Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky, March 2022 Release
Distillery Bottling. Release 31. Bottle No. 0286/1040.
750 ml / Yukon, Canada / 46% ABV

"Distilled and matured under the midnight sun in Whitehorse, Yukon, Two Brewers whiskies benefit from having a brewery to keep the cash flow positive during the 7 year maturation period, and a brewer to manage the fermentation flavors. Peat smoke, freshly-washed hospital garments, antiseptic—typical Islay with a lot more fruitiness. Sweet canned fruit cocktail and persistent smokiness all wrapped together in a neatly-balanced unit. Hot peppers, hints of green licorice, and caramel. 85/100" -Whisky Advocate

Whistlepig 'Old World' Straight Rye Whiskey, 12 Year Old
Distillery Bottled
750 ml / Vermont, USA / 43% ABV

"This rye flaunts some obvious age through the wood and varnish notes on its nose; earthy and lean, with ample oak, like opening an old wooden dresser drawer to find a spent sachet hinting of dried flowers and cardamom. The palate offers gentle sweetness, nougat-like, but is driven mostly by toasted pecan and walnuts, with dark chocolate-covered almonds on the finish. 88/100" -Whisky Advocate
