2014 Watt Whisky Aultmore 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 56.9%

Reportedly the influence from the Bourbon barrel here is delicate, yielding a whisky that is "...solid and delicious in its basic structure. The alcohol is well integrated, the flavours are clear and harmonious." The outturn was 319 bottles at 56.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Nose: Quite light and smooth with pleasant fruit aromas. Gooseberry, kiwi, and then croissant, along with vanilla, a slightly sugary sweetness, and a hint of candle wax. All the while, I have a midsummer sunset and a field of grain in mind. Palate: Fruity but also very grainy. I taste granola and dried kiwi, various citrus fruits, malt, butter cookies, caramel, and cornflakes with honey. Finish: Medium length, cake with citrus fruits and caramel. - whiskybase.com
Notes from the bottlers... Creamy, fruity, herbal. Kiwi, key lime pie and rosemary.

2012 Watt Whisky Inchgower 13 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 58.3%

Commenting on an earlier Watt's bottling (also 13 years old and from a Bourbon cask), Angus MacRaild of whiskyfun.com said, "I've always thought Inchgower was an underrated / unnoticed distillate and I can see why Kate and Mark would select such a cask. This direct and narrow distillate style feels extremely 'Diageo' - which I mean in a good way, it's a style they've perfected I would say." Distilled 2012 in and bottled from a single Hogshead yielding 258 bottles
Notes from the bottlers... Peaches in syrup, very creamy, honeycomb, slightly minty with lots of butterscotch.

Waubs Harbour Maritime Sherry Limited Edition Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$250. 00
Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

ABV: 52%

Waubs' latest release sees French oak ex-Apera sherry casks balanced by x-Bourbon matured stocks. Drawing on some of the first casks the distillery filled, and landing in at just over six years old, the distiller's say it's no sherry bomb, nor is it intended as a whisky of extremes, being slightly lighter, though better integrated and more easily approached than many previous releases. Upfront sherry and spicy fruit cake flavours develop into poached orchard fruits, ending with a tangy, coastal vibe that leaves the impression of distant peat. Waubs' salted caramel keynote is also evident, particularly through the long finish. In terms of maritime style, we're heading towards the coastal Highlands - Pulteney and Orkney come to mind, but even Campbeltown would be a reference point. Indeed, no other distillery in the Southern hemisphere succeeds in capturing a Scottish coastal character as convincingly as this. Already sold out at the distillery, 618 bottles at 52% Alc./Vol. make up the limited edition. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 25ml sample.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Red apple, apricot, almond husk, pear with a slight sea spray and woody character. Palate: Apricot, apple and pear in syrup, buttery and biscuit notes, salted caramel with an undertone of golden syrup, balanced by citrus and a lovely oak spice. Finish: A bitter sweet balance between fruited syrup and kitchen spices.

Bottle
$203.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 3 Years (2026-2029)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Stelvin

West Cape Howe's Old School Chardonnay is made the way Chardonnay used to be – rich, textured and full-flavoured. Sourced from specific vineyard blocks in Mount Barker, the wine was barrel fermented and matured in French oak (20% new) for a period of 10 months. Extended lees contact with fortnightly stirring and full malolactic fermentation further enhanced the wines texture. 2025 was an outstanding vintage with near perfect growing conditions delivering fruit of spectacular quality.
Rich, viscously textured and full flavoured, this is classic old school Chardonnay delivered at a dirt cheap price.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a luminous green tint to the surrounds and a watery hue. Engulfing the nostrils are intense aromatics of ripe peach, nectarine and honeycomb with hints of crème brulee, subtle bacon fat and spicy nougat also chiming in. Rich, mouth filling and displaying great viscosity, fleshy peach, nectarine, creme brulee, nougat, honeycomb and spicy butterscotch flavours are layered across the palate. Creamy textured, a lick of fresh acidity chips in to provide balance. Concludes long, full and round with a dash of spice. Sensational value!
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.6%

A quality bourbon cask contributes delicious vanilla creaminess while Aultmore brings its oily, spicy spirit to the show. Toasted cereals and a chewy mouthfeel add interest.

Whisky Craft Loch Lomond 13 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 58.9%

Summed up by the bottlers as "a dry, cereal-driven style with bright citrus lift", this middle aged Loch Lomond opens with a soft nose feel of poached fruits and follows in a full bodied, juicy delivery; the orchard fruits flush with dried fig, ripe apple, prunes and boisterous spices. Very tasty and unexpectedly intense for this make. 195 bottles from a re-racked cognac cask. 58.9% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Bright and vibrant, with citrus and tropical fruit, notes of bubblegum and orange oil, underpinned by soft cereal sweetness. Palate: Smooth and delicate, combining a gentle malty core and juicy citrus notes. Finish: Light but dry, with a touch of peppery spice.

2024 Wilson Polish Hill River Riesling

Clare Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$29. 99
Bottle
$359.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

ABV: 12%

Closure: Stelvin

Wonderfully concentrated and tense with zingy mineral laced acidity.
Wilson’s Polish Hill River Riesling is sourced from their oldest vineyards planted over 40 years ago. Its miniscule yields typically produce a wine rich in citrus fruits within a steely structure, tight with lots of minerality. Beneath the iron stained clay lies a bed of decomposing slate and scattered quartz. It’s also not unusual to find remnant pottery and agricultural implements from the Polish Settlers who once lived and farmed the area now planted to this small vineyard.
Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the edges. Lime and citrus aromas leap out of the glass trailed by some green apple, hints of orange rind, wet steel and chalky mineral notes. Delivered with fabulous intensity and tension are racy lemon, lime and green apple flavours. Zingy mineral laced acidity with delicate orange rind and wet steel elements also shining through. Dry and chalky it finishes very long and zesty.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1000ml) - Whiskey Hunt Australia Selection

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 45.2%

Whiskey Hunt Australia's debut with Woodford Reserve comes courtesy of the distillery's owners, Brown Forman. Guided by Woodford's Brand Ambassador, Andy Tsai, in December 2023 the group were invited to choose from three Woodford select profiles. Unlike most WHA releases which have been single cask picks, the Woodford Personal Selection Program asks customers to preference a bourbon that matches their palate, typically based on three distinct distillery 'profiles'. Jack Daniels (also owned by Brown Forman) have a similar approach. No.2 was judged the winner, showcasing aromas of oak shavings, cherry-dark-chocolate and dried peach, complemented by medium bodied flavours of burnt caramel, subtle smoke, orange spice cake and drying oak. True to the Woodford house style, the whiskey was distilled from a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley with 180 one-litre bottles imported to Australia. 45.2% Alc./Vol.

Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum (1000ml)

Kingston, JAMAICA
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 63%

Closure: Screw Cap

"made by one company that remembers its roots and continues to distil a real rum." - thelonecaner.com
Ask a native where you could sample J.Wray & Nephew over-proof rum, and they will tell you knock on the door of any household. Such is the legendary status of this spirit that it accounts for 90% of rum sales in Jamaica. Other brands produced under the J.Wray & Nephew name are Captain Morgan, Coruba and the renowned Appleton Estate range. Use this product in classic rum punches with tropical juices. Alternate with flavoured rums and liqueurs for something new. Also great in the traditional Mai Tai and Daiquiri.
Other reviews... This is the flagship rum from Wray and the rum ... familiar instantly on the nose, with a mixture of citrus and petrol notes, very aromatic with florals and the raw alcoholic notes one expects from an overproof rum. The body is a bit tougher and astringent, slightly charcoal-dusted but otherwise intense with fruit, both citrus and tropical, with overtones of overripe banana, bubble gum, and a touch of eucalyptus on the finish. Surprisingly approachable despite the heavy alcohol level. - drinkhacker.com
...I’m not a huge white rum lover but this is as good as I have had. It will give a massive kick to tiki style cocktails, where it is very often used. W&N Overproof is very popular and highly regarded amongst bartenders and mixologists. Rightly so as well. The danger in this drink maybe that at 63% its very drinkable. At the price it is also very good value. W&N Overproof needs to be evaluated on what it is. It is a very good white overproof mixer. It’s availability and price makes it a no-brainer to have on hand. 4/5 stars - thefatrumpirate.com
...I have gained a sort of sneaking appreciation for overproofs, including this one, because while it lacks the subtlety of a more refined 40% variation (subtlety? don’t make me laugh…the thing is like a charging brontosaurus on steroids at rutting time), it makes an intense, strong, powerfully tasting mix with whatever you decide to chase it. Try adding cola to a 40% low-ender and then to the White Overproof and try and tell me this one doesn’t have more character, more taste, more…well, cojones. It absolutely is not afraid to charge the gates and get the hell off the reservation. When you drink J. Wray’s clear hooch, reader, there’s no ifs, ands or buts — you know Elvis has left the building; and didn’t just exit, he took off with rocket-powered, turbo-charged steel-toed boots. And a jet pack.... made by one company that remembers its roots and continues to distil a real rum. - thelonecaner.com

2021 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon

Coonawarra, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$150. 00
Bottle
$1800.00 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 15 Years (2025-2040)

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

One of Coonawarra’s benchmark Cabernets from an outstanding vintage.
Renown as one of Coonawarra’s benchmark Cabernets, Wynns John Riddoch is made from parcels of the estates best fruit and is only produced in exceptional vintages.
Outstanding colour featuring an impenetrable inky black heart along with a very deep dark red black hue. Soaring out of the glass are captivating aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice and mulberry which are complimented by vanillin cedar, tobacco, subtle earth, violet and traces of bay leaf. Rich and concentrated yet refined and structured, the medium to full bodied palate is redolent in fleshy red to black currant, liquorice and mulberry fruits. Lending further complexity are spicy vanillin cedar, earth, delicate tobacco and bay leaf accents. Fine grained, sturdily built tannin framework yet quite polished in it’s feel. Marrying finesse with power it finishes very long and eloquent with a deep core of fruit.
Drink over the next 10-15 years.
Alc. 13.5%
Other Reviews….
16 months French oak hogsheads and barriques (31% new, the balance one to six years old) and 22 months in bottle prior to release. A cacophony of blackberries, Bing cherries and elderberries. Blackcurrant leaf, acaí and prune skin. Black coffee, vanilla pod, ash and charcoal. Acidity wisps about the palate like magic, a mesh of thread-like tannins pull and draw the focus. A hint of dark chocolate bitters; the wine finishes perky with echoing tunes of granite. It's just so centered and chic. Pure cabernet poise. Drink by 2038.

Shanteh Wale – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The 2021 John Riddoch Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant wine. It is achingly intense yet is defined by its levity, which is not a common attribute in Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine expounds the virtues of the red gravel in which the fruit was grown, via its iodine and crushed shells, cassis and blood, sweet marrow and tobacco. It tastes so clearly of the place, which is a wonderful thing. The back palate swells with flavor, framed by the earth and the attuned oak. This is a tribute to the earth, an ode to it. Plentiful tannins bob along on the current of fruit. This will cellar interminably. It's up there in both quality and feel with the 2010, or so I think. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2024-2051.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
One of the best vintages in Coonawarra for many years. Little wonder this release of the John Riddoch is one of the best since the initial release from the 1982 vintage. Aromas of violets and red berry with a slightly cherry glaze character adding further intrigue. The palate is medium weight and refined but with tremendous power and persistence. A combination of hogsheads and barriques has been used to deliver the perfect level of oak. One of the best of these I can recall. Drink 2024-2054.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com
This 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Wynns John Riddoch is stylish and built for the long haul. It takes a couple of days to show its true colors. It radiates with blackcurrant, gravel and dried mint aromas, with a dusting of earth all wrapped up in a gentle blanket of French oak. Composed and super refined, the wine is underpinned by a line of seductive yet firm tannins with killer length and balance to finish. It is already very approachable but with serious staying power. Drink 2030-2045.

2023 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $69.99

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2026-2034)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

A richer, more opulent rendition of Yalumba’s Signature that has a long and quite sumptuous conclusion.
A classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz first produced in 1962, Yalumba’s Signature pays homage each vintage to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the culture and traditions of Yalumba. The 2023 vintage’s signatory is Yalumba’s trade marketing manager, Peter Sawrey who has been responsible for writing the last 32 Signature back labels. This year’s release marks the 52nd vintage of Yalumba The Signature.
From vines with an average age of 23 years the 2023 Signature is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Shiraz with maturation taking place in a combination of French barriques and Hungarian hogsheads (22% of which was new oak) for a period of 19 months. Impenetrable inky black heart with a near equally deep dark red black hue. A mix of blackcurrant, blackberry and liquorice aromas engulf the nostrils. Vanillin cedar, tobacco, hints of dark chocolate and bay leaf follow on. Rich, opulent and full bodied, the seductive palate is flooded with blackcurrant, liquorice, dark plum and lush blackberry fruits. Spicy vanillin cedar, subtle earthy tobacco and bay leaf accents linger across the back half. Velvety yet underlyingly sturdy tannin structure. Deep and powerful it has a long and quite sumptuous conclusion.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews……
Yalumba's iconic blend sees 55/45% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz with the '23 release. Again, the release impresses with its fruit purity, elegance and cellaring potential. Deep blackberry, satsuma plum and black cherry fruit with underlying layers of brown spice, cedar, tobacco, pencil case, roast meats, dried herbs and black olive tapenade. Beautifully composed on the palate with a firm yet kinetic, fine-grained tannin structure, lacy acidity and a finish that sails on gracefully for ages. A cracking release. Drink by 2055.

Dave Brookes - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
We might be yet to learn who is to be honoured with the 2023 Signature, but whomsoever it is should be well pleased. This is a cracking release, one of their best. An opaque centre with a dark maroon rim, there is still vanillin oak evident on the nose, but it is integrating well. The aromas include notes of dried herbs, black fruits, graphite, licorice, mocha, chocolate, plums and cassis. This is balanced, youthful, offering real persistence and coiled power. The palate sees the move to gorgeous chocolate notes. A wine with serious length, there is much to love here.

2021 Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Shiraz

South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 20 Years (2026-2046)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

This is the seventh release of Yalumba’s flagship wine, the ‘Caley’ and it’s up there with their best yet. A classic marriage of two noble grape varieties sourced from two of Australia’s greatest wine regions, Coonawarra and Barossa it’s a blend of 74% Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Barossa Shiraz. The wine is matured for 18 months in a mix of 21% new French oak barriques with the balance in 1 year and older French oak barriques.
A seamless blend of Cabernet and Shiraz highlighted by extraordinary length and wonderful finesse.
Pours with spectacular colour density featuring an inky black heart alongside a deep dark red black hue. Soaring through the olfactory senses is a complex matrix of blackcurrant, liquorice and mulberry scents interwoven with vanillin cedar, subtle earthy dark chocolate, tobacco, pepper and bay leaf notes. Rich yet gorgeously refined and structured, the mid weighted palate is flooded with red to black currant, liquorice, dark chocolate and ripe mulberry fruits which meld into a spicy vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco and bay leaf infused back drop. Displaying immaculate tannin integration and outstanding power, it concludes long, highly finessed and sophisticated.
Drink over the next 20 years.

Other Reviews...
At this viewing (and we are a long way off from this wine's intended release), we are in for a very special wine – Yalumba's flagship, from the excellent 2021 vintage. It is a picture of elegance and fruit power in one package. There is a glass-staining deep crimson colour for starters. The fruit, seemingly reduced to an essence, is all blackberry, cassis, black cherry and dark plum. Hints of deep spice, blackforest cake, licorice, cedar, tobacco pouch, bouquet garni, black olive tapenade, pencil shavings, roast beef, earth, veal glace and dark chocolate. The tannins are powdery, layered and in perfect resolution, the oak sitting simpatico with the deep fruit, the finish stretching out for a considerable length of time. The best Caley release thus far for mine. Drink by 2024.

Dave Brookes - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
It might be suspicion only but one feels that our venerable old Barossa producer, Yalumba, may have felt that, as impressive as its portfolio of wines is, the world did not see them having a release which challenged the Granges and the Hills of Grace and a surprising number of new releases at ridiculously high and arguably undeserved prices. Enter this wine, although it still sits well below how others when we start talking cost, but then that is only to its advantage. They opted for the great Aussie red blend to take it away from the usual single variety rock stars. It is also a blend of regions with the Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra and the Shiraz from the Barossa. There have been some absolutely superb releases of this wine over the years but for me, none better than this 2021. It is a superstar. Under cork. Gleaming blood red/maroon, the nose reveals notes of bright cherries, tobacco leaves, spices, well integrated oak, plums, blackberries, aniseed, cassis and beef stock. It is subtle and seductive, generous and plush, offering a fine line of acidity in great length. There are silky tannins on the lingering finish. Superbly focused, this is surely the best Caley to come my way (and I have seen them all). Stonkingly good, if one wishes to get technical. Thirty years with ease. Drink 2026-2056.

Ken Gargett – WinePilot.com
The 2021 The Caley Cabernet Shiraz hails from an excellent year in South Australia. The season was warm but not hot (in fact, it has been described as cool, although I think "mild" and "benign" are more accurate terms) and offered both growers and makers the opportunity to get the best of their vineyards and produce some of the best wines possible. These should be exceptionally long-lived wines. So here, the 2021 The Caley Cabernet Shiraz leads with a nose of deep dark chocolate, dark fruits, mahogany and black olive tapenade. In the mouth, the tannins are both intense and profuse, encasing the fruit at this early stage yet promising many years in the future to come. This is persistent and long, powerful and concentrated. Sealed under Diam and wax. Drink 2026-2051.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
This is not only the greatest wine to ever emerge from the hallowed halls of Yalumba, it is categorically the finest exemplar of the great Australian blend of the modern era, and the equal of the greatest in history. Kevin KG Glastonbury’s relentless fanaticism has fused Coonawarra Cabernet with Barossa shiraz (26%) to perfection, and I use this word very deliberately.
While I was not alive at the time to have the privilege of tasting it in its youth, it has perhaps not been since Max Schubert’s legendary 1962 Penfolds Bin 60A that this union has been mastered with such breathtaking harmony. Since its inaugural release a decade ago, The Caley has set the standard for refinement in cabernet shiraz, reincarnating the Coonawarra/Barossa blends of Yalumba of a half- century ago to become the first wine to win Matthew Jukes and my The Great Australian Red competition four times with three vintages, each of which I scored 98-99 points. 2021 embraces this profound legacy and takes it further to establish an all-new benchmark. It elevates this distinguished label by effortlessly contrasting greater depth of black fruits, higher lift of violet fragrance, more energetic, cool season acidity and more profound confidence of tannins that are at once finer and more velvety and yet somehow stronger, more rigid and more enduring - the pinnacle of KG’s life work. I have bestowed a perfect score on an Australian table wine only once in the past decade, and The Caley 2021 is every bit deserving. Be sure to be first in line when it is unleashed on 1 May 2026.

I am infinitely grateful to have creator, creative and creation knowledge of this wine, from its inception to this moment in time. All vintages, all progressions, all inflections and all moments of ‘worry’ have been shared, and so when a wine, and there are few on the planet with this epic consistency of production, is released, the world must pay attention. There is so much class here, it is extraordinary. How would you place this wine if you were an alien landing at our intergalactic hub in search of a refreshing libation? It could only be a wine from the 5263 quadrant of SA, which I am sure an alien could compute faster than most humans. But there is a looming sense of disquiet about this 74% Coonawarra wine, because it has an x-factor that transports into an otherworldly plane that is simply jaw-dropping. My wine mind does all it can to personify every sip I taste and yet, as much as I admire all the James Bonds, Hans Solo, and even, and this might sound somewhat incongruous, the Jackson Lambs of this world, this wine has no earthly human form synonym. It soars, mythical, half-human, half-deity, and it holds back more than it gives, and then releases unfathomable mysteries when you momentarily switch off. It is, in short, epic. I wondered if any wine could eclipse the inaugural 2012 The Caley, and then a handful of them have done just this. 2021 is the most recent to do so, and I am thrilled to bring it to your attention.

Other Reviews....
This is the younger vine bottling, coming mainly off vines planted in '08. Up to three weeks on skins; maturation in steel and old puncheons and foudre. This is a nice foil to the Old Vine bottling, showing what relatively youthful vines can do on this great site. There’s an open red-berried and cherry fruitfulness, with red florals supported by savoury spice and a foundation of purposeful natural tannin. This doesn’t have the mineral depth of the Old Vine, but the fruit vibrancy and exuberance yield their own rewards. Drink by 2030.

Winemaker Larry Cherubino has fashioned a generously flavoured Chardonnay from the favourable 2024 vintage in Pemberton. Aged in a combination of new and two year old French oak barrels, it has a level of concentration and depth that’s hard to match at this price.

A rich, beautifully shaped Chardonnay that delivers outstanding value.

Brilliant pale straw colour with flashes of green to the edges and a watery hue. Flowing through the nostrils with impressive intensity are attractive white peach, nectarine and dried honey scents followed by some nougat, cashew and spice notes. Rich and concentrated, fleshy white peach, nectarine and dried honey flavours carry beautiful shape across the mid weighted palate. Notions of citrusy nougat, cashew and spice lend further interest. Good underlying freshness with a creamy textural feel building across the long finish.

2022 Angove Warboys Vineyard Grenache

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$39. 99
Bottle
$479.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 10 Years (2026-2036)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Stelvin

Rich, juicy and concentrated with magnificent power and a tense, sculptured feel.
Sourced from certified organic and biodynamic vines 59 plus years in age with maturation taking place in French oak puncheons for a period of 18 months.
Deep red to dark red colour with black tinged edges and a red hue. Fragrant scents of red raspberry, cherry and red liquorice flood the nostrils trailed by some fresh provincial herb, crushed rock and pepper notes. Rich, juicy and concentrated, the mouth is engulfed with spicy red raspberry, red liquorice and cherry fruits. Combining magnificent power with a tense, sculptured feel, notions of crushed rock, fresh herbs and peppered earth lend further nuance. Muscular tannins and fresh acidity with an exceptionally long and succulent yet chiselled finish.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 14%
Other Reviews….
From the biodynamic Warboys Vineyard; 50% whole bunches; 16 months in French puncheons. This is moodier but also finer than the ’21 – more savoury, spicy and powered by authoritative tannins. The ’22 vintage saw many top Vale grenaches in this vein, with the structure sometimes forbidding early on. But what a joy those wines are now, and so too this. Relatively pale of hue, with aromas of cranberry and redcurrant rendered in savoury tones. Pressed flowers, dark spices, rosehip tea, warm bricks, bresaola and tar, the fruit intensity coiled into the structure, delightfully nervy and tense, drawing long and flavours fanning out strikingly. Superb. Drink by 2034.

Ardnamurchan AD/Paul Launois 2026 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$159. 99
Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.4%

"Delicate, understated, complex and classy. Take some time out with this one." - whiskybase.com
As far as unpeated Ardnamurchans go, year in year out, the Paul Launois release seems to be the most representative, and the most popular. This is the fifth instalment, matured in ex-bourbon barrels and finished for around 14 months in x-Grand Cru Champagne barriques. There is something about unpeated Ardna' that makes it incredibly approachable, offering a softer side that conveys a buttery, shortbread-like character, especially on the nose. The palate is disarmingly light for a natural strength malt, with those same notes counterpointed by a little orchard fruit, citrus, a saline mineral finish and what feels like drifts of smoke. The best of the series so far - at least, that's what a number of online comments have reported. Given all of the above, it makes you wonder why they don't do more of it? 5726 bottles released at 57.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 25ml sample.
Other reviews... Ardnamurchan continues the path with Paul Launois and justifiably so, as the results are pretty decent. The good thing about the maturation in these Champagne casks is that it brings an extra layer to an already excellent whisky. That should always be the added value of using exotic casks over regular bourbon. This one has a sour note that is really elevated by the excellent spirit of this distillery. Playing with water is recommended to utilize the full potential of this bottling. I tried this sample on the same day as the new Sherry Cask release, and must say the price-quality is better covered by the more traditional sherry expression. But that, one must say, is truly a different beast (peated, sherried) compared to this more elegant style. Truly PX versus Champagne. A good display of varieties from which you yourself can choose favorites. The Paul Launois batches I will gladly keep on following , but a whole bottle is for now not my preference. Having said that, this is a softer, sour, fizzy kind of malt, and rather unique. Perfect balance. - whiskybase.com

2019 Chateau Fayau Cadillac

Cadillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$39. 99
Bottle
$479.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2025-2031)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

Sauternes enthusiasts have long known that across the Garonne River they can procure what is arguably the greatest value wine in sweet white Bordeaux, which in exceptional years produces a wine equal to Sauternes which may sell at two or three times its price. This bizarre anomaly is the Chateau Fayau Cadillac, and although the wine cannot be labelled Sauternes as such, it is essentially identical in every way.
A vinous bargain when one considers the prices of top Sauternes houses.
Brilliant straw yellow pale gold tinged colour with a watery hue. Leaping out of the glass are honeyed peach and apricot scents followed by some marmalade, sweet pineapple and delicate spice notes. Luscious yet not heavy or cloying, coating the palate are honey drenched flavours of apricot and peach which are intermeshed with notions of pineapple, marmalade, subtle toffee apple and spice. An underlying freshness lends itself to an agile feel across the long and exotic yet elegant finish.
A beautifully poised Fayau.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Douglas Laing's Rock Island 16 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

SCOTLAND
$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.8%

Following the success of the 14 year old Sherry Edition in 2023, the Laings decided to take it a step further. This is the first time a whisky under the Rock Island label has been released as a 16 year old. Uniting single malts from the famous Whisky islands of Orkney, Arran, Jura and Islay, before experiencing a maturation predominately in hand-selected Spanish Sherry Casks, it's a subtle, smoky and sweet celebration of maritime character. Expect notes of dried fruits, walnuts, and nutmeg, while malt and vanilla add depth, culminating in a finish of honeycomb and toasted almonds. 46.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... I really enjoyed this, and I’m sad to say that Douglas Laing’s selection of blended malts always fly under my radar, and I’m honestly not sure why. I don’t taste a lot of sherry in this at all, but it certainly is driving some of those sweeter notes on the nose through in a very loving way. A great style of softly peated whisky that has bundles of dessert sweetness to welcome you in. What a wonderful bottle. - thewhiskywash.com

ABV: 46%

With a label inspired by the Laing family’s Fox Terriers, Scallywag 10 Year Old joins the classic, core edition as an ongoing offering. The marriage of Speyside Single Malts (reported to be Macallan, Mortlach & Glenrothes) comes matured exclusively in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry casks for a rich, fruity and dark chocolatey profile. Batches are limited to around 4500 bottles. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... "The nose gives plenty of sweetness—lots of cotton candy and brown sugar. A good amount of honey too. The palate has a very sweet arrival, which is a further testament to the sherry maturation. Milk chocolate, but also plenty of spices which linger for a long while. A very proper, rich blended malt whisky." - distiller.com

1991 Douglas Laing & Co. XOP Xtra Old Particular Glen Keith 30 Year Old Single Cask Limited Release Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

ABV: 50.8%

You don't often see Glen Keith pop up, even from independents. Founded in 1957 by the Chivas Brothers, it's one of Scotland's younger distilleries. In 2000 the distillery was mothballed but fired up again thirteen years later. Finding mature stocks like this is a rarity, and look at the price! The outturn was 427 bottles from single refill butt DL15290 at 50.8% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... Body is almost creamy, at least moderately oily. Taste is pretty interesting. Quite a lot going on. Again lime and guava are there quite clearly. It’s also quite waxy - almost astringently so. White pepper with a hint of green chili and some rock salt. The oak shows up a little on the finish as a vague vanilla note. I thought the waxy astringency was going to annoy me over time but then that pepperiness builds pleasantly and overtakes it. With time it gets a little more juicy – guava in particular – before the pepperiness. I like Glen Keith generally, and this is no exception. It took time to grow on me and it’s not without some unfavourable aspects but I think this one is pretty good. - whiskybase.com
Notes from the bottlers... The nose reveals an elegant dried apricot style running to maple syrup, milk chocolate and and honey'd barley. The palate is thick and fulsome with home-baking, vanilla cream and a mocha depth. The finish lingers wonderfully... anticipate a spiced oak character with pineapple and peaches in syrup.

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$599. 00
Bottle
$7188.00 Dozen

ABV: 40.6%

A rare 40-year-old from Carsebridge and a true collector’s release from a long-closed, now demolished distillery. From a single refill hogshead filled in December 1982, long maturation over four decades has allowed it to develop extraordinary depth, elegance and refinement, transcending expectations for the single grain category. The direct import price almost defies belief. Don't think twice. A mere 194 bottles were drawn from a single refill hogshead at 40.6% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Rich, rounded and deeply inviting, with warming sweetness and subtle spice. Palate: Silky and refined, revealing delicate spices, soft cereal notes and honeycomb sweetness, layered with remarkable finesse. Finish: Long, smooth and gently sweet, with lingering maple syrup richness and soft oak warmth.

$129. 99

$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

"I must say I’m rather impressed." - whiskyfun.com
A 2010 distillation aged exclusively in refill hogsheads and bottled at a respectable 50%. Mature, spirit-driven, non-chill filtered and probably (mostly) from Caol Ila. Other contributions come from Bowmore, Ardbeg and even reserves of Port Ellen. It's everything that Islay can be in a single bottle, and at a great price toboot. You can't lose!
Other reviews... We do enjoy tasting all these releases signed by Captain Haddock. But is there still any Port Ellen inside? Colour: white wine. Nose: sunflower oil, seawater, lemon juice and ashes. Everything works like a charm. With water: no change whatsoever, other than the addition of a few old magazines soaked by the rain. Mouth (neat): flawless lemon, oysters, seawater, seaweed, gentian, ink and ashes. The precision of Caol Ila. With water: same again, it’s just so good. Finish: long, precise, salty but almost refreshing. Comments: very ‘clear line’, which is rather amusing for a blend. Well, they know exactly what they’re doing, and I must say I’m rather impressed… 88 points - whiskyfun.com
"...Maybe my favourite of Big Peat's Fèis Ìle releases, this 2025 Edition shines because of its restraint wood influence. The refill hogsheads have left room for the Islay flavours to be fully appreciated." - wordsofwhisky.com

Other Reviews….
Complex, youthful, varietal and enticing bouquet. Aromas of grapefruit and sweet peach, lemon and vanilla, raw cashew nut butter and layers of lees complexities. Near full-bodied on the palate with fruit, oak and lees flavours reflecting the bouquet. The key with this wine is the acid line accentuating the citrus with grapefruit peel, then complexities from lees and development. The minerality is also a feature with a clay, stone and baking spice qualities. Lengthy, dry on the finish and delicious with best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.

Made by James Halliday’s 2024 Winemaker of the Year from the outstanding 2021 vintage, this classic Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute no brainer at $70 off it’s normal price.

62/38% shiraz/cabernet. Fermented wild before spending 18 months in French oak, 40% new. Olives, herbs, blackcurrant and cedar. The flavours are one thing but it's the flow, the command, ands the authoritative push of the finish. This is top-shelf gear. Bacon-esque oak adds a final flourish to a beautifully pitched (and structured) red wine. Drink by 2044.

2022 Sons of Eden Zephyrus Shiraz

Barossa, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$37. 99
Bottle
$455.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Sons of Eden is a partnership between winemaker Corey Ryan and viticulturist Simon Cowham who both learnt their trades in the vineyards and cellars of Eden Valley. The name of this wine is taken from Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind who is often depicted as a horse. The vineyards of the Barossa are regularly buffeted by cooling Westerly winds creating an ideal temperature range in which to slowly ripen Shiraz.
The 2022 Zephyrus is a blend of 10 different Shiraz parcels located throughout a wide range of vineyard sites within the cooler climate Eden Valley (44%) and warmer Barossa Valley (56%) regions. The vines are aged between 25-60 years old. Each parcel of fruit was fermented with varying levels of whole-bunch fruit clusters (between 10% to 35%). Maturation took place in a mix of new (35%) and seasoned French oak hogsheads for a period of 12 months.
Rich, sumptuous and undeniably powerful with lavish layers of fruit carrying a luxurious feel.
Dense inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Intoxicating scents of blackberry, liquorice and dark plum waft out of the glass complimented by some subtlety smoked vanillin cedar, fennel, mocha and peppered earth notes. Rich, plush and concentrated, the moreish palate has an opulent coating of blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits. Vanillin cedar, spicy fennel, subtle earthy mocha and pepper characters lend further interest. Boasting magnificent power and depth it has a velvety yet underlying sturdy tannin structure. Concludes exceptionally long and sumptuously rich yet retains a sense of refinement.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews….
Deep crimson in the glass with aromas of macerated doris plum, black cherry and blackberry fruits, cut with hints of baking spices, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, panforte, pan juices and earth. Weighty, with impressive depth and ferrous-edged tannin grip, fading with a crème-de-cassis-like intensity to the fruit. Drink by 2036.

Brooding aromas of blackcurrants, mulberry bush, cassia bark and wild blackberries. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins, bright acidity and a generous mouthfeel, showing fresh notes of blood plums, sarsaparilla, violets, graphite and pepper. Very giving and generous, with a beautiful aromatic lift. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
