Caol Ila 12 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company (70cl, 45.8%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Our first 70cl release from the Caol Ila distillery is a 12 Year Old, thats been finished in an ex-rum barrel, and why not? Maturation in rum casks will bring out the fruitier notes from this Islay whisky.

We’re expecting to get around 349 bottles at 45.8% abv.

For a long time Caol Ila was only available as a single malt by visiting the distillery or through independent bottlers. Initially made available via a release in the Flora and Fauna series, the first official releases came in 2002. Known for its peated style of malt (same ppm as Lagavulin) up to 30% of production is now unpeated.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company has been in the indie bottling biz for over a decade and has built up a cult following thanks to its exceptional liquids, and storytelling labels with artwork from Emily Chappell. Now it’s celebrating those labels with a collection of limited-edition whiskies, highlighting some of the favourite characters from past designs, and in full-sized 700ml bottles, rather than Boutique-y’s standard 500ml size! This single malt from Caol Ila matured for a total of 12 years, including a finish in a rum cask, ramping up the tropical fruits and creamy sweetness of the coastal malt at its core. The label features Prince Vultan, which Flash Gordon fans might recognise from the ’80s film, and keen-eyed Boutique-y fans will have seen hiding within the artwork for previous Caol Ila bottlings.

A release of 419 bottles.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends, all adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels. The brand won Spirits Bottler of the Year at the 2023 Spirits Business Awards, and Blender of the Year went to Sam Simmons, captain of the Boutique-y clan who oversees every one of these releases.

Ardbeg An Oa (70cl, 46.6%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

An Oa is named after the Mull of Oa in the south west of Islay, which offers the Kildaton coast (where Ardbeg distillery is situated) some protection from the worst the Atlantic has to offer! As such, An Oa is intended to show a more approachable side to Ardbeg single malt that’s as rounded as the Oa peninsular, without losing the characteristic distillery style. In the summer of 2017 this became the first addition to Ardbeg’s core range in over a decade.

Maturation took place in a combination of casks including Pedro Ximénez, charred virgin oak and ex-bourbon, which were all brought together to marry in Dr. Bill Lumsden’s new ‘Gathering Vat’!

Caol Ila Moch (70cl, 43%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Taking its name from the Gaelic for ‘dawn’, Moch is a wonderful newcomer from Caol Ila and is a must-try for fans of this outstanding distillery. Lighter in style than the standard 12yo expression, Moch is a fantastic easy-drinking dram.

Caol Ila Moch is the first single malt from the distillery to be selected entirely on the basis of its taste, rather than age, cask wood, strength or finish.

The nose is creamy and lemony, before a silky-smooth medium-bodied palate that still packs a peaty punch. The finish is dry, sooty and very more-ish.

Moch was available initially only to the Friends of the Classic Malts exclusively from The Whisky Exchange. We think it’s the best FOCM release in years and a very exciting addition to the Caol Ila family.

Released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old is big and smoky, with sweet spice that becomes apparent with a drop of water. Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an ‘exceptionally fine’ eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask (70cl, 48%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak.

Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone throw from the Atlantic shore.

This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig distinctive peatiness.

On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil.

The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.

Also, yes, it was incredibly hard to resist making an Electric Six reference when writing this bottling note.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Tube (70cl, 40%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Our 10 Year Old is the original Laphroaig, distilled the same way today as when Ian Hunter invented it more than 75 years ago. It is the foundation of all other Laphroaig expressions.

In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour.

Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.

This whisky was also named 2019 Best Single Malt Scotch 10 Years & Under by Jim Murrayâ Whisky Bible.
