The much-anticipated Australian debut of Islay’s newest distillery…a big, traditional smoky sherry bomb from the home of peated whisky – Islay – Raise your glasses to the Ardnahoe Bholsa! The Bholsa is the second Ardnahoe whisky to be released in Australia. Heavily peated, and matured prominently in ex-oloroso, the Bholsa carries no age statement but is widely considered to be made from 4 and 5 year old casks. It’s a fantastic example of the big peated sherry bomb whisky that so many of our members love – especially as we head into the winter dramming months! -
This is a 10-year-old single malt from an unnamed Speyside distillery — let’s just say Elgin has some very talented neighbours — matured for a full decade in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, then bottled exclusively for SMWC members at a commanding 58.7% ABV. No chill filtration. No dilution. Just pure, unapologetic sherry-soaked magnificence. The nose alone will stop you in your tracks — sweet, fruity, and so irresistibly good you’ll want to linger there before you even take a sip. On the palate, it’s viscous and rich with wave after wave of chocolate-coated dates, while the finish stretches on long and chewy in the most satisfying way imaginable. This is the kind of dram that makes guests go quiet, then immediately ask what it is.
