  • 1792 Bottled In Bond

    1792 Bottled In Bond

    $50.00 Availability: In Stock

    1792 Bottled in Bond is a particularly spicy expression, most likely due to its high rye content of between 15 and 25%. Abiding by the rules sets as part of the Bottled in Bond Act, passed all the way back in 1897, the whiskey is bottled at 100 proof (or 50% ABV). The act also ensures the whiskey comes from a single distillery, from a single season and is aged for at least 4 years.

    The nose carries sweet aromas of milk chocolate and orchard fruits that develop into a baked fruit pie on the palate, alongside notes of creamy vanilla, cinnamon and toffee apples that linger on in the finish.

  • Agitator Argument: Sherry butt

  • Agitator Evidens Ice Cider Cask

    Agitator Evidens Ice Cider Cask

    $88.00 Availability: In Stock

    Agitator Evidens Ice Cider Cask is part of the Swedish distillery’s experimental Evidens series, created to challenge the higher cask strength of conventional Scotch whiskies (63.5% abv) and demonstrate that a lower cask strength (55% abv) can deliver remarkable depth and complexity. Distilled using Agitator’s vacuum distillation technique rather than the traditional Scottish filling strength, Agitator are able to allow the spirit and wood to interact in a more controlled way.

    The whisky has been matured in a combination of Swedish ice cider casks and French Sauternes casks, a pairing that brings both freshness and richness to the final spirit. On the nose, baked apples and ripe pears meld with soft smoke and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The palate follows with more honeyed fruit, as well as the bright, crisp influence of the ice cider cask, with the Sauternes casks adding a bit of depth. The finish is warming and satisfying, leaving lingering notes of orchard fruit, and gentle smoke.

  • Alfred Giraud Heritage

    Alfred Giraud Heritage

    $162.00 Availability: In Stock

    The new and luxurious ‘Heritage’ by Alfred Giraud blends together three unpeated French malt whiskies. For Heritage, these malts are matured in different casks: most having previously contained old cognacs, new French oak casks from Limousin, and new American oak casks. The blend is then aged exclusively in barrels that previously contained very old cognacs. The whisky is then bottled at 46.1% abv without chill-filtration.

    Aromas of flaky, buttery pastries and brioche fill the nose, with toasted malts and baking spices making their way in. Complex yet balanced, this whisky is full-bodied and appears to be more woody and grassy on the palate, balanced with vanilla and nutmeg. A subtle finish, the soft spices and sweet notes from the old Cognac casks linger on.
