It may seem like WC is promoting Glenmorangie this month after WC recently reviewed Nectar d’Or – but it is genuine coincidence that the Highland single malt brand has released a 12-year-old whisky finished in Amontillado Sherry casks as the fourth entry in their Barrel Select Release series of small batch single malts. Glenmorangie Amontillado […]
I am so, so, happy that Bushmills is putting out things like this Bushmills Rare Casks 29 Years PX Finish. I’m even happier that they aren’t neutering them with low proof and chill-filtering. They’re letting the whiskey come out of the cask and speak for itself in its most natural form. And that’s awesome. Some […]

Speyside distillery The Glenlivet has revisited their 21- and 25-year-old single malt whiskies with new double and triple cask finishes, respectively, to create the Sample Room Collection.

Back in 2013 Glenmo sent out bottles of experimental whisky to bloggers, writers and other whisky folks; this Glenmorangie Cask Masters “A” Grand Cru Burgundy Finish was one of the three in the kits. B was a an ex-Grand Cru Bordeaux and C was an ex-Manzanilla. At a private tasting I was able to try […]

This barrel select Glenmorangie 13 Years Cognac Finish is unlike most of the finished whiskies Glenmo puts out because it didn’t start life as the traditional Glenmo 10. Shocking I know, but this whisky only spent 8 years in ex-Bourbon casks before being transferred to ex-Cognac casks to finish it’s maturation. But not just any […]

Glendalough 7 Year Old […]
London-based Bimber Distillery has collaborated with London-based upscale department store Fortnum & Mason to release a single malt whisky finished in a fino sherry butt which they are calling London Single Malt Whisky. Bimber London Single Malt Whisky was matured for four years in ex-bourbon American oak casks before being finished in a fino sherry […]
10 yo Laphroag + ex-Oloroso casks = Laphroaig 10 Year Sherry Oak Finish. Laphroaig + sherry is a combo that works incredibly well and is something collectors go nuts for in the Indie market. Indie Laphroaig is pretty dang expensive these days, but if it’s been aged, or even finished, in sherry you can easily […]

Alexander Murray bottled this Kirkland Speyside 24 years Sherry Finish for Costco in July of 2021. It hit the shelves a couple months later and immediately made a splash. A 24-year-old, sherried, Single Malt Scotch, with that color, and priced around $70… how could it not? Here in SoCal it kept selling out as soon […]
