This is the first ever Kilchoman to be fully matured in sticky-sweet ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. These barrels impart their dark, fruity notes of sultanas and raisins, crammed full of sweetness that is balanced perfectly with a rounded peaty and citric quality Kilchoman is known for. High percentage chocolate comes through on the palate, with orange peel and spices (smoky paprika), lingering on lip-smacking sherry sweetness and burning peat.

The latest edition to the Kilchoman portfolio is a bramble (blackberry) liqueur, made with blackberries that have been macerated with malt whisky, honey and a healthy dose of Kilchoman's new spirit. On the nose the smoke is obvious, but softens on the palate where the fruitiness starts to shine with a. This is a distinctive liqueur that will really appeal to peat lovers

Fresh peat smoke mingles with a soft cooked stone fruit sweetness, with layers of smoke. On the palate there is a surge of tangy peat smoke and a vanilla pudding sweetness that leads to a sea-side, peppery smoke. The barley, oak and peat come together in harmony on the finish which is long and peaty. Consistently one of the best whiskies to come from Islay, made by the Wills family at Rockside farm.

Please note: this is a 200ml bottle

Sanaig is the newest permanent addition to the Kilchoman range. Sanaig is predominantly bottled from Oloroso sherry Hogshead casks, and this influence is most obvious in its rich colour and flavour. The aroma is classic Kilchoman, with soft cooked fruits, full-bodied peat smoke with citrus notes and a lingering sweetness. A perfect balance of peat smoke and fruity sweetness, somewhere between Machir Bay and Loch Gorm.

The long-awaited return of the 40 year old Glenfarclas has arrived. This new release is packaged in an all-new wooden box that is modelled after the famous red warehouse doors of the distillery. This is one of the most complex and sophisticated whiskies we have ever stocked - aromas and flavours of prunes, dates, leather armchairs, walnuts and chocolate covered raisins, with a heart of orange segments (chocolate dipped), brown sugar and a wonderful drying oakyness - a masterpiece of a dram from one of Scotland's most beloved distilleries.

Matured in the iconic red-doored warehouses of the Glenfarclas distillery of Scotland, this incredibly rare whisky represents half a century of the tireless work of the Grant family and their team at the distillery. Celebrating John Grant's 50 year tenure at Glenfarclas, just 836 bottles were yielded from a small selection of casks that were laid down in the early 1970's, watched over and waiting until fully matured in 2022. This is one of the rarest expressions currently available from Glenfarclas, and we are delighted to offer some of the scarce number of bottles that came to New Zealand. Bottled in a bespoke Glencairn crystal decanter and hand-made wooden presentation case.
