This 11-year-old Staoisha is a peated single malt scotch whisky from Bunnahabhain distillery on Islay. This Staoisha single malt was distilled in 2013 and matured in a refill cask before being transferred to a first fill tawny port wine barrique in 2020.
Representing the white pawn, “a2” is the second limited edition release in the Chess series. The term pawn is derived from the Old French word “paon”, which comes from the Medieval Latin term for “foot soldier”. Throughout the history of the game, the pawn has represented other occupations and taken other names in multiple languages. While it is typically seen as the weakest piece on the board, its importance to the game, from simple strategy to its potential to be promoted to any other piece on the board, demonstrates the integral part it plays in chess.
This label for our inaugural series is designed by Toronto-based artist Alexander Perkins, who continues to amaze friends, family and everyone else with his world-class talent. We can’t wait to see what piece he’ll bring to the board next.
This Staoisha is non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, yielding 259 bottles at a cask strength of 62.3% ABV.

BP French Antilles Distillery 2017 (Martinique 6 yr)
$100.00This six-year-old rum from an unnamed distillery in the French Antilles was distilled in 2017 and filled into a American oak cask, maturing at origin before being shipped to Europe in 2021 and filled into a once used bourbon barrel. We found that this did not fit the mould of a typical agricole style rum, but we enjoyed the divergence that created such a wonderful rum that we hope you enjoy as much as we do.

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).
