Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Sherry and peat can be a challenging equation as the wine can almost cancel the peat. Some distilleries manage to get the balance right, creating a new and interesting take on much-loved classics (if your preference when drinking Laphroaig is to have it as coastal and earthy as possible, this may not be for you). The sherry oak finish isn't generally available in Australia, and we've only been able to secure a tiny volume. It has a higher ABV in its favour - the standard 10YO is just 40% - with Oloroso sherry casks in support. Apart from the expected smoke, seaweed and salt, you'll find notes of manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup. Probably lightly filtered, but it's not stated on the label. 48% Alc./Vol. Very limited stocks.
Bowmore 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bowmore is the malt from the world’s oldest Scotch maturation warehouse, the legendary No.1 Vaults, established in 1779. The first Islay malt, still carefully smoked in a peat-fired kiln, Bowmore is widely acknowledged to be among the finest, most perfectly balance single malts in the world.
