Linkwood Ascendance 10 yr Single Malt Scotch Double Oloroso Maturation
$85.00
We jumped at the chance to obtain a sherry butt of Linkwood single malt which we split into thirds:
Vol 1: Emergence – 9+ yr refill Oloroso butt maturation
Vol 2: Ascendance – 9 mo Oloroso quarter cask finish
Vol 3: Eminence – 9 mo First fill Madeira cask finish
The second in our Linkwood series, this ASCENDANCE edition was matured for 9+ yrs in a refill Oloroso sherry butt, then finished for 9 mo in an Oloroso sherry quarter cask, then bottled at cask strength. The double Oloroso maturation makes for a majestic dram of dark fruit, leather, bitter almonds and citrus-infused honey.

Opulence Port Dundas 21 Oloroso Sherry Finish
$99.00Being the savages we are, we purchased a brand new Oloroso sherry quarter cask (those suckers are NOT cheap) and used it to age over half of the Port Dundas for the last 9 months. The smaller size of the quarter cask accelerates the aging process (higher ratio of wood surface area to total liquid volume), imparting an oakier backbone and the rich fig & pistachio flavors of a first fill Oloroso sherry cask. Its deep copper hue will satisfy “Dark AF” fetishists too (you know who you are) !

Manora 9 yr Thailand Rum Blend
$35.00Asian countries speak of the half human/half bird Kinnaree and Kinnara. A famous Thai play involves “Manora”, a Kinnaree that was captured & gifted to Prince Suthon who fell in love with her. When Suthon left for war, jealous advisers convinced the King to sacrifice Manora. Manora escaped and fled to her homeland. The prince went on a quest to find his beloved & they returned to court to live happily ever after. When performed, “Manora” was often played by a male, reflective of Thailand’s historical acceptance of gender fluidity. This blend celebrates their acceptance of LGBTQ & transgender people (which includes our youngest daughter)..
Our “female” cask opens beautifully with lush, floral notes while our “male” Thai cask has a strong lingering oaky finish, making this a perfect “gender blend”!
