WH***EY WEDNESDAYS | VOL. X 🥃
𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐑𝐢𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 — 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝟐

Speyside isn’t known for smoke. BenRiach doesn’t care.

While most Speyside distilleries built their reputation on fruit-forward, unpeated malts, BenRiach does both — and this release leans all the way into peat. Matured in two cask types, then bottled at cask strength with nothing filtered out.

Why it’s special:
• Peated — a rarity for Speyside, where smoke isn’t the regional signature
• Cask strength — bottled at 60% ABV, nothing added, nothing cut
• Two-cask maturation, non-chill filtered for full texture and flavor
• Batch 2 — small-batch release, not a standing year-round pour

Smoke where you don’t expect it. 🥃

WH***EY WEDNESDAYS | VOL. IX 🥃
𝐀𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝

Most Scotch is distilled twice. Auchentoshan distills three times — a method almost no other Scottish distillery still uses.

Three Wood takes that already-unusual spirit and matures it through three different casks: bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez sherry. Each one adds a different layer before the wh**ky ever reaches the bottle.

Why it’s special:
• Triple-distilled — a rare technique among Scotch producers, yielding a lighter, smoother spirit
• Matured in three casks: bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez sherry
• One of only a handful of Lowland distilleries left in Scotland
• Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) — approachable without losing depth

Three casks. One glass. Zero shortcuts. 🥃

𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 — 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐚𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬

Two Kentucky and California icons, one bottle.

Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Collaborative Series pairs their straight bourbon with barrels from an unlikely source: Silver Oak, the Napa Valley w**ery famous for Cabernet Sauvignon. The result finishes bourbon in w**e barrels instead of the usual sherry or port — a cross-industry collaboration most distilleries don’t attempt.

Why it’s special:
• Finished in Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels — w**e country meets bourbon country
• Bottled at 108 proof (54% ABV), no shortage of intensity
• Part of Bardstown’s Collaborative Series, built on partnerships outside the wh***ey world
• A genuine cross-industry pairing — not just a marketing label

Two industries. One glass. 🥃

WH***EY WEDNESDAYS | VOL. VII 🥃
𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐤𝐚 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥

Not a single malt. Not a standard blend. Something Nikka’s own category didn’t exist for yet.

From the Barrel takes dozens of malt and grain whiskies — some over 10 years old — and blends them at a strength most producers water down. What’s left is uncompromising: a wh**ky built the way Nikka’s founder, Masataka Taketsuru, believed wh**ky should be made.

Why it’s special:
• Blended from dozens of malt and grain whiskies for maximum complexity
• Bottled at 51.4% ABV — well above standard bottling strength, undiluted character
• A cult favorite among wh**ky collectors worldwide, despite no age statement
• Distinctive flask-shaped bottle, designed to evoke a bartender’s blending sample

Small bottle. Big wh**ky. 🥃

Ask yourself: are you the person having a quiet Friday in, or the person watching their cocktail get set on fire at 6PM?

We know which one sounds better.

🥃 Carajillo — flambéed tableside
🥃 Honeyed Verdict — for something with more edge

Wh***ey neat, 50% off, 5–7PM.

WH***EY WEDNESDAYS | VOL. VI 🥃
𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 — 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟓 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬

Distilling since 1794, on two of the smallest stills in Scotland.

This 15-year expression matures over a decade in refill casks, then finishes four more years in Oloroso and Palo Cortado sherry casks. Bottled at cask strength — nothing added, nothing cut.

**Why it’s special:**
• Cask strength — 55.3% ABV (110.6 proof)
• 4-year finish in Oloroso and Palo Cortado sherry casks
• One of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries
• Coastal profile — dried fruit, dark chocolate, sea salt

Small distillery. Big statement. 🥃
