Opulence Port Dundas 21 Oloroso Sherry Finish
$99.00
RG Release #6 : OPULENCE
21 yr Port Dundas Single Grain Scotch
(21 yr Hogshead + 6 mo Oloroso Sherry Quarter Cask)
55.7% cask strength ABV, Outturn: 150 Bottles estimated
Being 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) !
Once again, the custom label artwork is from Mira Hsu of Lexington MA!

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.

Moongazer 9 yr Guyana Versailles Pot Still Rum
$45.00Over 250 yrs old, Diamond Distillery’s legendary Versailles still is one of only two wooden pot stills in existence (FIRE & WOOD aren’t a formula for longevity?!?) and this bottle is a classic example of its intoxicatingly pungent notes of raisin syrup, birdseed, mocha, charred banana, black tea and ozone.

Linkwood Emergence 9 yr Single Malt Scotch
$85.00Linkwood has always been a long time favorite here with the Raising Glasses staff and we jumped at the chance to obtain an entire sherry butt of this legendary Scotch. Its intensely floral nose immediately captivated us, followed by flavors of citrus zest, honey, fresh stone fruit and a toasty malty backbone.
The first in our series of Linkwood releases, this EMERGENCE edition was fully matured for 9 yrs in a refill oloroso sherry butt and bottled at cask strength, resulting in a dram of velvety oily texture and powerful elegance.
