We present the best spirits for both spirit enthusiasts and beginners. We shine the spotlight on some of the most impressive spirits as we sift though a variety of liquid treasures.
Currach Atlantic Kombu Apple Ice Wine Cask, Exclusive to Whisky Journey
This triple-distilled Irish single malt whiskey is made with 100 percent Irish malted grain and shows the results of careful ageing. The whiskey is aged in American oak first-filled ex-bourbon casks. Later, it’s finished in Atlantic Kombu Irish Seaweed-charred virgin American Oak casks. The whisky in this Whisky Journey is given an extra finishing in a Rare Killahora Apple Ice Wine Cask.
These casks hail from Killahora Orchards, where their Apple Ice Wine are made from their rare, bittersweet apples that are grown on the south-facing slopes of Ireland’s County Cork. The fermentation and freezing temperatures further shape the dessert wine. What you get is a sweet butterscotch note and a green apple flavour that compliments the roast coffee and dark chocolate notes, as well as umami flavours, of the Atlantic Kombu seaweed-charred casks.
This limited edition bottling has been bottled at cask strength, without caramel colouring and non-chill-filtered.
Exclusive to 2023, Tipperay single cask release Quaich Bar.
This single cask is made from barley grown in the United States. It’s a celebration for opulence. These limited editions, which are only 79 bottles each, embrace the essence of both sherry & port. With a rich sherry scent and the image of a soft campfire, you are in for a sensory adventure.
Resonating with sweet sherry, a melange of fruits—apples, pears, and dried figs—the palate is further suspended in a toffee symphony, which leads to a lingering, fruit-laden finish. If there’s any gem that’s coveted, you don’t have to look too far than this from Quaich Bar.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company: Bowmore 22 Year Old Scotch – Batch 25 (Exclusive Bottling For Proof & Company)
From the heart of Islay’s oldest distillery, Bowmore remains a steadfast a testament to resilence, time and a little upright fist towards the establishment. This particular release is bottled from a single sherry butt, aged since November 1998 and is solely reserved for Proof & Company. Aged in Bowmore’s fabled Vault No. The vault is situated closest to the ocean, making it a perfect place for this elixir.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company: Springbank 23 Year Old – Batch 28
This is the 28th release from the Springbank Distillery. Only 383 bottles with 48.92% ABV have been aged for 23 years. Springbank, the only distillery that malts all of its barley on its own floor maltings in Scotland, is where this batch was distilled. Nurtured in Sherry and Madeira butts and an American bourbon barrel, this batch is an embodiment of Springbank’s commitment to quality and self-sufficiency.
