The beauty of the Thompson Brothers is that they're willing to take risks. This offering is indeed a risky proposition for a bottler, the very reason the big guys were willing to let it go. On paper it reads like a very expensive blended scotch. But why add an age statement, when a 12-year-old Johnnie Walker is a fraction of the price? The age statement tells the entire story here and our friends at Dornoch care little for artificial labels and quality statements, all they care about is getting damn good whisky into your glass for an incredible price. So...

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 were 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.

Domaine du Cardinat has been in the Lalanne family for over a century. Farmer and grandfather of the current proprietor, Patricia Singh, built the family home at the domaine 100 years ago and cultivated the land long before that. In 1935, Joseph Lalanne's sudden death thrust Patricia's father, Camille into the fields forcing him to leave school and commit his life to the family domaine. Just four years later, Camille planted the first vines at the domaine and his life was devoted to this patient passion. There he worked tirelessly to produce great brandy...

A rare independently bottled Aberlour, made that much more unusual by its maturation in a first fill sherry butt. The Aberlour distillery sits on the edge of its namesake, a gorgeous little hamlet right at the center of the Speyside region. The distillery seems tiny from the outside, but the malt here packs a punch. Founded in 1879 by James Fleming, it's become a pillar of the Chivas family in the last two decades since the French spirits giant Pernod Ricard purchased the distillery. Outfitted with 4 stills in the early 70s, it can produce nearly 4 milli...

The El Tesoro brand remains on fire, especially the repo which is becoming increasingly had to get a hold of. Fortunately we locked in this K&L Exclusive barrel of repo last year before the impending price increases, so we've got a chance for folks to stock up on one of the most sought after additive free Tequilas from the Camarena family. This particular barrel was in ex-Bourbon and yielded 240 bottles. Like all of El Tesoro's single barrels, this stands a cut above the regular repo as each barrel in the program was individually selected out of the ware...

Here's another stupendous cask from our friends at Wathen's. If you don't already know, Wathen's (bottled by father and son team Charles & Sam Medley) is one of the country's most well respected non-distillery producers. We refer to them as non-distillery producer rather than non-distiller producer because of course Charles Medley is one of Kentucky's most well respected distillers. He had decades of experience running the old Owensboro plant, before moving toward contract production. That means he's got a special relationship with his contracted produce...

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 ...

This new brand coming from the exceptional Cascahuin distillery is one of the first from the lowland masters to explore wine cask finishing. Luckily the brand owners are extremely conscientious and have been careful to avoid masking the wonderful Cascahuin spirit with the fresh Bordeaux barrels they use to rest the blanco tequila. They use a blend of grand cru classé Pessac-Léognan and reused oak from previous batches to retain the incredible agave flavors. Just under the legal limit for reposado, this tequila spent just 45 days in 100% French oak barrel...

From the historic Louis Roque distillery located in the sleepy town of Souillac. Imported by the inimitable Charles Neal, Roque specializes in Vieille Prune from Gascony. Perhaps the finest in its class, certainly the best of what's available in the states, the spirit is distilled using only the best Gascogne Plums. With the depth of a cognac and the finesse of a plum brandy, this Vieille Prune has an unparalleled richness. Bursting with Asian spice and ripe fruit, you'll want to keep this one in stock once you've tried it.

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "This elegant single malt from Nikka bears a dark, vibrant gold color, with smoke and caramel aromas. On the palate, look for well-balanced notes of citrus peel, cedar and oak, and a gentle waft of smoke. An astringent sensation on the finish sets the mouth watering, leading to a full-bodied, almost oily texture. Recommended for sipping neat.

This incredible new Tequila from the Cascahuin distillery (NOM 1123) has been generating quite the buzz. It is certified additive-free, and made using very ripe agaves grown in Michoacán. The agaves are cooked via steam injection in Cascahuin's traditional stone ovens for 3 days, then given an extra day to cool down before being crushed on the distillery's roller mill. Fermentation occurs in stainless tanks before the double distillation begins. The first distillation happens on Cascahuin's stainless steel alembic still with a copper coil, and the 2nd di...

The famous Jack Daniels distillery was never a rye producing plant, but over the last several years a push toward innovation has created some oppurtunities to explore new horizons.

Proofs will range from 125-140 proof depending on the botlting. It's made from a mashbill of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley. After many years in those hot high Lynchburg summers, the intense flavors of the rye mash...

This lovely little barrel of rye is one of the first single barrels from the beautiful Castle & Key distillery to make it to California. The work of the C&R team is second to none in the industry and even more impressive considering it was all done within the historic walls of the Old Taylor Distillery. Millions of dollars were spent refurbishing the facility and they've now got inarguably one of Kentucky's most picturesque.
