Black Friday Bundle

The best remedy for any lingering ‘turkey overdose’ and ‘over-shopping’ evils is Scotch whisky and I’m quite sure that you’ll find my Rx most enjoyable. This Glencadam is da bomb! I just love this style of whisky, because it for its unique taste and interesting complexity. Glenlivet Triple Cask Matured is the half-step in strength that sought in a #2 slot whisky. Here’s a lovely dram that is currently missing from Arran’s core line-up: Arran 14-Year. But there’s no need for us to bemoan its absence: I have a bottle. Glengoyne is a mellow highlander at its 43-46% ABV typical strength. But it’s a bit of a beast at cask strength.

There are many fine cask strength ranges available from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, Signatory, Gordon & MacPhail and, most recently, Battlehill. Unlike the other independent bottlers, Battlehill costs $50 a bottle. While they’re young CS whiskies, only fully-matured casks are selected. Let’s try BH’s Royal Brackla, an awesome 5-year-old offering at 58% ABV. Let’s top it off with a lovely dram of Port Charlotte Scottish Barley.

We hope that you can join our Black Friday tasting and do bring a friend because “good whisky is made great when shared among friends.”
