Kirker & Greer Shamrock Single Malt 16 Year Old is a well-aged Irish whiskey that boasts complexity and depth, offering a sophisticated balance of rich malted barley flavors, subtle oak, and a smooth texture. It is aged for 16 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, which contributes to its unique flavor profile. The whiskey is bottled at 46% ABV, presenting a stronger, more defined taste while still maintaining smoothness and drinkability.

You can expect a blend of honeyed sweetness, vanilla, and dried fruits such as raisins and apricots, along with a touch of spiced oak and a hint of dark chocolate. The influence of the sherry cask aging is evident, with nuances of rich fruitcake and a mild nutty undertone, creating an elegant and welcoming nose.
TASTE: The palate is equally expressive and complex. There’s an immediate smoothness that gives way to tropical fruits, such as mango and pineapple, mingling with more traditional Irish malt characteristics like biscuity malts and a hint of grains. The richness from the sherry cask adds layers of dried fruits and a subtle spice—think cinnamon and cloves.

Japan Blended Japanese Whisky

The Tottori Bourbon Barrel expression is a variation of the classic Tottori Blended Japanese Whisky, which is known for its smooth, approachable character. This particular expression is matured in bourbon barrels, which adds a different layer of complexity to the whisky, especially when compared to other Tottori expressions that may focus on other types of cask finishes.

NOSE: The nose is clean and inviting, with a subtle vanilla sweetness derived from the bourbon barrels, along with hints of citrus zest (lemon and orange) and a touch of honeyed sweetness. There’s also a faint whiff of malt and a light spiciness—maybe a hint of cinnamon or ginger—providing depth.
TASTE: On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, with a slight sweetness from the vanilla and caramel notes of the bourbon cask. There’s a gentle, slightly floral fruitiness (green apple and pear) mingling with malty undertones. The oak influence starts to come through, adding a bit of spice (like cinnamon and cloves) and a touch of toastiness. The whisky’s mouthfeel is light but with enough substance to feel satisfying.
FINISH: The finish is medium in length, with the sweetness from the bourbon casks lingering. The oak leaves a soft, warming sensation along with a spicy dryness that balances out the sweetness. There is a light malty flavor that fades gently, leaving behind a smooth, slightly sweet aftertaste.

Ireland DOURO OLD VINES

Teeling is one of Ireland's most exciting and innovative distilleries, and their limited-edition releases have garnered significant attention for pushing the boundaries of maturation and cask finishing. The Teeling Douro Old Vines Casks expression is a special bottling that showcases Teeling's commitment to experimenting with unique cask finishes. For this release, the whiskey is finished in Portuguese Douro Valley wine casks—the same casks that are used for aging Port wine, but in this case, the casks come from vines that are over 100 years old, giving the whiskey an added depth of flavor and complexity.

NOSE: The nose is immediately inviting with rich, sweet aromas. There’s a deep dark fruitiness—think of blackberries, plums, and black currants—intertwined with the familiar honeyed sweetness typical of Teeling whiskies. The wine cask influence is evident, with jammy red fruits and a touch of raisins giving it a fruity complexity. Alongside the fruit, there’s a gentle spiciness, with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and a light oakiness. The nose is elegant and layered, with a winey sweetness that’s beautifully integrated with the smoothness of the Irish whiskey.
TASTE: On the palate, the whiskey is smooth and rich, with an initial burst of dark fruits—black cherries, dried figs, and raspberries. There’s a jammy, wine-like quality that adds a touch of sweetness, but it’s balanced by a slightly spicy warmth, with notes of cinnamon, cloves, and a subtle pepperiness. The influence of the old vine casks gives the whiskey a slightly earthy character, adding depth and complexity. The whiskey feels round and silky, with a light oak flavor that emerges towards the finish, lending a sense of structure without overwhelming the more delicate fruity notes. There’s a gentle creaminess, perhaps from the grain and distillation process, that adds to the overall smooth texture.
FINISH: The finish is medium to long, with the fruitiness lingering on the palate. The influence of the Douro wine casks remains, leaving behind a sweet and slightly tannic sensation, reminiscent of port or red wine, with a lingering note of dark chocolate and dried fruits. The spicy warmth gradually fades, leaving behind a smooth, winey sweetness that lingers on the tongue, encouraging another sip.

Smokehead Terminado Tequila Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43% (0.7l)
0.7L
Scotland Single Malt Scotch

Smokehead is a brand known for pushing the boundaries of whisky flavors, and its Terminado Tequila Finish is no exception. This expression is a bold and adventurous take on Islay single malt, finished in tequila casks to create a unique fusion of smoky peat with the vibrant, zesty flavors of tequila. Smokehead typically comes from the Islay region (though the distillery is not officially disclosed, it's widely believed to be from the Ardbeg distillery). The combination of peated whisky with tequila cask finishing provides a whisky experience that is complex, smoky, and distinctly lively.

NOSE: The nose opens with a distinct smoky peat characteristic, with classic Islay aromas of damp earth, charred wood, and bonfire ash. However, as you get deeper into the glass, a surprising agave sweetness begins to emerge, almost like freshly squeezed lime juice mixed with a light, tropical fruitiness—think of pineapple or even a touch of mango. The tequila cask influence is unmistakable, with a gentle herbal note of agave and a slight hint of saltiness, reminiscent of the seaside. There’s a faint touch of vanilla and citrus zest that adds brightness to the nose, making it both smoky and refreshing.
TASTE: On the palate, the whisky offers a bold combination of smoke and freshness. The peat is the dominant flavor at first—there's a rich, earthy smokiness that feels like it’s straight from the embers of a bonfire, accompanied by a bit of sea salt and brine. However, the tequila cask finish introduces a fresh, zesty element that cuts through the smoke. The influence of agave is noticeable, with flavors of lime, lemon zest, and a bit of citrus tang. As the whisky unfolds, there’s a tropical fruitiness that adds complexity—a touch of pineapple and mango alongside the sharper lime. The mouthfeel is full-bodied with a slight sweetness, thanks to the tequila cask influence, but the peaty smoke remains strong throughout, providing a backbone to the experience.
FINISH: The finish is long and lingering, with the smoky peat continuing to dominate, but the tequila cask influence subtly remains, leaving behind a citrusy, agave-driven aftertaste. There’s a slight herbal bitterness, with a touch of white pepper and a faint trace of salty sea air, rounding out the finish with a dry, slightly warming sensation. The agave sweetness fades, but the smoky, salty flavors persist in a satisfying conclusion.

NOSE: The nose is fresh and inviting, with a pronounced sweetness that showcases the classic Aberfeldy character. There are ripe fruits, such as apple, pear, and a hint of tropical fruit—maybe a touch of pineapple or even mango. Beneath the fruit, there’s a layer of honeycomb sweetness, along with vanilla and a light touch of malted barley. The influence of oak is subtle but adds a faint suggestion of warm spices (think cinnamon and nutmeg) alongside a touch of buttered toast. There’s a slight floral note in the background, giving it an overall fresh and light profile.
TASTE: On the palate, the whisky is smooth, with a slightly creamy texture that coats the mouth. It’s light to medium-bodied, with the fruity notes from the nose coming through strongly—juicy apples, pears, and a touch of citrus zest, like lemon or orange.

There’s also a hint of malty cereal character that gives it some depth, with a gentle spiciness emerging mid-palate (cinnamon, a touch of white pepper). The balance is lovely, with a slight dryness coming from the oak, but it never overpowers the delicate sweetness.
FINISH: The finish is medium in length, with the fruit and honey notes lingering gently. The oak influence becomes more apparent toward the end, with a slight dryness and a soft, warming spice that lingers on the tongue. There’s also a faint herbal note that appears in the aftertaste, along with a light maltiness that ties the whisky together.

FINISH: The finish is medium to long, with the dried fruit and caramel notes lingering. There’s a light but pleasant warmth from the alcohol that carries the rich, sherry-influenced flavors through.

This release is an impressive showcase of Islay’s bold character, while incorporating a touch of finesse that elevates it above being just a "peat bomb."

TASTE: On the palate, the high ABV makes itself felt immediately with a warming, tingly sensation, but the whisky maintains a remarkable level of smoothness.

The mouthfeel is full-bodied and intense, with a complexity that unfolds as you let it sit on the tongue.
FINISH: The finish is long, smoky, and warming, with an enduring peat smoke that lingers on the palate. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving behind a slightly savory, briny note that’s characteristic of Islay malts.

This Ukrainian whisky is an artisanal, small-batch expression that combines elements of traditional Scotch whisky with the unique characteristics of Ukrainian terroir. It is likely aged in a combination of American oak barrels and possibly local wine or fruit casks to impart complexity and depth. The whisky has an approachable yet distinct profile, showcasing both the smoothness of classic grain-based whisky and the aromatic influences of local fruits, herbs, or even honey.

NOSE: The nose opens with a soft sweetness driven by the grain and cask influence.

As it sits on the tongue, there’s a slight nutty undertone, perhaps of almonds or hazelnuts, complementing the fruit and spice layers.
FINISH: The finish is medium to long, with the honeyed sweetness lingering in the background. The oak spice and the herbal warmth continue to echo, providing a satisfying and balanced conclusion.

A touch of oak and toasted nuts adds depth, while a subtle earthy and herbal note rounds out the aromatic profile.
