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.

BP Bunnahabhain 2001 (Oloroso) 19yr 56% ABV
$285.00It seems like just yesterday that we were announcing our first collaboration with The Whisky Explorer. For its successor bottling, we decided that this would be a bottling amongst three groups that share a love of Bunnahabhain. Southern Ontario Sippers pointed us towards this cask from 2001 that has been fully matured in a first fill Oloroso sherry butt. It was love at first taste for them and we were really close behind – and we knew we had to share this with The Whisky Explorer, who also agreed that this needed to be bottled and shared with the Canadian whisky community immediately.
This single malt scotch whisky is non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, yielding 185 bottles at a cask strength of 56.0% ABV.

Innocence Port Dundas 21 yr
$90.00SOLD OUT
Our first Scotch is a spectacular cask strength single grain from Port Dundas that sadly closed in 2011 – once the existing stores of Port Dundas are gone this tremendous elixir will go extinct. Single Grain Scotches are growing in popularity (and price) as they combine the complexity and sophistication of Single Malts but with the approachability of American bourbons – which makes sense as the Port Dundas mashbill consists of American corn, barley and rye (much closer to bourbon than Single Malt Scotch’s mashbill of 100% malted barley).

Kinnara 9 yr Thailand Rum
$40.00We’re excited to be one of the very first IBs to release a rum from Thailand. While most of their domestic releases are heavily sweetened, we were so thrilled that their unadulterated distillate is wonderful stuff (at a reasonable price!) that we bought two casks. We’ve always wanted a quality “gateway” rum that was instantly accessible to rum newbies but still had the complexity and stamina to impress jaded rum aficionados. We were thrilled to find this rum in Thailand, a new country for most rum drinkers.
Why is this the “male” cask? He has a strong lingering oaky finish while his sibling “female cask” opens beautifully with lush, resonant floral notes.
