For a piece of peated perfection we have first dibs on the eagerly awaited Glen Moray Peated Rioja Cask Finish that was a HUGE hit at the recent (and ongoing) Whisky Show. There are a LOT of people eagerly awaiting this release after tasting it at the Whisky Shows – and the Club are the very first to get access to this superb whisky. Take Glen Moray’s approachable, orchard‑fruit‑driven spirit and thread it through a gentle ribbon of peat before laying it down in vibrant Rioja wine casks. The result is a single malt whisky that feels both familiar and delightfully unexpected - smoky, fruity, wine‑kissed, and wonderfully drinkable – The Glen Moray Peated Rioja Cask Finish Cask Strength! -
Is it time for a 8 year old, limited-edition, cask strength Speyside malt from one of the very first distilleries to ever market single malts? Let us introduce you to the Glen Moray 2015 Rioja Cask. As the name suggests this is fully matured in exotic Rioja wine casks. Rioja is a renowned wine region in northern Spain, famous for its high-quality red wines made primarily from Tempranillo grapes. The Glen Moray 2015 Rioja Cask release is a limited-edition single malt whisky that showcases Glen Moray's experimentation with cask finishes. It is part of their limited edition ‘Warehouse 1’ series. Distilled in 2015 and aged for in ex-Rioja wine casks, this expression combines Glen Moray’s classic Speyside profile with rich fruit and soft tannin influences from the Rioja casks. Presented at a hearty cask strength of 59.8% this is a huge Speysider in any language. -
Peat Freaks, REJOICE! Something unexpected has arrived. Forget what you think you know about the Lowlands. We are proud to introduce KinGlassie RAW - a Lowland whisky that is unapologetically PEATED! This is a historic release: it is InchDairnie Distillery’s first-ever peated whisky. It offers a masterclass in balance, delivering a dram that is distinctly peat-forward, yet never overwhelming. It’s the smoke you crave with the refinement you deserve. -
Snowy Mountains Whisky? Make way for a super small-batch, cask strength, independent bottling of one of Tasmania’s finest distilleries aged and bottled in the highest altitude of any whisky in Australia – The Snowy Mountain Spirits Tawny! Now Mark Newton is a man who enjoys doing things a little… differently. Not only does he independently age and bottle whisky in Australia’s highest location, he brings the new-make all the way from Tassie to do it. The Snowy Mountains Spirits Tawny was born in Tassie, at the Old Kempton Distillery in fact! For those members who don’t know, Old Kempton is a well-awarded small batch distillery located just north of Hobart. So how highly regarded is Old Kempton – well they took out ‘Best Australian Small Batch Single Malt’ at the World Whisky Awards in 2022, and have just won a silver this year!OUR TASTING NOTESNose: Lots of sweet spices up front for me – cloves, allspice and cinnamon over dried fruit and tinned apricot nectar. Palate: Lovely viscous mouthfeel (almost liqueur –like), and initial burst of pepper but all the big stewed fruit comes right through like a wave. Finish: Warm, chewy, lush and lingering. Coffee and dark chocolate, sweet spiced fruit mince and just a perfect cheek pinching citrus-like astringency. This is a small, and let’s face it, high priced package, but it won’t disappoint once you taste it. The ‘Tassie distillation - Snowy Mountain maturation’ makes it hard to put a flag on, but I do know it’s a fantastic example of a Tawny matured whisky. Nicely warming, big and round and sweet – but with a lovely dry back edge that makes you pour just one more dram. Ok, and maybe one more after that… -
This 13 year old unnamed Highland (cough cough - Highland Park) release fits squarely into the ethos that is North Star Spirits - cask strength, unfiltered, and chosen because the whisky itself had something to say - The North Star 13 Year Old Secret Highland! The North Star 13 Year Old Secret Highland was matured in a first-fill bourbon cask for no less than 13 years! Bottled as it came out of the cask at a cask strength of 58.2 glorious percent abv! Extremely low in phenols (smoke) this whisky presents essentially as unpeated – even though there is a percentage of Highland Parks own (peated) floor malted barley included in the mash bill. -

Get ready for a very serious, peat forward, extremely limited edition, powerhouse of a whisky from legendary cult distiller, Dan Wooley and his highly sought after Highwayman Whisky. Our November Members Extra is the sensational Highwayman Batch 3.5 Torn and Velvety - It’s peated and it’s proud and it certainly pulls no punches. The Highwayman Whisky Batch 3.4 ‘Torn and Velvety’ was hand selected by Brad and Dan specifically for the Club and it’s so limited we are limiting it to members who also purchase the Malt of the Month. A double Tawny cask matured blend of peated and unpeated whisky from the Highwayman still located in beautiful Byron Bay. We are indeed fortunate to have been able to secure this exceptional whisky as Dan Woolley’s Highwayman Whiskies are in high demand all over the country and fast becoming a cult favourite. ‘Torn and Velvety’ is made from a blend of two casks. A first-fill, 100L French Oak Tawny cask filled with unpeated spirit – just shy of 3 years old, and a 50L Tawny cask filled with peated spirit and matured for around 2 and a half years. The result is a spectacularly fruity whisky with a peat hit to match! This is going to make our peat-freaks extremely happy. No ‘subtle wafts’ here.OUR TASTING NOTESNose: Unmistakable peat influence on the nose sets the tone up front. There’s Charcuterie savouriness with some sea-salt and a few dried sweet dates around the edges Palate: Sweet, Tawny fruit notes really cut through the savoury smokiness beautifully creating a very well balanced palate. Loads of sweet fruit mince, caramel, coffee notes whilst the smoky peat provides real shoulders for them all to climb on. Finish: BIG, Long , Chewy and Robust! A real ‘peat-freak’ type of finish - the smoke swirling all around, but cut through by brilliant streaks of sweet, savoury, salty and umami in perfect harmony.
