#2

Bruichladdich
"18 Year Old" Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Islay, Scotland
_________________

The famed Bruichladdich crafted this unpeated Single Malt Scotch from a combination of Scottish mainland, Islay and organic barley - with each varietal and harvest fully traceable from farm to bottle. Aged for 18 years in Bourbon, Sauternes and Port casks, it was bottled un-chill-filtered and coloring free at Bruichladdich’s Islay distillery, at 100 Proof. 

“The flagship of Bruichladdich’s Luxury Redefined range is packaged in a molded fiber cocoon. Distilled in 2004, this whisky includes the distillery’s first use of Islay-grown barley. It was matured on Islay, mostly in bourbon barrels but also in a combination of sauternes and port casks. Aromas of honey, vanilla, and creamed coconut are wrapped around floral flourishes, with peach, melon, guava, and ground ginger. Complex layers of gooseberry, melon, and banana mingle with butterscotch, barley sugar, honeycomb, vanilla, and cinnamon, running into a satisfying finish of ginger and oak spice with a hint of coastal saltiness.”

Bardstown Bourbon Co.
"Collaborative Series - Amrut” Whiskey
Bardstown, Kentucky
_________________

This Whiskey rarity is produced by the Bardstown Bourbon Company in collaboration with Armut, a traditional distiller of Indian Whiskey. In addition to the praise from Whisky Advocate, this collectible earned a Double Gold Medal in the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits competition. 110 proof. 

“Take two straight rye whiskeys from Indiana, one an 8 year old 95% rye, the other a 9 year old 51% rye, and finish them for 18 months in Amrut Indian single malt casks. Blend this with three Kentucky straight bourbons aged 10–14 years, and you have a vibrant blend of American whiskeys with aromas of roasted corn, nutmeg, allspice, and toasted oak, with chocolate chip, root beer, leather, and black cherry bubble gum. Sugared almonds, red berries, baking spices, ground pepper, and cinnamon segue into fruit tea, Red Vines, and herbal notes, with a mouth-filling finish of milk chocolate, malt, and oak char.”
