If it’s fall it must be whisky, and if it’s whisky, it must be time for some exciting new releases. Here are three decadent drams we’re dreaming of this fall.
The Dalmore is releasing its Cask Curation Series II: The Port Edition. It features three single cask single malts celebrating The Dalmore’s long-standing partnership with the Grahams Port: a 27-year-old, 30-year-old and 43-year-old, each finished in a single harvest tawny port cask. The release is limited to 150 sets worldwide; as for the price, well, if you have to ask … thedalmore.com
Fettercairn Highland Single Malt Distillery is releasing the even more limited edition 200th Anniversary Collection to mark its bicentenary. Only 10 sets are available around the world, at a price of $160,000 CAD. Each comprises six remarkable bottles of single malt packaged in handcrafted oak cabinet. They range from a very rare 60-year-old to a three-year-old that marks the launch of the distillery’s award-winning Scottish Oak Project, for a combined age of 200 years. The Canadian exclusive set will be available at BC Liquor Stores’ premium spirit release November 7 at 39th and Cambie. fettercairnwhisky.com
At a somewhat less stratospheric price point is Forty Creek’s 18th annual limited-edition whisky, Maplewood Select. It’s a collectible small-batch whisky finished with sugar maple wood for a smooth, complex flavour with lingering spice notes. It retails for about $90, but will only be available for a short while. fortycreekwhisky.com
