Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company is a dedicated cause, acquiring some of the rarest casks from some of the finest whiskey cellars, and releasing them into the world as a cascade of limited edition, barrel-aged ambrosia. In 2013 bourbon and Tennessee whiskey were labeled the fastest growing product category by volume in the U.S. alcohol business. The Orphan bottling project was more or less an ingenious response to this boom in the whiskey industry, and an effort to accommodate the vast quantities of leftover product from their monopoly of acquisitions. When Diageo didn't have a place for the acquired product in their blends, they set the spirits aside. Time transformed this new spirit into aged delicacies. In 2013, Orphan Barrel Whiskey was created by Diageo, commercializing a large stock of ultra-aged American whiskeys that it had been maturing at the Stitzel-Weller distillery in Shively Kentucky. Orphan Barrel Muckety-Muck is a similar beast, except that it hails from across The Pond. Following in the footsteps of Forager's Keep 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, it's their first single grain Scotch and an equally well-aged one at 24 years. The spirit comes from the famous Port Dundas Distillery that operated for 2 centuries, until its closing in 2010. This liquid comes from the rare remaining stocks that offer a glimpse into the historic distillery.

Usquaebach (Oos: Ke: Bah) is the name derived from the ancient Gaelic phrase, meaning water of life. These are the ancient words from which the word whisky is derived. A pleasant nose of pears, cooked apple, caramel and white pepper leads to a rich, slightly floral palate with layered notes of caramel, citrus and dried fruit. Hints of spice emerge on the lightly peppery finish.

Meaning 'Smoky Two' in Scots Gaelic, Toiteach A Dhà (pronounced Toch-ach ah-ghaa) is a sequel to the original peaty paradox on Bunnahabhain’s gentle single malt.  To create this Mòine variant, our blending team selected a combination of ex Bourbon and Sherry casks which were then matured in full, in our coastal warehouses on Bunnahabhain Bay.

With touches of smoke from our peated malted barley, this whisky’s prickling strength emanates from the dram, while warming with a lingering, robust length and delicately sweet sherry influence.

Distillery Information

The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843, on the Dornoch Firth by brothers William and John Matheson. The site originally held a farm distillery under the name Morangie. There is evidence that distillation was carried out at this site during the early 18th century. Production began in November of 1849. During the latter part of the 19th century Glenmorangie began overseas exportation and destinations included Europe and the United States.

Royal Lochnagar 12 Year House Baratheon is one of eight single malts Scotch whiskies made to commemorate the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones. Set to hit shelves in the fall of 2018, this 12 year-old single malt features the sigil for House Baratheon--a crowned black stag.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 80 (40% ABV)

Age: 12 Year

Origin: Scotland

Distillery: Royal Lochnagar Distillery

Detailed Description

Royal lineage drives the iconic pairing between House Baratheon and Royal Lochnagar. Similar to Robert Baratheon ruling the Seven Kingdoms upon the Iron Throne, Royal Lochnagar was deemed a whisky worthy of a royal family as it was granted a Royal Warrant after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the distillery in 1848. Balanced with delicate fruits and spices, this taste of royalty is best enjoyed neat. Light notes of oak and sweet liquorice that develops into a rich, creamy vanilla coffee and finishes with a mild nutmeg custard note. These iconic whiskies serve as must-have collectibles for Game of Thrones and whisky adorers.

Distillery Information

Everything about the plant, especially its two small stills and worm tubs, point to this being a classic, heavy 19th century site. Instead, its distilling team work to make it light. The wort from a rake and plough mash tun manages to be clear (which is not easy to achieve). Ferments are long, but it is the way in which the stills and worms are utilised which makes the difference.Distillation is slow to maximise reflux and the stills doors are opened after distillation to allow air in to rejuvenate the copper. Meanwhile, the worm tubs are run warm. All of this maximises copper conversation and produces a new make with the aroma of dry grass, a background of fruit and mid-palate depth. It is this weight which allows the bulk of the make to be aged in ex-Sherry butts.

Distillery: Bruichladdich Distillery

Detailed Description

1x Bruichladdich Islay Barley (200ml, 50% ABV) Unpeated, honey, citrus and sea salt. 1x Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie (200ml, 50% ABV) Unpeated, fruity, floral and elegant. This is Bruichladdich signature style. 1x Port Charlotte Scottish Barley (200ml, 50% ABV) Heavily peated, smoky sweetness. Full of depth and complexity.

Distillery Information

Bruichladdich is living proof that the traditional whisky regions of Scotland make no sense. Please dont think that labelling a whisky Islay has anything to do with taste because the truth is far more complicated and interesting. Built in 1881 when puffer-supplied coal was available as an alternative fuel to local peat, it is likely that Bruichladdich was specifically designed to produce the purest unpeated spirit possible. The great Alfred Barnard supports this view with a tantalising clue the Laddie is the only distillery on Islay that he does not describe as drying its malt using peat in his fascinating exploration of the island's distilleries in 1885.

Usquaebach "An Ard Ri" Blended Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich yet slightly taut, complex nose that's almost savory at times. Initially, there's light, floral honey, overripe pineapple, honeydew melon, and a mineral, almost white wine fruitiness. Close behind, malt syrup, cereal flakes, and leftover cereal milk mingle with almond extract and a hint of toasted pecans. There are some subtle old library notes, smooth and worn oak, and leather, and mild spice notes of vanilla bean, peppercorns, allspice, dried star anise, and clove. Behind all of this, loitering in the shadows, is a faint hint of peat. Adding a little water adds a bit of citrus sweetness, plays up the milky malt a bit more and gives everything a little more room to breath.

Palate: A quite nice, lush, viscous mouthfeel. There's darker honey now, along with juicy raisins, prunes, and mixed tropical fruits. While there's still notes of caramelized grain, there's additional hints of bittersweet chocolate, and a more pronounced nuttiness salted almonds and candied walnuts. The oak is sturdier but still of the old library variety. The spices are stronger and lightly herbal with quite a bit of black pepper and raw ginger, Vietnamese cinnamon, clove, and a bit of fennel. As with the nose, water brings out more citrus and a bit more nutty complexity.

Finish: A slightly wine-y, honey and raisin sweetness fades slowly along with a slightly bitter nuttiness, and a mix of tannic oak and spice.

Glencadam 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Each dram of this Scotch greets you with a fresh and lively nose of citrus, vanilla, fruits, cut grass, and spicy oak.

Distillery Information

The distillery is owned by Angus Dundee plc and produces one malt whisky, with the remainder of production sold to blenders or used within Angus Dundee plc for use in blended whisky brands.

The whisky we distil from the organic barley of Mid Coul reflects the complex natural flavours of the landscape. Just as our stillmen refuse to abandon the traditional crafts of distillation in favour of automation or industrialisation, so farmer William Rose rejects the use of herbicides, pesticides and artificial fertilisers. Crop rotation is key. Our barley must take its turn in a seven year farm cycle that also produces organic cattle, sheep, oats, beans, grass, carrots, market gardening and a megawatt of green electricity. Respecting the land, the soil and the climate nourishes a genuine and thorough understanding of terroir and the results are pure Bruichladdich.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Fresh malted barley, melon, peach and apricot. Opens up with notes of rich honey, lemon meringue and floral notes of gorse and heather. Vanilla and caramel and pastry notes from the wood are nicely balanced with the intensity of the fruit, waves of pear apple and gooseberry still hint at the fresh green fruits of the spirit.

Taste: Sweet pear drops, vanilla fudge, chocolate and marzipan initially. No aggression here at all just well-integrated flavours and a round gentle texture. The oak and malt notes complement each other so well overlapping each other with toasted rye bread, buttery popcorn and fresh oak, vanilla fudge and smooth caramel merging. The organic barley seems to give more fruit from the distillation and a more viscous texture which is a joy to the olfactory senses.

Finish: Sweet citrus, lemon drops, come through well on the finish and a slight char from the oak gives depth. The finish feels more marine, a little briny alongside the oak and malt which works beautifully.

Character: Elegance, richness and definite Bruichladdich DNA. The depth of flavour comes from the malt and its transformation through the alchemy of distillation. The spirit is pure and fresh, the oak rich and honied, together with time the combination of great oak, superb barley and slow distillation make for an amazing exploration of the fundamentals of making whisky.

The union of the two worlds of Sherry-seasoned oak - American and European - creates an extraordinary fusion of toffee and subtle spice. Delicate flavors of honey and toffee in exquisite balance with baked apple, sweet raisin, and rich oak spice.
