Glann ar Mor Whisky Maris 2016 46% 700ml
$188.00
The whisky has spent 3 years in a Bourbon cask. Polished brass. Thick, oily peat at first before a dryish / mildly fruity nose which is also slightly grassy. Sweeter in later inhalations revealing sponge cake, wax, oil (linseed?) followed by hints of dried apple, straw bale and vanilla after five minutes aeration. An odd yet appealing combination. Gentle yet fresh delivery with crisp / grassy malt and subtle herbal-tea like flavours. An unusual arrangement. Keeps you guessing. 46% Alc./Vol.

Vulson is the name of the man who, at the beginning of XVII century, built the house that now hosts the distillery Domaine des Hautes Glaces.
Vulson is now also the name of our range of Rye Whisky, and "WHITE RHINO RYE" is a spirit of rye which concentrates the flavours of this cereal, fruity and herbaceous.
ON THE EYE: Transparent.
ON THE NOSE: Fruity and delicious. Plum, pear, and lychee with an herbaceous element of juniper and mimosa.
ON THE PALATE: Beautifully rich and complex. The malted rye rolls sweetly on the palate and is deposited on a bed of dried fruit, pink berries, pepper and cloves. The palette is soft, long and balanced. A truly fascinating spirit.

Age is only one of the complex factors on which maturation depends. Blossoming Auld Sherried is the perfect demonstration of sherry impregnated wood’s greatest significance.

Michel Couvreur Whisky Pale Single Single 45% 700ml
$222.00
Michel Couvreur Whisky Pale Single Single 45% 700ml:
Nose - Fresh and well fruity initially. Vegetal (tea thyme-lemon), it makes me think of some Benrinnes. Simple and direct. Its expressiveness and fruity are lost along the way, too bad!
Taste - Moist and light, precise and pointed. Accessible and aromatic, it is spicy with vegetal notes from end to end. Finish Creamy and sparkling.
When your expectations are zero on a whisky, you sometimes have very good surprises! I have rarely been seduced by Couvreur, I had a great time.
