Caol Ila / Bowmore (Douglas Laing Old Particular)
There appears to be a subset of the Old Particular range from Douglas Laing, called The Islay Collection . It celebrates the smoky reputation of the island. Especially in The Netherlands they've made quite a bit of noise about it.Douglas Laing started this series with three finished whiskies (2x port and 1x tequila). If it's really a celebration of the classic Islay character, then why not showcase it in a natural state?

Glenkinchie 2008 / Caol Ila 2007 (DeinWhisky)
We received a package with two new releases from Sansibar . These are white label bottlings exclusively available from DeinWhisky , from Glenkinchie and Caol Ila distilleries. Both whiskies are 18 years old and come from a sherry cask but with a clearly different cask influence. Glenkinchie 18 yo 2008 (54,1%, Sansibar for DeinWhisky.de 2026, Oloroso sherry hogshead, 273 btl.) Nose: a juicy style of sherry, with sweet and sour berries at the fore. Damsons, sour cherries, hints of strawberry jam. This is lifted by some cinnamon and peppermint, leading up to subtle floral top notes. Then light cocoa and herbal honey. The fruitiness and elegance are quite excellent. Mouth: now clearly more spicy and even a little tannic. There are dried herbs and drops of strong coffee along with plain winey notes. Also toffee sweetness, red fruits again (plums and cranberry) with some mint chocolate. Finish: medium to long, with a peppery and floral note as well as some citrus and toffee.Although it

Diageo LE Mega-lineup
We’ve worked with a ton of brands over the years, but Diageo was a tough nut to crack as we couldn’t get a consistent contact to work with. Diageo distilleries showed up frequently in our line-ups as independently bottled expressions, but never OBs. We picked up a bunch of LEs from a local collector and decided we’d just run an event on our own without … The post Diageo LE Mega-lineup appeared first on Toronto Whisky Society .

High End Vintages
Back in the day, we did a higher end event every year, but that fell to the wayside a bit during COVID. we’ve revisited this old favourite with a line-up of bottles all 20+ years old. First off was a Braeval / Braes of Glenlivet 32yr old from Murray McDavid finished in Margaux casks. Delicious palate opener and very refined spirit! Second was another Murray … The post High End Vintages appeared first on Toronto Whisky Society .
