Representing the white pawn, āa2ā is the second limited edition release in the Chess series. The term pawn is derived from the Old French word āpaonā, which comes from the Medieval Latin term for āfoot soldierā. 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 Old Rhosdhu 1994 (Refill HH) 30yr 46.7% ABV
$395.00Old Rhosdhu is a name that is often overlooked when people discuss outstanding whiskies. We canāt really blame them though, since Loch Lomond doesn’t make it anymore! The first production of Old Rhosdhu began soon after the distilleryās opening in 1966 and the last production was around 2000. More commonly seen as a single malt from independent bottlers, weāre proud to join this elite club with what we believe is a spectacular bottling. The spirit has the typical fruity and floral characteristics that reflect the Loch Lomond production process.
Distilled in 1994, this whisky has been in the same refill bourbon hogshead for over 30 years. This is a whisky that has kept its spirit character over the past three decades, while patiently infusing lovely notes from the refill bourbon hogshead to complement it perfectly.
This single malt scotch whisky is non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, yielding 280 bottles at a cask strength of 46.7% ABV.

$185.00This was one of the first casks we selected, working with North Point distillery, in the search for our first rum release. We were surprised by the colour this developed in an ex-rum cask and, after a few years of patient observation, we knew it was the right time to bottle this stunning expression of Long Pond.

The first in our series of Linkwood releases, this EMERGENCE edition was fully matured for 9 yrs in a refillĀ oloroso sherry butt and bottled at cask strength, resulting in a dram of velvety oily texture and powerful elegance.
