where this whisky is mingled before bottling. The Dornoch boys bottle in very small batches and the source material is of the highest quality.

This stupendous barrel of the famous Speyside distillery is a throwback to a simpler time when dense dark high proof sherry malt could be acquired for a reasonable price. The barrel in question was filled in 2007 into a first fill sherry butt and aged for 17 years in First Fill Oloroso sherry before being dumped and bottled at cask strength. It was not chillfiltered or colored. K&L has been lucky enough to bottle several signatory Glenlivets from this period and they never disappoint. This barrel was not bottled exclusively for K&L but is sold exclusivel...

92 points Whisky Advocate: "Sweet, with subtle, crisp, nutty oak, then comes fudge, ripe banana, and peach. The overall effect is like eating vanilla ice cream with toffee fudge and hazelnut sprinkles. The structure is thick and physical, the palate sweet and quite fat, with light hints of raspberry, fruit salad. A jag of acidity freshens the delivery on the finish. With water there’s more toffee, and it becomes slightly more yielding, with less oak. For me the gold standard of grain. (DB, Fall 2015)" 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "The name of this whisky ...

The spectacular Kanosuke distillery melds tradition and innovation unlike any other in the world. Based a short drive from the southern city of Kagoshima, the prefecture is the heart of distillation in Japan. The heat and humidity of the southern Island of Kyushu create an environment much more suited for distillation than the long slow fermentations needed for high quality Sake.

Here's a fabulous follow-up to the exceptionally good 25-year-old unpeated Ardmore that we featured in last year's Whisky Season. This much for typical Ardmore was peated to the usual medium level of around 14 ppm. Of course, this is using highland peat sourced from terrestrial vegetation rather than the Islay peat which is composed of ocean vegetation. Filled into a high-quality 2nd fill ex-bourbon barrel in July of 2009, it was bottled at cask strength of 57% abv without the use of coloring or chillfiltration.

This prized bottle from Scotland's wee Edradour distillery is named after musician Dougie MacLean's Caledonia guitar. MacLean was visiting Edradour in the summer of 2009 to help select the first cask and take part in the bottling. Remember that only 3 men work at the distillery, and they are only able to produce about 12 casks a week, which is barely enough to satisfy any kind of commercial demand. Their standard 10-year-old bottling is one of the most unique whiskies in existence and one of the regular favorites on our shelves. The 12 year is unchill...

We've had a roller coaster of a relationship with Single Grain whisky at K&L. The redheaded stepchild of Scotch, it's long been a category requiring significant amounts of education. If it wasn't super old and cheap most people turned their noses up at it after being ingrained with the pre-conception that good scotch is single malt, hard stop full stop. But occasionally we come across a barrel so unique that it defies those pre-conceptions.

This may be the youngest single grain we've ever bottled, but we did so with good reason. The facility is notable for being the very first in Scotland to install a column still and begin producing single grain whisky for blending way back in the 1840s. It sits just across the Fife of Forth from Ediburgh and remains one of the most important production facilities in the Diageo portfolio.
