Maker’s 46 by Maker’s Mark
A totally new kind of bourbon, bold and complex yet approachable and easy to drink, this expression of Maker’s Mark was the fruit of Bill Samuels Jr. and Brad Boswell of Independent Stave, the cooperage that has made oak barrels to Maker’s Mark specifications since its founding in 1953.In the 46th different recipe explored, finished Maker’s Mark was added to barrels with 10 “seared” French oak staves and returned to the coolest part of the warehouse. This process lends natural flavours of caramel, vanilla and spice to the familiar Maker’s Mark profile, giving something bigger and bolder than before.

Finish : A waft of smoke appears during the long finish.

Glenfiddich Project XX Experimental Series #02
The second release in Glenfiddich’s Experimental Series is their Project XX expression, which was made not simply by one Malt Master, but 20! 20 Malt Masters were invited to the Glenfiddich distillery and invited them to pick any expression from the thousands of casks maturing in the warehouse. The 20 chosen whiskies were then married by Malt Master Brian Kinsman to create this single malt you see before your eyes.
Nose : This smells like a bit of a beastie, lots of woody spicy notes, toffee and orange peel. Clearly some serious cask action going on here.
Palate : Lots of wood: cloves, cinnamon and vanilla with tingly wood tannins, all wrapped up with some sweet fudge notes.
Finish : Long and layered, with lingering notes of espresso and dark chocolate.

Yamazaki Distillers Reserve
Released in Spring 2014, this is one of two Distiller’s Reserve single malt whiskies from Suntory in Japan. This single malt from the Yamazaki distillery is jam-packed with superb red berry notes, gained from the whisky being matured in Bordeaux wine casks and Sherry casks. It also features malt matured in Mizunara casks, adding subtle fragrant oak notes.
Nose : Classic Yamazaki strawberries and dried fruits with floral notes coming from the Mizunara cask whisky. Fragrant sandalwood and maybe coconut. Certainly a whisky where you could get lost in its nose!
Palate : The dried berries remain lively on the palate (it even develops some raspberry notes along the way), but they’re dialled back a bit to make room for light oak, white peach and a small amount of spice.
Finish : Vanilla lasts and lasts, with spicy but sweet cinnamon acting as a final flourish.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 36%, Petit Verdot 9%
Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate
A solid effort from this beautiful St.-Julien estate, the 2013 Beychevelle displays a healthy dark plum/ruby/purple-tinged color along with a floral-scented nose offering notes of black and red currants, forest floor, and subtle oak. With excellent richness, fine-grained, soft tannin and enough acidity for definition, it should drink well for 10-12 years.92 points James Suckling

Château Beychevelle 2016
The 2016 vintage confirms the refined, elegant character of Château Beychevelle’s wines. It benefits from a new dimension with a more precise, more generous structure. This is a wine of immense but controlled power, wrapped in a silky, voluptuous texture.
Blend : Cabernet Sauvignon 47%, Merlot 47%, Cabernet Franc 1%, Petit Verdot 5%
The 2016 Beychevelle has a stunning bouquet of vibrant, shimmering blackberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with crushed stone and rose petals. The well-balanced palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a slightly savory/dried blood finish that lingers in the mouth.
95 points Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate
“The 2016 Beychevelle is a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc cropped at 45 hectoliters per hectare between 3 October and 18 October. It is matured in 50% new oak. Furthermore, it is the first vintage to be matured in the new chichi winery whose glass exterior overlooks the passing traffic on the D2. It has a very pure, fragrant bouquet with black cherries, cassis, cedar and wet limestone, extremely precise to the point where you might think it was from the Right Bank (logical given the proportion of Merlot in the blend). The palate is sensational: understated at first and bridled with ultra-fine tannin, it is a Beychevelle armed with a disarming sense of symmetry. It builds in the mouth towards a fabulously tensile finish that is so fresh and full of energy that the senses are almost overwhelmed. Frankly, it leaves all the other Beychevelles in recent years standing. This is an electrifying 2016 from winemaker Philippe Blanc and his right-hand man, technical director, Romain Ducolomb.”94 points James Suckling
“Stacks of cassis, graphite and smoke on the nose of this rather full-bodied St.-Julien with a ton of velvety tannins that drive the long finish that’s simultaneously sweet, fresh and powdery.”SKU: CDB06-1600750-RD - Batch 16, BenRiach Single Cask, Scotch, Vintage & Collectibles, Whisky
