The light character of Glenkinchie Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is born from its distillation in some of Scotland’s largest stills.

The Glenkinchie's generous nature is accentuated by a delightful winey essence that contributes to a fuller-bodied, dry, spicy and fruity flavor profile. This enhances the grassy undertones of the regular release, making it a truly appealing whiskey.

Nikka Whisky Days 80 Proof 750ml

Nikka Whisky was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru — the father of Japanese whisky, who studied distillation in Scotland and brought that knowledge home to build one of Japan’s two great whisky empires. Today, Nikka operates two legendary distilleries: Yoichi on Hokkaido’s rugged northern coast, and Miyagikyo in the lush mountain valley of Sendai — each producing whiskies of distinctly different character that the master blenders artfully combine. Nikka Days was created with a clear mission: whisky for every day, approachable and joyful without sacrificing the craft that defines Nikka.

The result is a beautifully balanced blend of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts — silky, floral, and fruit-forward, with a delicate complexity that rewards sipping neat or shines in a Japanese highball. The round bottle and vibrant label are no accident: this is a whisky designed to brighten your day, whatever the occasion.

"A delicate balance is achieved by the skillful blending of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts. With impressive floral aromas, this expression offers an extremely silky mouthfeel and fruity flavors that rise and expand, leaving behind a delightful aftertaste." — Nikka Whisky

The Glenlivet · French Oak Reserve · 15 Year Old

Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Speyside, Scotland | 750ml

The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve gains its distinctive richness through selective maturation, with a proportion of the spirit matured in French oak casks. This approach adds depth and spice to the whisky's elegant, floral character, offering a layered single malt for unhurried sipping.

Deep gold in the glass, it brings sweet almond and spice together with the peaches-and-cream character described by Whisky Advocate. Vanilla, clove, and a pleasing dryness lend definition to the rounded profile.

Expert Reviews

Whisky Advocate · JH, Spring 2005 | I enjoy Glenlivet whisky for its subtle elegance, floral notes, along with a delicious 'peaches & cream' flavor. For this particular whisky, finishing some of the whisky in new French oak barrels adds depth, dried spice (vanilla, clove) and pleasing dryness to the Glenlivet profile. This whisky is more polished and refined than the 12 year old expression it replaces. (JH, Spring 2005)

Wine Spectator · February 2011 | A deep, elegant malt with astonishing body nuances. Smells of dusky rose, honey and cereal, then breaks out toasty on the palate, with a flash of hard candy, honey, licorice and chocolate. The long finish alone is reason to drink this, resonating with the flavors while adding a charming, rooty grittiness before ending with a pleasant astringency.

Expert Reviews

The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | The name of this whisky has nothing to do with coffee—rather, it's named for a type of still invented by Aneas Coffey, which is used to make this golden spirit. It offers mild vanilla-pear aromatics and is relatively light and silky on the palate. Look for a light vanilla sweetness at first, which gives way to a rounded dark chocolate note and baking spice finish. Recommended for highballs and other mixed drinks. 

Producer Description 

Coffey Malt is made from 100% malted barley. However it is not categorized as “malt whisky” but as “grain whisky” since it is not distilled in a pot still. This unique production method results in extraordinary flavors and texture. 

Memo Summary Notes

The Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky is a unique and celebrated expression from Japan that defies traditional Scotch-style categorizations. While it is made from 100% malted barley, it is classified simply as "Whisky" (rather than Single Malt) because it is distilled in a Coffey still (a traditional column still) rather than a pot still.

The Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | Best Buy | 96 Points | The aroma entices with bold caramel and vanilla. The palate is brisk and relatively dry, despite the succulent aroma, showing vanilla and oak up front, and rounding into nutmeg, almond, vanilla and bitter orange on the finish. Versatile for cocktails, including its namesake Sazerac.

The Whisky Advocate 91 Points |  Fresh orange, raspberry, caramel candy corn, cotton candy, and lemon aromas, with a hint of fresh banana. On the palate, smooth, spiced, and fruity, with notes of candied watermelon, cherry hard candy, and overall candied sweetness, with a dash of pepper spice. The finish is smooth, with muted sweetness and fruit notes of raspberry sorbet—spicy but well-textured and of medium length, with a great veneer of softness and emerging spice.

Producer & Heritage

The Nelson family's whiskey story stretches from Charles Nelson's Nashville grocery business to Nelson's Green Brier Distillery. The producer's historical notes below recount the family business and the Belle Meade label; they are background, not a claim that this rye shares the historic bourbon's recipe or production details.

Producer Description

Nelson Brothers Straight Rye Whiskey is bottled at 92.5 proof. This American whiskey features tasting notes of nutmeg, dried apricot, mint, leather, cinnamon, and cedar.

Seeking an American dream and a fresh start in Nashville, Charles Nelson opened a grocery store that flourished from his three best-selling products: coffee, meat, and whiskey. This eventually led to his focusing only on his whiskey business, the demand for which was far exceeding the supply. He bought the distillery that was making his whiskey in Greenbrier, TN, and a patent for improved distillation. Throughout this success, he began to make a name for Tennessee whiskey and a household name for himself, as well. Belle Meade Bourbon was one of about 30 different labels that Charles Nelson produced in the late 1800's. Unlike most of his other products, it was produced in conjunction with a third party, Nashville's Sperry Wade & Company, who had contracted Nelson's Green Brier Distillery to sell bourbon, rye, corn, and Tennessee whiskies bearing the Belle Meade brand.

Belle Meade Bourbon was the toast of the town when it hit the market in 1878 and became known as a great value and top-quality product. Long after prohibition's end, Charlie and Andy Nelson dedicated their lives to bringing back the family business and resurrecting the once-great Nelson's Green Brier Distillery. This was no small feat for two recent college grads who spent years being told "no" by potential investors, but that didn't stop the tenacious Nelsons.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Try neat, over ice or in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. For food, consider aged cheese, roasted nuts or a slice of apple tart to complement the whiskey's fruit and spice notes.

Producer Description - Voyage 28

OCEAN Voyage 28 made another long run off the Baja Peninsula, through the Tropic of Cancer and down the coast of Central America. The air was hot and heavy with moisture. Rain would have been a relief but it never came.

Our transit back through the Panama Canal was swift and smooth and while it remained hot and sticky, our final days through the Caribbean and up the Atlantic coast were smooth and clear.

The humidity, dramatic swings in temperature and ever-changing sea conditions had the effect of bringing balance and richness to the complex array of flavors and tastes you will find in OCEAN Voyage 28. 

Matured exclusively in hand selected American oak ex-bourbon barrels.

Glenmorangie · 18 Year Old · Extremely Rare · Single Malt Scotch

The 18 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. It spends fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks before approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for a further three years. Once both elements reach 18 years, they're blended back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.

For a whisky of this age, this expression has maintained an incredible degree of vibrancy thanks to its delicate floral spirit and fine Oloroso casks, where the raisiny sweetness of the sherry is toned down by the nuttiness of the American oak.

Specs

• Producer: Glenmorangie
• Age Statement: 18 Years Old
• Region: Highland, Scotland
• Cask Maturation: American White Oak, finished in Spanish Oloroso Sherry Casks
• Size: 750ml

Aromas of prune brandy, bakery shop, honey, nuts, dried strawberry and dried orange peel. The palate is smooth, silky, pretty with good complexity. D&M Tasting Notes
Second Maturation in port barrels

Our malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and traditional wooden washbacks form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Our elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the richest spirit which is then filled into the finest casks and left patiently maturing in our warehouses. Nearly 70% of the flavour in whisky is derived from the cask it has been matured in. Wood’s important, which is why we adopt a ‘no compromise’ approach when choosing our world renowned sherry casks to enrich our whisky. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that The GlenDronach is famous for.

Tis was just the season for fruit cake, boxes of citrus deliveries, and gift boxes filled with dried fruits and chocolates. To keep the flavor theme going, you can chase down a bottle of The GlenDronach Port Wood. The rich fruity notes and well-timed heat of this single malt delivers the Highland experience, taking you on a journey across the ocean, away from the land of whiskey, to the land of whisky. The Whiskey Wash

It was initially “matured in the distillery’s signature Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, followed by a second maturation in some of the finest port pipes from the majestic Douro Valley in Portugal.” Non age statement.
