Compagnie des Indes Rum Boulet de Canon No.10 46% 700ml
$164.00
For its tenth edition, our Boulet de canon is hitting hard! BOOM! Resulting from the ageing of our usual Boulet de canon blend (Nicaragua and Panama) in Six Quarter casks (quarter casks of a Butt = 125 Litres) from a very famous Islay distillery.
These casks underwent the same smoking process as did the Boulet de canon N°5 casks. Indeed, we sent these 6 casks to be smoked in a Tuyé (Jura Morteau sausage smokehouse) for 2 months before pouring the rum for a 6- month finish in the closed barrels.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: At first honeyed aroma emerges from the glass, then aromas of prunes and currants. It evolves into pine sap, iodine, and candied orange.
Mouth: A franc, woody, and roasted attack. Followed then by iced chestnut and English fudge notes, but also a touch of sweet chillies, mixed with lemongrass.
Finish: It’s deliciously indulgent, with the impression of biting into a chocolate hazelnut spread.

Port Charlotte 8 Years whisky 60.5% 700ml
$876.00
Port Charlotte is a former whiskey distillery located on the Isle of Islay on the west coast of Scotland that was originally scheduled to open in 2009 but was postponed to an unknown date due to the global financial crisis. Founded by the neighbouring Bruichladdich distillery, it was established in Port Charlotte in the buildings of the former Lochindaal distillery closed in 1929.
Its equipment comes from the old Inverleven distillery in Dumbarton which was demolished in 2003.
Port Charlotte brand whiskeys are distilled at the Bruichladdich distillery.
Famous single malt from the Isle of Islay, this Port Charlotte official version spent 8 years in sherry casks before being bottled at its natural strength.
Tasting Notes:
Colour ? Chartreuse sunshine.
Nose ? An updraft of sea spray and peat smoke greets you with spicy pepper and lemon aromas all exploding simultaneously. Spindrift on canvas sails with a tailwind of heather and myrtle. Then the sweetness of oak and malted barley burst through bringing calm for a while before you are swept onto the next wave.
Palate ? Viscous, rich and oily. Peat fire flavours and the mellow rich taste of sweet, oaky Demerara sugar toddy. Waves of Islay wash over the palate. An original Islay darm, unlike any other.
Finish ? Dreams come true and desires fulfilled! This prodigy of Islay?s west coast clearly shows that coastal maturation is THE key element as waves of marine notes add the vital spark to the oak sweetness of the spirit.
Port Charlotte 13 Years Whisky 64.6% 700ml
$909.00
When the Bruichladdich distillery reopened in 2001, the new owners at the time decided to develop, in addition to the eponymous whiskey, two other much more peaty single malts: Octomore and Port Charlotte. Alternately, peaty, smoky, saline and iodized, this version which takes us back 14 years, pays a vibrant tribute to the men who gave it birth and who have allowed it to acquire over time an enormous amount of complexity. retaining the naturalness that befits the best Islay.
Single Cask # R091600007 - Sherry Limited edition of 420 bottles for France Profile: spicy (clove), camphor, smoky (ash) and liquorice. Air. Peat and smoke play on a par with fresh-cut grass and candied fruit.
TASTING NOTE
Colour: deep golden yellow.
Nose: firm, lively. Particularly rooty peat close to malted barley takes hold of the first nose. Then, it gradually becomes spicy (cloves), camphoric, smoky (ash) and liquorice. Slender, it mellows with notes of vanilla, coconut and lemon. We also perceive dark chocolate and white fruits (apple, pear).
Palate: fine, airy. On the attack, peat and smoke play on equal terms with fresh-cut grass and candied fruits. On the mid-palate, ginger and liquorice stick provides a fibrous and somewhat tannic interlude. When aired, it evokes with limpidity notes of bitumen on which grow heady white flowers (lily, iris, lily of the valley).
Overall: long, elegant. This time, the course is set towards more marine and more saline tones. Thus, iodine, fleur de sel and seaweed inexorably take possession of the palate. It continues with notes of tobacco and spices (pepper, ginger). The retro olfaction is vanilla and the empty glass dazzles with peaty, fruity and spicy luminosity.

Habitation St Etienne Rum 2013 Islay Kilchoman 44% 500ml
$188.00
After more than 6 years ageing in oak barrels, as is the HSE tradition, this vintage rum has been enhanced by a further four to five months in barrels previously used for peated KILCHOMAN whisky, a single malt from Scotland's Islay region.
MASTER TASTERS NOTE
The nose transports us to a universe of peat and smoke and is enriched with aromas of tropical fruits, candied orange and golden tobacco. When swirled, notes of licorice and toast appear, while gradually giving way to the inviting cigar box aroma, characteristic of our aged rums. The taste is balanced with excellent breadth and asserts the peaty notes of the finish, enhanced by rare spices and soaked fruits aromas.
