Following fermentation, the grains are twice distilled through Glenrothes copper-pot stills. The stills, which were designed and fashioned to be exact replicas of the original stills installed in 1879, are incredibly tall and uniquely shaped, which contributes to the overall light and sweet flavor of the whisky. After distillation, The Glenrothes stillmen remove the heads and tails of the distillate and preserve only the "hearts"for maturation (the hearts comprise less than 20 percent of the entire distillate).Glenrothes 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (GandM Bottling) was distilled in 1973 and matured for forty years in first fill sherry casks.

In February 1899, Shinjiro Torii the father of Japanese Whisky opened a general store in Osaka, Japan that traded in imported wines. Within a decade, Torii began producing his own sweet grape wine called Akadama Port Wine, which became wildly popular throughout the country. Following the end of World War I, Torri fascinated by whisky his entire life decided to expand his business and began construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Japans first-ever whisky distillery.Fifty years after the construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Keizo Saji inherited his fathers vision and began construction of Suntorys second distillery. Although inspired by traditional Scottish distilleries, both Torii and Saji envisioned a uniquely Japanese approach to distilling whisky. As a result, the Hakushu Distillery is situated amidst the deep forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in Japans southern Alps, and enjoys a unique microclimate as a result of being surrounded by nearly 6,000 varieties of plants and thousand-year-old granite rocks.The Hakushu 12 Year Old Japanese Single Malt Whisky is made exclusively from malted barley, which is milled and mashed with water sourced from the Ojira River and Jingu Rivers (the water has a unique softness and purity, made possible by its filtration through the granite rocks of the Japanese Alps). Once the grains have been mashed, they are fermented by a unique strain of yeast (Hakushu Distillery has thousands of unique strains in its arsenal) in wooden washbacks. Despite the additional cost and labor required, wooden washbacks as compared to stainless steel washbacks take advantage of the distillerys unique location by incorporating naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms into the wash.Following fermentation, the wash is distilled twice through Hakushus copper-pot stills before the whisky is laid to rest in the distillerys warehouses. Once the whisky has aged for a minimum of twelve years, it is brought to proof with pure Japanese spring water. As a result of the whiskys slumber in Japans deep forests, Hakushu 12 Year Old Japanese Single Malt Whisky has an herbal aroma, with hints of apples, pears and almonds. The palate has notes of pears, butter cookies and dark plums that are complemented by a subtle, smoky undertone. The finish is soft and pleasant, with a dry, lingering touch.Hakushu 12 Year Old earned the Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, where it was named "Best in Class." In addition, it earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2013, and a score of 92 points from the Beverage Testing Institute.Pick up a bottle today!

Situated deep within the Carlow countryside, the Urglin Glebe House is over two centuries old and the headquarters of the Irish Whiskey Co. The company was founded by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, who had previously owned a ski chalet in France and were in search of the perfect Irish whiskey with which to spike their famous coffee. Eventually, their search led them to opening up their own distillery. The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey is made from a vatting of aged The Irishman Single Malt and aged The Irishman Single Pot Still whiskeys, each of which is crafted from Irish barley (the long summer days in Ireland, along with the mild and wet winters, are ideal for growing barley). After the barley has been malted, it is mashed and fermented before being distilled three times through copper pot stills and ultimately laid to rest in ex-bourbon American Oak casks.Each year, Bernard Walsh scours the distillerys cellars to hand-select a number of exceptional casks which are then blended together to create The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey.As a result, the whiskey has an aroma of delicate malts, bourbon and ginger. Notes of oak, caramel and baking spices dominate the palate, and lead to a rich finish touched by honey and fudge.The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey won the Gold Medal at the Whiskey Masters and was awarded 94.5 points in Jim Murrays Whisky Bible.

Over the past century, nearly one hundred malt whisky distilleries in Scotland have been permanently closed or destroyed. Most of these distilleries were lost as a result of macroglobal conditions, such as Prohibition, world wars or financial crises. As a result, many of the unique and venerable brands in the Scotch whisky industry were considered permanently lost until now.The Lost Distillery Company is an independent boutique Scotch Whisky company that is determined to create unique, modern expressions of the legendary whiskies that were distilled nearly a century ago. "We are obsessive about our craft and uncompromising when it comes to whisky quality," says Michael Moss, the distillerys Master Archivist. Moss is a Professor of Archival Science at the University of Glasgow and focuses on ten critical components in order to accurately recreate whiskies that were distilled nearly a century ago.The ten critical components are the date of last distillation, the region within which the distillery was located, the distillerys water source, the distillerys barley source, the distillerys yeast source, the distillerys drying process, the distillerys mash tun, the distillerys wash back, the distillerys still and the type of wood that was used to mature the whisky. Once these components are determined, Moss and his team of archivists and whisky makers marry together single malt whiskies from distilleries across Scotland in order to create a present day interpretation of that long lost whisky legend.The Lost Distillery Gerston Malt Scotch Whisky is a recreation of a single malt whisky distilled at Gerston Distillery, which existed in two iterations Gerston One (1796-1882), which was a small, family-sized operation that nonetheless gained customers throughout London, India and Brazil, and Gerston Two (1886-1914), which was more of an industrial scale operation with ten times the production capacity of Gerston One. While Gerston Two could never quite emulate the success of its predecessor ultimately Gerston Two was demolished in in 1914 the Gerston name will forever be remembered for its excellent quality and early popularity in the style of lightly peated, malted barley now synonymous with the Highlands region in Scotland.Once the malt whiskies used to recreate each of these single malts have been married together, they are prepared for bottling. "While our ten key components are critical in determining the flavor profile of a whisky we recreate," says Moss, "its just as important to recognize what wasnt in the whisky. A century ago, there was no such thing as chill filtration or caramel colouring of the final product. Thats why we dont do either of these things today."As a result of this recreation process, The Lost Distillery Gerston Malt Scotch Whisky has notes of bitter orange, fresh linens and toffee on the nose, and a palate marked by cereal grains, roasted nuts, raisins and licorice. The finish is powerful with notes of peat, seaweed and sweet butter candy.Pick up a unique malt whisky recreation today!

Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid began renting the home from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Reid was a farmer, and soon after he sowed the fields surrounding the home with barley, Reid established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estates Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky.After the barley is harvested in late August and early September, it is malted before being mashed in one of The Macallans two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallans copper-pot stills. Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16 percent of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and rich whisky.Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged for nearly two decades in a combination of sherry-seasoned Spanish oak and sherry-seasoned American oak casks. The Macallan takes great care to source, craft, season and care for these casks, as they account for approximately 60 percent of the final aromas and flavors of the whisky, according to a study commissioned by the distillery.As a result of the sherry-casks, The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky has an aroma of toasted oak and ginger, along with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate is bursting with orange citrus and clove, as well as a very subtle wood smoke, and leads an elegant finish filled with toffee, oak, almonds and dried mangos.The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky received a rating of 92 points from Wine Enthusiast, which called it, "Balanced and complex."Pick up a bottle today!

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" single malts in Scotland the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Fortunately, The Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their "Speyside" designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the "official" boundaries doesnt mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. The Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage.The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very "deep bench." Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following. Their achievements are numerous, including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of scotch at auction this year.The Macallan Triple Cask Matured line is a marriage of single malt whiskies that have been married in American sherry-seasoned casks, European sherry-seasoned butts, and American ex-bourbon barrels. They refer to the three elements as "A Trinity of Spirits" and the line available in three different agings has become one of The Macallans most popular offerings.The Macallan 18 Year Old Triple Cask Matured previously known as Fine Oak 18 Years Old sits at the top of the line. The eighteen years of aging not only develops an exquisite flavor profile, it also adds a velvety character and mouthfeel over complex notes of baking spices, vanilla and cocoa, orange and wood smoke.Get your bottle today!

This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and and rich whisky. This highly anticipated 30 year old release is an expression from The Macallans Sherry Oak range series of single malt whiskies matured in hand-picked Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez. Deliciously smooth with a long, rich finish, the natural dark mahogany color of the 30 Years Old is the richest in the range.Pick up your bottle today!

The Macallan M was masterfully designed by the Creative Director Fabien Baron, and the beautiful crystal decanter was crafted by Lalique.This luxurious Single Malt Scotch Whisky was made from a marriage of seven unique casks of Macallan, each of which was personally selected by Macallans Master Whisky Maker after more than two years of searching through the Macallans vast cellars of over 195,000 barrels. Each cask (the oldest whisky was distilled in 1940) was previously used to mature Oloroso sherry.As a result, the whisky as a deep copper color, along with an aroma of dried fruits, vanilla, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" single malts in Scotland the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Fortunately, The Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their "Speyside" designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the "official" boundaries doesnt mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. The Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage.The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very "deep bench." Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following. Their achievements are numerous, including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of scotch at auction.At the higher end of the Macallan line is the Masters Decanter Series, of which there are four The Macallan Reflexion, The Macallan no.6, The Macallan M, and The Macallan M Black. Each is special in craftsmanship and in the unique, artistic decanters crafted of fine French crystal by the famous House of Lalique.The Macallan Reflexion Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted from whiskies aged primarily in first-fill, sherry-seasoned oak casks. Moreover, many of these whiskies were stored in petite hogshead casks, which enhance the flavor, color and complexity of the whisky as the relatively higher surface area of wood encourages more interaction with the whisky. Finally, the sherry-seasoned barrels are combined with a smaller proportion of American oak-aged whisky, creating an extraordinary and elegant whisky.As a result, The Macallan Reflexion Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a highly floral aroma, with notes of vanilla, apricot and apples giving way to a palate accented by chocolate oranges and lemon pie. The finish, which has faint hints of new oak, is dry and incredibly smooth."Wood sits at the very heart of what we do at The Macallan and this range further demonstrates the vital role of our casks in the production of these superb whiskies," says Stuart MacPherson, The Macallans master of wood.Pick up a superb whisky today!

Eager to satisfy the growing demand for high-quality whisky from customers of his grocery store, James Moir established the Glenglassaugh Distillery in 1875. At the time, it was commonplace for store owners to distill or blend their own whisky (a store owner by the name of Johnnie Walker began blending whisky in the 1830s for his own customers). The location of Glenglassaugh Distillery it is situated on the outskirts of Banffshire in the Highlands region of Scotland was chosen because it offered ready access to an incredibly clean and pure water supply: Glassaugh Springs. In addition, the area is surrounded by fields of ripe, plump barley that are ideal for distillation.For over a hundred years, the Glenglassaugh Distillery operated at its original site, producing single malt whiskies that were best known for their starring roles in renowned blended Scotch whiskies, including Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse. In 1986, however, production at the distillery ceased, and would not be restarted until 2008, when new owners took over Glenglassaugh. While the distillery is again producing new whisky, the new owners discovered they had purchased quite a bit more than the famous distillery itself: the purchase also included a cache of some 400 casks of aging Glenglassaugh Single Malt whisky, each more than twenty years old.Upon this realization, Glenglassaughs former master distiller hand-selected his favorite cask from the remaining cache. The whisky resting in the cask was distilled in 1973, and had matured for over forty years in a refill sherry hogshead barrel. After he purchased the cask, the whisky inside was bottled at cask strength.The Malt Whisky Co. Glenglassaugh 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich aroma of berries, brown sugar, apples and pears. Notes of apricots, raspberries, oak, vanilla and toffee dominate the palate, and lead to a smooth, fruity finish.Only 254 bottles of this whisky were ever made, and only eleven remain that were aware of.

Glendullan is situated in Dufftown, the whisky capital of the world. As one of the busiest whisky epicenters, it is home to some of the greatest Scotch whiskies ever created. Founded in 1898, by William Williams and Sons from Aberdeen, the distillery was actually decreed by King Edward VII in 1902.Like most distilleries, Glendullan has a history of ownership changes and renovations. In 1926, the distillery was bought out by Distillers Company Limited, then switched hands to Scottish Malt Distillers in 1939. By 1962 the distillery was renovated, and only a decade later a new facility was constructed near the original site. In 1985 the original facility was mothballed.
