This extremely limited 2019 release from Highland Park never made its way to California, until now! Only 580 bottles were produced and we've secured the lion's share for K&L (The rest was only available in New York). The original release featured 3 casks, each cask celebrating the elements that make Highland Park unique. The Cask Of The Forest is a tribute to Highland Park's incredible wood policy and the influence that it has on the whisky. Oak for this cask was sustainably sourced from a forest in the North of Spain before being carefully seasoned with...

The wonderful Glen Scotia distillery has long been a favorite of Campbeltown lovers. For ages the mostly unknown distillery was not open to the general public and it quietly made excellent, if slightly idiosyncratic malt, to be used in blends and sold occasionally as single malt. The distillery was founded in 1832 and is only one of two historic distilleries in the once important whisky region of Campbeltown to make it through to modern times. It was subject to a management buyout in 1987 and remained in private hands until purchase by the Loch Lomond gr...

For years, we'd dreamed of creating an inexpensive, delicious, value-driven, yet simultaneously interesting expression of blended Scotch whisky that we could feature under our Faultline label. There were many times when we thought we were close, but either the quality of the whisky or the cost of the barrels proved prohibitive. We didn't want to make a $25 bottle of whisky just for the sake of it. If we were going to do it, then we were going to it right. Finally, after working on and off with the Laings for a year-long blending process, we hammered out ...

There isn't much that needs to be said about this. Mortlach meet sherry, sherry Mortlach. Two and a half decades later the marriage is still a perfect one. What's the secret? Listening and mutual respect or raw unbridled attraction? Probably both. There may be no right answer, but no one questions that these two belong together. The Mortlach distillery, known locally as the "Beast of Dufftown," is one of those great distilleries that has never been given proper attention by its owners. The distillery has quietly been a key component in the great Scotch b...

94 points Whisky Advocate: "Launched in 2003, Uigeadail remains one of Ardbeg’s core offerings. Matured in a mix of sherry and bourbon barrels and bottled at cask strength. Peppery peat, warm tar, coffee grounds, machine oil, and black pepper on the nose. The palate is complex and rich, offering orange segments sprinkled with sea salt, dark chocolate, malt, and ever-present sweet peat. Nicely balanced. Lengthy in the finish, with smoky caramel.

The wonderful Pulteney Distillery in the town of Wick is one of the north coast's most well loved. While it remains under the radar to the greater drinking public, the Scotch community has long sung its praises. The distillery is one of the few that still manages to sell the odd cask here and there, but until recently it was relatively unusual to see on the Independent Bottlers lists. We've recently picked up a few casks and very rarely do the malts from this seaside distiller ever let us down. The distillery itself, located on the eastern coast of the n...

This picturesque distillery has long been a critical component to the Chivas Regal profile. While the distillery is widely used in blends, it's rarely bottled as a single malt. It can be a bit of a tricky malt to work with, but when a cask is in its prime - it's sublime. The oldest licensed distillery in Scotland, Strathisla has been making whisky since 1786 - a year before the US Constitution was signed. While it was a famous malt in the early part of the 20th century, it's been all but absent the market for decades. The exception, as with so many top n...

The excellent distillery that's garnering so much hype these days was unheard of just a few years ago. While the distillery is focused mainly on the heavy sherry offerings, this exciting first fill ex-bourbon cask is a window into the unique character of this special distillery. Opened relatively late in 1967 just outside of the town of Aberlour, it's in very good company geographically. Directly to the north is the wonderful Aberlour distillery and to the west Dailuaine. Due south you'll find Benrinnes and a bit further GlenFarclas. Finding an expressio...

The wild peated malt from the Tobermory distillery has slowly but surely gathered a serious following over the years. Ledaig (pronounced lay-chick) is one of Scotland's most idiosyncratic spirits. Often there's a desire to compare it to its smoke island sisters on Islay to the south, but the whisky truly has its own character and isn't easily compared to any other distillers out there. Located on the picturesque and farflung Isle of Mull, the tiny town of Tobermory is famous for its colorful houses. The whisky distillery there was founded in 1798 making ...

Tomatin is a fascinating distillery with a unique history and many incarnations, from starting as a bulk blender and supplier to eventually shifting to a steadfast focus on quality single malt production. From the early 1900s through the mid '70s, Tomatin grew continuously. They added stills multiple times as demand for their product increased exponentially. By 1975, they were the largest single malt production facility in Scotland. Sadly, due to market forces, they never operated at their full capacity. By the mid '80s, the massive bust in the market fo...

The always impressive Highland Park is one of Scotland's most reliable malts. The often awarded distillery is a favorite of many, yet has remained slightly in the shadows. One of the few things that the distillery lacked, despite countless unique and collectible bottlings, was a regular cask strength expression. Thankfully, someone was convinced that the quality level was a solid addition to the already excellent regular line up and even more impressively they've decided to offer small batch releases, so each time they bottle we'll get a different window...

Wine Enthusiast: "Although the “Botanist” name might suggest a floral gin, instead the flavor profile veers toward herbs and spices. There’s a subtle, herbal scent, with anise flavors up front, backed by coriander seed and cassia bark on the spicy finish. Made by Bruichladdich Distillery, which is renowned for its Scotch, on a pot-still named Ugly Betty. Sold in an attractive, square-shouldered, gift-worthy bottle.

Mellow honey and smooth, nutty flavors taper off into a long fade that shows vanilla, citrus, sweet spices and a hint of cocoa. (KN)" (12/2017) 90 points Whisky Advocate: "Two oaks are better than one in this single malt, which marries whiskies matured in sherry-seasoned casks of both American and European oak. The sherry imparts aromas of raisins, figs, hazelnuts, blanched almonds, candied orange peel, and leather. A backbone of vanilla sweetness ...
This exquisit example of the special Speysider is bottled under Massimo Righi's exceptionally beautiful "Whisky Is Nature." The majestic depiction of an African Bull Elephant adorns the label appropriately hinting at the deep and complex nature of the whisky inside. This single cask #2280 turned out 480 bottles at cask strength, but only 36 bottles made it to the US and is sold exclusively at K&L Wine Merchants.

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "The nose on this copper-hued single malt shows caramel and a hint of smoke. The expansive, rounded flavors seem to gain intensity with every sip—dark toffee, espresso, cocoa and oak meld with peat smoke, leading into a warming, cinnamon-accented finish. *Top 100 Spirits of 2019* (KN)" (12/2019) 92 points Whisky Advocate: "GlenDronach 15 year old Revival went on hiatus three years ago due to a shortage.

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Silky and downright succulent, this Scotch is made with two types of oak casks—as the DoubleWood name suggests—but it’s really all about the influence of the ex-Sherry cask. Aromas suggest golden raisins and dried apricots. The silky palate starts out moderately smoky, but glides into a richer, honeyed, nutty profile that finishes with cocoa and clove accents.

This lovely barrel of Glasgow Blend was selected by the Southern California Whisky Club. It consists of the classic Glasgow blend finished in old single grain barrels, specifically one used to age the Cameronbridge grain. The club has extended special pricing to the public until they've had their upcoming tasting of this cask and many more Compass Box originals. Check out their upcoming tastings at www.southerncaliforniawhiskeyclub.com for more details. After that the price will return to $55.

The long and complicated history of BenRiach includes an optimistic vision, a long closure, a rebirth, a short closure, and finally, a modern renaissance - of which we are now in full swing. Built in 1897 by John Duff, BenRiach sits nextdoor to Duff's hugely successful Longmorn distillery. BenRiach boasts a huge floor malting facility and five on site, old school stone-walled and earthen-floored dunnage warehouses making it one of the most traditionally styled distilleries in all of Scotland. Sadly, shortly after it was built, the market fell out of Scot...

The Ardbeg distillery has become the darling of the peated whisky world over the last two decades, but things appeared bleak back in the 1980s when the distillery was mothballed from 1981 until 1989. It was only the strong will and dedication of a small group of dreamers that any whisky was distilled there between 1989 and 1997. That's the year that the distillery was purchased by Glenmorangie and begun the complex process of re-launching the line. By 1998, the distillery was running at full steam. Only a few years later and the Ardbeg craze would be in ...

Tullibardine sits in Blackford not far north of the border between Highlands and Lowlands. Historically, it produced a nutty malt that was generally filled into tired casks and sold off for blending. Their lack of a strong wood management program meant that single casks were a crapshoot. If you managed to get a great one, you could have a phenomenal spirit. If the cask was past its prime, the whisky was nothing to write home about. In 1994, the distillery was shut down. It wasn’t until new ownership took over in 2003 that the distillery reopened and saw ...

Linkwood has been the blender's greatest secret for decades. A little bit of Linkwood used correctly takes a fine blended Scotch and amps it up to a very good or great blended Scotch. It's like salt to a chef for the whisky blender and it's this unique characteristic that makes it so rare as a single malt - it's too valuable for the blend. Fortunately for fans of great Single Malt, the independent bottling market has stepped in to fill this void. We've seen more and more casks come to market in the last 5-10 years, but most of those single casks don't co...

This spectacular cask is the Compass Box equivalent of a single barrel - but so much more complex. How does Compass Box, a blending house, produce a single barrel but still impart their magic while also offering a unique product? The marrying cask of course. After the peaty, high malt content, Glasgow Blend is put together, the whisky gets redistributed into its original casks for months or even years of marrying. Each cask then contains the same blended whisky but over time they evolve into unique single barrels that highlight the notes originally contr...

Laphroaig 10 is definitely in the running for Scotland's most iconic bottling. After years of pining for a sherried version—it's finally here. The 10 Year Old Sherry Oak is finished in Oloroso casks providing a honeyed sweetness that perfectly compliments the salty smoke of Scotland's most richly flavored malt. While it's our hope that this will eventually be a staple on the shelves, the initial release is extremely limited and will certainly sell out in minutes.

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Look for a straw hue and unmistakably peaty, smoky scent. On the palate, fruity sweetness leads at first, quickly morphing into a billow of pungent peat smoke. Quite drying, and finishes fiery. Water tamps down the alcohol heat and brings more orchard fruit forward. Released in 2016 to honor Alfred Barnard, considered to be the first whiskey writer, as part of the 200th anniversary of Lagavulin. *Top 100 Spirits of 2017* (KN)" (12/2017) Whisky Advocate: "Light in color it may be, but this is no wimp.

According to the distillery, Glenmorangie's Director of Whisky Creation Dr. Bill was inspired to create this limited edition whisky while snowed in at home. Wanting to recapture the snug feeling of sitting fireside while the world is blanketed in snow, Dr. Bill finished the 13-year-old single malt in Marsala wine casks from Sicily. On the palate, "the experience begins with light flurries of fruit and honey, building to torrents of cocoa dust, flakes of red pepper and chunks of brazil nut toffee. It culminates in a feels-like-forever finish that swirls w...

The yearly Distiller's Edition from this excellent Islay classic malt is one of the year's most hotly anticipated releases. Not because it's necessarily collectible or rare, but just simply that so many people find it so consistently delicious. It starts with well aged smokey malt from the famous south shore distillery. The oily and richly peated whisky is filled into fresh Pedro Ximinez sherry casks for an additional aging of about a year. Drawn from the cask and bottled at 86 proof, it couples the wild intensity of Islay peat with the robust sweetness ...

The Hart family have been licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley on the outskirts of Glasgow since the 18th Century, but it was in 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders. Alistair Hart, who still selects casks for this special line today, came on as Chief Blender in 1975. His charge at the time was to secure and select the finest casks of single malt that were not readily available to the market. Their commitment to excellence is second to none in the industry and they...
