An old dusty, clearly from the leather-look case! A very clear departure from GG’s modern approach – there is no 21 year age statement any longer, but rather “vintages” of specific years, such as 1999. A great dram!

Kirkland 20 Year Sherry Cask Finish
You cannot purchase Kirkland Whisky in Ontario, but the Club was able to procure a bottle for interests’ sake. Actually quite good for the very fair price of around $70 for a 20 year whisky ($100 for us). There are several online theories regarding which Speyside distillery the whisky actually came from…
Signatory Vintage Glenburgie 25
Another great expression from Signatory Vintage, and another new distillery to this club! Great to experience an affordable 25 year-old at a reasonable price point in the $300 range. Sourced from Alberta.
Tullibardine 25
A smooth, well loved dram on a lovely summer night. You won’t be seeing 25 year old Tulli for a while, as the distillery was not operating from 1995-2003. This bottle was purchased in 2020! Perhaps there is still some around?

The Single Cask – Ben Nevis 20
A great dram from an independent bottler – wish we saw more Ben Nevis around Ontario, a friendly place located at the foot of mount Ben Nevis in Fort William, Scotland, but owned by Japanese whisky, Nikka.
Ardnamurchan Peated American Oak
The Peated Version, in a fantastically styled bottle. Exclusively for Canada, we got bottle 15 of 266.
Ardnamurchan Paul Launois Release
Another exciting double header from a new distillery for the club, one of the most remote in Scotland! Only producing whisky since 2014, it was a treat to experience Ardnamurchan with so little of its offerings ready/available. We tried both the peated and unpeated versions. Looking forward to what’s to come from this young distillery!
Daftmill 2009 Summer Batch Release
February brought us a double header of lowland single farm estate distillery Daftmill – winter and summer batch releases!
