Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique (70cl, 55.6%)
Winner of the 2015 World Whisky Awards – Whisky of The Year
In ancient times, the land around I-Lan in Taiwan was called Kavalan, a mysterious land that was solely inhabited by the indigenous people of the Kavalan clan. The name was officially recognized by the Emperor of the Chin dynasty in the year of 1809 when the original city was also built under the same name.
Kavalan had always been kept primitive and protected from the outside world by the Syue-shan mountain range which is abundant in high quality natural water that comes from deep within the mountain range. The mists of Kavalan and the spirits of the past have been created for you in this exquisite whisky.
Vinho is fully matured in used American oak wine barrels that have been toasted and re-charred in a way that brings out fruity vanilla notes from the whisky and wood overlaid on a delicate background of complex fruitiness.
The oak casks are made from American oak that has been seasoned in the open air for at least 24 months. The oak is slow grown that results in a greater release of flavours into the whisky. This reduces the astringent effect of tannins and releases more vanilla spiciness and hints of herbs such as dill and lemon grass. The result is softness and added complexity.
The casks have (deliberately) been used to mature both red and white wines which eventually will contribute the background complex fruitiness to Kavalan Solist Vinho.
After their use for wine maturation the casks are carefully shaved inside then gently toasted over an oak chip fire for a strictly controlled period of time and temperature. This converts wine residues into a complex mixture of fruit flavours including lime, berry fruits and peaches. Then the casks are charred for a short period of time to release lashings of flavours such as vanilla, ice cream and caramelised sugars.
The result is a more complex whisky than is possible than with whisky casks alone!

Amrut Kadhambam Third Edition (70cl, 50%)
Here we have an Indian single malt from Amrut, titled Kadhambam, which means ‘mixture’ in Tamil, and you’ll realise why that name was chosen once you hear all about the cask maturation. It’s initially matured in bourbon casks, before being transferred into Oloroso sherry casks, then moved to brandy casks and, finally, into rum casks. Finally, the whisky was bottled at 50% ABV, packed with a pretty unique flavour profile.
Amrut Portonova (70cl, 62.1%)
A very interesting little whisky from Amrut, this is unpeated and aged in American oak bourbon barrels before a finish in port pipes, especially imported from Portugal. Lovely stuff!
Spirit of 1966 Geoff Hurst Collection Signed No.1887 70cl, 46%
Spirit of 1966 Whisky
This limited edition single malt celebrates the English football team’s iconic victory in the 1966 World Cup, in particular Sir Geoff Hurst MBE, who scored the famed hat-trick which secured the win. Marrying a selection of unique casks, each bottle has been hand signed by Sir Geoff Hurst himself! Only 1966 bottles were produced, we’re sure Sir Hurst must be relieved about that, seeing as he had to sign them all. This should certainly hit the back of the net as a gift for an England football fan.
This is a unnamed English single malt whisky that was bottled by The Spirt of 66 as part of the Sir Geoff Hurst Collection. The bottling commemorates the 1966 World Cup Final which saw England beat West Germany 4-2.

Gouden Carolus Esmeralda Limited edition 2019 50cl, 46%
Gouden Carolus Esmeralda becomes the 6th vintage at Gouden Carolus. Esmeralda is a limited edition of 8000 bottles on the occasion of the 6th anniversary of Stokerij De Molenberg. After an initial maturation of 30 months in ex Bourbon barrels, a second finish of 48 months in Madeira wine barrels followed. Exactly 600 years ago, Portuguese explorers arrived on the island of eternal spring and named it after the abundance of wood (‘Madeira’). This green emerald (‘Esmeralda’) in the Atlantic Ocean is known for its fortified wines. The notes of raisins and nuts give this fruity and spicy whiskey a seductive elegance. The soft sweet taste is broken with a slight acidity and results in a long, rich aftertaste. The 6th Anniversary Edition Esmeralda was appropriately given a green color that fits nicely with the previous colors. The previous edition,
