Balcones – Brimstone Country: American Region: American Age: Strength: 53% Summary: Purification through fire – a Texas oak fire, that is. Rather than using Scottish peat smoke, this one-of-a-kind whisky is smoked with sun-baked Texas scrub oak using our own secret process. The result is a whisky full of fresh youthful corn and light fruit notes married with a bold smokiness. Whether you like smokey whiskies, or just have a penchant for big, new flavours, Brimstone is sure to be memorable pour. Aromas of masa, Texas campfire and powdered sugar tempered with an almost salty goodness. Bold yet balanced, Brimstone is yet another Texas first from Balcones. We hope you enjoy. Brimstone is the worlds first wood smoked whisky … a Texas campfire in a bottle. Nose: confectioners sugar, cold-smoked butter, corn husk, BBQ pit, stone fruit, chili peppers and graham crackers. Taste: candied oak smoke, English pipe tobacco, butter, orange marmalade, fruit cocktail, sweet tea, chili peppers. Finish: long dry finish, herbal/mint ends in a mineralness as smoke returns . |

Old Pulteney – 21 Year Old Single Malt Country: Scotland Region: Highlands Age: 21 Year Old Strength: 46% Summary: As with the 17-year-old, with this expression they marry together Old Pulteney matured in ex-bourbon wood with spirit from ex-sherry wood casks. The crucial difference, however, is that the ex-sherry wood in this case is made from American Oak (mostly Fino sherries). This adds yet another layer of complexity, depth and character to this truly superb malt whisky. Nose: Full bodied with traces of fruits (apples and pears); slightly fragrant with spicy overtones. Colour: Golden amber with straw highlights. Taste: Sweet to start with a light fruitiness; hints of honey and vanilla followed by a dry finish. |

Port Ellen – 32 Year Old – Old & Rare Edition Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: 32 Year Old Strength: 54.80% Summary: Douglas Laing & Co. proudly offer this fine example of the Distillers’ Art as a special selection from their oldest stocks of whisky. No water is added to reduce its strength, as the Angel’s share has already taken care of that. No caramel, colouring is added, so that you can see it’s pure and natural colour. They have chosen to bottle this malt without chill-filtration in the old fashioned and traditional style. By so doing, they leave in the entire Distillers’ preferred qualities apparent on the nose, palate and finish – self evident when you remove the cork. As you can see on the label, this is one bottle of a very restricted offering, which once consumed, cannot ever be repeated. Opens richly spiced, carrying a fresh leather character – still surprisingly peaty for its age with an earthy, smoked grist character. The palate is initially sweetly peated and runs to a smoke, toffee and spiced character – each pushing for more attention until they harmoniously join in the long finish. Now with salty liquorice – soot and a charcoal ashy quality. |
