Subtle fresh herb and peppered earth notes are also evident. Super juicy and intensely flavoured, rich red to dark raspberry, red liquorice and cherry fruits explode across the exuberant palate with delicate infusions of dried herbs, scorched earth and pepper the undercard. Magnificent power and silky tannins with fresh acidity lending an energetic feel to the long super succulent finish. Highly addictive drinking over the next 5-6 years.

  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.

  ABV: 62.5%

  "Less of a whisky and more of a life experience... Complex and perfectly assembled..." 96.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025/2026

  The full proof, cask strength version of the 1792 bourbon produced at the Barton 1792 distillery in Kentucky has been one of the most sought-after Bourbons of the last few years. Not only awarded World's Best Whisky in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2020, the quality was previously affirmed at the World Whisky Awards in 2018 where it was voted World's Best Bourbon.

  Scoring an impressive 97.5 points out of 100, Murray applauded the 62.5% ABV expression for being “melodious, mysterious and slightly exotic” with a nose of “near-perfect proportions” and an “unfaltering” finish. He added “For the 1792 Distillery to win World Whisky of the Year is extraordinary because when I first went there some 25 years ago, the then-owners had no interest in high-end whiskey... The oldest they produced was a six-year-old which I thought was one of the most complex on the market but still undercooked. I implored them then to bring out something much older. It is wonderful that my gut instinct of 25 years ago has been vindicated under the ownership of Sazerac, who have turned a potentially great distillery into something truly magnificent."

  The whiskey comes non-chill filtered - instead filtered through the lesser plate and frame method to keep the roundness of the spirit.
  The Barton distillery, now known as Barton 1792, was established in 1879 and is the oldest fully-operating distillery in Kentucky. The 1792 moniker for their pride and joy bourbon comes from when the Commonwealth of Kentucky joined the union and brought with them their distilling techniques and environment.

  Other reviews... 2016 bottling] No age statement on the label, but aged for 8 1/2 years. Bottled at the same ABV as its entry proof into the barrel. Lush and mouth-coating. A pleasingly sweet bourbon, with caramel, nougat, and chewy toffee, mixed with ripe orchard fruit, golden raisin, and creamy vanilla. Soothing finish. A wonderful way to end a meal. (With a cigar, perhaps?) This is a beautiful bourbon and a great value given its quality, ABV, and price. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

  "We’ve had our reservation regarding 1792 Full Proof in the past. Past versions encapsulated and arguably doubled down on the bourbon’s classic and unexciting nature - even to its detriment. Yet, no bourbon is ever set in stone, and the latest batch of 1792 Full Proof is a perfect example of this. While still classic at heart, the palate's fullness of flavor, a thicker mouthfeel, and an overall renewed spirit have transformed the bourbon into an almost new bourbon altogether, and one - especially regarding 1792 bourbon - that’s exciting to drink. It’s a remarkable transformation and is exactly why you should never count a bourbon out and be willing to revisit bourbons over time." - breakingbourbon.com

  2018 Signatory Vintage Edradour No.2 Inaugural Release 200th Anniversary 7 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

  Highlands, SCOTLAND

  $119. 99

  Bottle

  $1439.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 57.1%

  "A laudable “inaugural”. Unique and lovely. Well worth the price paid" - dramface.com

  This is a bit of a double celebration for Edradour fans and collectors. As the label notes, it's commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the distillery (1825-2025). There are going to be a number of limited editions coming through marking the date, so keep posted. More significantly for collectors, Andrew Symington, the man behind Signatory Vintage and Edradour, has built a second distillery on the Edradour site in order to expand capacity alongside the original "little gem" - hence the name "Edradour #2" for this inaugural release. Distilled in 2018 in new, traditional-style stills and aged in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, there's been a range of responses online towards the release, however most are positive, deeming it a confident young 'Christmasy' whisky that isn't too dominated by sherry while delivering the "old school" weight and oily texture that Edradour is famous for. Think red fruits, almonds, fruit cake, cinnamon and a light hint of sulphur that needs time to blow off. Many find it significantly benefits from a drop or two of water. At 57.1% Alc./Vol. that's no surprise. The total outturn is unknown. We'd expect it to be aligned with the distillery's other limited editions (usually around 6000 bottles). As a collectable, the direct-import price means just about anyone can take advantage of this opening offer. Non chill filtered.

  Other reviews.... Shout it from the rafters: “Young. Age. Statements. Don’t. Matter!” ...It’s a polarizing dram within the [whisky] community. Complaints about astringency and sulfur and plenty of discussion over the heat, sharpness, and youth of this bottle. Personally, I didn’t find any off-notes or sulfur, even off the neck pour. To me it retained the best of Edradour’s uniqueness, and this batch was well-suited to the first-fill sherry butts used for maturation. Especially with water. I’m a firm believer in adding tiny amounts of water, even for lower ABV whiskies. With time and a few drops I believe not only does this dram open up, it sings wonderfully. I’ll stand by my high score. Perhaps other Dramface writers or those in the Whiskyverse will have differing assessments to share in the comments. There may be a “young whisky” bias going on with others, but I’ll never tell anyone else they’re incorrect. This is a realm of opinions and senses. There’s not a wrong one to be found. I trust my own here and I find this to be a cracking young Edradour. There’s also a spicy uniqueness here that keeps it from becoming too much of a “sherry bomb." And for [the price], Signatory Vintage continues to show its deftness on price and appreciation for the wallets of the punting masses. - dramface.com

This reposado is rested six years in American oak (more than required for reposado), yet because it was aged in a vessel larger than the 600-liter maximum, it still gets to bear the reposado label. The liquid offers distinctly sweet aromas of vanilla, maple and dried fig. The palate echoes those tones, layering on clove, allspice and cayenne. 94 points - Kara Newman, wineenthusiast.com

  Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2024 Bottling

  Campbeltown, SCOTLAND

  $149. 99

  Bottle

  $1799.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 46%

  The Kilkerran brand has been described as "Springbank's big middle finger to the SWA" for trying to screw them out of a regional designation. In 1998 the Scotch Whisky Association decided to cease referring to Campbeltown as a whisky region. Two distilleries (Springbank & Glen Scotia) simply weren't enough. Prompted to restore the Peninsula's reputation, Hedley Wright, the owner of Springbank envisioned Glengyle as a project to cement Campbeltown as a region proper, rather than just an extension of the Lowlands. Its whiskies are now on just about every malt maniacs short list.  Many who were lucky enough to be acquainted with Springbank's output a decade or so ago appreciate that Kilkerran is essentially a slightly less peated version of the same malt - for less dollars. The same distillery team run both operations. There is a slight difference in the production process but the upshot is a lightly peated West Highlander with fresh citrus notes and an oiliness on the palate, plus a little briney, coastal character. Because its profile clocks the range of flavours found in single malt Scotch, it is in many ways quintessential. The 12 year old is the perfect introduction. The 2024 edition was matured in 70% Bourbon and 30% Sherry casks and bottled at their standard strength of 46% without chill filtration. Experience has shown that the best time to buy it is at the start of each allocation cycle while the opening prices hold. Global demand for this distillery is already catching up with Springbank.

  Notes from the producers... Initially zesty with citrus notes of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of a Campbeltown whisky. Peat smoke, leather bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time, along with sweet sticky toffee pudding. The peat smoke carries through to the finish in campfire embers, with sweet hints of pecan pie and butterscotch.

  2014 Kilchoman Single Cask #14/1007 Australian Exclusive Sauternes Cask Finish Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

  Islay, SCOTLAND

  $199. 99

  Bottle

  $2399.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 56.3%

  The Australian importer's single cask selection was aged in fresh Bourbon wood for just over six and a half years, then spent a further eighteen months finishing in an x-Sauternes Hogshead (sweet white wine from Bordeaux). While Kilchoman have previously released bottlings that were fully matured in Sauternes casks, this nevertheless ranks as an extended secondary maturation, compared to 5-6 months that many might consider the 'norm'. Consequently, if you're used to the style of core releases like Machir Bay or Sanaig, this offers a different Kilchoman experience. On the nose, the usually effusive maritime character is offset by notes of bush honey, dried apricots and jaffas with just a little iodine/menthol lift contributing freshness. Flavour wise, it's quite an attack - mouthfilling, textural and oily with a malty mid-palate followed by a tang of tangerine peel and a spike of heat. The Sauternes cask almost gets the better of the peat, leaving you with residual notes of sweet tobacco, chimney soot, menthol rub and dark chocolate. An after dinner treat. 56.3% Alc./Vol. 50ppm. Non chill filtered.

  Notes from the importers... Nose: Driven by notes of vanilla and rich apricot with an elegant underlying peat smoke. Palate: Opening rich honey-sweetness makes way for an intense influence of almond followed by a classic Kilchoman peat smoke combined with toasted oak. Finish: Dried fruit, lemon zest and rich spice balanced with a long-lasting malty sweetness.

  ABV: 12%

  Scrumptious benchmark Soave.

  The Pieropan winery is in the heart of the Classico zone and dates back to 1890. Leonildo ‘Nino’ Pieropan, who sadly passed away in 2018, was the first to show the world just how great Garganega, and Italian white wine, can be. He recognised the importance of terroir early on, acquiring various hillside vineyards and expanding the prestigious Calvarino and La Rocca vineyards, first made as single vineyard crus in 1971 and 1978 respectively.

  Today, sons Dario (winemaker) and Andrea (viticulturist) continue the family tradition. The brothers have converted all of their vineyards to organic and are overseeing the new winery being built amongst the vineyards just outside the village. Made mostly from Garganega grapes with the inclusion of 15% Trebbiano di Soave.
  Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear and red apple skin show plenty of elevation out of the glass with hints of lime, fresh herbs and wet stone also evident. Delicious pear, lime and red apple skin flavours are delivered with ample concentration over a back drop of fresh herb infusions and slatey mineral elements. Crisp acidity with a river stone like feel to the long dry finish.
  Drink over the next 2-3 years.

  "A phenomenal price." / "Whoever did the final blending of this malt deserves a medal, this is better than any Macallan ODB that I have ever tasted..." - whiskybase.com

  The new shipment direct from the warehouses of Signatory Vintage features our oldest Exceptional Cask Macallan to date. Mr. Symington continues to defy market norms delivering high-strength age statements at prices way out of line with official bottlings. Reading between the lines, we speculate that quality European oak butts are at play here, mostly first-fill (judging by the colour). The heavy sherry influence explains why these Macallans are reported to be best after ample air contact, developing in the glass as well as in the bottle. That means a week or two after opening it, the flavours should be more integrated and expansive. If like many of us, you've become disenchanted by Macallan as a brand, then ignore the provenance. This is simply a top recommendation for sherry lovers - complex, full-bodied, oloroso-soaked and absolutely worth it. Buy with confidence. Hats off again, Mr. Symington! 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

  Other reviews... This is as near to a perfect malt that I've ever found. Absolutely love how smooth it is, every nuance of flavour merges into the others with not a single harsh element. Whoever did the final blending of this malt deserves a medal, this is better than any Macallan ODB that I have ever tasted......I think it's a shame that they don't appear to have such talent at the distillery any longer or The Macallan could once again be the word beater it once was. - whiskybase.com

  A luscious and mellow sherry, intense and dark. Soaked wood, red fruit salad, currants, watermelon, blueberries, chocolate sauce, balsamic vinegar, walnuts and dates, coq au vin, orange peel, caramel, blackberry jelly, and plums. A very slight hint of sulfur. On the palate, thick honey, raspberries and red bell peppers, a square of dark chocolate and stretto coffee, toasted hazelnuts, roasted almonds, Agen prunes, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a good pinch of pepper. A fairly long, powerful finish with notes of charcoal, terracotta, goji berries, copper highlights, intense and varied spices, dark and damp earth, and small mushrooms. Forest undergrowth. Sherry is intense and profound, giving rise to extreme and varied flavors. At the same time, it's not overpowering; on the contrary, it liberates the aromas. - whiskybase.com

  ABV: 54.4%

  "...has everything that is good about Sherry: it is rich, indulgent, varied, deep and intense." - whiskybase.com

  Whether for astute collecting or hedonistic drinking, Signatory's cask #6980 from Glenrothes should be on your short list. 499 bottles were decanted. Variously described as "monolithic" yet "more refined than a typical Symington profile", it comes full-term matured from a first-fill oloroso butt, uncut, straight from the cask. Regular readers may recall that this label highlights Andrew Symington's favourite picks from the enormous warehouses at Edradour in Pitlochry. First released in 2023 with a focus on heavily sherried malts aged between 20-35 years old, these whiskies have offered some freak values. But the great price doesn't matter if the whisky doesn't taste good. By all reports, this bottling fullfills all of the criteria for a stand-out buy in premium Speyside, especially in the context of what other distillers are commanding for sherried malts (often of younger age and lesser quality). We're told it's also increasingly unusual for Glenrothes to let go of heavily sherried stocks - of this or any calibre. 54.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

  Other reviews... The Sherry is very intense: fig jam, cinnamon-dusted apple tart, raspberry coulis, dried dates and apricots, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, chocolate fondant, marzipan, creamy vanilla, damp wood, salted caramel, honey, parquet wax, incense, and freshly tanned leather. On the palate, it is very rich and sweet, but not excessively so: raisins, slivered almonds, crushed quince, several candied fruits, a generous helping of spice, crème brûlée, and a hint of lemon zest. The finish begins with dark chocolate, coffee beans, cashew nuts, melted butter, shortbread cookies, and a touch of wild strawberries. Toasted walnuts and nougat complete the experience. - whiskybase.com

  "Stunning....Coating, delicious, and remarkably composed. A must-buy."

  If you're a newcomer to Waterford Whisky, briefly, the driving force is former Bruichladdich creative, Mark Reynier. Years ago, when Bruichladdich was coming online, he was told that the best barley in the world came from Waterford, Ireland. Since 2014, the Waterford Distillery has been his passion project, founded on the French concept of 'terroir', paying close attention to the provenance of barley and working with 72 different farms – some organic, some biodynamic. In the whisky world, the concept is fraught with disagreement, but from Reynier's wine background, it's an expectation. Consider that over 90% of Irish whiskey is made at just three distilleries (Bushmills, Cooley Distillery and Midleton), and that the latter produce almost every famous Irish brand (Jameson, Tullamore Dew, Powers, Paddy, Redbreast, Midleton Very Rare and the Spot Whiskies), and you begin to appreciate his ambition to create a terroir-driven Irish single malt while being as transparent as possible from farm to bottle. 

  The first spirit dropped from Waterford's stills in January 2016. Whiskyfun.com was enamoured with the inaugural Gaia release, describing it as "extremely impressive" (90 points). Arriving with similar credentials (unpeated, organic barley from six local farms) Gaia 2.1 was aged 4 years, 2 months, 7 days in x-Heaven Hill bourbon (39%) and x-red wine casks sourced from Margaux including Chateau Lafite Rothschild (19%). There's also an interesting portion decanted from casks that previously contained Vin Doux Naturel wines (Rivesaltes, Marsala, and Porto). Gaia 2.1 promises another delicately complex Irish, bottled at 50% ABV with zero chill filtration. Just like Bruichladdich, the release numbering schemes and comprehensive production data are readily available, and the design of the bottles is sleek and modern. Does it all translate into something special? Reviews waver from "good" to "stunning". Consensus leans towards the affirmative.

  Other reviews... Light and vibrant aromas of sliced apple, pomelo, barley, warm milk on hot porridge, and creamed coconut show on the nose of this whisky produced from the 2016 harvest of organic Irish barley. Crisp barley, stewed apple, and ruby grapefruit to taste, it adds vanilla, fudge, and a cluster of pepper at the tip of the tongue before diluting to reveal malty notes laced with bitter plain chocolate. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com

  "...An enormously impressive whiskey. At just 4 years old, it’s very full-bodied and characterful, with good complexity. It doesn’t taste old or anything, but it’s reached the level of maturity where those younger grassy notes, present in Gaia 1.1, are absent in this second release. The scotch comparison that I had in my head was Daftmill – this has that level of complexity and fruity brightness". - whiskybase.com

  "Stunning. Drinks slightly above proof and continues to evolve, circle back to the center, and branch out again. The depth of flavor is outstanding. Coating, delicious, and remarkably composed. A must-buy." - whiskeyinmyweddingring.com

  Notes from the producers... Appearance: Golden peach with super rich and thick oils on the glass. Nose: Orange peel, fresh soil, bread crust, brown sugar, milk chocolate, fresh fruit salad, fig roll biscuits, lavender, sweet marshmallows, butter milk. Taste: Spicy, white pepper, grapefruit, dry heat, liquorice, cherries, coco powder, wine gums, dry toast, salted peanuts, lemon zest. Finish: A dry spice dance that tangos and waltz's like a happy couple into the golden peach sunset.
